food IS a theme park
One of the BEST places to dine is actually outside of the Disney World parks!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is home to dozens of dining locations, from snack spots to fast food to table service meals. These locations have some pretty unique offerings, and recently, some fun menu items arrived at Paddlefish! So we’re taking you with us to try the new eats.
If we haven’t said it yet… HAPPY SEPTEMBER! If you happen to be dining in Disney Springs this month, you’ll want to know about not one, but TWO restaurants serving up some sweet September Specials!
Paddlefish
You’ll find both Paddlefish and Terralina Crafted Italian in The Landing of Disney Springs. Each restaurant will feature its own special offerings during the month; however, some of the specials will be offered at both locations! [Read more…]
If you’re looking for a spot to kick back and relax on your next trip to Disney Springs, Paddlefish is hosting a late night Happy Hour every night this month featuring beer specials at the rooftop bar!

With so many new (and not-so-new, but still greatly loved) dining experiences in Disney Springs, it can be tough to decide where to make your precious Advance Dining Reservations.
So on a recent visit to Disney Springs, I checked out Paddlefish — this time in the dining room (as opposed to the top deck bar) to get an overview of some of the menu’s most popular items. And while most of it was good, some of it was great (and one item — spoiler alert! — was just bad).
Paddlefish is a brand new restaurant in an old, established building. You’ll recall that Fulton’s Crab House used to reside here, in the docked, multi-storied Empress Lily on Lake Buena Vista; and actually this spot has been a restaurant since 1977. When Paddlefish opened, guests were greeted with a combination of old and new. Neutral and trendy gray paint gave the restaurant a streamlined look, but some details of old remained, like brass railings and the fabulous sternwheel.
So what do you say? Shall we paddle in?
Paddlefish
The first floor bar at Paddlefish is a beautiful space, with its curved, recessed ceiling, wall of windows, and various seating arrangements. Definitely a comfortable place to grab a drink or two! [Read more…]
