food IS a theme park
It’s certainly no secret that Disney World is HOT during the summer.
Japan Pavilion
We’re always looking for ways to cool down, whether it’s with the latest park bag essentials, some ice-cold air-conditioning (looking at you, Carousel of Progress!), or a refreshing snack. Luckily for us (and you!), an iconic frozen treat has returned to the Japan Pavilion at EPCOT, and we’re bringing you our FULL review!
There are lots of fun national holidays or celebration days that many people don’t know about, but when you keep up with the news like we do, there’s very little you miss!
Bangkok Chicken Wings from Nomad Lounge
Being Disney Food Blog, there’s lots of food we like — especially considering we have a whole team of reporters, writers, and editors who have all different tastebuds, but one thing we can almost all agree on is that when there’s a national chicken wing day coming up, we KNOW we’ve gotta take advantage of it. Here’s how you can, too!
Big changes are coming to Disney World’s biggest holiday parties this year — and we’re not just talking new snacks or parade floats.
Christmas Decorations in Magic Kingdom
If you’re planning to visit for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, or Jollywood Nights in 2025, you’ll want to pay close attention. Several attractions and restaurants are permanently closed, and yes, they’re going to have a real impact on the party experience. Let’s break down what’s going away, what’s replacing it, and how that’ll shake up your night at these special events.
A brand-new restaurant has just opened at Disney World!
We’re pumped!
Celebrity chef, Michael Mina, leads a brand-new restaurant called Bourbon Steak at Disney World’s Dolphin and Swan Resort! We’re so excited for this new dining spot, and it’s mouth-watering, perfectly seared steaks, shareable sides, and more. It was set to open on July 26th, but they surprised us with a soft opening on the 24th!
Dining at Disney World can get complicated FAST. So where’s the best place to turn when you’re not looking to stay put for long? What if you’re looking for a walkable snack to take with you while you’re spending time in the ride lines? Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered!
Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks
We recently stopped by Thirsty River Bar & Trek Snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to find out if a few of our old favorites still reign supreme here, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is this little hole-in-the-wall snack and drink outpost worth a stop on your next visit? Find out here!

Bourbon Steak will offer a reimagined modern take on the quintessential American steakhouse. We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at this new restaurant before it officially opens to the public, and we’re bringing you our FULL thoughts!
The holidays at Disney are quickly approaching and we’ve got even more reasons to celebrate soon!
Disneyland Christmas Parade
Visiting Disney during the holiday season can be one of the most cherished times of the year. Now that we’re in the full swing of celebrating Disney’s 70th anniversary, it might have left you wondering which of your favorite experiences will be returning and if this cheerful season will bring new things with it as well. Well, as a life-long Disney fanatic, I’m happy to confirm for you that BOTH will be true, and there’s A LOT to look forward to on your next trip to Disney this holiday season.
We have eaten EVERYWHERE in Disney World, and we aren’t stopping there! We constantly review new food and revisit locations to give you the most up-to-date reviews. We even head to those hidden dining spots that most people probably haven’t even heard of.
Disney’s Saratoga Springs
Well, today, we are heading to one of those spots. We are stopping by Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Cafe at Disney’s Lake Buena Golf Course at Saratoga Springs Resort to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Should you seek out this hard-to-find dining spot? Find out here!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Animal Kingdom
We recently stopped by Tusker House for lunch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
If I’m going to Disney World’s All-Star Resorts, it’s probably against my will.
All-Star Music
Alright, that may be a slight exaggeration, but when I say that these hotels aren’t anywhere near the top of my list (and probably not at the top of many people’s lists!), that’s quite true. All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, and All-Star Sports may be the cheapest of the Disney World resorts, but sometimes that means dealing with some super cringey things when you stay there!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
