food IS a theme park
We’ve got an update for you from Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort!
Caribbean Beach Resort
We found some new food and merchandise options that we think you guys are going to love, focusing on our two favorite mice. Let’s get started!
Oh, carbs. How we love thee!
Mickey Pretzel and Cinderella’s Castle
No matter the shape or flavor, we will never deny a delicious, carby, salty, pretzel.
Today, April 26, is National Pretzel Day (who knew?!), we’ve got a hot tip on how you can score a FREE PRETZEL at Wetzel’s Pretzels and a great deal on a popular pretzel at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar!
Free pretzel!
First: FREE! Wetzel’s Pretzels locations in Disney Springs and Downtown Disney (as well as locations all over the country) are offering a free Original Pretzel to anyone who stops in! [Read more…]
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine
kicked off today, and to say it’s been delicious is an understatement. And now, amongst all the food and wine, we’ve discovered BEER MARSHMALLOWS. Yes — you read that correctly. House-Made Beer Marshmallows!
House-Made Beer Marshmallows
And these aren’t just some delicious house-made marshmallows kickin’ it solo. Oh, no! They’re coated in milk chocolate and topped with a pretzel! Salty, sweet, and beer-y! But wait! That’s not all… [Read more…]
Walt Disney World
has something for everyone — from rides and attractions to resorts and dining. Today we’re visiting a sports fan’s go-to table service spot in Disney World: ESPN Club!
ESPN Club is an active, energetic restaurant located at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort and Villas. And as you might expect, it’s not only sports-themed from the walls to the menu, it’s also a fantastic place to watch the big game.
And since the World Cup is still lighting up screens around the globe, it’s important to know that there are TVs EVERYWHERE. Even in the bathrooms. Yup, you don’t have to miss a second of the game. (Priorities.)
The food, which might very well be secondary for a lot of diners, is OK. It’s no Flying Fish or Abracadabar — both located just a stone’s throw away. But you’re not really at ESPN Club for the eats; you’re there for the game! And the good news is: the food will fuel you long after the final whistle blows!
ESPN Club
The name of the game at ESPN Club is televised sports. And so the atmosphere really revolves around large screens sharing the latest must-watch games and events.
Between the opening of Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World next month and Pixar Fest cranking up the fun at Disneyland through September, our best toy friends are having a hey day right now.

If one snack has become associated indelibly with Disney Parks on both the east and west coasts, it’s the Mickey Pretzel. I mean, it’s Mickey-shaped, it’s portable, it’s pretzel. (And now it comes with cheese sauce just about everywhere — so yum!)
But let’s be real: If you want an authentic pretzel experience, where the texture, color, and flavor combine for pretzel perfection, you gotta head over to the Germany Pavilion in World Showcase.
Sommerfest in the Germany Pavilion Outside View
Sure, we had an amazing dinner during my recent (and very first! But not my last!) trip to Bongos Cuban Cafe recently.
But I’ve been keeping a bit of a secret from you from that evening!! What I haven’t told you yet? There’s deliciousness to be enjoyed at Bongos even in their gift shop!
Popsycakes!
We spied this display in the shop, right next to the cashier, and I was intrigued. They looked like they’d be pretty bad, overly-preserved Little Debbie knock-offs, but I knew we had to check them out for ya!
Popsycake Display
What is a popsycake, you ask? Well, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock like me (or your love is only for Mickey Bars and Disney cupcakes), you’ve heard of the cake pop craze.
Think of an enormous cake pop, but with a pretzel rod for a stick. Because really, if you can do away with the inedible parts of food wrapping, you SO should.
Popsycake Flavors
The popsycakes come in four different flavors, although I’m not certain the Vanilla Bean version was available the day we were there. But the dark chocolate one included [Read more…]
I absolutely love that the Disney Store is carrying some theme park merchandise now. And these Ears Hats might be the perfect headgear for your upcoming trip to the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
Highlighting Epcot’s World Showcase countries, these Ears Hats may not be all the rage just yet, but after a few brews I can see ya posing for a pic or two! And when you do, share it at the Disney Food Blog Photo Extravaganza. Please!
Guten Tag! Take a look at the Germany Ears Hat with a foodie favorite — the soft pretzel — on an ear!
If you’re heading to the Biergarten or stopping by the Germany booth at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, you need this topper. (This may look better after an Altenmunster at the Brewer’s Collection booth. Just sayin’ ;-)!)
Germany Ears Hat
Ciao! Before heading to the Italy pavilion or Italy Booth, don your gondolier outfit or… just get this Ears Hat.
With a giant pizza [Read more…]
Welcome Marc and Amy Stumbo (this is one of my favorite pics of Amy, FYI) as they take us to Disneyland Paris! Their first review includes a yummy snack as well as the daily continental breakfast offered complimentary to guests of the Sequoia Lodge. Bonjour, Marc and Amy!
Amy and I both grew up with annual passes to Walt Disney World. Having grown up in the shadow of the mouse, we had many dates in the parks and we even got engaged after an amazing dinner at the California Grill (perhaps an article at a later date… very romantic if I say so myself).
Well, let it suffice to say that after we determined Paris to be the site of our honeymoon it didn’t take long for us to make reservations at nearby Disneyland Paris. Finally, as an avid Disney Food Blog reader, it only seemed fair that we use this vacation opportunity to share our dining experiences with the readers.
Disneyland Paris
Amy and I left central Paris via train and arrived at Disneyland Paris around 8 o’clock in the morning, emerging from the Marne-la-Vallee train station, bags in tow, eager to [Read more…]
