food IS a theme park
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Well, not in the era of COVID-19, we shouldn’t.

The latest sign of increased safety measures at Disney World? A reimagined sundae experience at one of our favorite ice cream shops!
We’ve been busy gettin’ our grub on since Disney Springs re-opened! So far, we’ve re-visited old favorites like Homecomin’, Planet Hollywood, and Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar. Now, we’re BACK exploring one of Disney Springs’ newest restaurants, City Works Eatery & Pour House.
City Works Eatery & Pour House
The sports bar is located right next to The NBA Experience on the Westside of Disney Springs. While the NBA Experience hasn’t re-opened quite yet, the dinner we had at City Works was nearly a SLAM DUNK.
Update: ON June 26th, Due to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation banning the consumption of alcohol at bars, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar was closed. However, the location was able to reopen on July 6th.
Since Disney Springs began its phased reopening back in May, we’ve been eating our way around the newly reopened restaurants. And Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar has now joined the list of locations that have welcomed back guests!
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar
We’ve already had the chance to check out fan-favorite spots like Morimoto Asia, The Polite Pig, The Boathouse, and more. And with awesome theming, fun specialty drinks, and inventive appetizers, we were eager to see how Jock Lindsey’s stacks up!
If you’ve been following along at DFB for a while, you know that Via Napoli stole a pizza our hearts from the beginning. Even though there are plenty of exotic foods all around the World Showcase in Epcot, we find ourselves being drawn back to their classic Italian dishes time and again.
Via Napoli
It’s like a trusted friend or coming home after a long time away — it’s become a reliable and comfortable staple for us. So you won’t be surprised that we snuck another trip back to Via Napoli into our last trip to Disney World! We are reporting back on whether one of our favorite pizza spots lived up to our cheesy expectations!
Disneyland is full of delicious eats and treats, but the Disneyland Hotel holds a special place in our hearts.
Steakhouse 55 Located Inside the Disneyland Hotel
Recently, Heather and fam (heeeyyyyy @diningindisney!) stopped by the Steakhouse 55 to dig into a delicious 3-course dinner. And, we’re taking you with us!!
We’ve been hard at work in the parks scoping out all the latest news for you! First, a few things to remember…

OK, I know most people probably don’t think it’s fun to write a blog post on Christmas Eve while their family is playing games at the kitchen table, but 1) I don’t want to play Minecraft on their giant family realm, and 2) THIS IS SUCH GOOD NEWS I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF!!! I get to tell you ab0ut BEACHES AND CREAM reopening and that is the best. Christmas. present. ever.
Beaches and Cream
Now, yes, I did mention that our amazing DFB reporting team was spending the holidays at HOME with their FAMILIES; but it just so happened that one of our incredible team members swung by the Boardwalk in Disney World after all and was delighted to pop into Beaches and Cream for their soft opening today! Win-win!
We’re feeling quite fancy this morning as we take a jaunt over to the European Riviera.
Topolino’s Terrace
At least we feel that way because Disney’s Riviera Resort is OPEN today! We’re live from the opening of the NEWEST Disney World Resort hotel and we’re checking out everything there is to see and do over at Riviera.
Of course, that means we’re also stopping by Topolino’s Terrace — Flavors of the Riviera to do a FULL REVIEW of their Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends experience, and you’ll definitely see some familiar faces.
