food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom is one of the busiest theme parks in the WORLD.
Fantasyland crowds
Because of this, it can be a challenge sometimes to get dining reservations in the park, especially during the high-traffic times of the year. But there’s one restaurant that seems to book up faster than the rest — Cinderella’s Royal Table! And if you’re hoping to stop by during your next trip, we’re sharing our experience so you can answer the age-old question: “Is it worth it?”
I’m a Disney World food expert, and there are places in the parks where I REFUSE to eat.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Now, because it’s our mission here at Disney Food Blog to eat at every restaurant in Disney World frequently, we don’t truly avoid any locations when it comes to dining reviews. But when we’re booking our own personal vacations, there are definitely some spots that we skip, simply based on preference. And today, we’re sharing the list of restaurants that we often refuse to book at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Here at DFB, we’re in a not-so-secret love affair with Disney World lounges.
Dahlia Sliders
What better way to enjoy a sampling of small plates and delicious beverages, while also getting in a little R&R in the middle of a busy Disney day? There are several lounges spread throughout Disney World, both in the hotels and the parks, but some of them are near and dear to our hearts. Today, we’re sharing a full tour of one of our favorites — the Dahlia Lounge at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.
Disney seems to be following a new restaurant trend, and we are huge fans of it!

2025 is a big year for Disney World; although many attractions and lands are closing, two new lounges are set to open this year! One in EPCOT and one in the Magic Kingdom. While we are always excited to check out a new place to dine at Disney World, we are incredibly excited about these lounges because they are themed after popular attractions!
We know that Disney World vacations aren’t cheap! When you are visiting the most magical place on Earth, you don’t want to waste your money on sub-par food.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned as a Disney food expert, it’s this: don’t skip the appetizers. Appetizers aren’t just filler before the main course. They’re often some of the most creative and flavorful dishes on the menu. They’re shareable, making them perfect for a group, and they set the stage for what’s to come. Whether you’re looking to try something adventurous or simply want a little taste of something magical, appetizers are the unsung heroes of Disney dining. So, let’s dive into eight Disney appetizers you absolutely need to have on your table. Trust me. These dishes will turn your meal into a culinary highlight reel.
When people talk about the weather at Disney World, it is often about the hot summers and how to stay cool during your trip. However, even though Florida is known for its warmer weather, it still gets cold at Disney World.

You won’t be surrounded by multiple feet of snow, but there will be days in the winter month when you will feel a chill in the air. Make sure you are prepared with the proper clothing, but also be prepared for some unexpected closures that may occur due to cold weather.
