food IS a theme park
Disney Springs has some pretty amazing restaurants, and yes, we’ll happily tell you about our favorites — will you ever get tired of us talking about Wine Bar George and Homecomin’? We hope not!
Disney Springs
So when we were invited to attend a special event to taste and tour our way around Disney Springs, we couldn’t refuse. Literally, that sounds like the BEST day ever, right? So, let’s get to it!
If you’re looking for the best eats at Disney World, you’ve come to the right place!
Magic Kingdom
We visit Disney World every day, which means we’re constantly trying food — both familiar and brand-new! With 2025 in full swing, we specifically want to take a close look at the BEST counter-service options in Disney World, so let’s jump in a look at the must-visits this year at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Chicken Guy! by Guy Fieri is getting a new location in Dallas, Texas!
Chicken Guy!
On February 6th, you can stop by the brand-new location of the chicken fast-food restaurant which will be the chain’s first Texas location. The restaurant is a fan-favorite in Disney Springs in Orlando so we are super excited to have even more places to stop in!
When you visit the most popular theme park destination in the world, it’s not totally unfeasible that you might run into a celebrity.
Disney Springs
Celebrity sightings are nothing new at Disney World. However, celebrity chef sightings can be a bit more hit or miss. With that said, your odds are still decent at Disney World, considering the resort is home to TONS of celebrity chef restaurants and other fine-dining experiences. If your goal is to see a celebrity chef, we recommend checking out some Disney World spots during future visits!
One of the biggest problems that Disney World quick-service restaurants face has nothing to do with the food.
Chicken Guy!
No, one of the biggest issues that we hear about from our readers (and that we also often complain about) is the lack of seating. Why is it so hard to find seating at some Disney World quick-service locations? That’s the case in the parks, but it’s also the case for some restaurants in Disney Springs. Well, one Disney Springs restaurant has recently solved that problem for its visitors.
December is already flying by and we’re so not ready for the holidays yet (although we’ve been celebrating the holiday season in Disney World for over a month now!).
Toy Soldier Mickey Dome Cake at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs
We’re looking forward to the opening of a brand-new restaurant coming up soon (and we now have a menu to look at while we wait for its doors to open). We’re also still eating our way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays (and here are the things we’re ordering over and over). Meanwhile, Disney World restaurant menus keep changing, and we’re keeping up with them all!
We are a little obsessed with Disney Food…like, well, that shouldn’t come as a HUGE surprise because we are the Disney FOOD Blog.
Disney Springs
Sure, we cover other big Disney news, but we always come back around to the food we love, including Mickey waffles, Corn Dog Nuggets (or Mini Corn Dogs, as they’re now called), Cheeseburger Pods, Dole Whip, and more. We also get EXCITED when new snacks drop in Disney World. So you can imagine how fast we ran to Disney Springs to try two new menu items at Chicken Guy! (which is one of our fave quick service locations in Disney Springs!).

We’ve got great news for our frequent Disney Springs goers!
Disney Springs
A ton of the restaurants in Disney Springs land on our favorites list, but we’re big fans of Chicken Guy, the restaurant by Guy Fieri. Yes, we’re bummed that they have fewer sauces than before, but we still love the restaurant as a whole! And now, things are about to get even BETTER.
The Disney Dining Plan just made its return in 2024!
Magic Kingdom
While the Disney Dining Plan can be a super helpful service that can make your dining plans less stressful, there are certain rules at certain restaurants. We just ran into this weird Disney Dining Plan rule at a popular Disney Springs quick-service spot, and we’re here to tell you about it so you won’t be surprised.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
