food IS a theme park
It’s time! The 2026 Food & Wine Festival has officially begun at Disney California Adventure!
Full Spread from LA Style!
This festival has so many amazing food and drink options! Here’s our top picks!
If you’ve ever planned a trip to Disney World, chances are you’ve at least looked into the Disney Dining Plan — Disney’s divisive meal credit offering. But if you’ve ever tried to find the same option for a trip at Disneyland in California, you’ve probably noticed something pretty quickly: It doesn’t exist.
Flo’s V-8 Cafe
Disney World’s Dining Plan has a couple of different options that allow you to prepay for meal and snack credits that can simply be allocated at an array of restaurants and food stands all over the resort. It is a useful vacation package add-on that many guests take advantage of during a vacation — so why exactly doesn’t Disneyland offer a Disney Dining Plan like Disney World does? The answer comes down to a few key differences between the two resorts — and once you understand them, it actually makes a lot of sense.
Not too long ago, Disney revealed exclusive early access to a brand-new Disney Dining Plan offer that allowed guests to get a FREE Dining Plan when they book their next Disney World vacation for the summer.
Time to eat at Tony’s Town Square!
The early access to the Dining Plan was only available for Disney Visa Cardmembers. However, we’re excited to say that Disney World’s free dining plan offer is now available for ALL guests who are headed to Disney World this summer. Looking to save some extra money on food for your next Disney trip? Let’s take a look at the details!
We’re on Disney’s newest cruise ship, trying all of the food! The Disney Adventure has over 20 restaurants, with most of them being brand-new, which means we have to eat — a lot!
Gramma Tala’s Kitchen
Gramma Tala’s Kitchen is a new restaurant exclusively on the Disney Adventure. This Pacific and Asian restaurant is themed after Gramma Tala from Moana. Now let’s dive in!
It takes a lot to keep Disney World running in tip-top shape, and sometimes, to do that, Disney has to close certain experiences for refurbishment.
Let’s go to the Turf Club!
If you’ve got an upcoming stay at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and were looking to check out some of the hotel’s eateries, there’s an important closure at the Turf Club Bar & Grill and Turf Club Lounge coming up that you might want to know about. We’ve got all the details for you, right here on DFB!
Let’s talk about a very real Disney World problem: it’s 10:45PM, you just got back to your hotel after a full park day, your feet are screaming… and your tummy is rumbling.
New food at Contempo Cafe
The catch? Many Disney World quick-service restaurants close around 10 or 11 PM. If you didn’t grab something before heading out of the parks, late-night dining options at your resort can feel seriously limited, especially if you’re a night owl or traveling with hungry kids. And that’s exactly why this app hack feels life-changing.
We’re just as excited as you about the announcement of Disney World’s free dining plan offer. However, with a deal that delicious, there have to be some rules written in between the lines for how you can take advantage of this.
San Angel Inn
Disney just revealed exclusive early access to a brand-new Disney Dining Plan offer that will allow guests to get a FREE Dining Plan when they book their next Disney World vacation for the summer. Like we said, there are some rules that you’ll have to follow for this deal, so let’s take a look at what they are!
Is this one of EPCOT’s most immersive restaurants…or just overrated?
Let’s eat!
San Angel Inn Restaurante has long been a popular dining spot inside the Mexico Pavilion, drawing visitors in with its unique atmosphere and prime location along the Gran Fiesta Tour ride route. But while the setting is undeniably memorable, opinions on the food and overall experience tend to vary. We took a closer look at what dining here is really like (from the ambiance to the new menu items) to help you decide if this restaurant deserves a spot on your upcoming EPCOT visit.
If you’re craving a milkshake in Disney World, then we know the best place to grab one. Head to Disney Springs and go to the Black Tap CrazyShakes Pop-Up in the old Sprinkles building for the best milkshake of your life!
Mickey Mouse Shake
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes has a location in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney that we frequent. We love their CrazyShakes – they’re extra, over-the-top milkshakes that are both Insta-worthy and delicious, and now, you can get some of them at Disney Springs for a limited time!
If there’s a new snack at Disneyland, you can best believe we’re running over to try it!
Mini Corn Dogs
Disneyland Park is home to MANY tasty treats, and we’re always excited when it adds to its pantheon of interesting theme park food. Frontierland’s Golden Horseshoe is an underappreciated quick-service restaurant that serves some of those classic eats with a menu that gets shaken up quite often. It’s latest iteration features a classic Disney treat with a twist, and it’s safe to say we have some thoughts…
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
