food IS a theme park
If you haven’t been to Disney’s Animal Kingdom lately, you might be missing out!
Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
A structural nightmare of a cupcake, a $100 stuffed animal, and a whole lot more are new this week in Animal Kingdom — so let’s take a look!
February is Black History Month, and Disney World is celebrating throughout the park.
Soul Art Displays from 2021 Celebrate Soulfully
Celebrate Soulfully has returned this year and features unique entertainment and merchandise in Disney Springs, special movie viewings, special treats, and other food offerings.
Chicken tenders, fries, hamburgers, and churros — that’s what ALL Disney World meals are made of right? WRONG.
Gorgeous
There are a number of unique eats you can find all over Disney World — from spicy beignets to phenomenal seafood. The Most Magical Place on Earth is also a magical place for food, and if you search for it, you just might find some really fantastic eats that’ll take you far away from the land of theme park “standards.” For example, ever thought you’d have Jollof Rice or Braised Beef stew in a theme park? No? Well you can right now, and here’s where to find it!
Flying on the backs of banshees, being traumatized by ceiling spiders, and applauding for colorful crashing kites – Disney’s Animal Kingdom isn’t just any ol’ theme park.
Tree of Life
It’s an experience that beckons your adventurer’s spirit and throws you in the midst of a world filled with creatures, both real and fantastical.
January was busier than expected in Disney World, and February is going to FILLED with new and exciting things!
Spaceship Earth
We’re going to be able to catch a new cavalcade, a new stage show, returning restaurants, and lots more, so let’s get into it!
If there’s ONE thing we know that Disney fans love to know about — it’s when a new pair of Minnie ears drops in the parks!
There are so many ears to choose from!
It’s one souvenir that tends to FLY off the shelves (especially if it’s a popular design) and today we got a remake of an old design that we think is going to be very popular! And let us just say that they’re STUNNING in person.
Walt Disney World has been celebrating its 50th anniversary is spectacular fashion, with a full castle makeover, a ton of new food, and new entertainment.
Happy birthday Disney World!
One of our favorite things that’s been added for the celebrations are the golden 50th character statues across all 4 parks. And, Disney has made it possible for you to take these statues home with you (kind of)! We’ve seen ornament sets of the statues and mini figures available in mystery sets, but now, there are even bigger versions of the statues available!
Disney loves to go all out with special new treats for holidays.
Be mine, Valentine!
With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, red and pink treats are arriving all over Disney Parks, and naturally we ✨have✨ to try all of them. And you know what we found today? Let’s just say it involves fluffy beignets and a LOT of cinnamon.
If you’ve been reading Disney Food Blog for a while, you probably know that we love Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Nomad Lounge
This lounge spot is perfect for a quick bite or a nice refreshing drink when you want a break from the crowds! On a recent trip to Animal Kingdom, we stopped by Nomad Lounge for lunch and found a returning special we hadn’t seen in a while, so we decided to try it out!
Have you ever been walking around Animal Kingdom and thought “I wish I had a comfy seat in the AC and a nice cocktail right about now?” If you have, you gotta head over to Nomad Lounge!
Nomad Lounge bar
Nomad Lounge is connected to Tiffins on Discovery Island (right before you walk down toward Pandora) and is a first come, first served bar and lounge. The inside has large lounge chairs and a big bar and the outside has a really nice deck in the shade where you can feel like you’re in an oasis. This is one of our favorite spots to chill, have a drink, and some snacks! They have some of the best churros in Disney, delicious drinks, and some fun limited time menu offerings. And, today is a good day, because there’s a NEW dessert over at Nomad Lounge, so come with us to check it out!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
