food IS a theme park
Spooky season may be coming to a close, but you can have a roar-some time during Christmas!
T-Rex in Disney Springs
And, T-Rex in Disney Springs is serving up delicious food AND a meet-and-greet with the jolliest man out there! (Hint: he gives the BEST presents!!)
We are just HOURS away from the start of Turkey season!
T-Rex Restaurant
Disney Springs is already getting ready for some feasts with Thanksgiving menus at Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, Terralina Crafted Italian, Raglan Road, and more! And, now there’s another restaurant stomping into the mix with its roaring menu!
We’ve been going un poco loco for the Plaza de la Familia in Disney California Adventure and the discounted guac in Downtown Disney!
Tortilla Jo’s
And, now we’re ready for another fiesta for Día de los Muertos with plenty of food, drinks, and fun!
Welcome back, DFB foodies! We’re here with another DFB Video, and today we’re chatting about some GREAT Disney food!
Enchanted Rose
You don’t have to go into the parks at Disney World to get your fix of restaurant hopping. We’re here to tell you about some of the best restaurants, classic and new, around the Disney property!
With Halloween just around the corner, we’re setting our sights set on the next main event coming to Disney Parks: Thanksgiving!

Several special holiday menus have popped up already around Disney for guests to choose from, like over at the Rose and Crown Dining Room, Boatwright’s, and The Wave, but we’ve found a few more to share with you today! These menus will be available for guests to enjoy on Thursday, November 28.
Dinner and dessert? We’re always up for a great meal and a delicious treat in Disney World!
Flying Fish at Disney’s BoardWalk
And, now we can celebrate girls’ night, date night, or even fun with the family because there are new AH-MAZING items for your evening out!
Can you believe Turkey Time is almost here again?!
Boatwright’s Dining Hall
We can’t either! But we were reminded that Thanksgiving is just around the corner when Disney began releasing their Thanksgiving menus this week!
We’ve already told you about the Thanksgiving offerings at Rose & Crown Dining Room, Terralina Crafted Italian, the House of Blues Olivia’s Cafe, and The Wave, but now Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Port Orleans Resort — Riverside has just released the menu of their Southern Thanksgiving Feast!
With all the great food options at Disney World’s BoardWalk, Big River Grille & Brewing Works hasn’t landed on our must-do list for that area.
It has a fantastic location on Crescent Lake within walking distance to four other area resorts, as well as Epcot AND Hollywood Studios. It also has an on-site microbrewery! Yet Big River Grille has remained a ho-hum spot for grabbing mediocre (in our experience) American-style pub grub.
Big River Grille & Brewing Works
Still, we are here for YOU, dear readers, and we are here to provide you fair reviews of every restaurant option available to you, even if it hasn’t won any gold stars from us over the years.
So we’re back on the BoardWalk at Big River Grille seeing if it’s had a clandestine renaissance.
When it comes to restaurants on the Monorail Resort loop at Walt Disney World, a few probably spring immediately to mind: California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa (well, maybe not that last one, but we’re on a mission to make it a must-do for everyone!).
But even though those headliners get the most attention from guests (and are regularly enjoyed here at DFB!), lesser-known restaurants on the loop often bring just as much quality and thought to their menus. The Wave… of American Flavors on the lobby level of the Contemporary can be a surprisingly good destination meal — especially for breakfast. There’s a SUPER SECRET DFB TIP included in our review that we think you’re going to want to know about… .
The Wave bills itself as crafting new American flavors that incorporate international tastes, too. The focus of the restaurant’s fluid menu is on seasonal and local ingredients, and while we don’t see the menu changing as often as, say, The Wave’s upstairs sister-friend California Grill, the menu here does have a level of freshness that you don’t find everywhere.
The Wave serves up three meals a day, with lunch and dinner being a la carte. (See our dinner review here!) Breakfast offers both buffet and a la carte options, making it a great place to grab an early meal with the fam. I met up with friends to check out the offerings and see if some old favorites and new additions are still worth a journey to The Wave.
The Wave… of American Flavors
The Wave is located in the lobby of the Contemporary, so if you arrive by Monorail, you’ll need to head downstairs to the ground level. [Read more…]
Pilots, navigators, engineers, and commanders — we’re getting closer and closer to the projected 2019 opening date for one of Epcot’s newest restaurants. Guests will hopefully be able to blast off soon, especially since construction appears to have made some serious progress… .
Mission: Space
The scaffolding that was once outside the upcoming space-themed restaurant has come down!
