food IS a theme park
We’re back at Hollywood Studios in Disney World!
Hollywood Scoops and Tower of Terror
We found loads of new souvenirs ranging from Toy Story to The Mandalorian. Check out everything we discovered in the glitziest Disney theme park!
Hello, friends! We spent the day at Disney World, reporting in on new Donut Minnie Ears (!) new drinks, and a water leak at the Polynesian Resort!
Rainy day
It’s been a busy and rainy day, but that doesn’t stop us from just taking time to enjoy everything at the parks so that we can get tons of photos and videos to share with you. Because it’s just not the same if we can’t bring y’all along with us!
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?
There’s are SO many treats out in Disney World right now for the holiday season!
Animal Kingdom
And, while we’re loving all those Christmas goodies, we’re excited to see that Animal Kingdom Tasting Sampler is back with new and old treats for guests to try! And, we’re taking you with us to snack on some savory and sweet eats all around the park!
It’s one of DFB’s favorite times of the year in Walt Disney World — greetings from the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!
Hello, Food and Wine Festival!
We adore sampling our way around the booths, jamming out to the Eat to the Beat Concerts, and attending special events and seminars! And that last one is what we’re talking about today — we recently attended one of our favorite Low Cost Seminars and are excited to share photos and a review with you. Are you ready to Mix It, Make It, and Celebrate It?
We never turn down an opportunity to visit Walt Disney World’s Epcot, and one of our favorite Epcot activities is checking out the new eats. 😉 Refreshment Port, located on the path between World Showcase and Future World, is a convenient spot to grab a quick bite.

The Refreshment Port in Epcot at Walt Disney World is a convenient spot to grab a snack — including Canada’s famous Cheddar Cheese Soup and Poutine!

Polynesian Village Resort
is a relaxing tropical getaway — with some great dining and drinking to boot! And since it’s on the Resort Monorail Loop, it’s easy to stop in any time of the day or night on your way to or from Magic Kingdom.

Guest Author AM Appleby returns to share her California Grill Brunch at the Top experience at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Brunch is offered every Sunday from 10AM – 1PM. Cost is $80 for adults and $48 for kids ages 3-11.
California Grill, located atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort, is well known for fine dining and spectacular views. A divine spot for sushi, steak, and fabulous cocktails, the restaurant began serving brunch in February for the first time in its 20-year history.
Considering the reputation of California Grill, I didn’t even glance at the menu before booking an Advance Dining Reservation. I thought brunch would be top notch, and had high hopes that I wouldn’t be disappointed.
Upon arriving at the Contemporary Resort, we were directed to Valet Parking where a Cast Member was waiting to greet us. After a quick trip to the second floor check-in desk we were whisked away in a private elevator to the 15th floor. We walked towards the abundant light streaming in through the enormous windows, admiring the view beyond, and were given complimentary mimosas (and a children’s mimosa — or “faux-mosa” for my seven-year-old daughter) at the bar.
Complimentary Mimosas
The spacious room was fairly quiet, with charming music being played on piano and double bass. [Read more…]
We welcome back guest writer AM Appleby! Today, she’ll take us inside of Narcoossee’s for their once a week morning offering — Sunday Brunch!
We’ve enjoyed dinner at Narcoossee’s, located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, many times, and always love booking a reservation coincident with the Wishes fireworks at the Magic Kingdom.
But recently, this dinner-only spot has begun to offer a leisurely and luxurious Sunday Brunch. We couldn’t wait to take a peek!
On a glorious and sunny Sunday morning, my daughter and I went to Narcoossee’s Waterfront Brunch at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
Entrance
I’ve enjoyed dinner twice at this location and was excited to try brunch. We arrived at the Grand Floridian twenty minutes before our reservation time and walked through the magnificent lobby and out the back doors to the restaurant. [Read more…]
