food IS a theme park
You’ve read all the lists, watched all the videos, and know exactly which snacks you’re going to get when you’re in the Disney World parks.
Mickey Pretzel!
There’s just one problem — Disney World doesn’t end just at the park gates. Some of our absolute favorite foods are hiding, and sometimes in the unlikeliest of places. Say goodbye to Mickey Premium Bars and popcorn because we’re sharing eight amazing Disney snacks you won’t find in the theme parks!
You studied the DFB Guide YouTube channel, you read every article, scoured every newsletter, and read & re-read the DFB Guidebook. You marked your calendar, you snagged that practically impossible advanced dining reservation (ADR) for ‘Ohana because YOU KNOW how epic the ‘Ohana noodles are.
Our favorite noodles
You have your table, you’ve ordered your food, and when you see your server arrive at your table with that platter filled with ‘Ohana noodles, you simply cannot contain yourself. Maybe you have a fork, maybe you’ve mastered the chopsticks, or maybe you just dive face-first into that teriyaki, starchy masterpiece — all you know is that this is the moment you’ve been waiting for and nothing will get between you and those precious noods.
We know a thing or two about eating our way around Disney World!
‘Ohana Spread
Figuring out where and what to eat in Disney World can feel like an overwhelming choice. After all, there are over 400 dining experiences available across property! Sometimes it seems like the restaurants inside the parks get most of the buzz (hi there, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Space 220, Be Our Guest Restaurant, etc., etc.). Since there typically isn’t as much chatter happening around the Disney World Resort restaurants, how are you supposed to know where to start?? Well, don’t worry friends, we’re here to help!
Disney World is celebrating its 50th Anniversary for a FULL 18-months and we’ve been bringing you along for the PAR-TAY featuring all-new attractions, fireworks shows, decorations, and SO much more since it began!
It’s Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!
Of course, what’s an anniversary celebration without some tasty eats and drinks, right? Well, Disney World introduced OVER 150 new snacks to keep our bellies full as we wave at Mickey and shop every new piece of merchandise there is (and there’s A LOT). We’ve already brought you our COMPLETE ranking of the 50th-anniversary snacks in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but if you find yourself craving something that isn’t covered in EARidescent sprinkles, we’re bringing you 50 OTHER things to try in Disney World for the 50th Anniversary!
Disney World can be very tough on your wallet, and it just got even more expensive with the new price increases on a lot of food items around the parks and hotels.
Disney World isn’t a cheap vacation.
Even though it’s a pricey vacation, there are still some ways to save money on your Disney World trip. From official discounts to dining hacks, we found several great deals that you can still take advantage of for your 2022 vacation. [Read more…]
2021 has come to a close, and it’s time to take a look back down memory lane (for better or for worse) and some of the food and drink items we tried at Disney World over the past year. We’re in the parks every day trying the latest dining offerings (while also re-visiting restaurants throughout the year!), so we’ve experienced the full range of what the parks and resorts have had to offer.
Magic Kingdom
Today, we’re sharing with you our “hall of fame” when it comes to the best as well as the worst things we tried in Disney World this year! If you’ve followed along with our monthly installments, then you may recognize a few of these selections! Let’s waste no time and dive right into what stood out to our team the most in 2021 (in no particular order!).
If you’re planning to go to Disney World sometime this year, we bet you’re making a list of what tasty food you want to try!
Cinderella Castle
And, a list is a good idea, because there are SO many different food items to choose from. Between the new restaurants, seasonal snacks, menu changes, and EPCOT festivals, it might seem like your list is just getting longer and longer. But, we’re here to help you narrow it down!
Over the years, Disney World has made quite a few BIG decisions!
Like changing the park entertainment options!
They’ve introduced new offerings, updated old attractions, and tried a variety of new snack and merchandise options. Some of these decisions have been popular, but others, well…not so much. Today we’re discussing the times that Disney World missed the mark a liiiiittle bit!
The past few years at Disney World have been…different, to say the least.
Our favorite noodles
We’ve seen some of the same supply shortages at Disney World that much of the rest of the U.S. is experiencing. First, there was an issue with ketchup. Then there was a shortage of POG juice. And most recently, there was a noodles shortage — yes, THERE WAS A NOODLES SHORTAGE AT DISNEY WORLD.
We don’t know about you, but we are still SO glad that ‘Ohana is back at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Eat here, but at home!
Is any Disney World restaurant more iconic than ‘Ohana? And although we gasped when the menu first appeared sans Noodles, we let out a sigh of relief when Disney World confirmed the Noodles would be returning. (Don’t get us started on this whole noods shortage RN! ‘Ohana keepin’ us on our noodle-toes!) SO, what if you can’t get to ‘Ohana anytime soon but you’re craving those Noods or that Bread Pudding or any of the other yummy dishes you can’t get anywhere else? WE. GOT. YO. BACK. You just need to provide some cooking skillz.
