food IS a theme park
When you think of Disney World food, you probably don’t think of croissants, but we can confidently say that Disney World has a croissant for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a croissant sandwich, a peanut butter and jelly croissant, or even a cookie dough croissant, Disney has one!
Cookie Butter Croissant
So when we saw that Disney released a new Cookie Butter Croissant, we had to try it! Because the only thing better than a croissant is a yummy Biscoff cookie.
For those unaware, the Walt Disney World Swan and Walt Disney World Dolphin are not Disney-owned hotels, despite being located on Walt Disney World property.

However, despite this, the hotels offer some major Disney-level perks, including serving two of the resort’s most iconic snacks. So, it’s safe to say they are seriously a great place to stay during a Disney World vacation!
They may not be flashy, but sometimes you just need to grab a classic snack and drink while you’re at Disney World!
Animal Kingdom
Here at the Disney Food Blog, we love to try tons of different snacks and drinks, and then give you our thoughts. We love going for the unique stuff, but other times we go with the simpler snacks. We recently went to Animal Kingdom and picked up a couple of classics, and we’re sharing our review with you!
DOLE Whip has been a staple in Disney Parks since 1986, a full decade after Dole Packaged Foods became the sponsor of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. The treat spread to Disney Parks all over the world, and well, as they say, the rest is history.
New DOLE Whip Flight!
Now, DOLE Whip has expanded well beyond the standard pineapple soft serve treat we all know and love. Now, you can get DOLE Whip sundaes and DOLE Whip floats, as well as a variety of DOLE Whip flavors that go WELL beyond pineapple. One of our fave spots to grab DOLE Whip in Disney World is Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs because every so often, they offer a brand new DOLE Whip Flight (aka a sampler) with some new flavors. Well, a new DOLE Whip Flight just dropped, and we’re trying it out!
We’re gearing up for something exciting coming to Animal Kingdom!
Fairy Bread Cake
Starting on May 26th, Bluey characters will appear in the park, getting a new experience at Conservation Station called Bluey’s Wild World. The experience will include meet-and-greets with Bluey and Bingo, dance parties, interactive play, Bluey-themed games, and even tie-ins with Australian animals. But when Bluey arrives, there are also going to be new TREATS!
Every once in a while, we notice a trend happening in food and drinks in Disney World because it seems like almost every other restaurant is offering something with a certain flavor or a certain kind of food. Remember the whole flavored croissant trend? Yep, we were there for that.
New cookie!
Well, right now, we’re seeing a NEW flavor trend, and we’ve seen it previously at The Cake Bake Shop. The trend is mixing blueberry and lemon flavors (which is honestly a very summery thing). Well, now, Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs has jumped on the trend with a brand new cookie.
Disneyland is the CAPITAL of tasty snacks, and even better, Disneyland adds new snacks ALL the time. Seriously, you could just skip all meals and snack your way around the parks and Downtown Disney and stay full (and, well, we’ve done it!).
New snacks alert!
We always get excited when new snacks drop, and now that eight NEW items are available on Disneyland menus, we raced to the parks to try them out. So let’s see what we thought!
Is April really the time to be talking about Halloween? Well, we’re the Disney Food Blog, so of course it is!

It’s been a big day for Halloween news for Disney! The dates got revealed for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney World, and Disney shared tons of spooky merch coming to both Disney Resorts. Now that the Disney Halloween news is pouring out, we should be seeing more about Halloween Time at Disneyland, starting with some eats and treats that are returning in 2026!
Are you ready to plan your fall trip to Disney World? I sure hope so, because Disney is ready for YOU.
Street Corn-style Dumplings
Dates were just revealed for the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival in 2026, which will run from August 27th-November 21st. But along with those dates, we got some updates about what will be returning to this year’s fest…namely, some specific menu items were mentioned!
In case you’re new here, you should know that we loooove a good Joffrey’s coffee. They offer so many fun flavors exclusive to the Disney World parks!
Frozen Lion’s Cappuccino
So when we realized we’ve never tried this Animal Kingdom-exclusive frozen cappuccino, we ran to Asia to grab it!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
