food IS a theme park
Dining in Disney is one of our favorite things (obviously, that’s our whole job)!
Skipper Canteen
There are tons of wonderful restaurants to experience around Disney World, Disneyland, and beyond. If you love Disney food as much as we do, then you’re probably just as excited as we are about the new restaurants Disney has announced. Let’s do a quick recap and run through them all!
Disney’s BoardWalk has seen some changes recently, with even more to come.
Disney’s BoardWalk
When we heard The Cake Bake Shop was coming to Disney World, we were beyond excited! Sweet and savory menus, afternoon tea service, a whimsical atmosphere…who wouldn’t be excited?! So, in preparation for the opening of this new restaurant, we interviewed the owner, Gwendolyn Rogers, and took a look at what the menu and pricing could be. The restaurant was supposed to open in 2023, but now we just got word that is not happening.
How do you start your Disney day?
COFFEE
If enjoying a cup of coffee and a pastry at your hotel before you head to the parks is an important part of your itinerary, you might want to keep reading. A newer coffee shop in Disney World is going through a short closure this week. Don’t let it catch you off guard on your upcoming trip!
Disney World is getting a few NEW restaurants soon, but one spot could become especially popular!
Panko-Crusted Pickle Dog
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs already operates a kiosk in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District and it is home to the controversial PICKLE corn dog (among other unique creations!). But soon this corn dog paradise will be making its way to Disney World and we’ve got some updates!
Did you know that a champagne bar 🥂 is coming to Disney World?? Talk about the ULTIMATE way to celebrate big!
Seating at the Cake Bake Shop in Indianapolis
There are all kinds of bars in Disney World already — you can visit Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto for an exciting island-themed experience, head over to Wine Bar George to check out a wine list curated by Master Sommelier George Miliotes, or even visit the AbracadaBar for an evening filled with magic tricks and artistic cocktails. But a NEW restaurant opening this year is going to bring the first champagne bar to Disney’s BoardWalk, and we’re more than a little excited to check it out. [Read more…]
Hold up, this might be the best Disney snack news we hear all year!
The Boardwalk
We’re getting so excited about the addition of The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn restaurants and have been anxiously tracking its construction progress. We also saw a complete retheming to the relatively new Boardwalk Deli that was transformed from the Boardwalk Bakery. Now, we’re learning of another snack spot that will soon call the Boardwalk “home”! [Read more…]
So, you’ve spent the day in Disney World and are watching the sunset from Disney’s BoardWalk.
Disney’s BoardWalk
After working up an appetite from walking around the parks all day, you decide to grab a bite to eat before calling it a night. Where do you go? There are some great places to check out in the area — Flying Fish offers up some impressive seafood, you can find a simpler meal and some delicious pastries at BoardWalk Deli, and soon, the whimsical Cake Bake Shop will be opening for brunch, lunch, and dinner. But, if you’re in the mood for some Italian fare, Trattoria al Forno fits the bill. They recently reopened after a short refurbishment, so I decided to stop by for dinner to check it out. Come see how it went!
Trattoria al Forno is a popular dining spot located on Disney’s BoardWalk, serving up Italian-inspired cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Disney’s BoardWalk
Trattoria recently closed for some refurbishments, and Disney stated that guests could expect the restaurant to be closed from June 11th to June 17th, 2023. In the meantime, guests have been able to enjoy the restaurant’s limited breakfast menu while using Flying Fish’s dining room. We made dining reservations for Trattoria al Forno for June 19th, hoping to check out the recent changes and see if there were any menu updates. But we just got a phone call from Disney, and it was NOT what we wanted to hear! 😥
Just when you get comfortable navigating the parks, Disney switches things up on you. Just when you finally thought you understood the rules of Genie+, we find an exception. Let’s be real; things change in Disney World all the time.
Disney’s BoardWalk
Right now, there’s a TON of construction going on both in the parks and around various resorts, which can cause a lot of things to change. While we were walking around Disney’s BoardWalk Inn recently, we noticed that a popular pizza spot temporarily MOVED.
If you’ve visited Disney’s BoardWalk, you’ve probably visited or at least heard of Trattoria al Forno, a restaurant that specializes in Italian cuisine and even has a giant pizza oven where visitors can see the food being prepared. (There’s even a spot where you can walk up and grab some pizza — quick-service style!)
I spy some pizza in there!
The BoardWalk is a fan-favorite area at Disney World, as it’s curated to feel like a vintage New England boardwalk while still having subtle elements of Disney magic. It’s gone under quite a lot of construction lately to allow for new additions as well as refurbishments. This week, Trattoria al Forno will close for the same reason!
