food IS a theme park
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to some great food spots! Today we are checking out one that doesn’t always reach the top of our “must-eat” spots!
Pandora
This restaurant is known for its classic theme park fare including lots of hamburgers and hot dogs. But we are on a quest to find out if it is more than JUST that typical fare?
While sometimes it may feel hidden, there really is some great food at Disney World.
Disney Springs
Especially over in Disney Springs! One of our favorite restaurants is Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, but if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the menu, we’ve got two iconic choices you’ve GOT to order!
A popular Disney World restaurant recently reopened with some big changes!
Trail’s End
Trail’s End Restaurant was closed at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for a little while to get a big refurbishment. When it reopened at the end of July, it was remade into a quick service spot with market-style service. I stopped by during the soft opening to check it out, and now I’m sharing my FULL review with you. Is Trail’s End worth your time? Let’s find out!
We’ve eaten everywhere in Disney World. Yes, EVERYWHERE.
Cinderella Castle
Nope, we’re not exaggerating. We’ve been in the business of reviewing Disney World restaurants for 15 years and we’ve been Disney fans even longer than that, so we have DECADES of experience dining “around the World.” For that reason, we’ve tried hundreds (maybe thousands) of items on the menus at Disney World’s table service restaurants, and we have strong opinions about what you should eat…opinions that we’re about to share with you!
Jambalaya? Check. Po’ Boys? Check. Beignets? Check, check, check!
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter
When guests visit Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter Resort they know they’ll find an array of Creole and Cajun dishes, snacks, and drinks. Apart from these staples, sometimes the resort has specialty dishes depending on the time of year. With February being Black History Month, Celebrate Soulfully is coming back to Disney World as the parks and resorts share special offerings as part of the celebration.
It’s honestly REALLY hard to go wrong with a Disney World trip. Whether it’s your first trip or your 50th, this IS the Most Magical Place on Earth, after all!
Main Street, U.S.A.
That being said, there really are certain iconic, bucket list-worthy attractions and restaurants and snacks that FULLY exemplify that CLASSIC Disney experience, and you’d be missing out if you skipped ‘em!
Listen, there are a LOT of delicious places to get some homestyle cuisine in Disney World.
The Polite Pig
You could fill yourself up on biscuits and fried chicken at Homecomin’ in Disney Springs or order your meal with a side of embarrassment (as the wait staff picks on you) at 50s Prime Time Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But if you’re looking for something a little bit faster and a little more casual, The Polite Pig in Disney Springs may be the way to go. And they just added a new item to the menu!
We’ve got to admit that Disney’s Hollywood Studios is not typically our #1 choice for the best theme park food.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios Entrance
EPCOT is famous for delicious food from around the world, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some sleeper hits that you really shouldn’t miss. But one thing Hollywood Studios does REALLY well is the shows! So it makes sense that even the restaurants have a show-y aspect to them. We’re heading into one of the best-themed restaurants in Disney World today to check out the fun atmosphere, sassy servers, and delicious comfort food! [Read more…]
Today is the day, folks! It’s Disney World’s 50th anniversary!!
Happy 50th, Disney World!
The celebrations have officially begun! The anticipation has been building ever since we heard the announcements for festivities like new fireworks, merchandise, and food. And now, we finally get to take part in all of the fun, including trying allll the new food items for the anniversary. And, with the large amount of sweet treats that have been added, we’re ready for something savory — come along with us to try out a new sandwich in Magic Kingdom!
P&J’s Takeout at Fort Wilderness Cabins & Campgrounds is a convenient spot to grab a quick bite! Known for delicious cupcakes and American classics, P&J’s is a popular spot for people staying at the resort (and TBH, since this resort is kind of a world of its own, there’s a chance you’ve never heard of it if you haven’t stayed here!).
P & J’s Southern Takeout
We usually check this spot out for a new snack, cupcake, or fancy specialty coffee, but we realized it had been a while since we’ve had a full meal here! So, we stopped by to check it out and see if it’s as delicious as we remember!
