food IS a theme park
Hey! Wanna hear how you can get a discount on your next cuppa or bag of Joffrey’s coffee purchased from any Joffrey’s Location in Disney World?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been on the hunt for a good Cheese Danish.
And why is that? Well, because one of my favorite treats — the Biggest Cheese Danish You Ever Did See — may soon be losing its home, and I don’t know what’s going to become of it. You see, it’s located at one place, and one place only… the Writer’s Stop in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Trouble is, that location is closing to make way for construction of the new lands coming to the Studios: Toy Story and Star Wars. (While the spot may have a brief respite, we can’t believe it’s long for this “World” in its current state.)
While the other signature snack at Writer’s Stop — the Carrot Cake Cookie — is (and hopefully will remain) available at Sweet Spells, I know of no other home for the monster-sized Cheese (not to mention Apple and Cherry) Danish you can find there.
So, yeah… I’m on a hunt. And it’s led me to another park entirely: Magic Kingdom.
Welcome back to the Cheshire Cafe in Fantasyland.
Cheshire Cafe Sign
You remember Cheshire Cafe, right? It was a pretty low-key locale until the arrival of Gourmet Cake Cups — a heavenly cupcake-meets-parfait-meets-mountain-of-frosting that — for reasons we’ll never understand — is no longer served here. [Read more…]
Oh, could it be?!? Has the Writer’s Stop been given a second chance?!
If you follow Disney news, you’ll likely recall the announcement that the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show attraction will give its final performances on April 2nd in order to make way for construction of the future Toy Story and Star Wars Lands at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
It was subsequently announced that some of the eateries in the same Streets of America section of the park where the attraction is housed would be closing along with it as well. These include Studio Catering Co. and High Octane Refreshments as well as my much-beloved Writer’s Stop.
Home of the famous Carrot Cake Cookie, I also loved Writer’s Stop as an often quiet respite from a busy park. So, though it wasn’t exactly a surprise when its closure was announced, I — like many other like-minded fans — was saddened by the thought.

But it’s possible that there is some VERY good news! According to the folks at wdwmagic.com, Writer’s Stop may remain open for “a limited time” beyond April 2nd! [Read more…]
So, what’s #OnTheList this week? Why, it’s a breakfast item that is worth waking up early for every single time…
… because nothing says “Good morning!” quite like a plate full of MICKEY WAFFLES!!
Welcome back — yes, ALREADY! — to Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory!
Yes, I know… we were JUST at this Counter Service spot in Port Orleans French Quarter to check out some of their New Orleans-inspired eats for lunch (and, of course, some Beignets; ‘cuz you GOTTA if you’re at Port Orleans).
So, why are we back so soon? Well, because even though the Beignets remain the signature snack around here, I couldn’t help checking out the other goods in the ol’ bakery case. You know, the basics like cupcakes (the icing is purple, green, and gold for Mardi Gras here, you know), cookies, Krispy Treats, cakes, and the like.
But I also spotted a newer snack that stood out among the others…

Why? Well, because 1) It was a brownie, and 2) It was shaped like Mickey Mouse! [Read more…]
Happy Sunday and Happy Easter! We hope you’re enjoying a day filled with friends and family (and maybe a chocolate bunny or two!). Now it’s time to sit back, relax, and catch up on the latest Disney food news!
Grand Floridian Easter Eggs
We recently had a chance to stop by Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to check out the stunning Chocolate Easter Egg display. The Grand Floridian bakery team designs these incredible (and edible) chocolate eggs — and this is the fifth year they’ve been put on display for guests.
The eggs are on display through April 4.
We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…
Will you be heading to Walt Disney World to celebrate the beginning of the 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival? Then you’ll be excited to hear about this special deal!
Swan and Dolphin Causeway
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort has announced special savings for guests who book rooms from August 22 to September 30. That’s perfect timing for a Labor Day Weekend getaway, or to kick off the Food and Wine Festival, which begins September 14! [Read more…]
It’s time once again to celebrate a GRAND tradition… the Fifth Annual Easter Egg Display at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort!

And it’s become something of a tradition for us here at the DFB to share them with you in case your spring break plans don’t include a visit to Disney World this year. (If they DO, you’ll want to note that the Eggs are on display through April 4th.) [Read more…]
Today, we head to the west coast for a guest review of Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel. Let’s take a tour — courtesy of guest author, Liz Jostes.
For our family’s first trip to Disneyland, I booked breakfast at Goofy’s Kitchen. Since we were staying at the Disneyland Hotel and our flight home wasn’t until the afternoon, it was a perfect and convenient stop on our final morning on property.
Goofy’s Kitchen is located next to the pool area in the Disneyland Hotel, and a short, easy walk from the Downtown Disney District (for those not staying at the Disneyland Hotel).
As you walk through the doors of Goofy’s Kitchen, you enter into a lobby and wait for your turn to check-in and pay for your meal (gratuity is automatically included). Then you are welcome to meet Goofy while waiting for your table. [Read more…]
