food IS a theme park
If you haven’t been paying close attention to the latest Disney news, you’ve got a LOT to catch up on!
Headed to Disney World?
From restaurant changes and new menu offerings to a Disney version of Amazon Prime (?!) there’s a lot for us to go over. So sit back, grab your favorite drink, and let’s catch up on all the latest Disney news together.
Menu changes have hit Disney World restaurants left and right, and more are on the way.
Menu Changes Have Impacted a Lot of Places
At Magic Kingdom, we’ve seen treats go missing, new snacks arrive, and menus get overhauled. But now we’ve got some more menu change news for the Most Magical Place on Earth.
We may be a little biased, but we would argue that Disney World has some of the best — and unique — bars in the world.
The Edison
First, where else are you going to get a boozy POG juice? Or where you can try margaritas unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else? Or where you can drink cocktails IN SPACE? Now, Disney World is offering a NEW experience that will let you try new cocktails EVERY week.
Raise your hand if you love Disney food! 🙋 There are so many new restaurants coming to Disney World in the near future and you know what that means — MORE. DISNEY. FOOD.
Disney Springs
The brand new Connections Cafe and Eatery opened in EPCOT a couple months ago which gives you another quick service option (and Starbucks location) in the park. Now, we’re waiting on several other restaurants to open including Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Hollywood Studios, The Cake Bake Shop on Disney’s BoardWalk, and more! Another restaurant we’ve been waiting to hear more about is Summer House on the Lake which is set to open at Disney Springs sometime next year, but luckily there are other locations so we know what to expect!
If you want a casual, French-style café experience in Disney World, there are a few options to choose from.

Le Petit Café in Disney’s Riviera Resort and Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs are two notable French-style spots to try, and both have similar vibes with different offerings. If you want to enjoy a coffee and a pastry or even just a unique atmosphere, either spot is a great option, and here’s why you should consider trying Le Petit Café!
Disney World has not been shy about price increases recently, with several restaurants seeing at least small increases to items on their menus. We’ve noticed these changes at Tokyo Dining, Riverside Mill Food Court, Kimonos, and more in just the last week.
Japan in EPCOT’s World Showcase
Now, another popular restaurant has seen some big price increases, with items going up in cost by anywhere from $1 to $8! Check out all the details here so that you’re prepared before you visit this spot again. [Read more…]
This is THE week for Star Wars announcements.

But it’s not just about Star Wars TV shows, movies, and video games. We’re also getting some updates about what’s coming soon to Disney Parks, as well as what’s coming to Disney Cruise Line’s new ship, the Disney Wish. We previously told you about the Wish’s ‘Star Wars’-themed Hyperspace Lounge, but now we’ve got even MORE details!
Disney Springs in Disney World is home to more than 60 places to eat, many of which have world-class dining options available, so it takes a LOT for a restaurant to stand out here. But one location that definitely has a spot near the top of our must-try list is Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Kitchen.
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
From Thigh High Chicken Biscuits to decadent Mac and Cheese to their signature Hummingbird Cake, we’ve very rarely been disappointed by any of the food at this spot. As if we needed a reason to visit Chef Art Smith’s again soon, the restaurant just announced 8 NEW menu items that are available now! [Read more…]
It’s almost Mother’s Day and Disney World is celebrating!
Celebrate mom!
There are a bunch of special treats available, like cupcakes, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a special Dole Whip, along with some one-day-only brunches, like the one over at Steakhouse 71. We’ve already told you about a lot of the offerings, but there are some that aren’t as well known — like a SECRET MENU cocktail at a popular Disney hotel!
Another day in Disney World, another new snack to try!
YUM
We go to Disney World ALL the time, so we love when new foods pop up for us to test out. Recently, we’ve seen some fun items for May the 4th, like a Millennium Falcon sundae and festive popcorn, as well as some new menu items added to popular restaurants! Today, we noticed a brand new drink over in one Disney World park, so come along with us to try it out!
