food IS a theme park
It’s not every day you get news about something actually being CHEAPER in Disney World.

That’s especially true when it comes to food. Don’t get us wrong, we love Disney eats — it’s kind of our thing here — but all those meals and snacks can certainly add up quick. Luckily, one of the newest restaurants in Disney World has officially started accepting discounts for select groups — here’s what you need to know.
If you’re going to Disney’s Hollywood Studios soon, you need to start planning what you want to EAT while you’re there! There are lots of great fast food-style restaurants in this park, but right now we’re talking about those table service restaurants (so make sure you make reservations for these spots 60 days in advance!).

We’ve gone through the menus at every one of the table service restaurants in this park and picked out our team’s FAVORITE meal at each spot. These are the DON’T MISS eats at all six sit-down restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Happy New Year, DFB Readers! It’s a new year with new food and loads of changes coming to Disney World restaurants this year.

The biggest change, though, is probably the return of the Disney Dining Plan (and we’ll be testing it when it comes back on January 9th). But we’ve also got some new restaurants opening this year, including Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs and The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers on Disney’s Boardwalk. Right now, though, we’ve got some menu changes to tell you about at Disney World restaurants.
