food IS a theme park
If your New Year’s Resolution was to cut back on frosting, then we’ve got GREAT news for you.
Sprinkles Entrance
Starting tomorrow, January 4, Sprinkles in Disney World is releasing a NEW limited edition treat that offers a fun twist on the classic Banana Cupcakes.
Gideon’s Bakehouse, the newest spot in Disney Springs, has FINALLY opened!
Hello Gargoyle!
Gideon’s Bakehouse shared that it would have a soft opening beginning on December 23rd. We’ve been (im)patiently awaiting this opening for a while now, and we are so thrilled to finally get our hands on these cookies!! One of the things we’ve been most looking forward to following the opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse is its Hot Cookie Hour. Sound intriguing? We thought so, too!
We’ve been showing off our excitement for the new year by eating our way through all the specialty snacks in Disney World.
Walt Disney World Gateway
We’ve been happy to try some 2021 cupcakes along with a special margarita, and we’re still keeping an eye out for as many special treats as possible! Today, we scored with a specialty New Year’s Eve dessert from Sunshine Seasons in EPCOT!
When it comes to certain desserts, we’re firm believers that the gooier it is the better!
‘Ohana Bread Pudding
Bread pudding is the PRIME example, and we tried the gooiest version at Disney World that’s PERFECT for cooler temps, aka hot cocoa weather!
Disney World is a snacker’s paradise, but obvi not ALL snacks are made the same, and not all snacks are necessarily worth your while!
Dole Whip!
In a land of iconic treats, there are inevitably going to be some worthwhile hits, and some…meh? To really dig in, we conducted a scientific study (aka conducted an Instagram poll) to determine the most underrated and overrated snacks in Disney World!
Planet Hollywood is one of the long-standing restaurants that has stood the test of time in Disney Springs.
Planet Meltdown — Pre Melt
We’re not huge fans of the restaurant but the menu has pulled off some good items for us in the past. The menu is coordinated by none other than the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives host Guy Fieri. (And, if you want something a little quicker, you can head next door to Chicken Guy and try his quick-service restaurant.) Some Disney Springs restaurants are offering special holiday specials for guests visiting Disney World this Christmas. Planet Hollywood is doing the same by bringing back a special dessert!
This time of year, gingerbread is a near-daily occurrence for us, and a CONSTANT craving!
BoardWalk Bakery
Fortunately, Disney World understands our spicy yearnings, and delivers with a veritable parade of endless gingerbread sweets. While we’ve certainly tried MANY gingerbread treats already, this latest arrival at BoardWalk Bakery earns bonus points by garnishing a cupcake with a cookie!
This time of year, it’s absolutely CRUCIAL to consume a steady stream of peppermint, in order to maintain proper holiday giddiness! Fortunately, whether it’s a GIGANTIC donut or a refreshing cocktail, Disney World has those peppermint cravings covered!
Animal Kingdom Holidays
Beyond the popular snack picks, we discovered ANOTHER way to add a little peppermint to your life with this ice cream hack at Animal Kingdom!
In case you wanted to ring in the new year with Indian-style Bread Service or Thai Coconut Meatballs, you’re in LUCK!
Sanaa Bread Service To Go!
While New Year’s Eve is certainly going to look a LOT different this year, Disney World announced that quick-service restaurants, pool bars, and lounges at its resorts will be open late for the holiday!
Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs is home to a lot of sweet treats and delicious coffees.
Vivoli il Gelato
The gelato shop has recently added a new, seasonal flavor, and is even offering a morning “happy hour” for all your breakfast needs! We noticed some changes to the menu and we’re here to share all of them with you!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
