food IS a theme park
Which Disney resort has better food: Disneyland or Disney World?
Mickey Beignets
It’s a question that we could probably debate for hours, but at the end of the day, there are some pretty great options at both! And, thankfully, they both have some of the same items, too — like Dole Whip, soft pretzels, and beignets. There’s often some exciting things happening with food over at Disneyland, and a bunch of restaurants are about to get some new items!
Disney World changes their menus pretty often, but a lot of the changes can be subtle, so they’re kind of hard to notice if you just visit the parks occasionally.

But, it’s important to keep up with them so that the next time you visit you aren’t surprised by your favorite menu item no longer being available (ugh, isn’t that the worst?). So, let’s take a look at all of the menu changes in Disney World from this week!
Navigating a reopened Disney World can be a tricky challenge! It can certainly feel like things are constantly changing in the parks these days.
Disney World
How many people are allowed in? Will our favorite snacks be available? What time do the parks even close!? It can be hard to keep track! We don’t want these changes to catch you unaware, so we’re taking a look at three NEW Disney World trip mistakes that you’re totally not expecting and how to avoid them!
In recent years, Disney has been adding more diet-friendly items to their menus all throughout Walt Disney World. Disney has also made plant-based items extra easy to find with a little green leaf icon on their menus!

But now we’re learning that Disney has plans to offer even MORE plant-based options for us to enjoy at home!

Greetings from Disney’s Old Key West Resort! This week we stopped by to check out the lunch options at The Gurgling Suitcase! The Gurgling Suitcase is a relaxing respite in Disney World, and they didn’t always serve food (though you could order from Olivia’s). But for a few years now they have their very own menu!
The Gurgling Suitcase
It’s already super hot in Florida so we were excited to swing by for a quick bite and cold drink! By the way, did you know the Gurgling Suitcase got its name from people trying to smuggle alcohol from Cuba into Key West in their luggage? Inspectors would shake the suitcases to see if the “gurgled” — hence the name The Gurgling Suitcase. Always so clever, Disney.
It’s time to make another stop into Disney’s Hollywood Studios where construction continues in earnest on three BIG projects! Plus we’ve got a little merchandise and menu update! Come along with us, superstars!
There’s progress on construction right at the entrance to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but there’s a bit of debate about what this will be.

The cast member we spoke to this week said it’s extra bag check space in anticipation of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. [Read more…]
On December 3rd, Intermission Food Court at Disney’s All Star Music Resort reopened after a four-month long refurbishment.
We were excited to see the results, and — of course — excited to taste the food! We shared a photo tour of the whole space just after the food court reopened. But there was so much to see that we couldn’t fit it all in one post. So today we’re back at Intermission Food Court to explore the food options a little more in depth, from a full rundown of the menus to sampling a few of the items ourselves (as we so love to do!).
Still, just as a reminder, we’ll begin by taking a quick peek at the updated design of Intermission Food Court.
For those familiar with the All Star Food Courts, you’ll notice the changes immediately. First off, bold primary colors have given way to earth tones.

The larger-than-life murals of musicians are gone, but that doesn’t mean the nods to music have disappeared… they’re just more subtle. Some of my favorite features include the guitar fret wall, the “drum kit” over the beverage station, and the woodwind instruments surrounding the Singing Spirits Bar.

And, of course, some Disney pals have joined in on the fun, too…

But now it’s time to explore the food options a little more in depth, so here we go!
Let’s take the food court station by station… and grab a bite or two while we’re at it ;). We aimed to get a small sampling from each station — or “shop” — on our visit, but I don’t want to miss the chance to point out the Pizza and Pasta Shop, which was one station we didn’t try.

So, yeah, there’s pizza here ;). Or you can grab a Hot Italian Sub. The pasta might be the more noteworthy option, though, since [Read more…]
