food IS a theme park
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.
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.
It’s been…a week in Disney World. We’ve spent a lot of it tracking Hurricane Helene and staying updated on closures and cancellations at the resort.
Pumpkin ice cream is back.
We did, however, celebrate the reopening of a Starbucks and the return of pumpkin ice cream (even if it left us a little disappointed). We also got the full list of snacks and drinks coming to this year’s Jollywood Nights (and it is a LOT). As always, we also kept a close eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and we’ve got some menu updates to share with you this week.
Here at Disney Food Blog, it’s more than just our job to bring you the latest food news from Disney World. We consider it our duty.
Port Orleans — French Quarter
And, we wouldn’t be doing our duty if we didn’t remind you about this important dining change! Whether you’ve got an upcoming stay at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort or just have a hankerin’ for those soft, warm, pillowy beignets — don’t forget about this important warning.
You know what gets a BAD rap in Disney World? The cafeteria-style quick service restaurants at the hotels!
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
And honestly, we can’t say we blame people for hating on them. We’ve definitely had our share of mediocre meals at the value resorts! But what about the cafeteria quick service spots at the moderate resorts? They’ve got to be at least MODERATEly better, right?! (Pun totally intended.) Well, recently I stopped by one of them to find out.
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.
Welcome to August. Before too long, Disney World is about to go SPOOKY — the Halloween decorations will be going up in Magic Kingdom ANY DAY NOW.
Loaded Burnt End Fries are BACK in EPCOT
Disney recently revealed some of the Halloween snacks we’ll be seeing in the parks throughout the season. We also recently celebrated the return of one of our favorite snacks in EPCOT. While we’re waiting for more details about the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival (you can release those food booth menus any day now, Disney), we’ve been checking menus at Disney World restaurants, and yep, we’ve got some changes to tell you about.
Okay, we tried LOTS of new food this week in Disney World — and we’re not mad about it.
Loaded Totcho Bowl
First, we found a Loaded Totcho Bowl at Wilderness Lodge, and it is officially one of our favorite Disney World breakfasts. We also had a chance to dive into a DELICIOUS new boozy snack at the Contemporary Resort. We also dove into the new exclusive Annual Passholder treat now available at Hollywood Studios. All we can say is YUM. Now, we’re taking a look at Disney World restaurant menus to see what else has changed.
The Disney World parks have some phenomenal food, there’s no denying it, but you can never discredit what you might find at the hotels around the resort!
Pop Century Resort
Each Disney World hotel offers a variety of food items. Some are great and some you might want to avoid. But when it comes to breakfast foods, snacks, and desserts, each hotel has something worth trying. We noticed that two Disney World hotels have started offering new filled croissants, so of course, we HAD to go give them a try!
