food IS a theme park
It’s been about a year since the popular — and somewhat controversial — Cake Bake Shop opened at Walt Disney World’s Boardwalk, and we’re still asked often: “Is it worth the hefty price tag?”
A new cake slice!
After a construction process that felt like it lasted a decade, the restaurant by Gwendolyn Rogers opened to positive reviews for its food… and some side-eye about its prices. So a year later, what do we think of the shop’s $20+ cake slices and other treats? Let’s find out…
It’s time we had a little chat y’all — and I’m afraid I’ve contributed to this widespread problem taking over EPCOT.
Look at that line!
One of the most popular EPCOT festivals is finally here and while we’ve already had a chance to eat and experience EVERYTHING there is to do at this year’s festival, it’s just getting started! But, there’s one particular phenomenon that we’ve spotted taking over EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival that isn’t really all that necessary and we need you to hear us out.
Boo…to YOU! Boo to you, and you, and you, and you…Happy Halloween! We are back at Magic Kingdom for even more Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party fun. Of course, that also means we are trying out even more food, so you know what items are a must-get and what items you might want to skip.
Not a Poisoned Apple Slushy
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a separately ticketed event that happens on select evenings through October 31st. This family-friendly Halloween event features trick-or-treating, rare character meet and greets, exclusive entertainment, and over 45 themed treats you can grab. Let’s head over to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe for a party-exclusive item!
It’s time to get all not-so-scary, Disney fans!
Captain Hook Treasure Whoopie Pie
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back, and we are here in Magic Kingdom to check out all of the festivities! While the parade, entertainment, and trick-or-treating might be at the top of your list, the snacks are at the top of ours. Come with us to check out three new snacks at this year’s special ticketed event.
Yeehaw! A new snack item is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Toy Story Land
Woody’s Lunch Box has been full of Andy’s favorite snacks for a long time, but now it’s time to throw in a treat for Sid!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
Warm Swiss Cheese Raclette
Disney just dropped the FULL LIST of everything you can eat on the cheese crawl at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival this year. Let’s not waste any time, check out everything you can get here!
*deep breath* AHHHH! Sorry for yelling — we had to. Why are we yelling? The highly anticipated 2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is returning SOON. And after weeks of waiting and daydreaming about the Adobo Yuca Fries at The Fry Basket and the Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup at the Canada Pavilion, it is time for Disney to release this year’s full list of food booths. We can’t stand the suspense any longer!
EPCOT
The Food and Wine Festival will run in EPCOT from August 28th to November 22nd. This is one of Disney’s most popular seasonal events (people LOVE food…and people SUPER LOVE wine), so expect some hardcore foodie fans to visit the park on opening day. But before the event kicks off, you might want to go in with a plan — there is a LOT of food and drinks to choose from! Save this post NOW, start taking notes, and look out for our full reviews of ALLLLL the new and returning snacks. Let’s go!
Ah, the holiday season. It’s a time for giving. For celebrating. For having FUN with your friends and family! And as much as we’d love to soak in the holiday spirit all year long, we do have a schedule to stick to — especially in the Disney theme parks. So, when does Christmas start at Disneyland Resort?
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Hoping to visit Disneyland Resort for the holiday season? You’ve got to time it just right! There’s a LOT going on in the Disney theme parks (like a mega 70th Anniversary celebration) between now and December 25th, so it’s up to you to decide what’s worth checking out. From Halloween parties to Christmastime events, I’ve done it allll, but I must admit, there’s something extra magical about the holiday season in the Disney parks. Here’s what to expect this year.
Dining at Disney World can get complicated FAST. So where’s the best place to turn when you’re not looking to stay put for long? What if you’re looking for a walkable snack to take with you while you’re spending time in the ride lines? Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered!
Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks
We recently stopped by Thirsty River Bar & Trek Snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to find out if a few of our old favorites still reign supreme here, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is this little hole-in-the-wall snack and drink outpost worth a stop on your next visit? Find out here!
We may be a food blog, but that doesn’t mean we sit around eating lobster thermidor and scallops every day. We’re normal people — we like the simple stuff, too! Chicken tenders? Yeah, we still eat ’em. Mickey-shaped snacks? They still bring us joy. Corn dog nuggets? Who said they’re just for kids?! Speaking of snacks that make us happy, we need to talk about our meal at Mama’s Snack Stop at Disney’s Aulani Resort.
Let’s head to the Snack Stop!
It’s no secret that the DFB team LOVES Corn Dog Nuggets, formally known as Mini Corn Dogs or Corn Dog Bites. There’s something about those little bundles of beef (and whatever else is in a hot dog) that really hits the spot when you’re on vacation. Now, we’ve been longtime fans of the Mini Corn Dogs at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom, but what if we told you that there’s ANOTHER place to get corn dog nuggs…and they might be even better.🫣
