food IS a theme park
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!
Merry (Early!) Christmas from Walt Disney World!
If you are planning to spend some of the Holiday Season in Walt Disney World, then you are likely already aware that it’s NEVER too early to start planning!
We’ve seen Dole Whip donuts and Dole Whip with rum recently, but now it’s finally time for a new Dole Whip Cupcake!
Dole Whip Cupcake with Sauce in Pipette
DFB Instagram follower @belleoftheparks found this Dole Whip Cupcake during her stay at Disney World’s All Star Music Resort.
This fun treat comes with sweet sauce in a pipette that you squeeze over the top of the cupcake. @belleoftheparks reports this tastes exactly like a Dole Whip!
Looks like the pipettes might become our next trend at Disney! This is our second pipette finding in the past few weeks — remember those Boozy Beignets at Scat Cats Lounge in Port Orleans French Quarter Resort!

Disneyland Resort
‘s Rancho del Zocalo is a terrific quick service spot to grab southwest-inspired eats like Zocalo Nachos and tacos of all kinds.
Rancho del Zocalo
We love the vibe here, and the eats have been seriously good over the years. The breakfast they served here for a while was truly delicious. (Sadly it’s gone away!)
Let’s say you’re in Disney Springs and you really want to try some of the wine and cuisine at Wine Bar George.
But you’ve only got a limited amount of time to spend in Disney Springs. That’s where The Basket at Wine Bar George comes in!
The Basket offers a Quick Service component to Wine Bar George — the new wine bar in Disney Springs headed by none other than Master Sommelier George Miliotes. This spot boasts everything you could want to create a picnic “basket” inspired by a Master Sommelier… including wines on tap served by carafe or by the glass!
Let’s find out what’s in The Basket!
The atmosphere is… well, quite simple!
The Basket
The Basket is essentially a Counter Service window, tucked right underneath the upstairs outdoor terrace seating of Wine Bar George.
Confusing title? Yeah…lil bit.
Those of you with a sharp eye may have noticed that the Mickey Check nutrition program has a new name.
You will now find the Disney Check instead of the Mickey Check on kids’ menus and menu boards in Disney World and Disneyland. The emblem appears to be remaining the same with the green check mark, yellow Mickey, and purple border.
The Disney Check program works to develop kids’ meals that meet Disney Nutrition Guidelines and make them easily identifiable on kids’ menus. The Mickey Check emblem started appearing on menus in 2013 as part of a larger nutrition program launched in 2006 by Disney with the goal of providing nutritious food choices for kids.

Each Disney Check meal aims to deliver three or more nutritious food groups, including vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. They also use recipes and ingredients that incorporate less sodium, sugar, and saturated and trans fats.
So, you’ll still find nutritious meals for your kiddos, like the Mickey Meatloaf at Be Our Guest Restaurant, it’s just that they’ll be under the Disney Check name instead.

We have always thought of EPCOT’s Restaurant Marrakesh as one of Disney World’s most interesting restaurants. It has taken great pains to make authentic Moroccan food appealing to guests with any palate. They are continuing in this tradition by adding some unique Moroccan specialties to their menu.
Marrakesh Sign and Menu Book
Their first introduction is Pan-Seared Lamb Loin Medallions and Hummus Rosemary Pancakes. This dish comes with zucchini, olives, and toasted garlic au jus.

Some new appetizers are on the menu include Mussels Casablanca. The dish couples steamed mussels with capers, tomatoes, and saffron cream sauce. You’ll also find a new Goat Cheese with Crispy Bread available as an app. [Read more…]
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re talking about things in Disney World that just aren’t as good as they used to be!
New Carrot Cake Cookie at Hollywood Studios
Yep. We’re turning up the nostalgia a bit and sharing some things from Disney World’s days of yore that we miss, or that have changed somehow that just doesn’t quite capture the magic the same way as it used to. But don’t worry! We’re ALSO sharing a few things that are better (or will be in the near future)! So join us on a sentimental journey as we share some things that just aren’t as good as they used to be in our latest DFB YouTube Video! [Read more…]
Lots and LOTS of changes are taking place at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort! Though the current construction of a tower — which will bring 500 additional guest rooms and rooftop dining to the Resort — will deliver the biggest transformation, there are other subtle and not-so-subtle changes taking place, too.
Coronado Springs Resort Tower Construction
One of those not-so-subtle changes is the addition of an on-the-water lounge, which guests will be able to visit by way of a series of bridges from various areas of the Resort. And now, this upcoming bar and grill has a name: Villa del Lago! [Read more…]
Unicorns are everywhere at the Disney Parks
these days, and there’s no better place to find them than atop a cupcake! Most recently we visited this sparkly beauty from the BoardWalk Bakery!
Unicorn Cupcake at Boardwalk Bakery
And before that we found them at Gasparilla Island Grill, where the unicorn trend met the rose gold trend in full Disney food trend fashion!
The Monte Cristo Sandwich at Woody’s Lunchbox in Hollywood Studios’ Toy Story Land has become the first “blink and you miss it” item in this new Land. The Monte Cristo is no longer available on the Lunch/Dinner menu.
Woody’s Lunch Box
Initially we were excited to see this on the menu thinking about the signature must-have Monte Cristo in Disneyland’s Cafe Orleans. However, we found this did not measure up to the Disneyland sandwich as it was more a grilled sandwich with a side of raspberry jam.
