food IS a theme park
A man robbed Paddlefish, a Disney Springs restaurant, just after midnight on Monday, September 15th.
Paddlefish
Paddlefish is right along the water, and according to WFTV9, the man swam up in scuba gear and a wetsuit. He then swam away after stealing somewhere between $10,000-$20,000.
We love finding Disney essentials right on Amazon, where we can get them shipped to our house in two days with free shipping. We especially love it when items are on sale or extremely affordable.

Here are nine Disney finds you won’t want to go without, that either bring the magic back home or help you prepare for your next park trip.
Love Halloween and Christmas, and can’t decide between the two? Then you probably love A Nightmare Before Christmas since it practically celebrates both holidays!

We love this film as much as the next person, which is why we’re extra thrilled that there are NEW shirts inspired by the iconic film on Amazon right now!
We’re big ice cream fans here at Disney Food Blog, and we’ve probably tried every flavor imaginable.

Salt & Straw at Disney Springs has tested us with insane flavors like Fried Chicken Ice Cream, Deviled Egg Ice Cream, Spinach Cake with Chocolate Tahini Fudge, and Charred Corn Curd, Cotija & Tajin. Yep, we thought we tried them all, but we just found a flavor we’re not sure we’re willing to try.
There are LOTS of options for getting your DOLE Whip while you are at Disney World! Of course, there is always the classic and beloved Pineapple DOLE Whip that you can find across Disney World, and it is available in lots of variations. You can get Pineapple DOLE Whip in a float, on top of a pineapple upside-down cake, made with alcohol, and more. But the DOLE Whip possibilities don’t stop there, as there are also a variety of flavors you can try!
Dole Whip
Some of the flavor options you can find around Disney World include pineapple, strawberry, orange, lemon, vanilla, coconut, and more. We recently stopped by Disney’s Old Key West Resort to grab a delicious DOLE Whip treat, and we are bringing you our full review!
We love Disney Cruise Line. It’s like taking the magic of the theme parks right into a multiple-day adventure with fun characters, incredible entertainment, and we’re, obviously, huge fans of the food onboard, too.

As much as we love Disney Parks, we’re also big fans of Universal Studios. Universal’s CEO just hinted at potentially creating a cruise line, and we’re trying not to freak out!
Picture this: you’re planning your day at Hollywood Studios. You know which Star Wars attraction you’re starting with in the morning and which Fantasmic showing you’re going to see. Lightning Lanes are booked, and you even know which popcorn bucket is coming home with you. It’s all set, except… where are you eating?
50’s Prime Time
Sometimes the sit-down restaurants in Hollywood Studios can feel limited, but there are some real hidden gems out there that are worthy of an Advanced Dining Reservation. We’re heading to 50’s Prime Time Cafe, located by Echo Lake in Hollywood Studios, to see if this should be added to your Disney World itinerary. Ready to eat?
Christmas is here! Well, it might still be hot out, but Amazon sure does think it is!

Amazon dropped its top 100 Christmas decorations list, and we’re kinda obsessed with it all. If you’re ready to deck the halls and play Christmas music till December, get ready to hit “add to cart” on all of your new favorite finds. We pulled out a few of our favorites, but you might just have to shop the whole list.
Ah, the magic of Disney World at Christmastime. Main Street, U.S.A. has snow fluttering down as lights are twinkling all around. You won’t miss the massive Christmas tree right in front of Magic Kingdom, and everything feels 10x more special than it normally does.
Magic Kingdom
To make the most of the magic, you need to plan early so you know where to stay, what to eat, and how to spend your time. 2025 Christmas is only three months away, but really, you should already be looking forward to 2026. Why do we need to plan so early? Let’s talk about it!
Disney World has frequently revamped its hotel rooms at different resorts throughout the years to keep them fresh and relevant.
Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort
Some of these refurbishments have been well-received, like the Polynesian Village Resort room retheme to Moana, but others, like the Contemporary Resort room refurb to The Incredibles, are a bit more controversial. Now, the rooms at Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort have been refurbished as well, and we got a look at the updated rooms to help you decide if you’d like to stay there on your next trip.
