food IS a theme park
There’s just something in the air right now…the sweet, sweet scent of Valentine’s Day treats at Disney World!
Valentine Ice Cream Sandwich
We’ve been sipping on Joffrey’s Fairytale Love Latte for a few weeks now, and today, we tried ANOTHER new Valentine’s Day themed coffee at Disney World!
One of the coolest parts about Disney World is the Hidden Mickeys!
Mickey Tires
They are ALL over the place, and there are so many creative places to look for them. We’ve seen them on tires in character cavalcades, inside cupcakes, and in details throughout property, but there’s a BIG Hidden Mickey that you probably didn’t even notice you walked under!
Come take a ride on Disney’s Skyliner with us!
Skyliner
We love trying new drinks and checking out new arrivals in the shops at the Skyliner Resorts. Yesterday, we spotted some construction, characters, and a fun new hat!
Like a lot of restaurants in Disney World, when Topolino’s Terrace — Flavors of the Riviera first reopened at Disney’s Riviera Resort last year, it came with a seriously trimmed down menu.
Topolino’s Terrace Dining Room
The changes were most evident at breakfast, which was suddenly pastry-less, and missing two of its meaty menu stars! Well, hope you’re hungry, because the restaurant has brought back its sausage and steak!
While we’re exploring Disney resorts, we can sometimes get a little thirsty.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
While out and about last week, we found a brand-new drink at Disney’s Riviera Resort that we just had to come back and try.
It’s hard to go wrong with a combination like wine and chocolate.
Grand Floridian
For New Year’s, Disney World offered a special celebration package that included sparkling wine and chocolate at a few resort restaurants. It looks like this package will continue in 2021, because a Valentine’s Day version has just popped up on select menus!
Disney’s Riviera Resort had its grand opening last year, and it has brought us some pretty solid eats!
Primo Piatto Sign
Not only can you dine at the charming Topolino’s Terrace, but there’s also an incredible Italian-based quick-service location called Primo Piatto! We haven’t visited for a full review since the grand opening where we absolutely adored the unique eats and the chic design, so we are excited to take you back with us and see how the place is holding up. Without further ado, let’s dive in!
There are HUNDREDS of great places to eat at Walt Disney World, and while many of those lie behind the gates of Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, there are tons of spots you can dine at for a magical meal without having to step foot into a theme park. Disney Springs alone has over 60 dining options!
Disney Springs
It can be a LOT to try and navigate the best spots to dine at when visiting Disney World in general. And now, with Park Passes and shorter hours meaning you may not be in a theme park every day for every meal, knowing where to dine at Disney Springs or at one of Disney’s currently open resort hotels can be overwhelming.
Even though we don’t have traditional character meet-and-greets and meals right now, Disney has been very creative when implementing ways for us to interact with our Disney friends!
Pluto!!
Just this morning, characters returned to Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary (in socially-distanced fashion), and we’ve seen several fun cavalcades and distanced meet-and-greets in the parks. We speculated a few weeks ago whether or not characters might come around to visit the Disney World Resorts again, and then we spotted some friends over at Disney’s Grand Floridian last week! Today, we saw a few characters again, this time at Disney’s Riviera Resort! And they showed up in a cool ride!
Guests at Disney’s Riviera Resort were required to evacuate the building earlier this evening.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Even though Disney World is the most magical place on Earth, things can still occasionally go awry. Sometimes guests may need to evacuate a ride, restaurant, or building for their own safety.
