food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing a LOT these days. Magic Kingdom is getting a major park expansion, Hollywood Studios is adding two new lands, and Animal Kingdom is saying goodbye to DinoLand.
Harambe Market!
Animal Kingdom’s land closure means we’re saying goodbye to Dr. Seeker and our beloved Iguanadon. It also means we’re saying goodbye to Restaurantosaurus, but luckily, another quick service is reopening early to take its place!
A lot of really exciting things are happening in Disney World right now. Magic Kingdom is getting a new land AND a Frontierland expansion. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting a reimagined area and a new land. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a new land, and Disney has made a lot of progress on bringing that new land, Pueblo Esperanza, to life.

The new land takes inspiration from the Tropical Americas and will feature the first ever Encanto ride, as well as a brand new Indiana Jones ride, among other things. There will also be a playground. Well, thanks to a permit Disney recently filed, we now know the layout of Pueblo Esperanza, as well as some new details about the new playground.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! When it comes to a full day in Disney World, starting your day off right with tasty fuel is SO important. While you may opt to have breakfast at your hotel before leaving, you can also find some tasty options for breakfast in the parks.
Let’s have breakfast in Animal Kingdom!
We recently stopped by Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for breakfast, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
Dads, your Disney trip deserves better than winging it.
Mando and Grogu in Disney World
Every Disney trip has that one guy carrying the backpack, wrangling the stroller, and somehow producing sunscreen, snacks, and a phone charger out of thin air. If that’s you (or it’s about to be), this full list is your new best friend. Here’s everything a Disney Dad needs for a 2026 trip, so you can be the hero of the park day without the stress.
What’s a trip to the Disney World theme parks without grabbing a snack? While we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning, we made a stop by Tamu Tamu Refreshments to grab a Pistachio Croissant.
Pistachio Croissant
This treat piqued our interest, as it replaced the Pistachio Honey Croissant that was previously available here. Now, a Pistachio Croissant and a Pistachio Honey Croissant sound pretty similar, but we will never say no to a chance for a Disney treat! Did this treat just get a name change, or did it also get some changes?
Have you heard? Today is National Plan for Vacation Day! We were thinking that there’s no better day to start planning our Disney vacations for 2026 than today. You know, so we can really celebrate the day!
Magic Kingdom
There’s a lot that goes into planning a Disney vacation — costs, where to stay, how to get around the property, what parks to go to, which dates to avoid, and so much more. Here at DFB, we want to help plan the best Disney trip imaginable, so let’s get right into it!
Disney shared a look at the NEW menu coming to Harambe Market in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! This Quick Service dining location closed on October 20th, 2025, for refurbishment and was scheduled to officially reopen on February 5th, but it soft-opened early, and we already got to visit — you can read our review here!
Harambe Market
Prior to closing, Harambe Market’s menu offered a variety of rice bowls, pitas, Caesar salads, and other snacks and beverages. But now, things are a little different.
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.
Now that we’re into the second week of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, things are a little quiet in Disney World, at least on the food front. However, that’s not to say that we haven’t enjoyed some new food (and old favorites) this week anyway. When we’re in Disney World, we are GOING to eat, y’all.
Mickey Espresso Cupcake
So we visited Disney Springs to check out a new s’mores-inspired cake, tried some donut holes on skewers, grabbed some new treats in Magic Kingdom, and checked out a new menu at a Disney World hotel restaurant. That’s not all, though. We also noticed some changes happening at Disney World restaurants…so let’s see what menus are different this week!
Here at Disney Food Blog, there’s only one thing we love more than Disney food – Disney drinks! Grabbing an iced refresher on a hot day is our favorite guilty pleasure. And since there’s a Starbucks in all four parks and Disney Springs, they keep our caffeine addiction going from rope drop to fireworks.
Caramel Protein Latte
A lot of people don’t know that the Disney Starbucks has the same customizable menu as the Starbucks in your neighborhood. Plus, Disney Parks’ Starbucks often keeps seasonal flavors like pumpkin or caramel brûlée in stock when your local Starbucks runs out (they still had pumpkin spice lattes on New Year’s Day). The sky’s the limit!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
