food IS a theme park
If you have a sweet tooth and you’ll be at Downtown Disney soon, then you need to have Disney’s newest candy on your radar!
So many options!
You can fill up a bag or mini trash can at Downtown Disney’s brand-new bulk candy station!
If there’s a new snack in Disney World, you KNOW we’re eager to try it, especially if it looks like it’s going to be absolutely delicious!
Disney Springs!
Over the years, Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs has put out some absolute bangers — gelato-stuffed doughnuts, amazing coffee treats, and just some genuinely good scoops. But now, we’re heading back to this beloved spot to snag a new treat…the Chocolate Crunch Croissant!
It’s no secret that we love the Cake Bake Shop at Disney World. The restaurant and bakery serve high-quality meals and treats on the gorgeous BoardWalk of Crescent Lake!
Apple Crumble Cake
The Cake Bake Shop just added a brand-new cake slice to their fall menu, so we had to run over to the BoardWalk to try it!
Summer is winding down at Disney World, but that doesn’t mean the fun is stopping anytime soon!

Disney just announced a TON of new eats and drinks coming to the parks and beyond, and we’ve got the full list. We can’t wait to try them, and we think you’re going to want to, too!
Can you smell that? The smell of frying oil, salt, and sweets? That’s the smell of the Food & Wine Festival starting in EPCOT!
Brioche aux Epices Avec Une Garniture Mornay de Trois Fromages
The festival runs until November 21st and turns EPCOT into a wonderland of new snacks and drinks to try. This is DFB’s favorite time of the year and when we really bring it all out for the festival. We’ve gone every year since…forever! While we’ll talk about the best food and flavors to try, we also need to talk about prices and the best dishes you can get with a snack credit at the festival.
The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is almost here, and Disney has FINALLY released the menus. The 2026 festival runs from August 27th through November 21st, giving us nearly three months to roam around World Showcase carrying tiny plates, tiny forks, and increasingly complicated opinions about cheese.
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
And this year is a big one. Food & Wine is celebrating its 30th anniversary, with Disney bringing back or reimagining 30 dishes from festivals past. Naturally, we went straight to the menus to see what was new. But we also noticed something very important. A LOT of things we loved in 2025 are coming back.
If you’ve visited Magic Kingdom this summer, you’ve probably seen all the construction happening around the park. In Fantasyland‘s Storybook Circus, popular souvenir store Big Top Souvenirs had been closed since February, and it reopened recently with NEW menu additions!
Big Top Souvenirs
We love going to Big Top Souvenirs for Big Top Treats, its built-in bakery case with a massive selection that rivals Main Street Confectionery and a shorter wait. But now that Big Top Treats has a brand-new menu, we’re trying everything to find out what’s worth your time and money!
The Diamond Horseshoe at Magic Kingdom has undergone a major change this year by transitioning from a table-service restaurant to theater show Jessie’s Roundup for Cool KIDS’ SUMMER.
The Diamond Horseshoe
But believe it or not, The Diamond Horseshoe is changing AGAIN. Disney announced that the Diamond Horseshoe will become a cowboy-themed lounge for a limited time this fall!
It’s no secret that we love the Cake Bake Shop at Disney World. The restaurant and bakery serve high-quality meals and treats on the gorgeous BoardWalk of Crescent Lake!
Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bar
One of our favorite treats from Cake Bake is a fall-exclusive treat, and it was just announced that the Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bar is BACK!
We’re getting excited for the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and we know you guys are too!

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the festival, and there are going to be over 100 new food items and 30 food booths to enjoy.
