food IS a theme park
It’s almost summer, y’all!
Barefoot Pool Bar at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
That means time to hit the water parks, eat ice cream, and indulge in frozen drinks all over Disney World. And we’re on it!
Can you believe it? It’s almost time for the grand opening of Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus!
Look at all those drinks!
And as huge Marvel nerds, we are GEEKING OUT. There’s so much new stuff to look forward to — new food, new merchandise, new attractions, and more. But there are also some brand new DRINKS, and you know we’re all about that.
The past few weeks have been busy ones for Disneyland. Not only did the resort officially reopen, but Disney also let us know when Avengers Campus will open AND told us all about a planned expansion of the parks!

We also saw the reopening of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel Resort & Spa, and as of today, we also know when Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will reopen! That reopening date will happen on June 15th with limited capacity. However, something BIG will be missing from the hotel after it reopens.
The calendar might not say it’s summer yet, but the heat has us saying that spring is certainly over.
The Coca Cola Store is so cool
And Disney World certainly agrees with us because we’re already seeing summer merchandise making an appearance, and we’ve already tried some great summertime drinks, including a Cherry Blossom drink, a super neon drink, and a boozy Kakamora float.
It seems like spring is rushing by us and we’re already getting ready for summer, and that’s certainly the case at Disney World!
Marketplace Snacks
We’re already seeing summer flavors turning up including Dole Whip Margaritas (YES, we’re serious!) Bee Covered Cupcakes, and Key Lime Pie Cake! Bring on those vacation vibes!!!
So when we’re at Disney’s Riviera Resort, we’re mostly just there to drool over all the pretty goodies in the bakery case at Le Petit Cafe.
One of each, please…
And we’ve tried a lot of things IN that case, including some wonderful holiday treats, hazelnut-caramel profiteroles, and some pretty stunning chocolate creations! But did you know that Le Petit Cafe has some really good coffee drinks, too? We mean — it makes sense, pastries and coffee go perfectly together!
We are at EPCOT and doing ALL the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival things!
Flowers!
That means we’re checking out the entertainment, as well as checking out the pretty gardens and topiaries. But mostly — because you know us — we’re digging into all the food! [Read more…]
We’ll admit it — sometimes we forget about certain dining and beverage locations at Disney World, especially if they haven’t been open for a while.
Cool Wash
That’s especially true now that so many places have reopened recently, including Epic Eats and KRNR The Rock Station at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Harambe Market at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
The winter months are upon us! It’s Olaf’s time to shine!

We’ve found four frozen beverage recipes from Summertime Freeze at Disney’s Castaway Cay (the private island for Disney Cruise Line guests) for you to fulfill your fantasies of summer during these chilly months.
One thing we love about Disney World is that it’s always full of surprises, especially when it comes to food and drinks!
Mimosa from Hollywood Scoops
We’ve had cupcakes that have surprised us, along with nachos, cookies, and drinks! But today’s big surprise was heading to one of our favorite ice cream shops at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and NOT getting ice cream, but ordering up morning cocktails instead! Say what?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
