food IS a theme park
Have you heard the news?

No, we’re not talking about the Disney Dining Plan’s return and the Genie+ changes. Or the fact that most visitors won’t need park pass reservations in 2024. We’re talking about the BRAND NEW restaurant that was just announced for Disney World!
Did you know that some of the BEST food in Disney World isn’t even inside the theme parks? The parks have some great restaurants, of course, but there are plenty of places to dine when you don’t have a ticket for the day. Each of the Disney Resorts has at least one restaurant, but the REAL cream of the crop can be found at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is home to literally dozens of dining locations, and they’ve got cuisine from all over the world. But if you’re coming to Florida and you want some traditional American eats with a taste from the coast, there’s one place that comes to mind.
Disney World restaurants are changing left, right, and center, y’all!
EPCOT
Recently, it seems like a lot of updates have been made, from bringing back character meals at Cinderella’s Royal Table to the reopening of Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian. Paused offerings have slowly returned since the pandemic and now, we have breakfast coming back to another spot in EPCOT!
Do you consider yourself a whiskey aficionado? Then we’ve got just the event for you!
The Edison
The Edison at Disney Springs is offering an exclusive mixology event for whiskey enthusiasts but you’ll need to act fast because these tickets are selling out quick. [Read more…]
If you’re staying at a Disney World Value Resort on an upcoming trip, you might be slightly discouraged by your dining options.
Pop Century Resort
While Deluxe and even Moderate resorts often have multiple restaurants with various cuisine offerings, the Value Resorts are typically limited to a pool bar and a cafeteria-style quick service restaurant. But don’t worry — it’s definitely possible to find good things to eat at those places! And we recently stopped at Disney’s Pop Century Resort to prove it.
IT’S HERE! The day is finally here!
Roundup Rodeo BBQ
We’ve been waiting for the opening day of Roundup Rodeo BBQ for what feels like forever. We hope you’ve got your reservations because this restaurant officially opens TODAY!
In Disney World, you can get everything from exotic cuisine to fancy meals that are made with the finest ingredients. But sometimes, you just want to travel back in time to when things were simpler!
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop
There are multiple retro diner-style restaurants in Disney World, but one of our favorites has to be Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. This iconic spot is located at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and we’ve loved it in the past, but we decided to make another trip recently to see if it still stacks up to our standards. Let’s go!
If we’ve learned anything from dining at every restaurant in Disney World, it’s that the food experience varies wildly from place to place!
Landscape of Flavors
Not every restaurant in the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs is going to knock your socks off, but not all of them are bad either (in fact, some are pretty outstanding!). You may expect that if you’re staying at one of Disney World’s Value Resorts that you’ll end up with “bad” food at your hotel. But is that really the case? Recently we stopped by one of the food court-style restaurants to do a full review and find out!
Did you know Disney has a secret shopping center in Orlando, but it’s NOT at Disney World?

That shopping center is Flamingo Crossings in Winter Garden, which Disney has BIG plans for. The area will contain hotels, stores, and restaurants. Retailers and restaurants continue to sign up to move into the area, including Target, Starbucks, Five Below, and more. Now, a new RESTAURANT is on the way.
Here at Disney Food Blog, we talk about Disney World food a LOT. But we also want to make sure we give the West Coast some love!
Disneyland Park
Disneyland Resort has dozens of delicious restaurants, plenty of seasonal eats, and some snacks that could throw down against Disney World snacks any day and WIN. So whether you’re a Disneyland newbie or you’re a regular visitor, we’re here to share our thoughts on the dining at Walt’s original resort. And on a recent visit, we stopped by to review Cafe Orleans!
