16 NEW Food and Drinks Arrived in Disney World This Week

By Leave a Comment

Now that we’re into the second week of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, things are a little quiet in Disney World, at least on the food front. However, that’s not to say that we haven’t enjoyed some new food (and old favorites) this week anyway. When we’re in Disney World, we are GOING to eat, y’all.

Mickey Espresso Cupcake

So we visited Disney Springs to check out a new s’mores-inspired cake, tried some donut holes on skewers, grabbed some new treats in Magic Kingdom, and checked out a new menu at a Disney World hotel restaurant. That’s not all, though. We also noticed some changes happening at Disney World restaurants…so let’s see what menus are different this week!

Starbucks Reveals NEW Secret Menu Item

By Leave a Comment

Here at Disney Food Blog, there’s only one thing we love more than Disney food – Disney drinks! Grabbing an iced refresher on a hot day is our favorite guilty pleasure. And since there’s a Starbucks in all four parks and Disney Springs, they keep our caffeine addiction going from rope drop to fireworks.

Caramel Protein Latte

A lot of people don’t know that the Disney Starbucks has the same customizable menu as the Starbucks in your neighborhood. Plus, Disney Parks’ Starbucks often keeps seasonal flavors like pumpkin or caramel brûlée in stock when your local Starbucks runs out (they still had pumpkin spice lattes on New Year’s Day). The sky’s the limit!

Major EPCOT Ride Closure Starts TOMORROW

By Leave a Comment

Let it go! Let it go! Can’t hold it back anymore…and neither can Disney because Frozen Ever After is closing down for a huge refurbishment.

Frozen Ever After is one of my favorite rides in all of EPCOT ever since it opened in 2016 (rest in peace Maelstrom), and I don’t care that it’s almost always busy — I can’t go to EPCOT and not ride it! I’m okay with skipping this ride for a bit because the updates are SO worth the closure.

My Friend Wants to Book a Fancy Dinner on a Budget, So I Sent Her These 5 Disney World Restaurants

By Leave a Comment

Walt Disney World offers a litany of dining options across the property’s theme parks, resort hotels, and the Disney Springs shopping district. While the wide variety of options is welcome, it can sometimes be overwhelming for first-time visitors.

Fancy

For example, if one wanted to have a “fancy” meal in a relatively upscale setting at Walt Disney World without breaking the bank at one of the resort’s (comparatively) priciest restaurants? Well, luckily, that’s where we come in!

By Leave a Comment

If you were planning on spending a relaxing day by the pool at Disney World, you need to know about another Disney World hotel pool closure that is starting this week!
