food IS a theme park
Disney World parades aren’t necessarily hard to come by, but every once in a while an ultra-rare parade happens that we can’t wait to see.
Port Orleans French Quarter
And, the best part is that you don’t even need a park ticket for this parade! That’s right — the Port Orleans Mardi Gras Parade is BACK and it’s better than ever this year. Check out all the incredible floats right here!
One month ends and another month begins, and we are READY for March in Disney World.
Coupe du Dimanche
March means the start of the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, and you know what that means — a LOT more food for us to enjoy and review. But we’ll also still be visiting Disney World restaurants when we get the chance (we just ate our way around THREE Disney Springs restaurants this week). We’ll also be checking those restaurant menus for changes, so let’s talk about what menu changes we uncovered this week.
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.
Greetings from Louisiana!
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
And by Louisiana, we mean Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter and Riverside Resorts! These two resorts are part of Disney’s Moderate tier resorts, which land right in the middle between Value and Deluxe. Both resorts offer great perks to guests, including free transportation, a complimentary water park visit on the day of check-in, Early Theme Park Entry, and advance Lightning Lane booking!
While we love both of these resorts, they are not perfect, as these six unfortunate things happen every time we stay there.
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.
This could be a big damper on your Disney vacation!
Spaceship Earth
Disney is constantly changing with major updates like the Test Track Refurbishment, the impending end of DinoLand, U.S.A. and the upcoming Monsters, Inc. Land! While these are all major changes to expect soon on your Disney vacation, there’s one refurbishment that might impact you right now.
With less than two months in 2024, you can basically count down the days until your 2025 Disney World trip!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
With such little time left for all the preparations, we wanted to offer a helping hand! If you’re still trying to figure out which Disney World you want to book a stay at in 2025, you’ll want to know about the ones that you’ll want to stay clear of. Let’s dive right in!
You do know that Disney World isn’t just a theme park experience, right? It’s also a food lover’s paradise.
Grand Floridian Resort
Now, I know you already know about the classic park snacks (I see you Dole Whip), but did you know that some of the most unforgettable bites are hiding at Disney World’s hotels? They’ve got everything you could ever want — from mouthwatering sweets to savory bites. So let’s talk about a couple of iconic Disney World hotel snacks that we always go for. Ready to dive in?
Well, it has been A WEEK in Disney World.
What’s better than a Mickey pretzel and beer?
Most of this week we’ve been worried about Hurricane Milton, and Disney World even closed briefly as a result. Needless to say, not a lot has happened with Disney World restaurants this week, but we did notice a few minor menu changes. We’re still waiting for that big round of food price increases we usually get this time of year, but for now, let’s just focus on the few updates we have.
After a long day in the parks, you may be starving.
Magic Kingdom
Quick-service food courts at some resorts used to be open super late, some even 24 hours a day, but now, for the most part, the latest these restaurants stay open is 11 PM. Still, 11 PM is late and gives you enough time to make it back to your resort for a late-night dinner. We recently stayed at Port Orleans, and we still think they have one of the best late-night dinners at Disney World.
