food IS a theme park
March was a BIG month of news for Disney World and lots of news can sometimes make for surprises!
Walt Disney World
From dining changes to health measure updates and more, let’s take a look at the four most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
OK, y’all. It’s time to talk about the unsung hero of Disney World dining: resort food courts. Now, we know what you’re thinking: “Why on earth would I eat at those spots when there are options like Casey’s Corner, La Hacienda de San Angel, and JIKO out there?” We totally get it. But these cafeteria-style restaurants can do one thing for you that all of those places CAN’T.
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
These fast, casual restaurants can be there for you, right inside your hotel, even late at night when you’re just craving a slice of pizza or a burger. They’re easy to find, have a lot of comfortable options, and are generally much cheaper than the table-service restaurants in Disney World. Let’s visit one of these restaurants today to find out if it’s worth a visit during your upcoming trip to Disney World. [Read more…]
We just found a couple of NEW snacks in Disney World, and they’re both at a location that doesn’t get a whole lot of time in the spotlight. But could these tasty eats change that?
Walt Disney World
Magic Kingdom is not exactly known for its dining scene, although you can find some classic treats (like DOLE Whips) and delicious snacks (like Casey’s Corner corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese) inside this park. But when we’re looking for a mind-blowing meal, we usually head over to a nearby resort restaurant, like Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort or ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Could the new eats we found inside Magic Kingdom convince us to stay in the park instead? Let’s find out! [Read more…]
Of all the Disney World parks, Disney’s Hollywood Studios feels like it sort of gets the short end of the stick sometimes. But truthfully, there are SO MANY Quick Service treats to savor! But let’s not forget that there are some seriously beloved Table Service restaurants here, too!
Time for Some Noodles!
For proof, just ask Yelp!
Did you know that you can eat in SPACE in Disney World? (And no, we’re not talking about the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel). We’re referring to Space 220 in EPCOT, which is located in the World Discovery section of this park! At this restaurant, you’ll board an elevator and head “220 miles above the Earth” to eat your meal in space.
Space 220
We’ve already eaten just about everything on the menu here for lunch, dinner, and the lounge, but now Disney has added some brand NEW items! Are the latest eats enough to tempt you to make a reservation? Spoiler alert: there’s one dish in particular that we think will be a BIG hit with many guests. Check out our full review of the new items here! [Read more…]
Of all the Disney World parks, EPCOT is basically synonymous with destination dining! But let’s be real: some restaurants in this food-filled park are more destination-worthy than others — as evidenced by the Yelp reviews.
There’s good food here
While many EPCOT restaurants have their diehard fans, certain Table Service locations are especially adored, and Yelp is here to remind us why!
Around here, we LOVE Disney World restaurants! This is the Disney FOOD Blog after all. But if we’re being real, some Disney World restaurants are just better than others.
That meat looks INCREDIBLE
Nowhere is this sentiment made more obvious than Yelp. While certain Disney World restaurants have their detractors, others are BELOVED, including the top-rated Table Service spots in Animal Kingdom! But, instead of sharing reviews for Animal Kingdom, most have ranked Animal Kingdom Lodge spots instead.
Space 220 was a mysterious EPCOT restaurant that put us through YEARS of uncertainty. Okay, that might be a bit dramatic. 😉 But still! It was a project that was delayed over and over until finally opening in September 2021.
Space 220
It’s only been a few months since this spot opened but it looks like we’re already seeing some pretty substantial updates to the Space 220 menu! There are some additions, removals, and changes. Have any of your favorites left? Would any of the new items encourage you to visit this spot or even give it a second visit? Let’s check it out here!
We’re heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to eat at a SERIOUSLY underrated restaurant.
Hollywood Studios
Granted, this spot hasn’t been a top priority for us in the past. With some really fun restaurants in the park — like 50’s Prime Time Café or Woody’s Lunch Box — we used to write off this spot as not worth the money or stomach space. But recent updates have pulled the eatery back into the game, so let’s head in to check out the grub! [Read more…]
Have you ever spent hundreds of hours planning your Disney World trip only to get there and realize that you made more mistakes in the planning process than you can count on two hands?
Disney Springs
We get it, it’s easy! You can end up hating the Disney hotel that you booked (and paid thousands of dollars to stay at), having to console your kiddos after taking them on a ride that you thought was well-suited for children, or end up walking around the parks with a hangry family after you come to find that the next mobile order window isn’t for another three hours. But, all these mistakes are avoidable and we’re going to let you in on all our little tips and secrets that will ensure you enjoy your visit to Disney Springs!
