food IS a theme park
You’ve read all the lists, watched all the videos, and know exactly which snacks you’re going to get when you’re in the Disney World parks.
Mickey Pretzel!
There’s just one problem — Disney World doesn’t end just at the park gates. Some of our absolute favorite foods are hiding, and sometimes in the unlikeliest of places. Say goodbye to Mickey Premium Bars and popcorn because we’re sharing eight amazing Disney snacks you won’t find in the theme parks!
Disney just LOVES to keep us on our toes by switching things up and introducing new menu items for us to try in the parks and beyond!
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter
We recently checked out the new eats over at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and you can read that review here. But now, it looks like we’ll have even more exciting dishes to try because NEW eats and drinks are coming to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort. Let’s see what they’re cooking up down on the bayou!
And just like that, 2021 has come to a close!
Cinderella Castle
Perhaps for the first time all year, we don’t have a single entry this month from a theme park on either our best or worst list. Every item we’re covering today came from outside of the parks, and the majority (with the exception of one) came from the resorts!
Hello, DFB Readers! Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
Peppermint Cream Cheese Mousse
And now that we’ve eaten SO many holiday treats, we’re ready for all the new snacks 2022 has in store for us. But in the meantime, we’ve also got the latest restaurant menu updates you’ll want to know about — so here’s EVERY menu change we spotted in December 2021.
A few weeks back, Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts reopened (Riverside on October 14th and French Quarter shortly after on October 28th). However, Riverside’s beloved table service restaurant, Boatwright’s Dining Hall, stayed closed during the initial opening phase.
Let’s go get some dinner!
But now, Boatwright’s has opened to the public once again after being closed for nearly two years, and we’re here, ready to chow down and tell you our thoughts! Let’s dig in.
Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Resort is a casual table service offering that features Southern Louisiana cuisine.
Boatwright’s is open!
Although Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Resort reopened in October, not everything there opened with the resort. Boatwright’s remained closed, and fans eagerly awaited when this hidden gem of a restaurant would finally reopen. But today, we’ve got some good news for fans out there, because Boatwright’s is now OPEN!
Disney World attractions, rides, and restaurants can close down for a myriad of reasons, sometimes planned and sometimes not.

We like to keep you updated on what’s going to be closed in Disney World so that you’re not blindsided when you arrive in the parks! Â [Read more…]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
It just got a little more expensive to dine here.
It’s when we stuff our faces full of holiday treats, visit the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and buy a ton of Disney holiday merchandise. But while we’re having all this festive fun, we’re also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus to see what’s changed.
