is located at the Grand Floridian Resort just a Monorail ride away from Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Polynesian Village Resort. (And soon — possibly via walkway from Magic Kingdom!)
This Victorian-inspired restaurant serves table service eats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with identical breakfast and lunch menus resulting in some truly epic brunch bites. We’re talking a Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle, an Eggs Benedict Flight, and more. Click here to see why brunch is brilliant at Grand Floridian Cafe!
But on this visit, we’re grabbing dinner. The dinner menu here is a separate entity from breakfast and lunch, but some popular ‘brunch’ items do appear at dinner, too! The Lobster ‘Thermidor’ Burger is available all day (see that review here!), as is the Miso-Glazed Salmon (reviewed below!). The Artisan-Made Spinach-Ricotta Ravioli is a favorite that’s good to go for three meals a day (more on that below, too!), and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken makes a reprise at dinner (but without the waffle).
The point is: Grand Floridian Cafe’s got your tastebuds’ backs all day long! 😉 So let’s see how dinner stacks up and whether Grand Floridian Cafe is good for more than just a fabulous brunch.

The atmosphere of Grand Floridian Cafe echos the Victorian tones of the entire Resort. [Read more…]

In Epcot’s Italy Pavilion at Walt Disney World, guests have a few dining options.
Via Napoli, located at the rear of the pavilion, is the most well-known — and rightly so. Via Napoli tosses fantastic pizzas using ingredients that come very close to what’s used in Naples, making it one of our favorite places to get pizza in all the World (find out why here!).
Tutto Italia is a lovely Italian restaurant on the left side of the pavilion as you enter. Here diners twirl pasta and enjoy Italian specialties.
And there are two snack stands from which to purchase frozen treats, too: the Gelato Stand and the Donkey Cart. (The Donkey Cart is a particular favorite because of its fun design and (most recently) wine pops!)
But the last option might be the biggest hidden gem of the pavilion: Tutto Gusto. It’s here that diners enter an Italian wine cellar, dine on small plates, and just generally escape the chaos of Epcot’s World Showcase.
Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar
There’s a reason we say Tutto Gusto is a hidden gem. [Read more…]
Crunchy, sweet, and creamy? Yeah, it’s National Crème Brûlée Day, everybody!!
Terralina Crafted Italian
Obviously, taking a bite of this dessert is the best way to celebrate the holiday… But, you can also use this delicious deal for discounted desserts in Disney Springs for the entire day today! Sounds like a sweet surprise, right?
Since the announcement that Disney Springs’ West Side would be getting a City Works Eatery & Pour House, we’ve been eagerly awaiting more information about the franchise’s American-style eats and dozens of craft beers. (Click here for the original announcement!)
City Works construction
City Works currently operates seven locations throughout the country, and many of the chain’s signature menu items are replicated in multiple locations. So we visited one such locale to sample some of the eats that might be coming to the Disney Springs location. Note that the menu has not been announced for Disney Springs at press time, but since so many of the menus around the country feature the same items, we’re guessing some of them will come to Disney World as well!
You know that game “what celebrities would you invite to dinner?” Get your forks and knives ready, because now it’s actually happening!
Terralina Crafted Italian
Sound too good to be true? There’s even better news. You can have an entire 4-course meal complete with Italian wine pairings while you get to chat with a celebrity chef!

never fails to remind us: “Anyone can cook!”

You may seem suspicious, buuut your kids can learn to cook, too! And, no, they don’t need Remy underneath their chef hats doing the work for them. All they need to do is take this class in Disney Springs, and maybe they’ll be making you dinner. [Read more…]
