food IS a theme park
Heading to Disney World this summer? You’re not alone! We’ve got plenty of tips on how to beat the heat and avoid those pesky crowds — but our best tips are all about FOOD.
EPCOT
EPCOT is home to some of our favorite Disney World restaurants, whether fancy sit-down meals or quick grab-and-go options. And now, there’s a NEW lunch offering available from Nine Dragons in the China Pavilion — let’s get into the details.
We may be a food blog, but that doesn’t mean we sit around eating lobster thermidor and scallops every day. We’re normal people — we like the simple stuff, too! Chicken tenders? Yeah, we still eat ’em. Mickey-shaped snacks? They still bring us joy. Corn dog nuggets? Who said they’re just for kids?! Speaking of snacks that make us happy, we need to talk about our meal at Mama’s Snack Stop at Disney’s Aulani Resort.
Let’s head to the Snack Stop!
It’s no secret that the DFB team LOVES Corn Dog Nuggets, formally known as Mini Corn Dogs or Corn Dog Bites. There’s something about those little bundles of beef (and whatever else is in a hot dog) that really hits the spot when you’re on vacation. Now, we’ve been longtime fans of the Mini Corn Dogs at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom, but what if we told you that there’s ANOTHER place to get corn dog nuggs…and they might be even better.🫣
Aulani, Disney’s resort and spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii, is a tropical paradise that, of course, has a touch of Disney magic!
Aulani
Not only is this resort beautiful, but it is also home to some delicious eats like Mickey Mouse-shaped shaved ice and Mickey Mouse-shaped Spam musubi. We recently stopped by Aulani’s family-friendly restaurant, Makahiki — The Bounty of the Islands, for dinner, and we are taking you along with us! Let’s get into it!
We all love Disney World food, but have you heard of this new non-Disney fast food spot?

It looks like we’re going to have to make our way to Portland, Oregon, because a new plant-based burger joint has just opened up. This wasn’t opened up randomly; it was started by a famous American professional cook — let’s take a look!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got so much to choose from. You’ve got options ranging from quick and easy, which are great for days you’re running around doing everything you can, while other sit-down, table service restaurant options are available for when you want to treat yourself and take a breather.

Some of Disney World’s “worst” restaurants have surprised us in the best way possible.

We know, we know — there are a few spots around Disney World that have earned a reputation for being a little… underwhelming or really divisive. But that didn’t stop us from digging deeper and trying some snacks that completely changed the game. These are hidden gems — tucked away in places you probably wouldn’t expect to find anything worth writing home about. Let’s talk about the four snacks that made us stop mid-bite and go, “Wait, this is from where?”
We KNOW Disney World dining, and we literally visit EVERY restaurant multiple times to give you the latest reviews!

Something new has popped up around Disney World and it’s already made quite an impression on us!
New ice pop!
Disney World has sent us through an entire rollercoaster of emotions lately between some of our favorite snacks being taken away overnight from menus, and the addition of brand new options we’ve tried that pushed the envelope of our thinking. But if you were in search of the perfect snack on a hot summer day that really makes your mouth water in the best way, you’ll need to head over to where the wild things are to find it!
