food IS a theme park
What a week! The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival kicked off, and y’all, we ate SO much food and drank so many drinks. If you happened to miss all that, be sure to read our reviews for every single food booth at the festival.

In the meantime, we were also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus to look for changes, and we spotted a few! So let’s talk about how Disney World restaurants changed this week.
If you can only go to ONE Disney World restaurant in 2026…here’s the cheat code.
Breakfast at Boma
Some Disney meals are good…and then there are the ones that become core memories. Disney World has no shortage of great restaurants with exceptional eats, but ff you could only choose one restaurant to experience in 2026, there are a few that instantly come to mind capable of delivering unforgettable flavors, immersive theming, and that “wow” feeling that makes Disney dining so special.
Disney World has no shortage of iconic restaurants, but some seriously solid steaks keep flying under the radar.
Have a bite!
Between chasing reservations, planning park days, and trying to remember where you ate on your last trip, it’s easy to forget about some truly great meals. Disney World actually has several steak options that don’t get nearly enough love, and a few aren’t even traditional steakhouses. Let’s talk about nine spots you should absolutely consider adding back onto your list.
Okay, so we witnessed some changes this week in Disney World.
Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffle at The Cake Bake Shop
One of those changes was the opening of The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers (and y’all, we visited it SEVERAL times — you know — for science). We also ate a giant mozzarella stick for science because, well, cheese. Plus there were loaded fries (yes, our job is SO HARD LOL). However, the BIGGEST change we saw this week was with Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s get into those updates. We hope you’re sitting down for this.
We’ve been having a great week here at DFB, especially with all the details we just got about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (it’s never too early to get excited about Halloween, y’all).
Spread from B.B. Wolfe’s
However, we also spent some time eating a ton of hot dogs in Disney Springs (it’s for science, we swear!), figuring out how to get a Mango Pie with no wait, and revisiting Kona Cafe. We’ve also been keeping an eye on menus at Disney World restaurants, and BOY, they have changed this week.
Well, it has certainly been a busy Disney World week.
Melty the Snowman
For starters, we learned that one of our favorite quick service spots in Disney Springs has changed (and we’re still shocked). But, hey, we did get to eat THREE holiday donuts and drink some Monorail-themed coffee. We also noticed some changes on some Disney World restaurant menus we need to tell you about.
Summertime has arrived in Disney World!
Strawberry Butter Bar from Karamel Kuche in EPCOT
Minnie’s Summertime Dine started at Hollywood & Vine this week in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. New menu items are set to arrive at Disney World restaurants soon to usher in the seasonal change. There’s even a new summer Disney World ticket deal available for booking. We’re also seeing some changes on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s look at what’s happening.
ANCHORS AWAY…. We’re setting sail towards Disney’s Yacht Club Resort located in the EPCOT resort area of Walt Disney World.
Yacht Club
If you love waterside adventure and want a deluxe hotel, then Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is the right pick for you! We love the nautical decor throughout the resort. Step inside the lobby and you’ll see the quiet elegance of a New England sailing club.
It’s the end of the week, AND the end of a year, and a LOT has happened with Disney World restaurants.
Vintage Mickey Sugar Cookie
New spots have opened, some have closed, others have had their share of menu changes. But let’s take a look at this week — what Disney World restaurant menu changes have we spotted? Let’s find out!
Well, December was quite a month in Disney World. We ate SO MANY holiday snacks that our tongues will be red and green for at least another month.
‘Olu Mel Dole Whip Float
We also got news on some NEW restaurants, including The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Carousel Coffee (which has officially opened!). There were also some changes to menus at Disney World restaurants, so here are ALL of them for the month!
