food IS a theme park
There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it, planning a trip to Walt Disney World is a little bit confusing right now.
Magic Kingdom
There are a LOT of changes, from what rides are open and how they’re operating to how many people are in the park.
We’ve enjoyed our fair share of brunchy delights at Homecomin’s Rise & Shine brunch and Raglan Road’s rollicking weekend brunch (complete with Irish dancers and some pretty bangin’ pork hash!).
House of Blues
But now we’re getting ready to kick up our heels at House of Blues Restaurant & Bar in Disney Springs ’cause they’ll be offering a brand new brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays soon, and we’ve got ALL the delicious deets!
We’re back at Downtown Disney!
Disney California Adventure Park
It was cloudy skies yesterday as we headed through the esplanade to see what updates we could find at Disneyland Resort’s shopping and entertainment district! Let us fill you in with our FULL report of the latest happenings!
Disney Springs began its phased reopening on May 20th.
Disney Springs
At first, only a few third-party restaurants and shops reopened, but in the following weeks several other businesses including Disney-owned locations began welcoming back guests. Earlier this week, we reported The Edison, Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, and Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar and Restaurant would be reopening for the first time today since they shut down last March.

Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen
Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen (as well its quick service location, “Jazz Kitchen Express”) have just reopened at Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort!

Now that we’re back in Disney World, you know that means we’re basically required to eat our way through the parks (for research, of course)!
Animal Kingdom
And over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, after we practically WALKED on Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest with the low wait times we’ve seen, we headed back to Tiffins for a lunch date!
As Walt Disney World Resort continues its phased reopening, we’ve got some reopening news to report for the Disney Springs dining scene.
The Edison Complex in Disney Springs
Three Disney Springs restaurants that make up The Edison Complex in The Landing of Disney Springs will welcome guests once again starting Thursday, August 13th: The Edison, Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, and Enzo’s Hideaway! [Read more…]
UPDATED 8-16-20
Many guests, including us, have been back in Disney World to dine at our favorite restaurants again (how we’ve missed Homecomin‘s Cheddar Drop Biscuits).
Shine Bar and Social
And dining locations around the parks and resorts have been following strict health and safety regulations with Mobile Dining Check-in, distanced seating, limited menus, and more. Still, some guests have had affected Advance Dining Reservations now that Disney World’s park hours have been shortened beginning September 8th. We’ve got the scoop on how Disney will handle this.
8-7-20 UPDATE: A previous title of this article implied that the Executive Chef made comments on the restaurants’ future. We have since reached out to Executive Director Eric Weistroffer for official comment and have updated this article accordingly.
Right now, you can grab a delicious croissant in the France pavilion in EPCOT at Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie.

But the two table service restaurants in the France pavilion, Chefs de France and Monsieur Paul, remain closed.
