food IS a theme park
Disney World’s 50th anniversary has come with a lot of new merchandise!
Happy Birthday, Disney World!
We’ve seen a bunch of Minnie Ears, several different collections, and special things like popcorn buckets and balloons. One of those items was the 50th Anniversary Celebration Minnie Mouse Sipper. It was in Magic Kingdom on October 1st, but quickly sold out. Now, it’s coming back to the park, but in an unusual way.
We’re entering the playoffs of the Best Snacks of 2021 Bracket, and decisions have never been TOUGHER!
Cheshire Cat Tail
Since Disney World is renowned for its EPIC snacks, it’s practically impossible to single out a favorite, which is why we need YOUR help! These past few days, we’ve been asking our readers on Instagram to vote for their picks!
There’s no question that there are LOTS of dining options throughout Disney Word, with menus for every palate and preference, and food selections for everyone.
Loaded French Fries
But what if we were to tell you that when you’re looking at the menu deciding what to eat, that there was MORE than meets the eye? What if we told you that there are also SECRET menus at many of these locations?
UPDATE: On Friday morning, the Cheshire Cat Tail was NOT available at The Lunching Pad. We were directed to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe to pick up our pastry. We were told it may only be available at one location or another at a time.
It’s no secret that the Cheshire Cat Tail is one of our favorite Magic Kingdom snacks!
Cheshire Cat Tail
When the parks first reopened, we went on quite the quest to find our beloved pastry snack! Cheshire Cafe, the snack stand where you can usually order this beauty, still hasn’t reopened — so the pastry made its way over to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. For a while, Cosmic Ray’s was the only place you could order the cat tail…until now!
When the weather allows for it, it can be pretty nice to have a meal in the great outdoors — especially right now while we’re in the midst of a global pandemic.
Outside Dining Area
Health officials, including the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, consider dining outdoors to be a lower risk activity than dining indoors. Lucky for us, Disney has a lot of GREAT outdoor dining options, so you don’t have to feel limited. Let’s take a look at all the best places for that sunshine-y meal!
We’ve tried soooo many holiday snacks around Disney World today!
Mickey’s Holiday Cookie
We’ve found a ton of sweet treats and desserts to make our holidays merry and bright. But now, we’re ready to SPICE THINGS UP!
It’s Halloweentime at Disney World, and you know what that means: spooky snacks are starting to show up all over the parks! We were really excited to try out one of these snacks today at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Magic Kingdom!

Okay, so this item isn’t so much a snack as a whole meal.
If there’s 0ne bit of important advice we can pass on to you it’s that hydration is KEY when you’re visiting Disney World. Getting your daily dose of H2O is important no matter where you are, but when you are getting tens of thousands of steps in each day, often in sweltering heat, drinking enough water is crucial.
Cups of Water Ready to Take
There are multiple ways to acquire water in the Disney theme parks, and the water bottle refill stations are an eco-friendly and less expensive way of doing so. But with the current sanitation practices, many guests are wondering if they’re still available and operational. And the answer is…sometimes.
Walt Disney World is reopening this week and we’ve been scoping out all the new health and safety procedures during a few park previews.
Mobile Order Pick Up Area
Disney has increased sanitation frequency to all high-touch areas like handrails and attraction vehicles. These changes beg the question: “Are topping bars still available for guests?” We stopped by Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe and Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe in Magic Kingdom to find out! [Read more…]
If you were hoping to hear a rendition of “Gravity Blues” at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Disney World, it looks like you might have to wait a bit.
