food IS a theme park
Disney has just announced that a fan favorite restaurant will be closing soon. So, if you’re planning a Disney trip this summer, you’ll want to hear this!
Yacht and Beach Club
Especially if you’re planning on grabbing dinner around the EPCOT resort area, which is one of our favorite ways to escape the chaos of EPCOT without fully leaving the parks. We’ll walk out by the International Gateway, grab a quick meal, and then slide back in for an evening of fireworks.
Can you believe February will be long gone soon, and it will be March? Spring is headed to Disney World, and it will officially kick off on March 4th when the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival starts.

Now, spring is one of those times when we start seeing Disney World restaurant menus changing. Not only do we start seeing St. Patrick’s Day and Easter treats pop up, but restaurants that source seasonal ingredients will also do a menu refresh, too. We’ve gone through every Disney World restaurant menu that had a change this week, and we’re sharing those updates with you.
While Disney World is currently defined by major construction projects like Piston Peak, Villains Land, Monsters, Inc. land, and Tropical Americas, there is also a litany of smaller projects going on across the resort.

Disney World has no shortage of iconic restaurants, but some seriously solid steaks keep flying under the radar.
Have a bite!
Between chasing reservations, planning park days, and trying to remember where you ate on your last trip, it’s easy to forget about some truly great meals. Disney World actually has several steak options that don’t get nearly enough love, and a few aren’t even traditional steakhouses. Let’s talk about nine spots you should absolutely consider adding back onto your list.
Happy New Year, DFB friends! We have officially kicked off 2026 in Disney World and said goodbye to the holiday season.
Countdown to Midnight Cake Bar
But there’s SO much to look forward to in the coming weeks, including the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, where we’ll be eating our way through every food booth (and we are SO ready). However, before that happens, we’ve got some changes to tell you about that are happening at Disney World restaurants. Yes, it’s that time again…let’s look at the Disney World restaurant menu changes from this week. Here’s a word of warning: some of your favorite holiday snacks and drinks are officially gone for the season!
We are KNEE DEEP in holiday season in Disney World, and you know what that means. We’re eating ALL the holiday snacks in the parks and hotels, including all the food at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights.
There’s a HOUSE on our brownie!
Now, there’s a lot of new seasonal food getting added to Disney World menus right now. But other menu updates are happening, too. So let’s take a look at all the menu updates we noticed this week. First, the good news: new foods have arrived in Disney World, including new holiday snacks. The bad news: more price increases have hit restaurants this week.
Well, it’s happened. We’ve said goodbye to spooky season in Disney World, and hello to the holiday season (the first decorations have started popping up!).
Stuffed pretzel!
We’ll soon be eating ALL the festive holiday food and drinking all the fun holiday drinks. We’re counting down the days to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights, too. In the meantime, though, Disney World restaurants are changing their menus, including Homecomin’ and Yak & Yeti, so let’s see what’s been updated.
Well, it’s been quite a week, hasn’t it? Disney World just threw a ton of announcements at us, including details about price increases for tickets, Annual Passes, and more.

That’s because the Disney Adults Crawl is officially ON (you can learn more about that here) AND Disney has already dropped MORE snacks for World Princess Week, including snacks themed around Moana, Tiana, Pocahontas, and more. Disney World restaurants have also been busying changing up their menus, so let’s see what changed this week.
When you’re choosing a Walt Disney World resort, dining options are a major part of the vibe—especially if you love escaping the parks for a chill meal. There are dozens of restaurants scattered across the resorts, and some real culinary gems fly under the radar. Even if your whole trip revolves around park days, a late lunch or dinner at your hotel can be a game‑changer.
