food IS a theme park
Snacking your way through Hollywood Studios might be the best decision you make all day.
Hollywood Studios
There’s something about the combination of immersive lands, long wait times, and that Florida heat that makes you crave a solid snack every couple of hours. And if you’ve been wondering which snacks are actually worth your time (and money), we’ve got you. These are ten of our go-to snacks in Hollywood Studios — the ones we come back to again and again.
Well, it’s certainly been a busy week for Disney World, hasn’t it?
Mickey Lemon Cookie
We’ve been getting TONS of details about spooky season, most notably about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, including dates and things you can expect at the parties this year. In fact, for some Disney World visitors, tickets are already on sale! Yep, we’re about halfway to Halloween, so it’s time to start planning for spooky fun. However, we’re going to come back to spring in Disney World to look at restaurant changes that happened this week.
This week marked the start of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, so we’ve been a little obsessed with checking out everything you can see and do at the festival, as well as EVERYTHING you can eat.
Blackcurrant Gin Cocktail
We’ve even told you about the BEST food and drinks at the festival so you can try them out for yourself. However, we’ve also been keeping an eye on those pesky Disney World restaurant menus that are always changing, and yes, we’ve got some changes to share with you this week. So on with it!
Well, what a week, right?
Chicken & Donut
We’ve been busy trying some new snacks in Disney World, including an Up treat that sorta made us sad. But we were VERY happy with the Chicken and Donut combo we discovered in Disney Springs. We also had the opportunity to revisit one of our FAVORITE Disney World restaurants to try out some new menu items. While all that was going on, Disney World was busy changing up some restaurant menus, so let’s see what’s been updated.
We’ve been doing this whole Disney Food Blog thing for a while now, which means we’ve got our absolute FAVORITE eats around the parks and more.
Trolley Car Cafe
And, if you’ve been a DFB reader for any length of time, you might know just how fond we are of Disney’s whoopie pies — more specifically, the Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie you can get at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We couldn’t help ourselves when we were in the park the other day, so we grabbed one for old-time’s sake!
It looks like 2025 is going to be a busy year in Disney World — y’all, it’s only January, and so much is already going on.
Bar RIVA at Disney’s Riviera Resort
Now, we’ve already told you ALL about the EPCOT Festival of the Arts (and you can read all our food booth reviews here), but we’ve also seen the phased closure of Dinoland, U.S.A. begin in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to make way for a new land, Pueblo Esperanza. There’s a ton of construction happening at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom, too. SO MUCH. But that’s not all. Disney World has been updating its restaurant menus, so we need to get you caught up on the menu changes that happened this week.
We’ve been thinking a lot about Disney World food recently — okay, we lie, we think about Disney World food ALL the time. That’s how we got here!
Vegan Spicy Falafel Pocket from Starbucks/Main Street Bakery
We have been looking forward to the rest of the year, though, and filling you in on our must-have foods for 2025. We’re also looking forward to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts starting soon, which will bring a variety of food booths and TONS of art-inspired food and drinks (and we are STOKED). However, we’re also starting to see more restaurant menu changes come in (it got quiet there for a while during the holidays…), so we want to make sure you stay updated on those, too.
Happy New Year! It’s 2025, and a LOT of exciting things are coming to Disney World this year.
Trader Sam’s Tahitian Torch
We’ve got new shows, a new nighttime parade, new lands beginning construction, and SO MUCH MORE to look forward to. We’ve even got a few new dining spots, including a Pirates of the Caribbean tavern and a Spaceship Earth lounge. However, now that the New Year has started, Disney World has been busy adjusting some of its existing restaurant menus, so let’s see what’s changed this week.
The holiday season may have arrived right after Halloween in Disney World, but it’s in FULL swing right now ahead of the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays.
Christmas is here!
That means ALL the holiday decorations have gone up, the Christmas trees are shining bright in the lobbies of Disney World hotels, and holiday snacks are literally turning up everywhere. But you know us — we love a good challenge, so once again, this year, we’re going to try to eat ALL the holiday snacks we can get our hands on. For this round, we’re hitting up Disney’s Hollywood Studios to get you reviews of EVERYTHING you should — or should not — eat in Disney World this holiday season.
It’s been a great week in Disney World, especially when it comes to food.
Meal at Nine Dragons
Mostly, we’re just excited that we finally got the menus for the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, which starts on November 29th — and yes, we’ll be running around EPCOT all day eating EVERYTHING. We also tried some new menu items at Sci-Fi Dine In in Hollywood Studios. We also spent some time researching Disney World restaurant menus, and we’ve got some changes to tell you about.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
