food IS a theme park
Sometimes, it’s the classic snacks that reign supreme. Yes, we love fancy dishes with perfect presentation, but sometimes a traditional cheeseburger is all you need during a day at Disneyland.
Chicken tender time!
We’re heading to Galactic Grill in Disneyland to get our hands on some chicken tenders!
You’ve likely heard about how wonderful, yet expensive, The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk is, but we can say that after dining in both the restaurant and visiting the bakery multiple times, in most cases, we find the higher price to be worth the experience.
We’ve found THE BEST chicken tenders on Disney World property!
While we’re usually pretty ecstatic when we hear about a new menu item at the location, words can’t express how curious and thrilled we were to hear that the restaurant just added chicken tenders to its menu! We grabbed a reservation ASAP to try them out, and let’s just say, these might be the BEST chicken tenders in the entirety of Disney World.
Disney World is always changing with rides getting reimagined, hotels getting refreshed, and even the smallest details evolving over time.
Buffalo Chicken Strips
But lately, we’ve noticed a very specific change happening across restaurants and snack stands, and honestly? We’re obsessed with it. Disney World has quietly started a new food trend: taking one wildly popular, familiar item and remixing it into multiple versions across the parks and resorts. Instead of introducing totally brand-new snacks that guests might skip, Disney is leaning into foods people already love… and then making them impossible to ignore. Think of it like a food scavenger hunt, and we want more.
We love hearing about new restaurants opening up around the Orlando area, because, hey, while we are DISNEY Food Blog, we also love exploring options outside the park and around the city, so you know where to eat if you’re exploring!
Time to try a new spot!
We were invited to check out a new spot that just opened up about half an hour from Disney Springs, and when we heard it had a focus on chicken and sauces, we said YES, PLEASE! Saucy! by KFC has just opened in Orlando, and if you like bold flavors, you’ve gotta give it a try.
When Disney World announced that they were dropping a BUNCH of new chicken tender meals, you best believe we were celebrating like it was a national holiday. There were about a million exclamation marks used in messages, and schedules and plans were created just so we could eat alllll the new dishes.
ALL the chicken tenders
We went to the parks and tried these special chicken tender meals all across Disney World, and we’re spilling all the details here with you. Sit back and relax, and read up on which chicken tender meal you should try during your next visit to Disney World.
We’ve got AMAZING chicken tender news coming out of Disney World (bet you didn’t think you’d hear THAT sentence today)!

Disney World chicken strips are a staple for a reason — they’re iconic, and while they’re not the most exciting, they’re solid and rarely disappoint us. However, we’ve been secretly hoping for some new, more exciting chicken strips, and Disney has heard our pleas! Check out the THIRTEEN new chicken strip meals coming to Disney World SOON!
We finally know what is going on with the abandoned NBA Experience building in Disney Springs!
Future home of LEVEL99
In case you missed it, the former home of both DisneyQuest and the NBA Experience will soon be home to a new tenant, LEVEL99! Previously, a permit was filed for demolition of the building, but we are so happy to hear something new will be taking up residence. LEVEL99 is an interactive, social entertainment experience known for its challenge rooms, and the location at Disney Springs will be its fifth location and first in Florida.
We are so excited about this new addition that we went to another LEVEL99 location to try some of their menu items before their opening at Disney World!
You will NEVER guess where we just found some TASTY chicken tenders in Disney World!
Disney Springs
While there is something comforting about the chicken tenders you can find across Disney World property, we just tried some wonderful chicken tenders in an unlikely place!
They’re warm. They’re yummy. They’re picky eater-approved.
You can’t go wrong!
Yessiree, we’re talking about chicken tenders. They’re a Disney World staple for many; can you even visit Disney World without grabbing a basket of piping hot tendies? Anyway, sometimes we find ourselves missing these bad boys and we wish we could have them at home. Well, we found out that you totally CAN have them at home. As long as you know a Disney World Cast Member.
We’ve got even MORE big McDonald’s news!
Don’t you have 20 photos of a McDonalds on your camera roll, too?
We LOVE to keep up with things going on at McDonalds — It’s one of the most convenient places to grab food if you’re looking for something familiar but still within the Disney World bubble! We’ve kept up with the newest Happy Meal toys, new menu items, and even the happenings with their spin-off location, CosMc’s. NOW we have something even bigger and better to talk about. The RETURN of one of the most beloved menu items.
