food IS a theme park
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
Thank goodness for social media, because that means we can check in on all of the NBA players to see what they’ve been up to at the Most Magical Place on Earth! Let’s recap what has been going on inside the NBA “bubble” at Disney World this week.
Pre-shows on Disney rides contain great Easter Eggs, especially when it comes to celebrity cameos. Some famous ones over the years have included Aerosmith on Rock N Roller Coaster, Patrick Warburton on Soarin’, Gary Sinise on Mission: SPACE, and Alison Janey (well, her voice at least!) on Star Tours. And, of course, we can see a number of cast members from the newest Star Wars trilogy on Rise of the Resistance.

But there are some other beloved attraction actors that you may have forgotten about! Let’s peel the curtain back JUST a bit and share who these memorable Disney World icons are!

This beauty can be found at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort over at Capt. Cook’s as well as Kona Cafe. It easily tops our list as something you MUST try when you visit the Polynesian — and arguably something everyone should try in all of Disney World!
Last week, we shared the news that Disney World’s 2020 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend would be a virtual event.

Disney World desserts are a thing of beauty. There are not a lot of things we can think of that warm our hearts the way that a tasty sweet treat at the parks does. And with all of the desserts we’ve tried over the years, there are a few snacks we keep coming back to time and time again. One of our favorites? Pies. Specifically: TINY PIES.
Yak and Yeti Local Foods Cafe Desserts
These bite-sized circles of pure joy can be found throughout the theme parks if you really go looking for them, but we’re always wishing Disney could add MORE to their menus! So enjoy this ode to the beloved tiny pie, and why we hope Disney considers bringing more of them to the parks and resorts. Buckle in guys, we’re going on a TINY PIE adventure!
We’re coming at you with another Disney recipe today! Satu’li Canteen is one of our favorite counter service locations in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Located in Pandora, this dining hot spot is home to those awesome rice bowls and crazy otherworldly desserts. Another popular item are those cute little cheeseburger pods!
Cheeseburger Pods
If you’ve never had these little pockets of deliciousness, they’re basically a steamed bun loaded with all the flavors of a cheeseburger. Sounds strange, tastes AWESOME. It’s one of our favorite foods in all of Animal Kingdom (AND it just reappeared on the menu as an option for adults after only being a kids’ option for a while!). Turns out you can make these yummy snacks at home. (We promise. If we can do it SO CAN YOU!) Follow our recipe below and you’ll be whipping them up in your kitchen in no time!
Best day ever!
