food IS a theme park
It’s time to change out that 2018 calendar for a 2019, and we hope you’ve all got big Disney Parks (and Disney dining!!) plans for the coming year! Us? We’re resolving to eat more cupcakes (why not?!), drink more funky milkshakes, and bring you every tasty bit of news we can from the Disney Parks! But if you’re struggling with your New Year’s resolutions, may we suggest Disney resolutions?
We resolve to see more of this!
Happy New Year from Disney Food Blog!
We’ve wrapped up another year of bringing you all of the Disney Food News as it happens all around the world! And, we can’t wait to see what 2019 brings!

One of the things we’re looking forward to in 2019 is the opening of Ballast Point in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District. And we’re one step closer to the opening now that signs for Ballast Point are up!

You CAN eat Keto at Disney World!
It’s time to visit the newly refurbished Naples Ristorante in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney. This popular table service restaurant is run by Patina Group, the same folks who run Via Napoli in Walt Disney World. And you know how we feel about that!

Happy Weekend! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re sharing some unexpected eats that you can find in Disney World!
Whole Fried Sustainable Fish at Tiffins
Sure, you likely expect burgers and fries, ice cream, pizza, and maybe even Dole Whip when you consider food in Disney World. But did you know you can also find items like Bone Marrow, Elk Loin, Whole Fried Fish, and even $120 glacial water in Disney World? You may be really surprised at some of the offerings available, and we’re talking about some of the most unexpected of them all in our latest DFB YouTube Video!

might just be one of Walt Disney World‘s best-kept dining secrets. Located within Port Orleans Riverside, it’s a great spot to seek out if you’re looking for a quiet table service dinner outside of the parks.
Boatwright’s Dining Hall
Boatwright’s has had a few menu updates since our last visit and most recent guest review (hello, All-You-Care-to-Enjoy Chef’s Platter!), so we were excited to get back to Port Orleans Riverside to check it out.
It should come as no surprise to you that the DFB team loves photography. We take thousands of photos every year, and we honestly relish every one. So generating a list of the DFB’s Most Wow-Worthy Pictures This Year was an impossible task. But we buckled down and found a few we wanted to share with you once more!
We had a blast celebrating Mickey’s 90th birthday in November
, and you know that all those specialty eats had us pretty excited. But when we saw the size of the Giant Mickey Birthday Krispy we knew it needed lots of photographic love. We like how this picture captures the breadth of this huge krispy treat — not an easy feat in a World of oversized, fantastical things!

Plus there’s lovely sunlight bouncing off that smooth chocolate. Love!
It’s no small thing turning the calendar from one year to the next, and with 2019 arriving at warp speed, we got to thinking about all the awesome eats from 2018 that we’d want to munch on as we ring in the new year.
Nothing says Walt Disney World quite as much as dining with fairy tale characters, and the brand new Storybook Dining experience in Artist Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort is one such dreamy meal.
Happy New Year, Snow White!
