food IS a theme park
When it comes to dining, it’s no secret that Walt Disney World has a lot of options.
Chicken anyone?
Spread across the property’s 4 theme parks, 20+ hotels, and the Disney Springs district, there are all kinds of eateries.
It’s no secret that a Disney World vacation can be very, very expensive. However, believe it or not, one of our favorite Disney World activities is often overlooked, some of the most fun you can have on property, and is completely FREE!
Skyliner
Yes, you read that right, FREE! No cost, no ticket, no entry, and you get to visit some of the best themed environments at the resort! Said activity: GO RESORT HOPPING.
You might be familiar with the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, but do you know about Disney World’s OTHER food and wine festival that doesn’t even require a park ticket?
It’s the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic held at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. For this festival, you buy a ticket and that gets you unlimited access to all the food booths at the festival, meaning ALL the food you can eat and drink. Well, we’ve tried everything and we’re giving you our opinion on the BEST things to try at the festival.
Let’s just say we know food in Disney World, it’s why we’re here — to tell you about ALL the food in Disney World.
We love some appetizers
We also have certain foods that we will ALWAYS return to (just call it our comfort food), which includes savory dishes like Corn Dog Nuggets (we refuse to use Disney’s new “mini corn dogs” name because it’s BORING). We also love our snacks, including the many seasonal snacks Disney releases throughout the year (and some, like the Gingerbread Salted Caramel Cookie Sandwich should be available year-round…ahem.). But now we’re going to talk about appetizers. Now we LOVE a good appetizer, but we’re going to share the BEST appetizers, according to the DFB team.
We always love taking a stroll around Disney Springs!
We love a Disney Springs day!
This center for shopping and dining in Disney World is full of fantastic shops, delicious restaurants, and exciting entertainment. There is no shortage of things to do in Disney Springs (and you don’t even need a park ticket to enter!), but today I want to talk about a particular store that is wonderful but often OVERLOOKED.

As you plan for your 2025 vacation to Walt Disney World, it’s time to start thinking about where you want to eat while enjoying your time in the parks.
YUM
While it’s okay to be spontaneous and grab the nearest grub, knowing the best Quick Service Restaurants can help you to choose wisely. Not all Disney World restaurants are created equally!
You just had the best morning walking down Main Street, U.S.A., riding through the Haunted Mansion, and sailing through the Pirates of the Caribbean. But now your tummy is rumbling, and you need to get something quick to eat. Have no fear! We are here with what you need to get at every quick service restaurant in Magic Kingdom.
A great pairing, Magic Kingdom and Food!
There is no shortage of food in Magic Kingdom, but that also means you have to decide what to get! We want to help you make sure you get the best food Disney has to offer, so we have compiled a list of our recommendations for the food you need to try. We have tried it all and we believe every meal should be great. So, let’s get going and dig into some quick service food at Magic Kingdom!
As much as we love classic Disney World eats (like pineapple DOLE Whip!), we also love trying new things!
Classic DOLE Whip
July was a BUSY month in Disney World, from the return of Flavors of Florida and the 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival to new July flavors and some interesting menu additions. There were some BIG hits and some eats that missed the mark, so let’s go over the BEST and the WORST of July!
Can y’all believe that October is almost over? It’s like Halloween has come and gone so quickly this year!
Magic Kingdom
It’s been a month of eating a lot of snacks (including LOADS of Halloween snacks) and drinking a lot of beverages, but we’ve put together a list of our faves (and not-so-faves) from October 2020! If you’re headed to Disney World soon, use this as your must-get (and maybe skip) list!
Disney World is always full of fun surprises, and part of the fun is when something unexpected pops up!
Haunted Mansion
And we just found the most fun and BEST refurbishment sign we’ve ever seen in the parks!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
