food IS a theme park
A BRAND-NEW restaurant is coming to Disney World later this year.
Swan and Dolphin Hotel
In the spring of 2025, Disney confirmed that the Dolphin Resort’s Shula’s Steakhouse – – named for famous Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula – – would be closing in June to make way for a new dining experience: Bourbon Steak.
Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort is undergoing a massive transformation.

We’ve already seen parts of it come to fruition with the new Din Tai Fung restaurant, Paseo, Centrico, and Tiendita from Chef Jose Andres, and more. But, it doesn’t sound like Disney has plans to stop this transformation anytime soon because we’ve got even more restaurants and shops to tell you about!
As the Disney Food Blog, it should come as no surprise that we take great interest in the dining options in and around Disney World. So when a Disney World restaurant is recognized by a major food magazine, you know we’ll be covering it!
Waldorf Astoria Orlando
Some of the best dining options at Disney World aren’t found at the parks, but instead at the hotels. Such is the case with the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. The first Waldorf Astoria to open outside of New York, this Disney World resort is home to a steakhouse that was just recognized as one of Florida’s BEST.
Disney just dropped a TON of updates about all the changes coming to Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort.

We FINALLY got an opening timeline for Din Tai Fung, a Disneyland restaurant we are SO excited about. But before we talk about what’s coming, we need to talk about what’s GONE. A restaurant recently closed in Downtown Disney, and Disney didn’t waste any time telling us what would go in that location. Two MORE new restaurants are coming soon. Say what?!
People can be picky when it comes to their food, and that’s okay!
You’re Going to Disney World!
Whether you’re picky about what you like to eat or where you eat, we don’t judge! We know plenty of people who will only go to particular restaurants if they’re in the mood for something specific– and we support it! After a lot of thinking (and food tasting), we get it. We put ourselves in a steak expert’s shoes and thought about where we would prefer to eat.
There’s a lot to do in Disney World to celebrate the Fourth of July!
Fourth of July Liege Waffle
Whether you want to try some red, white, and blue treats, get limited-time PhotoPass shots, or check out one of the most exclusive Magic Kingdom fireworks shows, there’s PLENTY to do in Disney World! And today only there’s a VERY limited time to get red, white, and blue…lobster??
Are you looking for the perfect spot to enjoy a 50th Anniversary meal in Walt Disney World?

Great news! A brand-new restaurant is opening on October 1st at Disney’s Contemporary Resort — Steakhouse 71. The new spot offers a fresh look to the location formerly home to The Wave, and the menu is filled with what are sure to be some delicious options. And now, we’ve got the restaurant’s pricing!
The Landing at Disney Springs
Disneyland reopened its theme parks at the end of April, but a LOT has changed since then.
Disneyland Hotel
Health and safety restrictions for face masks, distancing, and temperature checks have changed, fireworks returned a bit early, and restaurants in the parks and hotels continue to reopen. Now, we’ve gotten another update regarding Disneyland. But, instead of things reopening, this time 2 restaurants (including a popular restaurant at the Disneyland Hotel) are set to permanently close.
EPCOT is full of AMAZING food like decadent ice cream sandwiches and delicious fish and chips.
Oh Canada!
While we love visiting EPCOT’s (mostly year-round) festival booths to eat around the world, sometimes we need a more substantial meal! The quick service locations are great if you don’t want to have a long, leisurely meal, but the table service restaurants are SO worth a couple hours of your time! One of our favorites is Le Cellier Steakhouse in good ol’ Canada, and we recently stopped in to see if it still met our expectations!
