Review and Photos: Anandapur Local Food Cafes (AKA Yak and Yeti Counter Service) in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Hello from Asia in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We got so excited seeing Kevin from Up that we worked up an appetite!

Kevin from UP is now in Animal Kingdom!

It’s been a while since we’ve stopped at Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes, so we decided to swing by for a quick lunch.

Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe

As, the menu suggests, Yak & Yeti features “tasty food,” which, in this case, is Asian cuisine. One of the best things about this spot is the large portions — you certainly get a good bang for your buck. (or dining plan!)

Yak & Yeti Menu

We decided to go for the Teriyaki Beef Bowl and Vegetable Tikka Masala. We also had to stop by the awesome condiment cart, which truly is one of the best reasons to dine here. There’s a large and unique variety of sauces — from soy sauce to duck sauce.

By AJ and the DFB Team 6 Comments

If the name ABC Commissary conjures up memories of average meals scarfed down in a noisy dining room, we hear ya. But Disney’s Hollywood Studios is constantly revamping menus, so we stopped in to try a few new-to-us dinner options. And we gotta say: we were pretty surprised by what we found!

ABC Commissary

At present, ABC Commissary is offering slightly different menus for lunch and dinner. [Read more…]

Check Out This INSANE Cupcake Creation from Cafe Rix at Disney World’s Coronado Springs Resort!

By DFB Sarah 2 Comments

Cafe Rix at Walt Disney World’s Coronado Springs Resort

is the hotel’s quick service and grab-and-go dining location. The pastry case here is usually a little above-par for a hotel food court, but this latest cupcake… takes the cake. And the dropper. And the buttercream. It just takes it all.

Entry to Cafe Rix

Our Insta-pal @mrs.everydaymommy shared the Mocha Cupcake (at least…that’s what we’re calling it — there wasn’t a sign ;-D) with us, and we’re jazzed that she did. [Read more…]

By AJ and the DFB Team Leave a Comment

Just a few days ago we let you in on the newest undead mug gracing the shelves of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at Disneyland (click here to read all about it!), and now our Insta-pal @mugs_of_disney has given us a detailed look at the latest Shrunken Head Zombie Mug — available now at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Walt Disney World!

Trader Sam’s Zombie Mug

This is a delightfully gory design, with stitched eyes and mouth, lots of hairy-looking marks on the face, and decorative piercings on the front and back. [Read more…]

Exclusive Chocolate Specialty Beer at Disneyland’s Ballast Point!

By AJ and the DFB Team Leave a Comment

Ballast Point

opened just under a month ago in Downtown Disney, making it the first on-site brewery at Disneyland Resort. And not surprisingly this hip new spot is crafting beer just for the Disney park! They’ve produced several exclusive beers for this location, and now Ballast Point’s Instagram has highlighted another specialty Disney beer: Chocolat.

Disney Springs Construction UPDATE: Progress on Jaleo’s Pepe and NBA Experience Takes Shape!

By AJ and the DFB Team Leave a Comment

Construction continues in earnest in Disney Springs’ West Side

, where we’re eagerly awaiting the completion of the NBA Experience and Jaleo — with its quick service appendage Pepe. There’s been a lot of progress on both — including glorious copper-colored roofing at Jaleo!

Jaleo Construction

How amazing is this roof design? The color seems to mimic Spanish roof tiles (concept art seemed to indicate a much more yellow/gold roof, so we’ll keep an eye on this), while the layers create visual interest.

Jaleo Construction

Large lettering will spell J-A-L-E-O on windows spanning the entire building, and those seem to be up and completed! [Read more…]

Review and Food Photos: Brand New Menu at B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Company in Disney Springs!

By AJ and the DFB Team 2 Comments

B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Company

, a food kiosk located in Disney World’s Disney Springs, is known for a menu of — what else! — sausages! And recently the menu was overhauled to include a few brand new sausage options.

B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co.

We tried versions of a couple of the new options way back when B.B. Wolf’s first opened (click here to see: they were just Three Little Pigs at that time!). [Read more…]

You HAVE To See These New Pastries At Disney World’s Trolley Car Cafe!

By AJ and the DFB Team 5 Comments

When you think about fine pastries at Walt Disney World, you probably think of Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in Epcot’s France, where napoleons and eclairs seem right at home. Or Amorette’s Patisserie, where everything is perfectly crafted into a work of art. But Trolley Car Café, the last bastion of pastries in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, has introduced new pastries that will transport you to France via Hollywood Boulevard.

We spotted these new pastries this afternoon, and we had to share them with you ASAP. [Read more…]

Cool Off with Shave Ice in Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom!

By DFB Sarah Leave a Comment

We’ve all been there: It’s a screaming hot day at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, and our schedule for the day doesn’t get us out of the sun’s persistent rays for long stretches of time. We’re having a blast (of course!), but we’re about to melt. Enter: Shave Ice!

Animal Kingdom Shave Ice

This sweet and icy treat has been a seasonal part of the Animal Kingdom food scene for a couple of years, and it can now be found in the area of Harambe Market (not to be mistaken for Harambe Fruit Market closer to Kilimanjaro Safari). It shows up every once in a while — it’s not guaranteed to be there on your visit — and when it does, it’s usually a hot day, making Shave Ice very welcome! [Read more…]
