food IS a theme park
There’s a LOT more than meets the eye in Disney World restaurants!Â
Be Our Guest
Although obviously whimsical, delicious, and MAGICAL, you can also discover some unexpected secrets and surprises while dining in Disney World!
Bonjour, ma chère and mon cher! “It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you” to Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom!
From the day it opened as part of New Fantasyland in November 2012, Be Our Guest Restaurant has been and remains one of the most in-demand dining experiences in Disney World. From the onset, it was unlike any other restaurant in Disney World, offering a variety of dining experiences (based on the time of day: breakfast, lunch, or dinner) in a setting plucked straight out of one of the most beloved Disney animated films, Beauty and the Beast.
The demand for Be Our Guest is rivaled, in fact, only by a meal at that other Castle in Magic Kingdom 😉 — Cinderella’s Royal Table. And much like we did when we discussed Cinderella’s Royal Table recently, we asked our readers to share some of the struggles (or “fails”) that they’ve experienced at Be Our Guest Restaurant in the hopes of helping future visitors feel better prepared for what to expect and consider if this is truly the best option for their vacation dining choices.
So grab your enchanted mirror — since I know you keep one handy! — and gaze with us into this remarkable setting… [Read more…]
Professional football teams aren’t the only ones competing for glory this weekend! Frankly, our Best Snacks of 2021 Bracket is JUST as exciting as the Super Bowl, and we’re whittling things down with Round 2!Â
Spring Rolls from Magic Kingdom
Since Disney World has SO many classic — and beloved — snacks, it’s REALLY hard to pick a favorite. So that’s where YOU come in! We asked our readers on Instagram to weigh in!  [Read more…]
Hello to all of our DFB Friends from Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
We spent some time at Magic Kingdom on New Year’s Day checking to see what 2021 updates we could find! Are you ready? Let’s go!
We hope you’ve got your sweet tooth ready!
The Grey Stuff Cupcake
The end of the holiday season means that we have the bad news of having to say bye to our favorite holiday treats. But, the good news is we get to kick-off 2021 with the return of several favorites! We’ve welcomed back the Kakamora Float and the Wookie Cookie, and now it’s time to say “OMG we missed you,” to another beloved eat!
Did you hear him shout it from the rooftops? Gaston is (very) proud to let you know that his Tavern has reopened to guests in Magic Kingdom!
Gaston’s Tavern
As of today, Magic Kingdom guests can once again stop by Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland to grab a LeFou’s Brew, enjoy a Warm Cinnamon Roll, and admire the statue of Gaston just outside the counter service spot placed there in tribute by… Gaston himself. 😉
In addition to the classic snacks mentioned above, guests at the Tavern will also find a new addition to the menu: The Grey Stuff Cupcake (also referred to as The Master’s Cupcake). [Read more…]
If you’ve been with us for a while, you probably know we love cupcakes!
Gaston’s Tavern
When we’re in Disney World, we tend to keep our eye on the prize — and by prize, we mean delicious cupcakes covered in a mound of icing! Today, we learned that Gaston’s Tavern will be reopening this Friday, and that instantly had us dreaming about Cinnamon Rolls…but it looks like that’s not the ONLY exciting treat in our future. Is that a new cupcake on the menu?!
We’ve been baking up a storm recently with all those amazing Disney recipes (we’ve had Mickey Waffles like three times this week already).

And, while you’re singing and dancing around your kitchen as you cook, you’re going to want to pull out your best silverware and plates for this next delicious treat!
While we’ve been watching LOTS of Disney+ and building our own DIY Cinderella Castle out of toilet paper, we’ve worked up quite the appetite staying at home.

Let this serve as a reminder to not only book your dining reservations as early as possible, but to also keep checking because you never know what can happen 🙂
Be Our Guest Restaurant
