food IS a theme park
2026 has already seen A LOT of changes at Disney World — from the opening of the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets to the closure of the Carousel of Progress for a massive reimagining — and August will be no different, especially at some of Disney World’s restaurants.
Steak Frites
From the effects of special events to ongoing construction projects, those planning a trip to the “Most Magical Place on Earth” should be aware of what’s going on with the resort’s eateries next month.
Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort has been going through a TON of changes recently. But no restaurant has probably seen as many changes in the shopping and dining district as Earl of Sandwich.
Grand opening!
This restaurant has changed locations so many times that we were starting to get worried about it until Disney announced it was building a brand NEW permanent location for the dining spot. Well, that new location is now open for business, and we recently attended the grand opening. Let’s check it out together!
If you’re visiting Disney World, you’ll never NOT have an answer to the question “Where should we eat?” That’s because you have a multitude of choices on Disney property that you might not think you should leave the Disney bubble when you visit.
Four Flamingos: A Richard Blais Florida Kitchen
However, if you’re willing to travel a little, you might want to visit Four Flamingos: A Richard Blais Florida Kitchen at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. After all, this celebrity chef-led Michelin-recommended restaurant has some big things planned for the summer!
Another week in Disney World means another week of eating our way around Disney World. This week, we had a chance to check out a delicious cotton candy-inspired cake, eat some flavorful popcorn, and dine at a restaurant we’d leave Disney World to check out.
Cotton Candy Cake from The Cake Bake Shop
While we were doing all that, though, we were keeping our eyes on Disney World restaurant menus because they change…a lot. So let’s take a look at all the changes we spotted at Disney World restaurants this week. Word of warning: one popular Disney Springs restaurant just got some price hikes!
Are you someone who loves Disney? Do you watch all of the movies? Do you go to the theme parks every chance you get? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingidom
Each week, it feels like Disney is constantly dropping new information, details, and more, all connected to the company. Each week, we do a wrap-up of the biggest news from the week so you don’t miss a single detail. This week had some fun changes and one major milestone!
We are all about food, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise since “Food” is literally our middle name! Now, we are obsessed with Disney World and Disneyland food, of course, but we have no problem leaving the parks to try out other restaurants, too.
Delizia Al Limone at Simply Capri
Well, a new restaurant is coming to the Orlando area soon, and it will sit right across from a restaurant that you should also consider leaving Disney World to check out.
One of the most convenient things that many Disney World restaurants offer is the Walk-Up Waitlist that lets you use the My Disney Experience app to get on a waitlist to get into a restaurant, even if you don’t have a reservation. In fact, sometimes it’s the best way to get into the popular spots!
The Beak and Barrel!
Well, two popular Disney World lounges that have been EXTREMELY hard to get reservations for have added the Walk-Up Waitlist option, so it just got easier to visit those lounges. YAY!!
Oh, the lazy, hazy days of summer. Summer isn’t just a time to go on vacation. It’s also a great time to visit Disney Springs where you can do ALL the shopping your heart desires, as well as all the EATING your heart desires.

Summer is also a great time to try new things like competing with your family and friends at LEVEL99. Or maybe you’d prefer something a little less physical, like taking a cocktail class. Well, if that’s your speed, Summer House on the Lake has just what you’re looking for: a summer cocktail class.
It’s no secret that if you asked us which Disney resort in the U.S. had the best food, we’d probably answer Disneyland. There’s just so MUCH good food to get there, including the BEST corn dogs, Mickey beignets, cheesy garlic pretzel bread, those chocolate chip cookies at Harbour Galley, and more. Disneyland knows how to do food.
Carthay Circle Restaurant
Well, one of the most popular restaurants in Disney California Adventure, Carthay Circle Restaurant, just added a ton of NEW food to its menu, and well, now you’ve got even MORE great food to choose from in Disneyland.
Looking to snag some breakfast at your Disney World hotel before you hit the parks? You may need to do some research ahead of time!
Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Bagel Sandwich
All of the Disney Resorts have options available for breakfast, but their hours can vary. Some of them open earlier than others, which means some hotels might set you up better for a rope drop start to your Disney World park day. Which hotels have the best hours for breakfast? Let’s find out!
