food IS a theme park
Things have been CHANGING with characters in Disney World!
Mirabel in Fairytale Garden
Just in the past several days, we’ve seen multiple character updates in Magic Kingdom. The Mirabel meet and greet officially opened in Fairytale Garden, and Bruno from Encanto joined the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade. But on top of that, one little-known meet and greet moved across the park!
We here at Disney Food Blog love all kinds of food.
Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe Spread
We think it’s very important that you know that Disney World isn’t just another theme park with boring fast food; there are some really great snacks to be found around the parks. Typically, we advise our readers to stay away from most of the pre-packaged snacks in the park (there are much better fresh treats available!), but we couldn’t resist this Magic Kingdom treat!
There are lots of good places to meet characters in Disney World. You can meet Mickey at Town Square Theater in Magic Kingdom, say hello to Anna and Elsa in the Norway pavilion of EPCOT‘s World Showcase, and watch lots of characters go by on floats on the Discovery River in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Hey, Mickey!
But there’s one lesser-known character spot that we think you REALLY need to know about! [Read more…]
It’s no secret that we love trying new Disney food. We are Disney FOOD Blog, after all.
Elephant Cupcake
It’s been an eventful week in Disney World for foodie news. There’s a NEW menu at California Grill that we had to try, Narcoossee’s has reopened with a whole new makeover, and TWO Disney restaurants were recognized by Michelin Guide. But this week we also tried THREE new snacks around the parks, and we had some thoughts.
Part of visiting a Disney Resort is the magic of seeing characters!
Max Goof at Wilderness Lodge
You can see characters at some Disney Resort restaurants like Chef Mickey’s or Cape May Cafe. Sometimes, if you get lucky, you can see characters just visiting in the hotel lobby. You can wave, take photos with them or even get their autograph. Soon, TWO classic characters will be going on vacation to a beachside Disney resort!

There are lots of places where you can meet characters all the time in Disney World, but sometimes rare or unusual meet-and-greets pop up for a limited time around the parks.
Chip and Dale
For example, Mickey is usually at the Town Square Theater in Magic Kingdom, and Olaf frequently hangs out at Celebrity Spotlight at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But during some after-hours parties and events, we’ve spotted Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, Haunted Mansion characters, and even Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. Today, we found some familiar characters in an unusual spot, and they were wearing very interesting outfits! [Read more…]
Possibly the most underrated theme park in Disney World is Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Exciting thrill rides, animal exhibits, Broadway-style shows, and Cheeseburger Pods — what’s not to love??
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you’re also a fan of this amazing park, come along with us to check out what’s NEW here since we last visited. Get ready for returning character meet-and-greets, a hiding dinosaur, and shocking holiday weekend crowds — time to dive in! [Read more…]
Want to meet Disney characters for FREE without going into the parks or even stepping into a character meal? Well, listen up!
Chip and Dale!
A number of things have returned to Disney World over the past few months, or are set to return soon — from the the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue to the Harmony Barber Shop. And now Disney has announced ANOTHER special experience will be returning soon!
Disney World has a LOT of hotels and you might have your favorites, but are you ignoring one of Disney World’s BEST and most unique hotels?
Fort Wilderness
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground is a HIGHLY-rated hotel. On Yelp, the campgrounds have 4 out of 5 stars and the cabins have 4.5 out of 5 stars! Still, a lot of folks might not consider staying at a cabin or campground. So, what makes this hotel so great?
Remember that line on Disney’s famous PeopleMover attraction that goes, “The PeopleMover is the perfect vehicle for people-watching. So keep your eyes peeled; you never know who you might see!” Well, it turns out you don’t have to take a ride on the PeopleMover to find an unexpected friend in Disney World!
You never know who you might see!
Sometimes, wandering off the beaten path or visiting the aquarium can lead you to a character sighting — we love when that happens! During our recent visit to the Magic Kingdom, we found TWO characters hanging out in a new location!
