food IS a theme park
If you know one thing about us here at DFB, it’s that we LOVE a secret menu item.
Maleficent Frappe
From the Maleficent Frappucino at Starbucks to a seasonal soup, we’re HERE for it.
We’re unlocking the Starbucks Secret Menu to try a drink featuring a favorite Disney Villain!
Maleficent Dragon Float
A couple years ago, Starbucks in Disneyland served a limited Maleficent Frappuccino that was EXCLUSIVE to that location, but we know the perfect hack to get this secret menu item for yourself — no matter where you are!
We’ve been eating and drinking our way around the holidays at Disney World!
Restaurantosaurus Decorations
That means we’ve been drinking everything from spiked egg nog to a pumpkin spice margarita to a candy cane martini. But sometimes, we stumble upon a SECRET…and we just have to tell you about it!
When thinking about dining for your next Walt Disney World trip, definitely don’t sleep on the resort restaurant options!
California Grill Lounge
Some of the best food on property is available at the Disney resort hotels, so if you have the time and it’s practical, we encourage you to make some dining reservations outside of the parks. Exclusive to the resorts, you have some fun options, like the character meal at Topolino’s Terrace, an amazing view from California Grill at the Contemporary, and the wacky antics of the servers at Whispering Canyon Cafe. Today, we stopped by one of our favorite Disney resort restaurants, and we happened to stumble upon a secret menu item!
Listen. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the world is very different right now, mmm-kay? And eating INDOORS where it’s super PEOPLE-Y and there’s all that RECIRCULATED AIR may not be your favorite activity at the moment.
If you’re nodding your head right now (and, tbh, even if you’re not, because this place is worthwhile regardless of your current global pandemic status), settle in to hear about our recent favorite hangout in Disney World to eat OUTSIDE in the fresh, un-contaminated air!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a beautiful resort inspired by national parks and cabins in the Pacific Northwest. It’s here you’ll find rustic eats, a breathtaking lobby, and even a real (well, Disney-real) geyser! We recently stopped by to take in the grand architecture and share some bites at Geyser Point Bar and Grill. Take a walk in the woods with us as we rustle up some grub!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some pretty unique dining options. If you’re not in the mood to eat a WHOLE FISH at Tiffins right now, you can head on over to Yak & Yeti for an adventurous table-service meal that won’t break the bank quite as much.
Yak & Yeti
Yak & Yeti is located in the Asia section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom between Expedition Everest and Maharajah Jungle Trek. Over the years, we’ve found Yak & Yeti to have consistently good food and now we’re checking to see if some NEW menu items hold up to the standard!
Lately, we have discovered some secret menu items ALL over Disney World.
Starbucks Secret Menu Jack Skellington Frappuccino at Disney World
From the Jack Skellington Frappuccino at Starbucks to the Guacamole To-Go from La Cava del Tequila, we are ALWAYS on the hunt for those items not listed on the menu. Today, we visited the Nomad Lounge in Disney’s Animal Kingdom where we found a BRAND NEW secret item!
Cheers to 5 years with Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs!

It seems like just yesterday when we tasted Morimoto’s spare ribs for the first time. The swanky Asian-fusion restaurant has supplied Disney guests with their fair share of dim sum and sake over the last 5 years. To celebrate, Morimoto is hosting a special (and not-so-secret) menu on Wednesday, September 30th!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is still closed at the moment, but is scheduled to reopen on September 21st.
Grand Floridian Cafe
The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, however, are open, as well as several restaurants in the Grand Floridian. Today, we got the chance to eat at one of the restaurants in the Grand Floridian and found out about some super special secret menu items — you’ve got to check them out!
Halloween is almost here, and it’s time to get spooky! We’ve already started to enjoy Halloween in the parks, what with all the spooktacular merchandise and food we’ve found.
Jack Skellington Frappuccino from The Trolley Car at Hollywood Studios
But not all the spooky snacks are on the menu: some are secret, meaning you have to know how to order them, like the Jack Skellington Frappuccino.
