food IS a theme park
It’s the circle of SNACKS!
Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom is our hidden gem for incredible snacks and treats, and with these five new bites, you’re going to want to run to Disney World right now (but you’ll probably want to come on an empty stomach).
Well, it has CERTAINLY been a big week for Disney World news, right?
Pinocchio Cookie Tart
We finally got LOADS of new details about the Cars expansion coming to Frontierland, including that it will be called Piston Peak, and that it will introduce some new characters into the Cars universe (now if only Disney would drop some hints about what kind of FOOD this expansion will have — we have questions!). Anyway, speaking of food, we’ve been monitoring menu changes at Disney World restaurants all week, so let’s take a look at what’s been updated.
Hello from (sometimes) sunny Florida! We’ve been at Disney World all week just checking up on things and eating all the food (so normal week for us).
Cheers!
That includes a new treat from The Cake Bake Shop, getting ready to eat ALL the Easter snacks that will be hitting Disney World soon, revisiting one of our favorite restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and trying three Disney Springs restaurants AT ONCE (because that’s how we roll). We also kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus this week, and we’ve got some changes to report.
Well, Disney World has certainly surprised us when comes to food this week.
Dark Chocolate Cone
First, we got to eat the Riviera Cookie Skillet at Disney’s Riviera Resort, which we’ve dubbed the “Pizookie” and it was EVERYTHING we’d hoped for. Then we scratched our head over the Dark Chocolate Cone we had in Disney Springs because its name is a little misleading. Then there was the Charcuterie Croissant, also in Disney Springs, which is just as amazing as it sounds. Now, we’re looking at Disney World restaurant menus and checking for changes.
Okay, so it’s no secret that we love Dole Whip, pretty much in all its forms. It’s rare when we meet a Dole Whip we don’t like (although don’t get us wrong — it has happened).
Tamu Tamu
Now, what can plus up a Dole Whip? Well, if you answered booze, you’re OUR KIND OF PEOPLE. So we discovered that a variant of a boozy Dole Whip that we’ve previously had in Disney Springs had made its way to Animal Kingdom. OBVIOUSLY, we had to get it. But that’s not all because we also ordered a drink that may have just become our new favorite flavor combo in Disney World. We have SO MUCH to tell you about these two drinks.
The latest treats at Disney World seem to be fit for a king!
Regal meal!
With all of the latest buzz surrounding Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King feature film in theaters, we figured it was only a matter of time until we saw the movie reflected in the Disney World parks. We knew to anticipate a few new treats coming (with one we already were raving about) but no one could have prepared us for the tasty journey we were about to embark on!
Happy holidays, DFB friends! Yep, it’s officially the holiday season in Disney World and we’re ready to eat all the holiday snacks and go to the first Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Eats in Animal Kingdom
It’s been quite a week in Disney World. We just got word that NEW gingerbread displays are coming to Disney World this holiday season (we can’t wait!). We got details on a fun Diwali fest that’s coming to Disney Springs. Holiday decorations have officially appeared in Magic Kingdom (cue Mariah Carey). However, we’ve also seen some Disney World restaurant menus change, and that’s what we want to tell you about.
Well, it has been QUITE a week in Disney World, hasn’t it?
Cuban Sandwich with fries at Restaurantosaurus
This week, we saw an announcement about a brand-new Lightning Lane Premier Pass (and let’s just say that announcement was met with some controversy). We also got the full schedule of narrators for this year’s Candlelight Processional at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, as well as details about dining packages for that event. In the meantime, Disney World changed some restaurant menus (like they do), so we want to get you updated on those changes!
Prepare to eat like Pumbaa, Lion King fans.
Timon and Pumbaa
In preparation for the upcoming 30th anniversary of The Lion King, Disney has introduced five NEW desserts themed to the film at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. There’s a new ice cream sandwich, a Simba-themed cookie, a Zazu DOLE Whop float, and more! Let’s get eating!
It’s been a fun food week in Disney World!
Nachos!
We’ve been enjoying some of the new Pride Month snacks that the month of June has brought. We’ve also discovered some new nachos in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, some new Mac ‘n’ Cheese (oh, yeah!), and ANOTHER Cookie Dough Croissant (yes, this is becoming a trend). However, we were also keeping an eye on other Disney World menu changes, so let’s see what’s been updated this week.
