food IS a theme park
There are so many perks when you stay at a Disney World hotel!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Disney World just recently rolled out another NEW hotel perk that will be a game changer when visiting the parks. And we have already received confirmation that many of your favorite hotel perks will stick around into 2025. While there are a lot of great perks, there are two hotel perks that could actually ruin your morning.
I’m here to tell you about my FAVORITE character meal, and my favorite character meal HACK in Magic Kingdom!
Let’s go!
Yep, I’m talking about Crystal Palace! This Magic Kingdom restaurant is home to a delightful character buffet during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But if you can’t decide between breakfast or lunch? You don’t have to! I recently made a trip to Crystal Palace where I got to experience TWO meals. And today, I’m bringing my full review of the experience and telling you how I did it!
Are you thinking about planning a trip to Disney World?
Magic Kingdom
You have come to the right place! Here at DFB we know a thing or two about Disney World and we always want to share our knowledge with you! There is so much that goes into planning a trip to Disney World like travel, park tickets, hotel reservations, dining reservations, and transportation. We know it is a lot to think about, but we don’t want you to miss out on all the tips and tricks that can make your vacation even easier! We compiled a list of 50 things you need to know before you visit Disney World!
We don’t know what’s going on, but, y’all, Disney World breakfasts are just getting better and better, particularly at hotel quick service locations.
Contempo Cafe
First, the whole croissant trend is LIFE, and we’ll be eating over-the-top croissants for LIFE (especially those with espresso in them). Then there’s the Loaded Totcho Bowl that’s turned up on breakfast menus at many of Disney World’s hotel quick service spots — we can’t get enough! Now, though, we’ve found two more new delicious breakfast items that are sure to help you fuel up before a day in the parks.
Okay, here us out: we love Totchos — almost as much as we love plastic cheese. Okay, okay, we know that’s probably not anything new.
Roaring Fork
We’ve spent a lot of time talking about the Totchos at Woody’s Lunch Box in Hollywood Studios. There’s just something about those little potato barrels (tater tots, Disney, they’re tater tots) covered in toppings that just feels so satisfying every time we eat them. But Disney has done something that may be even better. The Totcho game has been ELEVATED! Because now we have the BEST Breakfast Totchos EVER.
While menu changes happen practically every day at Disney World, and we are always keeping you updated with our weekly menu updates, some changes deserve a post of their own. And today, we have some exciting Mickey Waffle news!
Sunset Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
A food stand at Disney’s Hollywood Studios just got a HUGE update and we needed to let you know about it!
Hi, I’m Lydia. I eat a LOT of Disney World food. Like, more Disney food in a couple months than most people will eat in a lifetime. Why? Because I’m a DFB reporter!
Cinderella Castle
It’s part of my job to try new Disney World snacks and do full-scale reviews of Disney World restaurants. But besides all of that, I’m also in the parks several days a week, and a girl’s gotta eat lunch! To add variety and to expand my Disney food palette, I set a challenge for myself — to eat at every quick service restaurant in Disney World.
There’s one Disney World hotel restaurant that has become near and dear to our hearts in the past few years.
Steakhouse 71
Steakhouse 71 opened at Disney’s Contemporary Resort for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary on October 1st, 2021. It replaced The Wave on the first floor of the resort, but it brought a new charm that we really enjoyed! (And we reviewed the food pretty positively, as well!) We first tried breakfast at the restaurant on its opening day, but now we’re back in 2024 to see if it still holds up!
There are lots of spring festivities happening right now in Disneyland! We have spotted adorable popcorn buckets and even hunted for Easter eggs around the resort.
Disneyland Hotel
And now a Disneyland restaurant is also getting a CHANGE for spring! What better time for a little restaurant refresh than spring, right? Come with us to see what’s new!
When you’re at Disney World, how often do you start your day with a breakfast of champions?
EPCOT
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and if you’re at Disney World, there are options available to you. Maybe you grab a bite from your hotel’s cafeteria-style restaurant, or you make a reservation for a character breakfast at the park you’re going to. Speaking of the parks, not all are created equal when it comes to breakfast. Would it surprise you to know that if you want breakfast at EPCOT, you might not have the greatest options available?
