Now, you know what that means. It means we get to celebrate Disney Princesses in Disney World. And how do we celebrate? By eating Disney Princess-themed snacks!

Yes, we’ve been thinking a LOT about the holiday season in Disney World, but the reality is that it’s still summer and we’re still several months away before the big Christmas tree goes up in Magic Kingdom.

That means we’re still enjoying summer food and drinks in Disney World, including the infamous Campfire Cupcake at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

Of course, now that the holiday has passed, we’re looking forward to Halloween season in Disney World because the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is only a little over a month away. Yep, time flies! In the meantime, we’ve been checking out some new foods and drinks in the parks, and keeping an eye on restaurant menus.

By 16 Comments

We love Disney, but some of our hotel experiences have made us question our sanity.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

You can plan the perfect trip, score the dining reservations, and even time your park days like a pro — but none of it matters if your hotel stay turns into a full-on disaster. Over the years, we’ve had a few downright awful experiences at Disney World resorts, and today we’re sharing five that we still haven’t recovered from. These are the stories that live rent-free in our heads anytime someone says “it’s worth the splurge” or “you should try it one more time.

By 2 Comments

Disney World has leaned into the chaos a little this week.

Cinnamon Apple Pie Funnel Cake from Epic Eats

For example, we found a non-caramel snack at Karamell-Küche in EPCOT. We went through a flurry of emotions when Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom brought back the OLD waffles. One of our favorite foods at a Disney World hotel was a…hotdog (okay, so maybe we leaned into the chaos a bit, too). And like always, Disney World restaurant menus got updates.

Pinocchio Cookie Tart

We finally got LOADS of new details about the Cars expansion coming to Frontierland, including that it will be called Piston Peak, and that it will introduce some new characters into the Cars universe (now if only Disney would drop some hints about what kind of FOOD this expansion will have — we have questions!).

By 2 Comments

So it’s no secret that some of our favorite dining in Disney World is actually not in the parks and is, in fact, at Disney World hotels.

Grand Floridian Resort

Okay, that shouldn’t come as a big surprise because people have been going on about restaurants like Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for years. One Disney World hotel restaurant even has a Michelin Star (yep, that would be Victoria & Albert’s). Well, we’re headed to that very same hotel, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, to try out its quick service location, Gasparilla Island Grill.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

The snack in question is available at the resort’s Gasparilla Island Grill. While the restaurant offers a variety of entrees for lunch and dinner, including artisan burgers, flatbreads and sandwiches, our focus today is on something of a much sweeter variety.
