food IS a theme park
Last month, we told you about the non-alcoholic specialty drinks that are available with the 2018 Disney Dining Plan — a post that will keep evolving as we learn more about what does and does not count as a beverage on the DDP. Specialty drinks include such tasty gems as Artisanal Milkshakes and Fresh Smoothies!

Every once in a while, a cookie comes along that demands its own immediate news post, and this — this is one such cookie. It’s from Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies, and it can only be found in one Disney World location: The Polite Pig.

Last summer, Mickey and Minnie Mouse totally took over coffee beverages at Joffrey’s Tea Traders Cafe in Disney Springs. Like, literally.

Thanks to the”Ripple Maker” machine at the location, guests were suddenly able to top several iced and hot specialty Joffrey’s coffee drinks with latte art featuring the guest’s choice of Mickey or Minnie Mouse.

We’re a quarter of the way into 2018, and I’m happy that the no-longer-new year so far has included a few trips to Disney World for me. But I don’t just go for me… I’m going for YOU, too, so I can share with you everything you should put on your Must-Eat list for your next visit! And I think all the dishes and snacks mentioned in our latest DFB Video should DEFINITELY go on your list this year! [Read more…]
Editor’s Note: We’ll be updating this post regularly as we learn more about how specialty, non-alcoholic drinks are being classified at Walt Disney World. If you’ve had experience with the plan, please comment below so we can add it to the post! Thanks, Disney food friends!
When the 2018 Disney Dining Plan details were released last June, many guests were excited to discover that alcoholic drinks would be included. For those who like to try adult beverages at Walt Disney World, this was an immediate way to bump up the value of the Disney Dining Plan!
But what about those guests who choose not to drink alcohol or who are under 21 years old (but still required to pay the adult price)? How can they maximize the 2018 Disney Dining Plan by imbibing in “specialty beverages” promised by the new DDP?
It’s challenge time, Disney food friends! And this time it’s all about the Main Mouse: Mickey! You already know that we love pretty much all things Mickey-shaped, so what better excuse to munch on those iconic ears than with a Mickey-Shaped Food Challenge?! Thanks to our DFB youtube channel viewer who suggested this fun challenge!

So…a poutine cloud apparently burst over Orlando and now you can get varieties of this relatively obscure French Canadian pub grub delicacy pretty much everywhere in Disney World. There’s even a dining spot completely dedicated to poutine.
The dish traditionally consists of French fries covered in cheese curds and brown gravy, and Canadians will cheerfully tell you that NONE of the dishes below qualify. Yet they’re called Poutine on the menu, and since we love french fries with stuff piled on top of them, we’re happy to tally them up for you!
Oh, and here’s some real Canadian poutine for reference.
