food IS a theme park
Disneyland surprised everyone by opening a restaurant EARLY!

Despite having an official opening date of October 25th, 2024, the Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree soft-opened a day early in Bayou Country and we stopped by to check it out!
There are SO many quick service spots in EPCOT, how do you choose where to go for a cheap meal?
Spaceship Earth
With restaurants in all the World Showcase pavilions, plus a few options near the front of the park, you can get a wide variety of cuisine options around this park. But have you ever been to the food court? I took a trip there for lunch recently, and my experience was not what I expected!
We’ve made quite a few mistakes in Disney World.
Main Street during Halloween
Even though we visit Disney World every day, it doesn’t stop us from learning new things or messing up our own vacations from time to time. And recently, one member of our team had a bizarre breakfast experience that we wanted to share with you — that way you know how to proceed!
We love to talk about freebies you can get in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
WHAT? You can actually get things for FREE in Disney World?! Yes you can, if you know where to look! From celebration buttons to complimentary activities at the resorts, there’s a lot of free fun to be had when you take your Disney World vacation. But perhaps the most popular free “perk” is the cups of ice water!
If you’re a seasonal beverage person, then it is your time to SHINE!
Starbucks
This season of the year is filled with all things pumpkin spice and apple, especially at Starbucks. In a few weeks, we’ll be enjoying the sweet taste of peppermint and gingerbread. But in the middle of Halloween and Christmas, there’s something else to celebrate at Starbucks!
Here at DFB, we’ve got some strong opinions about Disney food.
Magic Kingdom
We visit Disney World every single day, and even those on our team who live out of town have tried a wide variety of snacks and restaurants in the parks. But recently, we discovered that one of our team members has a very controversial breakfast opinion…and I’m here to defend her!
There are SO many places to eat in EPCOT, and it can be super overwhelming deciding where to dine.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Every World Showcase pavilion has a quick service restaurant, but I’m here to tell you that they are NOT all created equal. Some spots are a bit underwhelming, while others seem to hit every time. And recently, I visited one of those quick service spots that we really love here at DFB. Is it still a winner? Let’s dive in.
As a reporter here at DFB, I’ve spent a LOT of time in Disney World restaurants.
EPCOT
Not only do I grab lunch at quick service restaurants frequently when I’m in the parks, but I’ve also done full reviews of dozens of quick service restaurants, snack stands, and table service restaurants for my job. In fact, by my tally, I’ve eaten at over 150 Disney World restaurants to date. And with all those meals in Disney World, I’ve developed some pretty strong opinions!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to some pretty fantastic snacks and meals, and you don’t have to look very far to find them.
Animal Kingdom
A lot of our favorite restaurants and snacks are located in Animal Kingdom, which means that sometimes it’s hard for us to decide where we want to eat! However, a new sandwich dropped at Restaurantosaurus recently so we knew we had to try it out, and we were NOT disappointed!
We’re looking forward to the coming week in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
One of Magic Kingdom’s most popular and iconic rides will FINALLY be reopening. Get ready for tons of puns, the back side of water, and loads of jungle animals on a cruise down the Nile and other famous rivers of the world. Other than this reopening, though, Disney World still has several closures. Take a peek at what will be closed during your vacation on the week of October 12th through October 19th.
