How the New Restaurant Coming to Disney Springs Will Completely Change the Game for Orlando

By Leave a Comment

A major shift is coming to Disney Springs, and it’s being led by one of Orlando’s most beloved local restaurants.

Instead of sweets, it will feature an all-new savory-focused menu, marking the first time Gideon’s has expanded beyond its signature bakehouse concept and signaling a larger trend reshaping Orlando’s restaurant scene.

Why Disney Adults Keep Eating at the WRONG Restaurants

By 1 Comment

After decades of eating my way around Disney World, one thing is clear: many Disney adults keep booking restaurants for the wrong reasons.

Want to dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table? Make a reservation as early as you can.

Disney World is home to some truly fantastic restaurants, from immersive themed dining to fantastic meals you won’t find anywhere else. But with hundreds of options across the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs, it’s easy to assume that popular, iconic, or highly recommended automatically means “right for everyone.” The truth is, many Disney dining disappointments don’t come from bad restaurants. Instead, they come from choosing places that don’t match your priorities, tastes, or touring style. Understanding why we book certain restaurants can make all the difference between a meal you endure and one you truly enjoy.

But sometimes, in the land of $35 burgers and months-long dining waits, the most surprising meal can come from a place you thought you’d never step foot in. So here we are, and I’m about to recommend a Disney World restaurant that’s often shrugged off, joked about, or skipped entirely: Rainforest Café. Yes, that Rainforest Café.

“The New Version is Terrible” Fans Have HAD IT With These Disney World Restaurant Closures

By 11 Comments

Disney World has plenty of restaurants to choose from while you’re on vacation. From quick service to full table service meals, you’ll have a wide range of options.

Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano

However, as we say, one thing is certain about Disney World: it will change. We have seen restaurants close and change a lot over the years. Recently, two restaurants at Disney’s Hollywood Studios have been set to close — Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano and PizzeRizzo. That had us wondering if Disney fans are tired of seeing restaurants close, so we asked our readers, “What have you HAD IT with as far as restaurant closures in Disney World go?”

This Popular Disney’s Hollywood Studios Restaurant Gave Me Serious Anxiety, and I Know I’m Not the Only One

By Leave a Comment

We’ve dined in some strange and unique places in Disney World!

Hollywood Studios

We’ve eaten inside of cars, next to aquariums, and even in space. Disney knows how to do themed dining, and so when we got the chance to go to a restaurant that feels like dining in mom’s kitchen, we were like “Sign us UP!” The only catch? They might yell at us!
