food IS a theme park
Are you as pumped about Disney’s upcoming movie, Raya and the Last Dragon, as we are?!

The brand-new animated film releases in theaters on March 5th and Disney+ subscribers can watch it with Premier Access on the same day. In honor of the special occasion, we’ve spotted a lot of new themed celebrations in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, including snacks, a sand sculpture, and new options at the Animation Experience! Let’s try out one of those fun new treats!
February is Black History Month and there are lots of great ways to “Celebrate Soulfully” all around Disney World, including at Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
You can check out some great Soul-inspired artwork, check out unique jazz performances, and even eat some special snacks! Today we got the chance to try one of the new treats that has arrived for Black History Month. And (spoiler alert) we think this cake was SO good Tiana could have baked it herself!
Oh Gideon’s Bakehouse, how dearly we love you.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
If you’ve been keeping up with us, you know that we fell hard for this cookie haven that opened last month at Disney Springs. And, really, it’s hard not to fall head over heels for a 1/2 pound cookie the size of your face! Today is the first day of the month so out with the old Coffee Toffee Cookie and in with a NEW cookie of the month (and MORE)! The bakehouse has been releasing a limited-time cookie each month so guests can explore new flavors of ginormous cookies. Be still our hearts.
In the winter, it’s natural to lean towards warm eats and drinks.
Vivoli il Gelato
That’s why a staple for this time of year is hot chocolate! And, while hot and cold aren’t usually put together for delicious treats, a new dish at Vivoli il Gelato combines these two opposites!
Guess where we are???
Everglazed
We’re BACK at Disney Springs’ newest restaurant today! You might remember when we reviewed Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew yesterday. Today, we’re back to try a few more items, and we’re bringing you MORE thoughts on those eats!
I feel like we have an embarrassment of sweet riches in Disney World right now! Last week, it was cookies from Gideon’s Bakehouse, and now it’s donuts from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew. If your 2021 resolution was to eat ALL the sweets, Disney Springs is definitely here to help you accomplish that!
Everglazed Donuts
Gideon’s has temporarily closed at the moment to prepare for their grand opening. But earlier this morning the brand NEW Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew opened in Disney Springs. We were there at the crack of dawn to try a BUNCH of their donuts, some of their specialty drinks, a grilled cheesy donut sammy, and more.
We LOVE it when our Disney World treats come with hidden surprises!
Cheetah Brownie
We were greeting the elephants and monkeys at Disney’s Animal Kingdom today. All that socializing made us a little tired. We decided to stop into Creature Comforts for a Starbucks coffee and check out the treat case. A couple new treats caught our eye. One dessert, in particular, attracted us immediately. Mickey was looking fetching in animal print so we picked it up to see if it’s as wildly tasty as it looks!
We’re BACK at the Most Magical Place on Earth. And no, we’re talking about the Magic Kingdom!
Coffee Toffee Cookie at Gideon’s
We’re talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse. A legitimate cookie haven that serves 1/2 pound cookies the size of your face. We’re in love, we’re in love, and we don’t care who knows it! Ok, we won’t get too ahead of ourselves. They’re good cookies, but we still have a lot to say about them! Today is the first day of the month and that means a NEW cookie was released at Gideon’s. The bakehouse will release limited-time cookies every month for guests to try out. We headed back to CookieLand, USA to review the newest cookie and taste a few more surprise items!
Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure OFFICIALLY reopened today for limited dining and shopping, so there’s TONS to see (and EAT!) there today!
Storytellers Statue
And while we LOVE eating at Award Wieners and Carthay Circle, there’s new grub at Downtown Disney, Disneyland’s shopping and dining district, too!
We’re at the Beach Club Marketplace in Disney’s Beach Club Resort checking out ALL SORTS of new holiday goodies!
Trio of Holiday Fudge
Making their festive debuts at this counter service spot are a Trio of Holiday Fudge, a plant-based Peppermint Brownie, and the Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, which we’re bringing you now. Because why should Santa get all the cookies for the holidays? 😉 [Read more…]
