food IS a theme park
We’re heading into the month of February in Disney World, and there’s a LOT of excitement going on!
Animal Kingdom
We’ve got big events, returning favorites, new food to try, and so much more. So if you’re traveling to see the mouse in February, what do you need to know? Well today, we’re breaking down the top 10 things!
We have seen almost every Disney World restaurant reopen since the 2020 closures — with a few exceptions!

Lucky for us, though, Disney just announced that they are reopening three of their restaurants! And this morning, reservations became available for those spots.

Disney recently introduced Mobile Order To Go, a new way of enjoying food from some of your favorite table service restaurants at the Disney World Resort hotels! That’s right, you can now order table service food TO GO!
Our Table Service To Go feast!
In its initial rollout, we’ve been able to order food from Sanaa, The Wave, Kona Cafe, and Olivia’s Cafe! Now, Disney World is poised to add two MORE resort table service restaurants to this My Disney Experience feature!
Much like the shorter days and the changing leaves, nothing signals the arrival of the fall season quite like the Pumpkin Spice Latte. But what if we were to tell you that Disney World has a few seasonal treats that are SO yummy, SO iconic, and SO autumnal, that it would inspire you to ditch your PSL altogether?
PSL & Cinderella Castle…what could be better?
Today, we’re giving a shout-out to five standout seasonal treats that we think rank right up there with everyone’s favorite fall beverage from Starbucks.
As of August 24th, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort has officially reopened to guests!
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Oh, how we’ve missed the atmosphere of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort! Now that the hotel has welcomed back guests, we wanted to see how things are running. So we stopped by to take a look at Disney’s most recently reopened hotel!
We’re dropping in today with some juicy tips on how to make the MOST out of your Disney Dining.
We love to share our favorite tips for getting Advance Dining Reservations. But the thing is, we don’t ALWAYS have an ADR when we need one. Picture this: It’s dinner time and quick-service just isn’t going to cut it. Is there anywhere in Disney World you can get a last-minute reservation or walk-in?
There sure is! Join us as we take a look at the pretty big list of Disney restaurants where you can snag a last-minute reservation if you play your cards right.
And to help make sure you get GREAT EATS, we’re noting our DFB RECOMMENDED restaurants with a red DFB PREFERRED notation for you. There are plenty of kind of blah restaurants in Disney World that tend to always have dining reservations available…because they’re blah. 😉 Stick with these suggested spots and you’ll be firing on all cylinders!
If you’re planning to celebrate Easter at Walt Disney World, Ale & Compass at the Yacht Club Resort is offering a brunch!

Similar to breakfast at Ale & Compass, brunch will include the choice of an entree and access to a buffet packed with brunch items like yogurt parfaits, smoked salmon, Parker House rolls, wedge salad, flatbreads, and more! [Read more…]
The Yacht Club’s Ale & Compass Restaurant hit the Disney World dining scene just this past November.
But our first visit was for lunch, so it’s time to step back in for our dinner review. And since there are some fairly major menu changes from day to night at this still-new spot, it’s a great reason to check it out again.
Now, before we move forward with the review, just a reminder that the Ale & Compass Restaurant is one third of an entirely new Ale & Compass dining concept at Disney World’s Yacht Club, so it’s not to be confused with the Ale & Compass Lounge and The Market at Ale & Compass (a Counter Service meets Grab-and-Go setup).
The Ale & Compass Restaurant is the Table Service component of this trio, serving Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (each one Table Service Credit on the Disney Dining Plan).

And now that we’ve got the details out of the way, let’s check out the digs!
We have a full tour of Ale & Compass Restaurant available from our first visit, and you can peruse it by clicking here.
If you are looking for an eclectic meal in the heart of Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, Tiffins could be the right choice. Open just under two years, Tiffins is a Signature Dining experience — which means it requires two Disney Dining Plan table service credits (or quite an investment from your wallet).
But guests agree that dining in Tiffins is as much about the atmosphere as it is the food. The restaurant is inspired by travel and the wonderful adventures that take place when one steps out of one’s comfort zone. You’ll see nods to travel quite literally everywhere — from wall to wall. You’ll also find love for animals and conservation in the artwork at Tiffins, in keeping with the Park’s theme.
The food at Tiffins is an interesting blend of flavors and ingredients from around the globe, and it’s generally enjoyed by guests who yearn for something adventurous in their dining. Tiffins, and her sister Nomad Lounge, adjust their menus with some regularity (particularly on the Small Plates menus), so if you plan on dining here, you’ll want to keep an eye on the menus.
