food IS a theme park
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.

We knew it was coming, but now the day has finally come — another Disney Springs store is closing, and it’s closing SOON.
Francesca’s
Back in the middle of January, the company Francesca’s announced that it would soon be closing ALL of its stores around the United States after 25 years of business, and that includes the store in Disney Springs. Previously, we didn’t have a date as to when that closure would take place, but now we do, and it’s coming sooner than we thought.
Not every Magic Kingdom ride is worth the wait, and some of the most hyped attractions in the park are quietly eating up your precious park time.

We’ve long known that Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs is one of our favorite spots to eat, especially for brunch, but a lot of people forget just how incredible their lunch and dinner menu is as well.
This burger is EVERYTHING
We ourselves do the same from time to time, so when we heard there was a new burger available on the menu, we knew we had to go check it out, just to see if it would live up to the hype we nearly always feel about this spot. And WOW, let’s just say, this burger was so good, we think we’ll be dreaming about it for WEEKS.
If you’ve ever wandered through the Walt Disney World Dolphin and thought, “You know what this evening needs? A fancy cocktail, some crab nachos, and a brief moment where I pretend I’m the kind of person who casually says things like ‘Let’s split the tuna tartare,’” then congratulations, bluezoo is calling your name.

Todd English’s bluezoo, tucked inside the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel in the EPCOT Resort Area, has long been one of those under-the-radar grown-up Disney World dining spots that feels just a little more polished, a little more date-night, and a little more “let’s leave the stroller traffic behind for two seconds.” The restaurant is a AAA Four-Diamond signature dining location known for coastal cuisine with international and New American influences, plus a sleek underwater-inspired design that leans elegant instead of kitschy. In other words: it’s seafood with a glow-up.
If there’s one thing you should know about us here at DFB, it’s that we’re BIG fans of loaded fries.
YUM!
We’ve tried dozens of different varieties of loaded fries in Disney World over the years, and some of them have been standouts that we order over and over again. One of the best spots to visit if you’re a loaded fry enthusiast is The Daily Poutine in Disney Springs, and we stopped by to try one of their seasonal options!
