food IS a theme park
Our days usually feel a lot better when we start off with a tasty meal!
The most important meal of the day!

Hello, from Disney’s Yacht Club Resort!
Ale & Compass sign
We decided to try breakfast at the table-service location Ale & Compass on our recent trip to Disney World. This restaurant is known for coastal, New-England style cuisine. We haven’t been blown away by this location in the past so we wanted to see how breakfast was holding up.

Whispering Canyon Cafe is a casual table service restaurant located just off the lobby at Walt Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge, and it’s known for its antics that are decidedly not whispering. But you might recall that a couple of years ago the Canyon reportedly grew quieter — check out the changes here!
Whispering Canyon Cafe
I revisited after the changes were made and found the restaurant’s energy to be a shadow of its former self (click here to find out why!) But since then, Whispering Canyon Cafe introduced new skillets, so we’re back again! [Read more…]
Disney knows its foodie fans are always trying to recreate their favorites at home, so they’ve sent us a gift: food recipes.
French Loaf and Olive Oil
And while we are SO appreciative that they’re thinking of us, we couldn’t help but notice they’ve missed the mark JUST A TOUCH in the recipes they’ve been sharing.
We have shared Disney’s recipe for a “frozen pineapple treat,” and while we love a good “frozen pineapple treat” as much as the next person, Dole Whip, this wasn’t. That got us thinking…what other iconic Disney recipes can we share with our readers? We have a few we think you’re REALLY gonna love.
You know that feeling when you put on your outfit for the day, smell the fresh morning air, and grab one of your favorite Disney breakfasts?? (We’re talking about bliss, people!)
Well, even if you can’t be in the parks right now, you can still bring a little bit of that Disney magic into your kitchen back home with the BEST breakfast recipes to make your morning brighter!

As you might’ve guessed, Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast features characters in their beach finest (you’ll see them in a bit!). [Read more…]
The Grand Floridian Cafe in Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is known for its relatively understated decor (free of Disney characters and over-the-top styling) and its relaxing atmosphere. But there’s one thing here that’s not at all understated: the food!

Last fall, I shared the Lobster Thermidor and the Floridian Pancakes, both of which were fantastic, and just a couple of months ago we let you in on a little chicken-and-waffles hack.
