food IS a theme park
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!
🛑 STOP. 🛑 You’re thinking of going to visit Disney World in 2022, huh? Well before you put on those Minnie ears and stroll right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A., or scream your heart out on Slinky Dog Dash, there are some things you NEED to know.
Are you ready to GO?!
There’s a LOT to look forward to in Disney World this year. We’ve been holding out for a new rollercoaster for a while now and that’s not all! Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration started on October 1st of 2021, but the party doesn’t show any signs of stopping any time soon. In fact, the 50th Anniversary celebration will run all the way through 2022 into the spring of 2023. With such a long run-time, it’s easy to forget what’s going on with the 50th Anniversary, so we put together a list of ALL our tips, tricks, and guides to help you navigate Disney World in 2022.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! We’re celebrating the lucky holiday by eating (duh!).
We’ve been trying a LOT of green treats lately!
There are a ton of new foods and drinks available in both Disney World and Disneyland, like special cocktails, sweet treats, and even an alarmingly green corn dog (no, seriously!). We’re trying out everything we can, so come along with us to check out another new treat over in Disneyland!
You may not be able to follow a rainbow to a pot of gold on St. Patrick’s Day in Disney World, but you CAN eat plenty of festive holiday treats to celebrate the occasion! Just when we FINALLY started to recover from the wave of blue-dyed treats for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, Disney decided to switch it up and go green for St. Patrick’s Day.
We’ve been trying a LOT of green treats lately!
And, today we’re back at Disney’s Contemporary Resort to try a St. Patrick’s Day cupcake (or should we say ANOTHER St. Patrick’s Day cupcake)!
There are some flavor combinations that seem to be VERY controversial. Are you team pineapple on pizza? Do you mind a little chocolate-covered bacon? What about mint chocolate chip ice cream? No matter where you stand on those great food debates, it’s always fun to see what kind of new treats Disney thinks up! We’ve tasted some WEIRD flavors in our time, but it’s always an adventure!
Caribbean Beach Resort
Over at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, we found a minty new treat that sounds VERY familiar to another dessert we JUST tried in Disney World! Is it worth a visit to the Caribbean Beach? Let’s find out!
You might think that trying to eat at Disney World with dietary restrictions would be super difficult, but there are a TON more options now for all kinds of diets!
Plant-based soft serve in Disney World
There are a lot of items that are gluten free, as well as those that are plant-based, and some vegetarian options. Actually — there’s a whole BOOTH at this year’s EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival that serves plant-based food! But, if you’re looking for some plant-based food that’s not just temporarily in EPCOT, we just tried out 2 dishes over at Sunshine Seasons and are here to give you our honest review!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
