food IS a theme park
We’re spending this summer day trying to keep cool at Typhoon Lagoon. While we were there we had to share a discovery with you!

It’s time to step back into the Beast’s Castle…
…because we’re reviewing the brand new Dinner experience at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom!
Be Our Guest Restaurant has been ever-changing since it opened in late 2012. Upon opening, the highly in-demand restaurant changed the game by offering both Counter Service by day for lunch, and Table Service dining each evening. The current meal options include a Counter Service prix-fixe Breakfast and a Counter Service a la carte Lunch during the day. But by night? Well, that’s the most recent change-up in the Castle, which brings us to our visit.
Previously, the Table Service Dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant offered an a la carte menu for one Table Service Credit on the Disney Dining Plan. But as of July 27th, Dinner is a prix fixe, 3-course affair, requiring two Table Service credits (also known in Disney-speak as a Signature experience). It’s priced at $55 for adults and $35 for children ages 3 to 9. [Editor’s Update: the price of this meal changed in October 2018. The current price is $60 for adults and $36 for children ages 3 to 9.]

But before we dig in… let’s take a look around!
You can take a full tour of Be Our Guest Restaurant here. But because the chance to dine inside Beast’s Castle (from Beauty and the Beast, but of course!) is the major draw for this incredibly popular restaurant, it’s impossible to resist taking a look around this still-pretty-amazing space!

Hey, there! We’re back with another DFB Video today… and we’re Drinking Around the World!
Bubble Milk Tea
Drinking Around the World is something of an Epcot tradition. In case you’re not familiar, this popular pastime takes place when guests visit each country Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase and grab a drink. While many guests partake in the experience with their choice of alcoholic beverages, we’d also like to share some of our favorite non-alcoholic beverages for guests who choose not to imbibe but still want to experience lots of the flavorful and unique sips around World Showcase!

It’s time to visit Frontera Cocina once again!
Celebrity Chef Rick Bayless opened Frontera Cocina in the Town Center of Disney Springs just over two years ago. In addition to his restaurant ventures, Chef Bayless is also well known as the host of the PBS show “Mexico—One Plate at a Time.” And Frontera Cocina keeps the focus on authentic Mexican cuisine.
On this visit, we were able to try items from a new specialty menu: the Taste of Yucatan! Additionally, we were also able to sample new items recently added to the regular menu while we were guests at this Media Event.
