food IS a theme park
We hope you’re enjoying all that’s new at Walt Disney World this week! We’ve already visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs this week, and now we’re journeying to Epcot! So come along as we explore what’s new in food, merchandise, construction, and… vikings?
Welcome to Epcot!
Okay, so Magic Kingdom already has another new Starbucks You Are Here Mug at Main Street Bakery. And even though you may be thinking, “Wait. Wasn’t there a Fantasyland-themed mug that came out, like, just last October?” Well, you’d be correct. But just wait until you see the new one!
Magic Kingdom You Are Here Tomorrowland Mug
YES!! It’s TOMORROWLAND! All day, every day!! From the Carousel of Progress icon… [Read more…]
Do you remember when Disney-themed “Share a Coke” bottles made their debut at the parks? These super fun bottles suddenly arrived at outdoor vending locations, inviting guests to “Share a Coke on Main Street” or “Share a Coke at the Castle.”
Main Street and Castle Coke Bottles
Well, Coca-Cola fans, you’ll want to keep an eye out for brand new bottles in both Magic Kingdom in Disney World AND in Disneyland Park! And this time?
They’re based on favorite attractions and Lands!
There’s always something new happening in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs, and this week is no exception! We’ve got menu changes, new merchandise, construction updates, and extras! Join us to see What’s New!

Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and if you’re in the mood for some STEAK then you’ll definitely want to check it out!
STK Orlando
That’s right! Today we’re taking on the Disney World steakhouses! Or, perhaps I should say they’re taking each other on in our Disney World Steakhouse Battle! We’re discussing Epcot’s Le Cellier, Yachtsman Steakhouse, Shula’s, and STK Orlando… and we’re listing pros and cons of each location to help you choose which location might be best for you during your Disney World vacation!

We often hear from readers who want to know if DFB’s favorites of yore have still got IT.
You know what we mean: do they still have the mojo that keeps guests coming back year after year. For some restaurants at Walt Disney World, it’s killer food and a seasonal, ever-changing menu that draws in a crowd. For others, it’s an atmosphere that can’t be beat — like ‘Ohana‘s warm family feel or Sanaa‘s animal friends right outside the window.
For Beaches & Cream, it’s a sense of nostalgia paired with comforting eats that have been consistently good since the soda shop opened its doors almost thirty years ago. (Let’s just table that thirty years ago bit because there’s no way we’re that old…)
Beaches & Cream is tucked in between the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts on an outdoor walkway adjacent to Stormalong Bay — the fabulous pool shared by the resorts. That means Beaches and Cream is in the Epcot Resort Area (and just a stone’s throw from the International Gateway that serves as an entrance to Epcot’s World Showcase). This convenient location means that even guests not staying at the Resorts will make the short trip to this casual table service location for a bite to eat.
But you (and I!) wanted to know: does Beaches & Cream still have IT?
Beaches and Cream
You love your mom, and she loves Walt Disney World. So why not treat her to a delicious Mother’s Day Brunch at Walt Disney World? There are several locations to take Mom on her special day — just make an Advance Dining Reservation and prepare to be Mom’s new favorite!
Cinderella Castle
Happy Thursday! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re sharing the best attractions with low-to-no waits in Disney World’s Epcot!
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
Perhaps you’ve already chosen how you’d like to use your three allotted FastPasses in Epcot as you plan your next Disney World visit. But there are several attractions outside of the major headliners like Soarin’ Around the World, Frozen Ever After, and Test Track. Of course, when you’re in Epcot, you can definitely spend a lot of time outside of attractions EATING in this food lover’s theme park, but you might even want to fit a few more rides in while you’re at it 😉 . And we’re going to help you do exactly that in our latest DFB YouTube Video! [Read more…]
Teppan Edo… it’s been a while, my friend!
Too long, I might say. I tend to not visit Teppan Edo in the Japan Pavilion as often as other spots around Epcot’s World Showcase — not because I haven’t enjoyed it in the past (because I have). This is due to the fact that as Epcot’s resident hibachi grill, the menu and experience doesn’t tend to change very much. So from a reviewer’s perspective, there isn’t a hugely revised menu or anything to keep readers posted on.
But from a Disney fan perspective (and Epcot fan. And Japan Pavilion fan. And FOOD fan!), I was rather keen on making a new Advance Dining Reservation here. And when @DininginDisney and her family happened to be going, I was excited to tag along!
So, let’s see how this recent visit went!
Guest Check In for Teppan Edo and Tokyo Dining
Check-in for Teppan Edo is located just outside the steps leading up to the restaurant.
You’re traveling the World Showcase at Walt Disney World’s Epcot, and you need some Tiramisu. Trust us, we know the feeling. 😉 Head on over to the Italy Pavilion, and pony up to the Via Napoli Donkey Cart.
