food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re checking in to see what’s new at Disney’s Old Key West Resort!
Disney’s Old Key West Resort
We’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, construction, and entertainment updates to share with you. So, let’s dive right on in!
Last month, we learned about a MAJOR update coming to select Disney World Table Service Restaurants. We then noticed that the My Disney Experience app had added Mobile Order to one of our favorite table service spots, Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Olivia’s Cafe
Since then, we’ve noticed two more restaurants pop up with the Mobile Order Table Service To Go feature: Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Resort and The Wave…of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. But now it looks like another restaurant will be getting the feature soon, too!
Can you ever have too many Halloween snacks at Disney World? Survey says…no way!
The Artisan’s Palette
We’ve tried LOTS of pumpkin spice treats, adorable Halloween cupcakes, spooktacular cotton candy, and more! Now, we’ve spotted another Halloween cupcake in Disney World, and we just had to give it a try to see how it stacks up against all the rest!
Halloweentime is in full swing in Disney World and we’ve got MORE treats to try!
Halloween Decorations
We’ve already had a BUNCH of delicious fall and Halloween delights like the Pumpkin Whoopie Pie, the Not So Poison Apple Cupcake, and the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli. Now, we’re trying another Halloween eat — and this one is for the cookie fanatics!
We’ve had all kinds of spooky snacks in the parks in Disney World!
Witch’s Brew
But, Halloween treats are making their way over to the Disney Resort hotels as well. Today, we found some seasonal drink offerings over at Disney’s Old Key West Resort, and you know we HAD to taste one of them!
Ah, Halloween season in Disney World. Is there a better time of year?
Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Balloon Popcorn Bucket
If you’ve been keeping up with DFB, you know we’ve been trying ALL SORTS of delicious Halloween treats in and around the Disney parks — and we’ve been jamming out to the spooky entertainment too! But, that’s not the end of Halloween fun. WAY more Halloween treats are coming to Disney World and we’re taking a first look!
Select Disney World Resort hotels began reopening to Disney World guests on June 22nd. And now we finally have MORE hotel reopening dates! So if you have a Disney resort hotel reservation at one of those hotels that have been in limbo, we’ve got answers for a few of you!

Big news, everybody! We now know MORE about the return of our beloved Disney World restaurants!
Beaches and Cream
Disney World theme parks are set to begin a phased reopening on July 11th, but at the end of this month, signs of guest life will begin returning to Disney World. Disney Vacation Club Resorts and Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will reopen on June 22nd. Now, Disney has released the list of ALL of the RESTAURANTS that will be opening that day!
There is a lot of hustle and bustle in Walt Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
From rushing out the door to get a Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Boarding Group, or perhaps rope-dropping at Magic Kingdom to ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, there is a lot of running around on a Disney vacation! And sometimes, it’s nice to sit back and relax at a slow-paced resort with a good meal!
Enter, Old Key West. This laid-back island resort is the original Disney Vacation Club property, and it’s themed to one of the world’s most relaxing destinations: Key West! While Old Key West is a DVC resort, anyone can stay there (space available), and more importantly (for our purposes), anyone can eat there! Old Key West is home to a few underrated gems — such as the hole-in-the-wall Gurgling Suitcase or the delightfully quaint Olivia’s Cafe! That’s where we slowed down and had lunch recently — read on for our full review and to see why Olivia’s is a great under-the-radar spot for a relaxing meal!
