food IS a theme park
Disney World vacations can be complicated.
Welcome to Disney World!
When you’re planning a trip — especially your FIRST trip — you start to realize how BIG Disney World is — 40+ square miles, and how many choices there are for hotels.
Well, the past week has been an exciting one, especially for us Disney World fans!
Pumpkin Spice Butter Bar
We got some updates on some pretty MAJOR projects happening in the parks, including a revamped Country Bears Jamboree, more ideas for the Magic Kingdom expansion, and potential concepts for the reimagining of DinoLand, U.S.A. But that isn’t all that happened. While all THAT was going on, Disney World was changing up some restaurant menus, but it’s okay because we are on top of it!
One of the most important parts of your Disney World trip (in our opinion) is what you choose to eat! There are lots of great options for snacks and meals in the parks, but there are also some less-than-stellar eats to watch out for.

We’re in Disney World every single day, and we’ve tried just about everything there is to eat there. We’re here to help you find the best possible food, drinks, and snacks! Come along with us to see the best places to eat in Disney World. [Read more…]
Although summer has been relatively quiet in Disney World, that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot of stuff going on.
The Famous Cobb Salad from Hollywood Brown Derby
We did get to check out the new Caramel Flight from Karamell-Küche in EPCOT, after all. Speaking of EPCOT, a restaurant temporarily closed there, too! We also FINALLY got a look at ALL the menus for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Meanwhile, Disney World restaurant menus saw some changes, so let’s see what’s different now!
Dining in Disney World can certainly be done on a whim. And we do love to grab a new treat when we see one!
Tree of Life
However, when we have a full day planned, we like to have the best eats in mind before we get to a Walt Disney World theme park. After all, it’s important to spend our dining budget on the best Disney food. That’s why we researched all the food that Animal Kingdom restaurants have to offer so that you aren’t led astray!
Looking for the best snacks in Animal Kingdom for 2024? We have all the details for ya here!
While trekking through Disney’s Animal Kingdom, your explorations are sure to lead to some exotic locations. From Asia to Africa, you’ll have fun discovering fascinating animals and wild rides!
Tree of Life
All that exploring can bring on hunger and when it does, you’ll want to know the BEST snacks to track down. We’re talking about desserts, savory bites, and not-to-be-missed treats in Walt Disney World.
There are quite a few snacks that we would consider to be Disney “classics.”
A Disney churro!
Popcorn, Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, and yes, even turkey legs are a significant part of the Disney snack scene. But one of the standout sweets is a Disney churro, and soon, the parks (especially at Disneyland Resort) are celebrating National Churro Day with some new additions!
Summertime has arrived in Disney World!
Strawberry Butter Bar from Karamel Kuche in EPCOT
Minnie’s Summertime Dine started at Hollywood & Vine this week in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. New menu items are set to arrive at Disney World restaurants soon to usher in the seasonal change. There’s even a new summer Disney World ticket deal available for booking. We’re also seeing some changes on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s look at what’s happening.
DFB is all about the FOOD at Walt Disney World. ALL kinds of Disney food. And that means making sure that families with special dietary concerns (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.) have the information they need to create safe and delicious meal plans for their vacation.
Have you wondered about vegan dining in Walt Disney World? We’re happy to share — vegans CAN eat well at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, especially with a little advanced planning.
Plant Based Sausage
For starters, in October 2019, Disney announced that every major table and counter service restaurant in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort would offer plant-based options! You will find menus with plant-based options that are available throughout Walt Disney World, these items “are made with no animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey. They are made with ingredients that come from plants, including grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes.”
Walt Disney World vacations can be exhausting due to early mornings, late nights, and lots of walking! To keep your energy up, you may need to refuel with coffee on your trip, and you have quite a few different options!
Creature Comforts
Coffee and Disney go together like Donald and Daisy, and over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll find plenty of choices no matter what kind of coffee fix you’re after. Of course, there’s the obvious Creature Comforts (the Animal Kingdom Starbucks location), but those lines can be long, and you might be looking for something a little different.
