food IS a theme park
Disneyland is currently celebrating its 70th anniversary!
70th Anniversary Castle Tribute in Disneyland
The original Disney park is celebrating from May 16th, 2025, until summer 2026, and it’s bringing back fun parades, tons of souvenirs, and, of course, many, many snacks! One of our favorite Disneyland snacks got a makeover for the event, and we are seeing how it holds up.
You have probably heard of The Grey Stuff a couple of times, and if you haven’t, you should “try The Grey Stuff, it’s delicious!”

We even have a recipe right here, so you can whip some of it up at home! You can usually grab The Grey Stuff from Red Rose Taverne in Disneyland Park (or Be Our Guest in Disney World). We have seen it get a twist at Red Rose Taverne before, like this Halloween Grey Stuff. And now, it got another twist, so we had to check it out!
Disney World is making some changes, y’all.
Gaston’s Tavern
The 50th anniversary JUST ended, but EVERYTHING seems different now. Park maps have changed, a store got a huge update, and Magician Mickey has made a big comeback. Something else has ALSO made a comeback and we’re checking it out!
If you ask a Disney World vacationer about the restaurants that they feel they absolutely HAVE to visit, there’s one spot that will likely come up in the conversation.
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Be Our Guest Restaurant has been one of Disney World’s most popular restaurants ever since it opened back in 2012. We’ve been many times in the last decade, but is it REALLY worth the hefty price for the experience? Things have changed a lot here since 2020, and we’re going back to bring you our honest thoughts.
Many of us have tried the Grey Stuff recipe (it’s delicious), and we’ve been patiently waiting for a new Beauty and the Beast treat to try at home!

Our patience was rewarded, and we were gifted an enchanting new recipe that D23 released!
More so than probably ANY place on Earth, Disney World is a MECCA of iconic snacks and treats! From Mickey Pretzels to Dole Whips, it’s the ULTIMATE noshing paradise!
We love you so much
This is all well and good, but it poses a conundrum for those of us with limited time in Disney World. Which snacks are absolute MUSTS?! If you’ve got a limited budget OR limited time, listen up! [Read more…]
We’ve been trying all of Disneyland’s new holiday treats and this one is a holiday twist on a Disney classic!
Red Rose Tavern
So far we’ve tried Peppermint Beignets, a Peppermint Shake, a Churro Funnel Cake (!!), and more. Now we’re here with another holiday treat that Beauty and the Beast fans will probably want to try! [Read more…]
We’re at the Disneyland Resort today checking out all of the newest Halloween offerings, including a ton of their seasonal snacks! We already checked out their Trick-or-Treat Sundae and the Pumpkin Cheesecake Funnel Cake, and now we’re heading over to Fantasyland to dine at Red Rose Taverne!

As the name implies, Red Rose Taverne is inspired by Beauty and the Beast, and this is where you’ll find the famous Grey Stuff! This fall, however, the iconic Disney dessert is taking on a Halloween twist!

Bonjour, ma chère and mon cher! “It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you” to Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom!
From the day it opened as part of New Fantasyland in November 2012, Be Our Guest Restaurant has been and remains one of the most in-demand dining experiences in Disney World. From the onset, it was unlike any other restaurant in Disney World, offering a variety of dining experiences (based on the time of day: breakfast, lunch, or dinner) in a setting plucked straight out of one of the most beloved Disney animated films, Beauty and the Beast.
The demand for Be Our Guest is rivaled, in fact, only by a meal at that other Castle in Magic Kingdom 😉 — Cinderella’s Royal Table. And much like we did when we discussed Cinderella’s Royal Table recently, we asked our readers to share some of the struggles (or “fails”) that they’ve experienced at Be Our Guest Restaurant in the hopes of helping future visitors feel better prepared for what to expect and consider if this is truly the best option for their vacation dining choices.
So grab your enchanted mirror — since I know you keep one handy! — and gaze with us into this remarkable setting… [Read more…]
Disneyland might still be closed, but for wistful Californians, that doesn’t mean you can’t still get your Disney dessert fix!

At B Sweet in Los Angeles, they’re serving a menu of incredible sounding Disney-inspired desserts for a limited time, including fun takes on The Grey Stuff and Dole Whip!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
