food IS a theme park
Here at Disney Food Blog, it’s more than just our job to bring you the latest food news from Disney World. We consider it our duty.
Port Orleans — French Quarter
And, we wouldn’t be doing our duty if we didn’t remind you about this important dining change! Whether you’ve got an upcoming stay at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort or just have a hankerin’ for those soft, warm, pillowy beignets — don’t forget about this important warning.
If you’ve been to Disney World in the past, you’ve probably tried many of the restaurants in the parks and a few in Disney Springs, but sometimes, the HOTEL restaurants are where it’s at!
Port Orleans Resort — Riverside
Some of the best food in all of Disney World is located at the resorts, and we’ve got a long list of hidden gems that are often overlooked. During your next trip, you might want to venture outside of your typical dining comfort zone, and if you’re interested in trying something new, then you need to check out this dining review!
In order to find some of Disney World’s best meals, you’ll need to leave the parks.
Riverside Mill Food Court
Sure, we love the Cheeseburger Springs Rolls in Magic Kingdom, and Flame Tree Barbecue’s Pulled Pork Fries in Disney’s Animal Kingdom are iconic. But, Disney World’s hotels are full of some eats that you don’t want to miss! From Tonga Toast to Mickey Beignets, there are so many hidden gems outside of the parks. Over at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, there’s a quick-service dining spot nestled along the water — Riverside Mill Food Court. I stopped by for lunch recently to see how it compares to some of our other favorite hotel spots — read on for the full review!
Picture this: you’ve had some pretty incredible park days complete with the best rides, the best food, and the best memories. But man, are you tired! Trust us, we’ve been there.
Welcome to the Grand Floridian!
Spending some well-deserved time resting and relaxing at your Disney World hotel pool can recharge and get you ready for the next day of fun. There are so many incredibly themed pools around Disney World, but this is the pool-hopping rule everyone forgets!
Planning a trip to Walt Disney World can be fun, but also complicated — especially when you’re trying to choose between 25 resort hotels. If you’ve narrowed down your choices to these two resorts, how do you make your final selection?
Port Orleans Resort — Riverside
Well, we’re here to walk you through the similarities AND differences between Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside.
Whether cost, room size, location, pools, and/or restaurants are most important to you, we share the information that you’ll need to make an informed decision. After all, we want you to stay at the hotel that is best for your traveling party!
If you ask us — everything tastes better when it’s Mickey-shaped.
A top-tier snack
From waffles to ice cream bars to beignets, we’ve tried plenty of treats shaped like our favorite mouse — and now, we’ve got a new one to try. Disney World is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with all sorts of eats and drinks, and we’re heading over to Port Orleans — French Quarter to check one out!
It’s World Princess Week, everyone, and Disney is CELEBRATING!
Princesses in Disney World
This week is a part of Disney’s Ultimate Princess Celebration that’s been going on all year. We’ve seen special merchandise, designer princess dolls, and more for the festivities over the past several months, and we even celebrated World Princess Week last year. Now, the special week has returned, and it’s brought with it some tasty new treats. Come along with us as we try out a NEW dessert inspired by Princess Tiana!
If you know us at all, you know that we LOVE Disney and food. It’s in the name, y’all!
We don’t mess around when it comes to Disney food!
So, when Disney started making food-themed merchandise, we were ecstatic! We’ve seen popcorn ears, donut ears, Mickey pretzel ears, and more. But now, we think we might have found the BEST food-inspired Disney item yet!
If you’re looking for some Cajun-inspired eats and beignets, you’d probably enjoy a visit to the Scat Cat’s Club lounge in Disney World!
Scat Cat’s Club
Scat Cat’s Club is located inside Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort hotel, and you can grab appetizers (and cocktails) from 5PM to 10PM daily, though the lounge itself stays open till 12AM. They recently added two new menu items that involve beignets, so of COURSE we had to try them — and there are some UNUSUAL ingredients involved. 👀
Here at DFB, we understand that some of our readers are on special diets and can’t always eat the things we eat at Disney World.
Orange and Raspberry Dole Whip Swirl!
But we want to help you in choosing some of the best food that you CAN eat, so we’re putting together some lists to help you choose.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
