food IS a theme park
Disney World never ceases to surprise us!
Spaceship Earth and the Monorail
This week Disney made some unexpected Genie+ changes, some characters returned to their regular spot, and a useful form of technology went down temporarily, among LOTS of other news. Check it out here!
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of strolling down a boardwalk, you know that pizza is kind of a boardwalk staple. It’s one of those classic combinations that just makes sense, like Dole Whip in Adventureland or popcorn at the movies! Over at Disney California Adventure, we recently celebrated the reopening of Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta (FINALLY!), but after all that time away, how does the pizza taste at this newly reopened quick service location?
Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta reopened!
While we wait for the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival to begin, we figured we’d try some pizza to hold us over! Will this restaurant give us the happy feelings of being on the boardwalk on a sunny summer evening, or will it be a total flop? Let’s find out!
How can you elevate your beverage from a refreshing treat to a drinking experience? Disney may have cracked the code!
Pym Test Kitchen
The Disney parks are no strangers to fun specialty drinks. Hey, the Fuzzy Tauntaun at Oga’s Cantina even goes as far as making your mouth NUMB! One place at Disney California Adventure that’s known for its inventive menu items is Pym Test Kitchen, located in the Marvel-themed Avengers Campus.
It may seem like EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts JUST ended (and in fact, it only ended a few days ago), but get those forks and spoons ready because we’re about to dive straight into another EPCOT festival!
Mickey and Minnie Topiaries!
The Flower and Garden Festival begins on March 2nd, 2022, and lasts all the way through July 4, 2022. This event features elaborate topiaries of Disney characters, gardens inspired by different places around the world, and — our favorite part — lots of garden-inspired eats and drinks. There are so many things to try at this festival, so how are you going to keep track of everything you want to eat? Sounds like you’ll need our FREE DFB Flower and Garden Festival Printable!

Are there Mickey ice cream bars in space? Do Jedi in training get to snack between lessons? What if I just want to spend my time in space eating as many treats as humanly possible — what is there to munch on? You’ve got space food questions, we’ve got ANSWERS!
Star Wars Hotel Entrance
The newest immersive & interactive experience — Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel) — is about to open at Disney World. We got a special look at this entire experience thanks to a media sailing we were invited to and we’ve been sharing ALL the information you need to know. From full reviews of lunch, dinner, and breakfast, to details about the rooms and more — we’ve got you covered. Right now we’re tackling something VERY important when it comes to this space trip — snacks!
RUN. 🏃 We repeat, RUN, DO NOT WALK, to THIS special Star Wars Hotel spot if you really want to be in a foodie paradise. Forget the blue shrimp. Forget the colorful dumplings. There’s one spot in the Star Wars Hotel that is a true hidden gem when it comes to snacks, and we’ve got ALL the details you need to know.
Galactic Starcruiser
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel) opens in just a few days in Disney World and will be full of unique experiences, including a bar/lounge (called the Sublight Lounge) that is very different than the bars you’ve been to before. We got the chance to experience this bar/lounge and much more during a special media preview of the ship and we’ve been taking you along with us for the adventure. Now we’re turning our focus to the Sublight Lounge and all it has to offer. Is this spot one you can’t miss during your starcruiser experience or one you could totally skip? Let’s find out.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth, Disney World is definitely the place to be!
We’ll take 40!
One of our favorite spots to visit when we’ve got a hankering for dessert is Disney Springs. With so many great places to get something sweet, it can be hard to choose! There’s Vivoli il Gelato, the Ganachery, and of course — the super popular Gideon’s Bakehouse with their half-pound cookies! But today, we’re bringing you news about a limited-time treat at another Disney Springs dessert destination — let’s check it out!
It’s festival time, baby! We hope you brought your appetite and a notepad, because the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival is returning SOON, and now we’ve got a look at what will be on the menus! This fun foodie event is known to celebrate the foods of California with tasty snacks, drinks, and special events. Not only that, but guests can enjoy the old version of Soarin’, Soarin’ Over California, during the festival!
Disney’s California Adventure
If you love the golden state of California and can’t wait to celebrate, we’ve got some exciting news! Disney just revealed ALL of the menus for this year’s Food and Wine Festival. Let’s take a look!
Close your eyes and think about the smell of Main Street Confectionery at Disney World…
Seasonal Apples
We bet the memory of that smell comes so easily, too! Part of that smell is from those iconic Disney candy apples that can be made to celebrate holidays, resemble villains, and even look like Mickey! You might have even stopped and watched the Disney candy makers create these wonderful concoctions!
Sometimes it feels like California gets ALL the cool stuff! Remember when Disney California Adventure hosted the Oogie Boogie Bash for Halloween and unveiled all those amazing new characters? Or what about the classic debate on which park has the better version of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction: Disneyland or Disney World? (the correct answer is Disneyland, by the way😉 ) For those that are tired of letting Disneyland take all the credit for the coolest new offerings, you’re in luck!
Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney
There’s a super fun little ice cream restaurant in Downtown Disney called Salt & Straw. We’ve tried some crazy ice cream flavors here, but now we can try even MORE ice cream because Salt & Straw is coming to Disney Springs! Now, we’ve got an exciting update on the status of Salt & Straw that signals the opening date is coming soon!
