food IS a theme park
Disney kicked off 2022 by slowly revealing new 50th anniversary treats arriving at Disney World on January 10th.
Shining in the sunset
Among a new selection of sweet and savory items like Croque Monsieur Flatbread, a Haunted Mansion Push Pop (no really), and even a new Dole Whip Float, is this odd-sounding sandwich that we had to try today, so come along with us as we check it out!
It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there if you’re a Magic Kingdom restaurant.
Cinderella Castle
Magic Kingdom draws in some huge crowds, and there are tons of options for satisfying their hunger. Casey’s Corner serves up classic theme park snacks like hot dogs and fries (not to mention our soulmate in food form, Corn Dog Nuggets,) and Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe serves up some Mexican inspired flavors, but there is one Magic Kingdom counter-service spot that has PRIME real estate, yet can still be forgettable.
No surprise here: budgeting a Disney World trip can be TRICKY.
Tree of Life
Trust us, we know just how expensive the parks can be. Between tickets, your hotel room, transportation, and dining, you may be wondering how you can save. And sure, we’re constantly keepin’ an eye out for the latest Disney deals and discounts here at DFB! But sometimes, the way to save is by planning. And after years and years of visiting the parks, we’ve got some great tips for ya. In fact, we’ve got the secrets to feeding a family of 4 in Disney World comfortably for under $100 a day. YES, it’s possible. Here’s how.
Disney World has a huge variety when it comes to food.
Dole Whip
From the theme parks to the hotels to Disney Springs, you can have bangers and mash for lunch, sushi for dinner, and crepes for dessert all in one day! But, what if you’re craving some good ol’ fashioned American food? Well, Regal Eagle Smokehouse can help you there! Come along with us as we chow down on some barbecue favorites in EPCOT.
It’s almost time to ring in the new year in Disney World!
Fireworks
If you’re looking for more to do in Magic Kingdom then get your special New Year’s Magic Shot, Magic Kingdom will be closing later than usual at 1AM on both December 30th and the 31st, and now we just noticed that a number of restaurants will be closing later than usual!
Did you know that some of the BEST food in Disney World isn’t even in the parks?
Disney Springs
If you head over to Disney Springs, the shopping district in Disney World, you can find restaurants by world-class chefs with a huge variety of food options. There’s great Asian cuisine at Morimoto Asia, some of the best fried chicken you’ll ever have at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, and delicious flavors from Spain at Jaleo (just to name a few). But even if you recognize those restaurants, you may not have heard of the place we’re heading today. We’re eating crowd-pleasing food that you can get on the go at prices much lower than the neighboring restaurants! [Read more…]
We’re just a few short days from Christmas, and that means that it’s a very busy season for Disney World!
It’s the holidays at Disney World!
The parks are PACKED with guests visiting for the holidays, and there’s so much to see and do right now — from decorations to snacks to entertainment. And if you happen to be visiting on Christmas Day, there are some exclusive meals that you should know about!
Disney Springs is filled with delicious restaurants, from casual dining to table service.
Chicken Guy!
Chicken Guy! (yes, with the exclamation point) is lead by celebrity chef Guy Fieri and is one of the more underrated dining spots in Disney Springs. Known for serving 22 different sauces alongside their tasty chicken tenders, you can take a trip to Flavortown for both a delicious and budget-friendly meal. Want to try Chicken Guy! but don’t want to visit Disney Springs? You have a new option in Central Florida!
If you’ve never visited Disney’s Polynesian Resort, you’re missing out on some delicious food!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Even if you aren’t staying in a Polynesian room, it’s worth a visit just to check out the MANY food options at the resort. From restaurants like Kona Cafe to ‘Ohana to other spots like Pineapple Lanai and Trader Sam’s, there’s a little bit of something for everyone. Come along with us as we snack at the Polynesian!
Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, but sometimes it can also seem like the Most Expensive Place on Earth! The key word being “sometimes.”
Looks expensive
Just because certain restaurants might cost as much as your mortgage and certain “petit” cakes have not so petit price tags, that doesn’t mean you can’t still find SERIOUS Disney deals out there — some as low as $1! Don’t believe us? Read on!
