food IS a theme park
June has been WILD so far, y’all.
Buzz Lightyear Cone
We’ve even managed to check out a Lightyear-themed snack. We even ate Deviled Egg ice cream!!! But we’re just getting started — because here are ALL the Disney World restaurant menu updates for this past week!
One of the most wonderful things about going to Disney World is the food — yeah, we’re biased, but that’s what we do!
Time to Dig in!
And when folks in the know think food in Disney World, chances are their thoughts drift to EPCOT. It’s basically a magical, wonderful place for food from around the WORLD — you can have lunch in Italy, a drink in Mexico, a snack in France, and dinner in Germany! But did you know that you can eat around the world at other parts of Disney World without ever stepping foot into EPCOT?
Let’s face it — when it comes to Disney World, you’re pretty much living on Disney World time.
How late is Trader Sam’s open?
That means you’re subject to Disney World’s schedule, meaning that you probably aren’t going to make any 2AM snack runs to 7-Eleven like you might do at home when you can’t sleep and you want some food. But there are SOME late-night dining options available at Disney World, maybe even more than you think.
Okay, we’ve got one for all you seafood lovers headed to Disney World!
Perfect lobster
We’ve told you a lot about the best Disney World restaurants for picky eaters, the best value quick-service spots, the best restaurants for first-time visitors, and more! But now, we’re going to give you a full run-down of all the BEST seafood locations at Disney World!
You’d be hard-pressed to find a Disney food and wine event that we’d turn down.
Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resort
And no, we’re not talking about the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, either. We’re actually talking about a nearby event at The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin! These hotels hosted several specialty food and beverage events recently and we were invited to stop by to review one!
There are lots of delicious treats to sample on at the various EPCOT festivals. But, just a hop away from the park, you can experience a totally different, intimate and luxurious food and wine experience.
Disney’s Dolphin Resort
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel’s Food and Wine Classic is a fan-favorite event where foodies can truly live their best lives. This year, the Swan and Dolphin have brought back this fun event in a modified way to help guests maintain social distancing. We got the chance to experience it recently and now we’re bringing you ALL our thoughts!
If you want to sample delicious items from some fantastic restaurants around Orlando, including spots in Disney World, at a great value, you’ll definitely want to check out Orlando’s Magical Dining Month.
Jaleo
As part of this special dining month, select restaurants in Orlando create three-course, prix-fixe dinners for just $35 per person! Additionally, $1 from each meal benefits Feed the Need Florida, an organization that helps feed people who have struggled to get access to healthy food during the pandemic. The event was set to end on October 4th, but it has now been extended!
MORE resort hotels reopened in Disney World and we went a took a look!
Caribbean Beach Resort
We took a spin around the two most recently reopened hotels in Disney World and (as expected) there were a good number of changes. So here’s everything that NEW at The Swan Hotel and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort in food and construction! Take a look!
Another hotel has reopened in Disney World!
The Swan
This morning, we took a tour around a reopened Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort to see all of the changes. Now, we’re headed to the EPCOT resort area for a look at the health and safety measures in the Swan Hotel! Let’s dive in!
Kimonos Sushi Bar is a table-service sushi restaurant at Walt Disney World’s Swan Hotel.
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
This restaurant has been named the Best Sushi in Orlando by the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper and offers traditional Japanese cuisine in a contemporary atmosphere. Come for the great fish, but you’ll want to stay for the karaoke in the evenings!
