REVIEW: The $8.49 Lunch You’re Definitely Overlooking at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

By 2 Comments

Disney’s Hollywood Studios isn’t really known for having the best dining options out there, but we’re here to assure you that if you know where to look, you’ll find some gems!

One of the most popular quick service spots in the park is Backlot Express, located right near the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. It has plenty of seating with a lot of it indoors out of the sun, and while the menu is pretty generic, serving up classic theme park eats that will appease pretty much everyone in your party, there’s one option here that really blows our mind AND it’s a KIDS meal!

By Leave a Comment

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.

With hundreds of snacks in Disney World, how do you CHOOSE?

Magic Kingdom

We’ve spent years asking this question, and we’ve tried thousands of treats during our 15 years of curating Disney Food Blog. Over the course of all that snacking, some offerings stand out more than others, and some are simply irresistible! So when we heard that Disney World was introducing several new types of loaded french fries, we knew we had to check them out.

7 Quick Service Restaurants that Offer Unlimited Soda Refills in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

To anyone who can make it through an entire Disney World day without copious amounts of caffeine, I applaud you. You and I are not the same, but I have an incredible amount of respect and awe for your naturally high energy levels. Now, to anyone who literally cannot go two hours in the parks without coffee or Diet Coke, let’s talk.

Diet Coke

Disney magic is REAL and it’s AWESOME but it’s NOT gonna be enough to power me through my busy day of riding roller coasters, walking 10+ miles, and watching the fireworks with a DOLE Whip in hand. So I need caffeine, and LOTS of it. When I need my Diet Coke fix and know that I’ll want more than just one cup, I know exactly where I need to go to find unlimited refills in the parks!
