food IS a theme park
There’s a NEW dining location coming to Disney’s BoardWalk, and we’re chomping at the bit to check it out!
Disney’s BoardWalk
Several businesses at Disney’s BoardWalk closed in the past few years, which has left a few locations available. Now, Disney is starting to fill in those spots, and we’ll be getting a NEW restaurant called Hurly-Burly! What do we know about it so far? Let’s break down everything.
When you think “pool bar,” even in Disney World, you’re probably thinking of food that tastes good when you’re starving after swimming for hours, but otherwise is a bit mediocre.
Full spread from Bar Riva
Bar Riva at Disney’s Riviera Resort is a pool bar that’s a bit more elevated than others, but does the menu match its decor? We decided it was time to find out, so we headed over there to grab some of the most popular eats on the menu. What we found wasn’t exactly what we expected, but there is ONE item available that we won’t be able to stop thinking about.
Looking to snag some breakfast at your Disney World hotel before you hit the parks? You may need to do some research ahead of time!
Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Bagel Sandwich
All of the Disney Resorts have options available for breakfast, but their hours can vary. Some of them open earlier than others, which means some hotels might set you up better for a rope drop start to your Disney World park day. Which hotels have the best hours for breakfast? Let’s find out!
Heading to Universal Orlando in 2027? We’re spilling the secrets on the best places to dine!
Dragon Fire Chicken Spire Mac & Cheese Cone
Across the three dry parks and one water park, CityWalk, and the hotels, there are dozens and dozens of restaurants to check out. How do you know which one to choose? Well, we’ve eaten all around Universal Orlando and we’re here to break down the best of the best for your 2027 trip.
When it comes to dining at the Disney World Resorts, one of the hotels at the top of the game (perhaps even the #1 choice) is Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.
Enchanted Rose Lounge
This Monorail-area hotel is a fan-favorite for many reasons, but its dining is out of this world. From the delightful 1900 Park Fare character meal and the charming Garden View Lounge tea experience to the Michelin-starred Victoria & Albert’s, there are plenty of delicious choices. And recently, we stopped at the hotel’s Beauty and the Beast-themed lounge for a full review.
There’s so much fun to be had this summer at Disney World, but fans of a couple of Disney World restaurants won’t be able to visit for a few months.
Yachtsman Steakhouse
While there will certainly be no shortage of FANTASTIC dining options all over Disney World, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney’s Yacht Club will both have some limitations due to scheduled restaurant refurbishments. We’re giving you the skinny on these closures and letting you know when you can expect them to reopen!
Disney World Resort food courts…you either love ’em or hate ’em.
Let’s go to Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory!
Some are arguably better than others (we’re not exactly raving about the dining options at the All-Star Resorts), but when you’re in a bind, they’re often available with some crowd-pleasing and occasionally exclusive dining options. Recently, we made a visit to Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory at Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter, and here we’ve rounded up our thoughts on the experience!
Disney World is constantly making changes to its restaurants, from menu updates to price increases to complete closures and overhauls.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
In the past several years, we’ve been to multiple new dining locations, and most of them have been absolutely lovely. However, what we’ve really been longing for all this time is for a long-lost dining spot to reopen. And finally, after years of pleading, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is reopening its tea room!
Yep, it’s that time of year again, no matter how much we hate it.
Tonga Toast
Price increases have begun hitting Disney World all over the resort, and now, Disney hotels are next on the list. If you’ve got multiple restaurants located at Disney World hotels on your “must-try” list and have been budgeting for specific items, you may want to increase that budget, because price increases have hit TONS of items.
Before you head on a Disney World vacation, you need to know what your options are as far as dining goes. And that’s particularly important when it comes to dining at your hotel!
Let’s grab a bite!
You’ll want to know what you can find to eat in the morning before you hit the parks, as a late-night option when you’re ready to have a snack and collapse in bed, or a midday meal during your day chilling at the hotel. For those staying at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, there’s one quick service spot that we’re going to put on your radar — a place where you can have a meal, snag a specialty coffee, or enjoy a FROYO BAR. Oh yeah, that’s right!
