food IS a theme park
Happy Thanksgiving from Disney World, friends!
The Edison
The Most Magical Place on Earth is one of the best places to celebrate the holidays, and we’re glad we got to have a Thanksgiving meal here this year! While Disney is offering several Thanksgiving meal options around the parks and property, we decided to try out the holiday offering at The Edison today!
Rainforest Cafe is a great spot at Disney World to see some nearly realistic animals (besides at the Jungle Cruise, of course).
Rainforest Cafe at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This jungle-themed restaurant can be found at both Disney Springs and Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Because we’re obsessed with food (obviously), we’ve noticed that its menu has undergone some updates and price changes so we’re here to share them with you!
Ever since Disney World re-opened, we’ve been daydreaming about the day that we’d be able to get ‘Ohana’s Bread Pudding once again.
‘Ohana Bread Pudding with Sauce
You guys already know how we feel about all that pineapple bread, ice cream, and banana caramel sauce (we’re about to go into a food coma just thinking about it). While the Bread Pudding was originally exclusive to ‘Ohana, we’ve seen it pop up at the Tambu Lounge and even as an option in the $60 room-service Twilight Feast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in the past.
But, this epic Bread Pudding has NOT yet shown up ANYWHERE Disney World reopened…UNTIL TODAY. We have INCREDIBLE news for our fellow Bread Pudding devotees!
We’re still full from the massive list of holiday treats that we ate in Disney World (and they were worth every bite).
McDonald’s Happy Meal
But, we can’t help but look forward to our next great meal in or out of the parks! 😉 Restaurants like McDonald’s have made a home for themselves as Disney continues to expand its property. And, White Castle has announced that it will also be bringing its ONLY Florida location right nearby the Disney World resort area!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
And, we’ve got plenty of entertainment, merchandise, and food updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
This week has been busy in the parks and online as there was a bit of a misstep on the Disney World dining reservation page. This past Tuesday, there was a VERY surprising amount of availability for popular restaurants whose bookings tend to sell out quickly.
Hot Chocolate Flight
After many guests made reservations for spots like Be Our Guest and Chef Mickey’s (including us!), the site went down with technical difficulties. We later shared that these surprise reservations were ultimately released due to a glitch and would be canceled.
We’re at the start of a brand new week, and we think that’s a great reason to treat yourself!
Hippy Dippy Area
Everything POP is also bringing back two menu items that are worth the carb overload.
While we’ve been exploring multiple quick-service and table-service restaurants that have re-opened around Disney World, it’s always important to return to an old favorite. We do this to make sure we have the most updated experience possible to share with you as you’re making your dining decisions for Disney World!
Garden Grill Restaurant
Garden Grill Restaurant has practically been a staple at EPCOT’s Land Pavilion since the theme park first opened — back when it was known as the Good Turn Restaurant and later the Land Grille Room. With its rotating dining room and great home-cooked food (some of which is grown right in the Pavilion!) it makes us feel like we’re having Thanksgiving year-round.
Right now, it’s one of the ONLY true character dining experiences available in the theme parks (you can meet several characters at Hollywood Studios’ Hollywood and Vine right now, and glimpse Beast at Be Our Guest Restaurant and Cindy at Cinderella’s Royal Table, but that’s it in the parks ATM)! We wanted to see how our past experiences at the restaurant stacked up to the new modified meal!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Well, not in the era of COVID-19, we shouldn’t.
Cast member making a Kitchen SInk
The latest sign of increased safety measures at Disney World? A reimagined sundae experience at one of our favorite ice cream shops!
Bars had to close temporarily due to the global health crisis. This regulation affected many bars at Walt Disney World.
Dockside Margaritas
Dockside Margaritas initially reopened with the rest of Disney Springs then had to shutter their windows immediately once the new regulation was in order. Flash forward to today when Florida bars can reopen at 50% capacity. We just learned that the little-Marg-stand-that-could has reopened!
