food IS a theme park
Spring Break is in full swing and the parks are CROWDED this week!
Crowded Fantasyland During Spring Break
We braved the masses to bring you all the updates from Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom including new snacks, new merch plus some construction news!
Hello again from Disney Springs!! Earlier this week we sampled the Bacon Cheeseburger Mac and Cheese which we believe to be one of the items coming to the recently announced Mac and Cheese Truck which will soon join the other Disney Food Trucks.

And speaking other the other Food Trucks… they include the Fantasy Fare Food Truck which is where we’ve just tried ANOTHER new twist on mac and cheese. Introducing the Lobster and Shrimp Mac & Cheese!!
As Epcot’s Festival of the Arts prepares to close on February 25 signs the Flower and Garden Festival opening on March 6 are popping up! Our latest visit to Epcot saw some Flower and Garden food booths and topiaries being set up. But, that isn’t all, we also saw some construction progress, new merchandise, and some awesome chalk art!
Hello from Epcot!
We’ll start out with some Festival of the Arts chalk art — and deals!
Disneyland has seriously been killin’ it with all those amazing Get Your Ears On Celebration treats! We’ve already reviewed the awesome Fried Chicken and Beignets at Orleans Cafe in Disneyland and the yummy Mickey’s Chocolate Cup and Brownie at Fiddler, Fife, & Practical Cafe in Disney California Adventure Park – you can check out all the limited edition eats here. But today we got to try the FINAL snack to be released in the Get Your Ears On Celebration and we got the FIRST SLICE EVER — I present to you…the Celebration Cake!
Celebration Cake at Plaza Inn
We showed up at Disneyland’s Plaza Inn today anxiously awaiting the release of this limited edition treat only to be told it wasn’t going to be released until Friday…wait…WHAT?!
It seems like snack merchandise is the name of the game in 2019 and Disney is speaking our language! We first spotted the next wave of Disney snack goodies in Disneyland and couldn’t wait for them to make it to Walt Disney World. That day has arrived folks! I give you: SCENTED SNACK PILLOWS!!
Scented Dole Whip Pillow
We found this super cute Dole Whip pillow in Magic Kingdom this week. To find out what else is new in Magic Kingdom take a peek at our news round up! But there were even more scented pillows to be spotted throughout Disney World!
Happy Birthday, Disney California Adventure!
Disneyland Resort’s second park opened on February 8, 2001, so DCA is 18 years young today!
After a rocky start, I think DCA has really come into its own. With the addition of Pixar Pier, Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout, and now Marvel Land coming to the park, there’s so much to enjoy and to anticipate!
But today we wanted to celebrate this enterprising little park by sharing some of our favorite treats — old and new — to get at the snack locations and shops around DCA! Let us know which is YOUR favorite!
It’s not a visit to Disneyland Resort without stopping for a corn dog, and one of our favorite spots is Corn Dog Castle! Here you can get a traditional hand-dipped corn dog, but you can also order the Hot Link Corn Dog and the Cheese Stick Corn Dog. See our review here! The Hot Link is a spicy dog coated in classic corn batter. It’s delicious and packs a bit of a punch!
Hot Link Corn Dog
The Cheese Stick Corn Dog is exactly what you think: a stick of cheddar cheese that has been battered and deep fried. [Read more…]
It’s time to put on your hula skirt (or at least your stretchy pants!) and surf on into the newly reopened Tangaroa Terrace! This quick service spot located at the Disneyland Hotel has a fresh new look — and lots of tasty eats (including Dole Whip!) on the also refreshed menu!
Welcome Back, Tangaroa Terrace!
The lunch and dinner menu here has retained some of our old favorites (like Panko-Crusted Long Beans!) and added some newbies. [Read more…]
That’s no Mickey Bar, that’s a Mickey Krispy! Your eyes aren’t deceiving you — Magic Kingdom just gave us the ultimate snack mash up…
New Mickey Bar Krispy Treat
A classic Mickey Krispy that looks just like a Mickey Bar, melting ice cream included.
Move over Casey’s Corner corn dog nuggets — the BIG (corn) DOGS have arrived at Magic Kingdom’s Sleepy Hollow Refreshments!
Foot-long Corn Dog
Disney fans will remember when the hand-dipped corn dog came over to Sleepy Hollow in 2017. Sadly, after a short stint it was taken off the menu. We’re glad to say the corn dog is back and bigger than ever (just not hand-dipped this time)! This thing is seriously HUGE — it’s almost as tall as Cinderella Castle!
Have you ever wanted to just be able to walk onto popular Hollywood Studios attractions like Slinky Dog Dash, Tower of Terror, and Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster with no wait? How about being able to do that while eating all of the popcorn, soda, and Mickey bars you can possibly hold?
Hollywood Boulevard
Sounds like a dream, right? Well, guess what: it’s actually exactly what happens at After Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We’re here to tell you all about it, including our thoughts and how to determine if these events are a good investment for you. Ready? As Slinky Dog says, “hold on!”
