food IS a theme park
Is this real life or just a glitch in the Matrix? Nope, it’s real — and it’s actually a huge Disney deal.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
One of Disney World’s most iconic and expensive resorts — Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — is suddenly way more affordable than usual. We’re talking prices so low, they made us double-check the math. And yes, it involves those Savanna View rooms. Let’s talk about what’s going on, who qualifies, and why this deal is blowing up right now.
Disney World can be an overwhelming place for introverts, with the resort’s theme parks and water parks often teeming with people in all corners. Which can make it even more important to have a peaceful hotel to return to after an overwhelming day.
Crowds
However, there are some Walt Disney World hotels that – – whether due to layout, popularity, or geographic location – – are better suited for introverted guests than others.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is such an underrated park. Although part of it is under construction right now as DinoLand, U.S.A. becomes a new land called Pueblo Esperanza, a visit to Animal Kingdom is worth the time during your next Disney trip.

The beauty of Animal Kingdom is that it’s WAY more than just rides. It’s a chance to get up close and personal with the animals that call the park home. And the thing is…new animals join the ranks of Animal Kingdom all the time. Well, we now have to tell you about some newcomers to the park — and trust us, you’re going to love this news because these latest additions are newborns.
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? They’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, they’ve got that, too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that, as well.
Welcome to Disney World
We recently stopped by Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? We’re about to bring you the FULL scoop to help you decide!
Happy April, DFB Readers! It’s hard to believe that March went by so quickly, but here we are.
Garden Grill Harvest Feast Platter
This week was a BIG one in Disney World, at least for food. Not only did Gideon’s Bakehouse announce a new menu, BUT we got eight new food and drinks at Disney’s Pop Century Resort (and yes, be looking for those reviews coming soon). However, those aren’t the only restaurant changes we spotted in Disney World this week. We’ve also got some other restaurant menu updates to tell you about.
We adore Animal Kingdom Lodge for many reasons.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
For one, you’ve got gorgeous views of the savanna and the animals that graze around the entire resort, and there’s very little that beats that in our eyes, but you’ve also got some fantastic restaurants to explore here. This hotel alone is home to Sanaa, Boma, and Victoria Falls, but on the quick service side, you’ve also got The Mara. We’re gonna be honest. Even after all this time (and countless reviews praising this resort), The Mara is still an underrated gem. It’s got great options even though it is essentially just a small quick-service location, and their new snack reminded us just how great this restaurant can be!
Well, it’s been another week in Disney World, just basically eating our way around, well, EVERYTHING.
Grand Marnier Orange Slush
This week saw more Easter snacks popping up (so of course, we’re trying them) PLUS the Easter Egg displays are now up at the hotels (and you should TOTALLY check them out if you’re around). Disney World restaurant menus have changed this week, too, so let’s check out those updates.
This week marked the start of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, so we’ve been a little obsessed with checking out everything you can see and do at the festival, as well as EVERYTHING you can eat.
Blackcurrant Gin Cocktail
We’ve even told you about the BEST food and drinks at the festival so you can try them out for yourself. However, we’ve also been keeping an eye on those pesky Disney World restaurant menus that are always changing, and yes, we’ve got some changes to share with you this week. So on with it!
Disney World is home to several different hotels — each with its own set of pros and cons. Ask us to choose our favorite, and our answer will probably be different every time.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
But, there’s one hotel that tends to stand out among the rest — Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. On most days, we’d probably say that Animal Kingdom Lodge is our favorite because of the impeccable dining, incredible theming, and oh yeah — the actual, real-life safari animals on the savanna. But, this hotel has two BIG issues.
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.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
