food IS a theme park
March was a BIG month of news for Disney World and lots of news can sometimes make for surprises!
Walt Disney World
From dining changes to health measure updates and more, let’s take a look at the four most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
🌟 NEW. NEW. NEW. 🌟 If you haven’t been to Disney World in the last few months (even the last few weeks!), there are a lot of NEW things for you to check out. We’ve seen new merchandise, new snacks, work on new attractions, and more all happening throughout the parks. And now a truly iconic spot in the parks has some new things too!
Hollywood Studios
There are some Disney World restaurants that many people consider to be classics or must-dos on their trips. ‘Ohana, Le Cellier, and even Via Napoli are some of the ones you may have on your own list. Another spot that often falls into that category is The Hollywood Brown Derby in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! This restaurant serves up some famous items like their Cobb Salad and grapefruit cake. Maybe you’ve been here before and are thinking “I’ve already seen what this spot has to offer.” If that’s the case…you’d be WRONG. NEW eats have hit the menu at this spot and they’re some you won’t want to miss!
If you know us, you know that we are MAJOR foodies. But we don’t just eat all this stuff for the fun of it. We review every single restaurant in Disney World because we want to make sure that you, our readers, know what to order, what’s worth the money, and what you can skip!
No offense, Sonny!
We have seen and eaten it ALL (We’re talking full fish with the bones and all and cheese that’s literally on FIRE), so when we tell you that we recommend a restaurant in the Magic Kingdom, you know it has to be pretty good! Today, we’re taking a trip back in time and visiting Liberty Square to see if Sleepy Hollow Refreshments is worth a visit.
One of our favorite parks when it comes to food in Disney World is actually Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We know most people think of EPCOT when they think of great food in Disney World (and we don’t disagree!), but there are several underrated spots over in the wildest park.
Animal Kingdom
Whether you’re looking for cheeseburger bao buns, giant pretzels, or amazing bread and dips, Animal Kingdom has got you covered. We’re heading to one of those underrated restaurants today to check out the incredible theming and high-end food. So is this spot worth the high price tag that comes with it? Let’s find out.

Disney World is all chicken tenders, fries, burgers, churros, and ice cream sandwiches, right? WRONG. VERY, VERY WRONG.
🎶 Out of the sun, we’ll be havin’ some fun…🎶 you know the rest
Sure, we love ourselves a good funnel cake or giant Mickey waffle, but if you’re looking for a more elevated dining experience (we’re talking Pork Belly, Seafood Pearl Pasta, and more!) then we’ve found just the place for you. It can fall under the radar for most folks though. Have you stopped by to eat at this somewhat hidden BoardWalk spot? Should you make it a must-do on your next trip? We’ve got THOUGHTS.
Feeling hungry? Well, get ready to drool. We’ve seen many things return to Disney World in recent months, like certain restaurants, nightlife, and even spas reopening.
Flying Fish has reopened at Disney’s BoardWalk!
And, the returns won’t be slowing down any time soon — the parade and stage show are coming back to Magic Kingdom, Fantasmic! will be reopening in Hollywood Studios, and popular restaurants like Jiko at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge are scheduled to reopen soon. At Disney’s Yacht Club, we just saw the breakfast buffet return to Ale & Compass Restaurant, but that’s not all — LUNCH is also back at Ale & Compass and we went over to check it out so we could give you a full review. So, come along with us to see if this returned lunch service is worth leaving the Disney parks!
EPCOT is known for having a LOT of delicious food. The countries around World Showcase each have some tasty dishes inspired by authentic cuisine from those cultures. Or you can visit during a festival (like the upcoming International Festival of the Arts) to find even more options at festival booths around the park.
EPCOT’s World Showcase has some very delicious food
With so many different options available, is it worth it to have a sit-down meal at a restaurant with a much less exotic menu? What if we told you that Mickey would be there? And that the entire restaurant is actually spinning? We’re visiting Garden Grill today to see if this spot is worth a visit in the best Disney World park for food. [Read more…]
We’re heading to the BoardWalk cause Trattoria al Forno is changing things up!
Trattoria Al Forno
Recently, the restaurant introduced TWO new menus! Now, obviously, we had to go check out the changes. Luckily, we were able to get in for dinner to try the new eats!
Splitsville Luxury Lanes in Disney Springs isn’t your typical stinky shoe bowling alley with sticky floors and day-old hot dogs…
Mickey and Minnie Bowling Balls at Splitsville
…it’s a fancy retro bowling alley with leveled-up menu and a total party vibe. (Oh, and it doesn’t stink either!) Ok, so it doesn’t offer exotic flavors like its neighbor Jaleo. It doesn’t have romantic sweeping views of Disney Springs like Paddlefish either. Instead, it offers a HUGE menu with BIG portions that match the incredibly fun atmosphere. Also, they have sushi. Normally, we wouldn’t dare to try sushi from a bowling alley. Splitsville is very different though! With so much great food in Disney Springs, we often overlook this retro-but-make-it-new bowling joint. In fact, we haven’t had a full meal here in a few years. Take a look at how the restaurant and entertainment venue holds up against other Disney Springs restaurants!
EPCOT is a treasure trove of dishes and drinks inspired by countries from around the world. If you’re looking to break away from burgers and chicken tenders of Disney World you can find some really stellar food.
La Hacienda d San Angel
One Pavilion positively brimming with flavorful food and drinks is the Mexico Pavilion. And that’s where we’re headed. But stop! We’re not going in the big pyramid. Nope, we’re headed waterfront to dine at this Pavilion’s SECOND, newer sit-down restaurant. For those of you interested in a little spice with a side of atmosphere, come this way!
