food IS a theme park
We took a trip to one of our favorite spots around Disney World to see what is new over at Disney’s BoardWalk. Come along with us!

We checked out all newest food offerings on the BoardWalk like the Star Wars Galaxy eclair, new merchandise including the trendy Arendelle Aqua goodies, and even some cool new flowers we spotted hanging around!
If you’re a regular visitor to Walt Disney World or if you pay particular attention to menu boards or your receipts while you vacation, you may have noticed some inconsistencies in the pricing of items and foodstuff across the sprawling property.
So why — oh, why! — does a Mickey Pretzel seem to cost more in some Disney World locations versus others? Why are certain resorts taxed at a higher rate? And what’s the deal with water that’s even more expensive than usual? Let’s get into it.
Cinderella Castle
Imagine this scenario: on day one of your vacation, you purchase a Mickey Pretzel (with gooey cheese sauce included!) for $6.59 at Magic Kingdom’s Lunching Pad. It’s delicious, and on day two, you must have another. You stop at a pretzel cart in Epcot to discover that the SAME snack is now $7! What’s the deal?
Beautiful Mickey Pretzel
Disney has given out complimentary buttons for years, giving guests the chance to tell the world what they’re celebrating while on their vacation. These buttons can be found at locations like Guest Relations inside the parks.
First Visit Celebration Buttons
And a few days ago Disney added to that button collection by releasing a line of non-complimentary buttons that give guests even more celebration options. These NEW buttons feature Disney attractions and characters! Check those out here!
We’re always looking for new ways to enjoy Disney Parks treats, and when we come up with a new food hack — a combination of awesome treats — we just have to share. These five Disney Parks food hacks make dining on Disney sweet treats twice as fun!
Walt Disney World’s Train Station
Churros are a total must on any Disney trip (especially in Disneyland, where they’re served up warm and fresh!), and combining them with an ice cream sundae is kind of a genius idea. [Read more…]
In 2021, Walt Disney World will turn fifty, and we can’t wait to see what kind of epic celebrations are planned for this special event! While we await the details, we thought about all the things we’d like to do at in the World before the big day — some big, some small, and most of them totally unique to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom
The wind whipping through your hair as you spin as fast as you can, giggling like a kid because on the Mad Tea Party, you are one! [Read more…]
We love Disney Parks food, and when it appears on Disney Parks souvenirs, we love those souvenirs. The Dress Shop in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney has a new cheerful dress that’s packed with Disney snacks!

As Epcot’s Festival of the Arts prepares to close on February 25 signs the Flower and Garden Festival opening on March 6 are popping up! Our latest visit to Epcot saw some Flower and Garden food booths and topiaries being set up. But, that isn’t all, we also saw some construction progress, new merchandise, and some awesome chalk art!
Hello from Epcot!
We’ll start out with some Festival of the Arts chalk art — and deals!
It’s no secret we love our pretzels here at Disney Food Blog. Is it the bready dough, the salt, or the plastic cheese we love most? We’ll never tell (yes we will. plastic cheese.).
But, our latest trip to Disney World’s Magic Kingdom had us in pretzel overdrive with not one, not two, not three, but four (yes four!) pretzel updates! We’ll start with the cutest update which is this new set of couples t-shirts.
For the Sweet and Salty Couple
There’s always a sweet one and a salty one in any relationship right? Which shirt will you be wearing on your next visit to the parks?
Sometimes we stumble upon an artist that we just HAVE to share. These teeny tiny Disney creations are way too cute to keep to ourselves!
Meet MinnieKitchen – a polymer clay artist who creates the most adorable miniature items you will ever see! But our favorites, of course, are the Disney ones!
Um… a miniature MICKEY PUMPKIN? It’s perfect!
