food IS a theme park
Is there any image more iconic in all of Walt Disney World than Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle?
Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Believe or not, there IS another place in Magic Kingdom that comes pretty darn close. It’s the Beast’s Castle in Fantasyland, and — much like Cinderella Castle — it is home to a uniquely themed dining experience that has become a must-do for many guests visiting Walt Disney World. [Read more…]
Aaaah, Disney POPCORN. Is any day in a Disney park complete without this golden goodie? Sure, you can pop some up at home anytime. But there is just something about strolling down Main Street with a buttery batch of popcorn that makes it a quintessential Disney snack experience.
Disney Popcorn
The thing about popcorn (obviously 😉 ) is that you have to carry it around with you. And the Disney Parks in the U.S.A. and around the world in destinations like Tokyo Disneyland (where popcorn and popcorn buckets have a following all their own) have made an absolute artform of Disney Popcorn Buckets, transforming them from simple food vessels into highly popular collectibles! Today we’re POPPING around to various Disney destinations to bring you the BEST Disney Popcorn Buckets OF ALL TIME. [Read more…]

Disneyland

Planning to “shop ’til you drop” in Disney Springs? Well, then… you’ll certainly want to fuel up beforehand to keep the whole shopping part of the deal going as long as possible.
Welcome to Disney Springs
That’s why we’re chatting about grabbing breakfast in Disney World’s shopping, dining, and entertainment district. But we’re not just talking about where to grab a cup o’ joe (though we’ll start there). Nope, we’re bringing you the scoop on the BEST BREAKFAST in Disney Springs!
Most people know Disney Springs as a great spot for a date night, complete with entertainment including live music and even a ticketed Cirque du Soleil show. In fact, most of the stores don’t even open prior to 10AM most days. So, you might think that there’s not much in the way of AM Eats going on in these parts.
But then, you may be surprised… [Read more…]

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!
Be Our Guest Restaurant
From the day it opened as part of New Fantasyland aaaalll the way back in November 2012, Be Our Guest Restaurant has been one of the most coveted 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, 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…]

Hear ye, hear ye! Lords and ladies of the Magic Kingdom! You are hereby most cordially invited to join us at Cinderella’s Royal Table!
A meal at Cinderella’s Royal Table is one of the most coveted dining experiences in Disney World. After all, you’re dining INSIDE the single most iconic landmark in all of Walt Disney World — Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle — in the presence of true Disney Royalty.
What could possibly go wrong?
Weeellll, as it turns out…a few things, actually. In fact, we asked our readers to tell us about some of their — ahem — not-so-magical experiences dining in the Castle: AKA Cinderella’s Royal Table FAILS. And they had some stories to share!
And now, we’re sharing their stories with YOU regarding this exceptionally popular experience in case you’re doing some future Disney World vacation planning! Because Cinderella’s Royal Table is one of the hottest tickets in town… but does that mean that YOU should plan to eat there?

Disney World’s EPCOT will reopen to guests again starting July 15th, along with Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom reopened over the weekend).
Epcot Entrance
Wednesday is a big day for guests at EPCOT for another reason, too… it is also the day that the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival kicks off! And even though the Festival will run well into the fall, guests at the Festival will also experience aspects of the park’s SPRING event, the Flower & Garden Festival!
Good Morning from Sanaa!
And I don’t say that lightly. I think any morning is a good one when you’re starting it at Animal Kingdom Lodge. And last fall, Sanaa — located in the Resort’s Kidani Village — started offering guests one more way to do that with the arrival of the Kuamsha Breakfast.
Sanaa operates as a Table Service restaurant for lunch and dinner. Breakfast, though, is a different story. Featuring Quick Service entrees as well as Grab-and-Go options (hot and cold items), breakfast is a pretty casual affair.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not a unique experience.

Upon approaching Cast Members at the check-in desk (where you would typically mention your Advance Dining Reservation for lunch or dinner), you’ll receive a menu listing your breakfast options. [Read more…]
