food IS a theme park
We love to ask questions on our Disney Food Blog Facebook page so we can hear from the real stars of the show — you!

When Disney announces new projects and changes, it usually comes with a mix of opinions, no matter what the project is, and this is especially true when it comes to resort renovations and builds.
A new Disney World hotel is on the horizon and we’re breaking down everything we know so far!

Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is the newest hotel being built near Magic Kingdom, and it’s been a long time coming. Originally, Disney announced a hotel called Reflections: A Lakeside Lodge for this space and never discussed it again. But now, Disney has announced that it will be built and will be renamed to Lakeshore Lodge. So what do we know so far?
Disney World is home to plenty of different hotels for plenty of different tastes. You want to stay in a bungalow over the water? Check. Want to pretend you’re on an African safari? You can do that too. Heck, you can even go camping at Disney World.
Welcome to Fort Wilderness
Why not get in touch with Florida’s natural beauty while you’re on your Disney vacation at Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground? You can rent a cabin, bring an RV, and go tent camping — and there are a TON of recreational activities available here. But, one of those activities was suddenly closed when we stopped by recently — and you won’t believe why.
Can you believe another fun week in Disney World has passed? Well, it has!
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Lunch Box Tart
This week has been especially fun for us because we got to meet our Villaintines PLUS we got to see a baby tiger. Seriously, BEST WEEK EVER. We even found our new favorite Disney World popcorn bucket — and it’s GORGEOUS. However, Disney World was changing up restaurant menus while we were having all that fun, so let’s see what’s been updated this week.
Well, what a week, right?
Chicken & Donut
We’ve been busy trying some new snacks in Disney World, including an Up treat that sorta made us sad. But we were VERY happy with the Chicken and Donut combo we discovered in Disney Springs. We also had the opportunity to revisit one of our FAVORITE Disney World restaurants to try out some new menu items. While all that was going on, Disney World was busy changing up some restaurant menus, so let’s see what’s been updated.
Happy New Year! It’s 2025, and a LOT of exciting things are coming to Disney World this year.
Trader Sam’s Tahitian Torch
We’ve got new shows, a new nighttime parade, new lands beginning construction, and SO MUCH MORE to look forward to. We’ve even got a few new dining spots, including a Pirates of the Caribbean tavern and a Spaceship Earth lounge. However, now that the New Year has started, Disney World has been busy adjusting some of its existing restaurant menus, so let’s see what’s changed this week.
Santa is almost here!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
We have celebrated the holidays for over a month now, thanks to Disney World’s festivities like Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party. It’s our favorite time of the year and now even more spots in Disney World are getting in on the fun.
Disney World hotels are far more than what they seem — they’re not just a place to rest your head at the end of a long park day, but instead feature plenty of activities and experiences, not to mention some stellar dining.

One Disney World hotel is home to a pretty popular activity that has been unavailable recently due to construction at the resort. But, may have spotted a sign that this activity might be back sooner than we originally thought!
Disney World is being SNEAKY.

Reflections — A Disney Lakeside Lodge was first announced in 2018, and later that year Disney filed permits for a new mystery development labeled “Project 89” to be built in an area right near Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. But then, POOF! Work halted on Reflections and Disney has been quiet on the project ever since. Lately, though, we’ve been seeing signs that Reflections may not be over after all, and we just found two more.
It’s another spooky week in Disney World, celebrating all things Halloween, as well as all things EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
Tacos at La Hacienda de San Angel
We were recently reunited with one of our favorite Halloween treats, We also got a chance to try out the Pumpkin Butter Cocktail at Narcoossee’s (y’all, we’ve been talking about that one for DAYS). Disney also released a massive list of new foods coming to Disney World for Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month — and our tummies are READY! In the meantime, we’ve been keeping an eye on those Disney World restaurant menus, as we do, and we’ve noticed a few changes.
