One of Our Favorite Disney World Pizza Joints Just Got More Expensive

By Leave a Comment

Happy Holidays from Disney World. We’re enjoying the holiday season, especially all the new food it brings to Disney World.

Queso Fries from Pecos Bill

This week alone, we got to drink a Churro Margarita, celebrated the return of one of our favorite new snacks, started to try to decide where to have Christmas dinner in Disney World, and more. Meanwhile, Disney World restaurants stayed busy as they updated menus, so we’re going to go through all those changes so you aren’t caught by surprise during your next visit. We’ll warn you now, if you’re visiting one of our favorite pizza spots in Disney Springs, aka Pizza Ponte, you’re going to be paying a little more.

I Ordered the Cheapest Dinner at Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Next Time, I’m Going Elsewhere.

By Leave a Comment

Pop Century Resort is a great hotel for those looking to stay on property and save some money, because it’s one of the lowest-priced hotels you’ll find at Disney World.

Disney’s Pop Century Resort

While this hotel is home to some fantastic larger-than-life theming that may remind you deeply of your childhood and give you all the nostalgia, we will be the first to admit that the food here is subpar. With only one dining location, there are lots of different menu items, but you’ll rarely find them to exceed your expectations. We grabbed the cheapest dinner there recently, and we’ve gotta admit — it’ll be the last time we do so.

A DFB Favorite Snack Is GONE From Disney World

By Leave a Comment

We’ve done nothing but think about food and drinks all week. That’s because the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially kicked off, AND The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom has officially opened.

So yeah, we’ve got food and drinks on the brain (but, really, when do we NOT have food and drinks in mind?). Well, while we’re thinking about it, we’re going through all the Disney World restaurant menu changes we spotted this week. Now, we’ll warn you, we’re a little sad that this round of updates saw one of our favorite snacks disappearing: the Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie in EPCOT.

How is it August already?

Big Wave Dave at Splitsville

We do have to say that we wrapped up July in the best way possible, by creating a SWEET Disney Adults Crawl that features drinks created to celebrate the release of our very own AJ Wolfe’s book, Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling In Love With) A Magical Subculture. We’ve already fallen in love with one of those treats, but they’re all special, and we hope you enjoy the crawl. In the meantime, though, we’ve got some Disney World restaurant menu changes to share with you.

Are you sweating wherever you are? Because we are SWEATING in Disney World, but you know what? That doesn’t stop us from enjoying The Most Magical Place on Earth…or rather, from enjoying the FOOD at The Most Magical Place on Earth.

Onion Soup Gratin

This week, we got to enjoy one of Disney World’s most fun cocktails in a brand new cup (and we are obsessed). We also got to visit a brand NEW Disney World restaurant (and hello, fry trio…because fries are LIFE). We were also keeping track of Disney World restaurant menu changes throughout the week, so let’s see what got updated.

By 1 Comment

It’s been another fun week in Disney World, albeit a hot one. As we start counting down the days until fall (or at least until the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival), we’re still busy keeping an eye out for new food in Disney World.

Southern Fried Chicken Biscuit Skillet

Recently, we found some AMAZING French toast in an unexpected spot PLUS we found a classic Italian treat…in yet another unexpected spot. However, when it comes to menu changes, we’re ALWAYS expecting those, and this week is no different. So let’s see what’s changed in Disney World restaurants this week.

Disney Just Dropped THE BIGGEST Menu Change of the Year

By 2 Comments

Disney World has leaned into the chaos a little this week.

Cinnamon Apple Pie Funnel Cake from Epic Eats

For example, we found a non-caramel snack at Karamell-Küche in EPCOT. We went through a flurry of emotions when Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom brought back the OLD waffles. One of our favorite foods at a Disney World hotel was a…hotdog (okay, so maybe we leaned into the chaos a bit, too). And like always, Disney World restaurant menus got updates.
