food IS a theme park
Disneyland has some absolutely iconic desserts!
Mickey Beignets
From Dole Whip to churros to Mickey beignets, there is no shortage of photogenic and delicious sweet treats. And, we just tried out another fun dessert that will make you feel like a kid again!
Earlier this month, Disney announced that a new table-service restaurant would be coming to Disney’s BoardWalk — The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
This restaurant is expected to open in 2023, and today, Disney shared a little more about the creator of the restaurant, Gwendolyn Rogers.
Who says you need a park ticket to have fun at Disney World? Thanks to a little shopping district known as Disney Springs, we can eat, explore, and shop without stepping foot in a Disney park. Sorry, Space Mountain, we’ve got other plans today!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs has some INCREDIBLE restaurants (plus some killer bakeries, too), and plenty of places to shop! Whether you’re there for the new food, entertainment, or merchandise (or maybe a little of everything!), come with us to see what’s new over in Disney Springs!
There are TONS of Disney World treats that were tailor-made to be photographed — we’re talking colorful cupcakes, over-the-top milkshakes, and artsy cocktails. These treats are so cute that they practically BEG people to post an Instagram photo! But not every Disney snack is a total winner.
Not all treats look like a million bucks!
During our visit to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, we noticed a CHANGE in a popular cupcake!
It’s a BIG day, people! Just when all hope was lost, Disney surprised us with the return of a BELOVED treat.
We’ve been missing one special treat for a LONG time!
Over in Adventureland, you might easily miss a little snack stand on your way to the Jungle Cruise or Pirates of the Caribbean. Though small, the Sunshine Tree Terrace is a SWEET little soft-serve location with some fabulous Dole Whip treats! Now, a Sunshine Tree Terrace classic is BACK on the menu!
What’s crackin’, friends? We’re back to take a look at what’s new at Disneyland Resort!
Avengers Campus
There are some exciting food and merchandise updates we can’t wait to share! We’ve got a lot to cover, so let’s jump right in!
Welcome back to the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow! (That’s what EPCOT stands for, in case you didn’t know 😉.)
Spaceship Earth
We’re bringing you all the latest updates from EPCOT, including brand new menu items at a popular restaurant and an update on the construction progress at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. There’s so much to see and do at this futuristic-meets-familiar Disney park, so let’s dive in!
With over 200+ restaurants in Disney World, it’s no wonder choosing where to eat during your vacation can be a challenge. And, while you can opt for the big hitters like Be Our Guest Restaurant and Cinderella’s Royal Table, you might want to visit a restaurant that is a bit more low-key that still brags some seriously delicious eats. But, where can you find such a perfect mix?
Ale & Compass!
Well, we’re headed over to Ale & Compass Restaurant in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort to see if it still fits the bill! This underrated spot is a Cape Cod-meets-Gastropub restaurant that features cozy comfort food with a bit of a refined touch. You’ll find it near Yachtsman Steakhouse and Cape May Café and there are a few extensions of the restaurant including the grab-and-go Ale & Compass Market and the bar Ale & Compass Lounge. Now, we usually enjoy this spot a lot, but it’s not super memorable in our book — so, let’s see if Ale & Compass can break the cycle and dazzle us!
How the HECK is March already halfway over?! With so many new announcements in Disney World, time really flies! One minute we’re welcoming the Flower & Garden Festival to EPCOT, and the next we’re checking out the new Space 220 menu. There are lots of changes happening in the parks and resorts right now and we never know what we might find around the corner!
Welcome to Magic Kingdom!
Whether you’re here for the food updates or want to check out the latest merchandise, we’re here to share ALL the updates from Disney World. Let’s take a look at what we found in the Magic Kingdom this week!
Pasta, pizza, and pesto; the winning trio of Italian foods! If you gave up carbs for Lent, we’re sorry to torture you, because what we’re about to discuss is going to involve a lot of those Italian delights. Speaking of carbs, if you’ve been around for a while, you probably know that we LOVE the Via Napoli restaurant in the EPCOT World Showcase — it’s full of incredible homemade pizza. If you, too, find yourself daydreaming about a hearty pasta meal or a cheesy slice of pizza, you’ve come to the right place.
The Italy pavilion is SO beautiful!
We found a new merchandise collection in the Italy pavilion in the EPCOT World Showcase featuring all of our FAVORITE Italian foods. Let’s take a look!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
