food IS a theme park
What a week, right?
There’s a new drink at Starbucks!
We’re still riding on the high of riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic rewind last week, getting updates on TRON Lightcycle Run testing, and drooling over the new Mexico ears over in EPCOT. But don’t worry because we’re still keeping a close eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and we’ve got all the updates for the week right here!
This has been a big week at Disney World.
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
Although the highlight was probably riding EPCOT’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, we’ve also had fun trying out some new snacks, including some fun Mother’s Day treats, as well as some May the 4th snacks. But we’ve also been keeping an eye on EVERYTHING happening at Disney World restaurants.

We love being your friend. And as friends we have to follow certain rules.

And what kind of friend would we be if we didn’t give you a handy dandy list for you to use when planning out all of those delicious Disney World meals in 2022?! We’re right here friends, and we’ve got you covered with the ultimate list of restaurants in Disney World that you WON’T want to miss in 2022!
One of the most magical ways to end your Disney World day is to watch the fireworks over Cinderella Castle or above the EPCOT World Showcase Lagoon.
Happily Ever After Fireworks
You can make that experience even better by adding some delicious Disney food into the mix! Digging into a tasty meal while The Magic Kingdom fireworks are going off in the background? Sounds like heaven to us. Today, we’re taking a look at the BEST restaurants for fireworks views in Disney World.
When dining at Disney World, there seems to be an endless amount of choices, from where you’re going to eat to what you’re going to order once you’ve selected your restaurant.
Dinner Spread at Space 220
If you feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices to make, one way to make your dining experiences a bit more “streamlined” is by ordering off of a prix fixe menu. Today, we’re going to chat about what exactly these menus are, and why Disney World seems to be more obsessed with them these days!
From ride closures to bad weather, and transportation problems to looong queues, Disney World vacations don’t always go to plan.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Some of the things that you can usually count on are those dining reservations, which you can make 60 days before your visit and then forget about until it’s time to eat. But today we saw a BIG and unexpected dining reservation problem that you could encounter during your trip. Here’s what we know so far about this issue. [Read more…]
It’s that time of the year when the weather starts cooling off a bit and we even start thinking we might even need a sweater at night (yes, it DOES happen occasionally in Florida).
Soup is good food.
It’s also the holiday season, which means while we’re enjoying all the fun holiday decor at Disney World while we start buying ALL the new holiday merchandise, we also want to eat serious winter comfort food. And you know what we’re talking about, right? SOUP! We want soup!
Whether it was in Disney World or in your hometown, restaurants experienced limited capacity restrictions beginning in March of 2020 that seemed to all but erase reservation availability. Since then, however, capacity has more or less returned to normal — but has Disney’s Advance Dining Reservation process gotten any easier?
Oak-fired Filet of Beef at California Grill
A lack of available dining reservations seems to be a hot-button topic and many readers have reached out with concerns. This led us to wonder if there were actually NO/very limited Advance Dining Reservations in Disney World. We put on our investigator hats and got to work to get an answer!
Prix fixe menus, or multi-course meals at a singular fixed price, have become more commonplace around Disney World. More recently, menus at new restaurants like Space 220 are totally centered around the prix fixe experience (EPCOT’s other new restaurant, La Crêperie de Paris, has a prix fixe option on their menu as well). Some long-standing restaurants have shifted to a prix fixe model as well, including Be Our Guest Restaurant, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and the new three-course menu at California Grill for the 50th Anniversary Celebration.
