food IS a theme park
It has never been easy to snag an Advance Dining Reservation at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom ever since it opened in late 2012. But that has been especially true as of late, as reservations simply weren’t coming up for dinner availability at all for dates starting in late July. And now we know why…
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Y’all, when we issued the 2018 Walt Disney World Cupcake Crawl Challenge a couple weeks ago, we knew it had the potential to be a deliciously fun activity for our amazing DFB readers — but we didn’t know just how adorable it could be!
You’ll recall that the challenge included fourteen of our favorite Walt Disney World cupcakes — plus a few bonus items that we just couldn’t help adding. The Rose Gold Cupcake sold at Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavilion at Epcot has been a particular fan favorite — even with a whole bunch of rose gold treats popping up every. where.

It’s a brand new week! And we’re back to start it off with another DFB Video today, where we’re asking if YOU are ready to take on the Disney World Cupcake Challenge!
Belle Cupcake from Big Top Treats in Magic Kingdom
Here at the DFB, we’ve been talking about our favorite cupcakes for years… and today we’re celebrating our current favorites with our Disney World Cupcake Challenge! This challenge takes you through all four Parks and some Disney Resorts, to boot, with a grand total of fourteen on the official challenge. But there are so many awesome cupcakes to enjoy that we’ve even got a few bonus ‘cakes on the list. We’ve done all the footwork in finding them, so all you have to do is decide if you’re up for the Challenge! [Read more…]
is a great wilderness food stop. Located on the path between Adventureland and Frontierland (and Pecos Bill’s neighbor) in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Golden Oak Outpost features a tiny and frequently-changing menu of mostly fried, delicious grub.

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ MICKEY WAFFLE?!
Most of us like-minded Disney food fans sure do. But the thing is, without an Advance Dining Reservation for a Table Service restaurant, it can be hard to find them inside the parks at Counter Service locations, even though they’re a staple in the Resort food courts. Last year, you could find Mickey Waffles at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor when they served a breakfast menu, but that only lasted a very short while.
Fortunately, now they have a new home in Magic Kingdom: Sleepy Hollow Refreshments! A fitting spot, since Sleepy Hollow is home to the popular Sweet and Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich and the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich with Nutella.
In fact, Sleepy Hollow has offered waffles topped with your choice of powdered sugar or strawberries and whipped cream for ages. But, while pleasant, they sure weren’t MICKEY-SHAPED.
But NOW…
Mickey Waffle
YES — it’s a JUMBO Mickey Waffle!! Clearly, we ordered up the Mickey Waffle with Strawberries and Whipped Cream (for $6.79 or a snack credit (!!!!) on the Disney Dining Plan).
Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, or Any-Excuse-To-Have-Some-Chocolate Day, there will be treats galore for you if you’re spending this week in Walt Disney World or Disneyland!
In Magic Kingdom, stop by Main Street Bakery to find the Mickey Cinnamon Roll with a special heart decoration.

The Milkshake of the Month at The Plaza Restaurant is a Strawberry and Chocolate Milkshake topped with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, a strawberry and chocolate shavings. (P.S. It’s BOTTOMLESS!!)
And if your idea of romance is inspired by Pecos Bill and Slue-Foot Sue, then mosey over yonder into Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe and order up some hand-dipped white and dark chocolate strawberries.
Here’s to the start of a brand new week! Let’s kick it off with another DFB Video, where we’re letting you know about 19 things you didn’t know you could do at Walt Disney World!
Did you know Sprinkles Cupcakes can come to YOU at your Disney World Resort?
There are certain things you can count on when you visit Disney World: you’ll more than likely see Cinderella Castle, ride some awesome attractions, and eat some tasty food! But Disney World offers a lot of hidden gem experiences that you may not know about. Did you know you can enjoy a meal with a Disney Imagineer, mark a milestone like your child’s first haircut, and learn to draw a Disney character in a certain Disney World resort? We’ll tell you how you can do all three of those things… AND 16 more in our latest DFB YouTube video! [Read more…]
Happy Weekend!! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re taking you on a food tour of EVERY restaurant in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland in Walt Disney World!
Be Our Guest Restaurant
When it comes to dining, Fantasyland is best known as home to two of the most popular dining experiences in Disney World, with Cinderella’s Royal Table and Be Our Guest Restaurant. But it’s not all Castles and Princesses when it comes to Fantasyland restaurants, where you’ll find everything from iconic park treats like Specialty Caramel Apples to Cinnamon Rolls to something by the name of the “Cheshire Cat Tail.” We’ll tell you where to find all those and MUCH more as we check out every single food stop in Fantasyland!

Happy Thursday! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re discussing a question we get asked quite often: What’s the difference between Disney World and Disneyland?
Welcome to Walt Disney World… OR is it Disneyland for you?
Now, I think we can all agree that both Disneyland and Disney World are magical places where vacation memories are just waiting to be made. But depending on your traveling group’s needs and vacation desires, one may be better than the other for your specific party. So in our latest DFB Video we’re talking about the differences and similarities in everything from Resorts to dining to attractions to parks and even more as we try to help you discover which of these two Disney destinations is best for you!
