food IS a theme park
The lion may be the King of the Jungle, but the elephant is definitely the coolest!
The Elephant Cupcake at Creature Comforts
And HERE’s a blast from the past!! Who remembers our FIRST review of an elephant cupcake on Disney Food Blog? Way back in 2012 we reviewed this awesome german chocolate cake version of the elephant cupcake.
But times have changed, and now the SAME elephant is back…with a very sweet surprise!
HAKUNA MATATA, EVERYONE!! Ready to grab the latest grub with Timon and Pumbaa?
Amorette’s Patisserie Sign
Recently, it feels like everywhere you look, there’s new The Lion King merch with the upcoming premiere of the live-action film next week (omg we can’t wait!!!). We’ve spotted plush toys, popcorn buckets, and ice cream. Now, there’s even a colorful dessert in Disney Springs celebrating its release!
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
has expanded to the new 545-room Gran Destino Tower, and atop that tower is a new lounge that is not to be missed!
Dahlia Lounge
Dahlia Lounge is inspired by the Disney short film Destino which was, in part, storyboarded by artist Salvador Dali. It told a fascinating story about a mortal, Dahlia, who catches the eye of Chronos, the Greek figure who represents time.
Dali’s surrealist’s spirit infused the film, and it has infused Dahlia Lounge as well. Warmth, visual interest, and expert mixologists (artists in their own right!) are found here. [Read more…]
Three words, you guys: Bigger. Bubble. Waffles. If your stomach wasn’t growling, it is now with this updated ice cream treat in Disney Springs!
Bubble Waffles at AristoCrépes
The Wreck-It Ralph Sundae has made a big smash before on our blog. The Family Challenge Trophy is a HUGE reminder of the accomplishment your family or you (we could have one entirely to ourselves) made by finishing those last few bites of the sundae. And, we’ve also seen the Salted Caramel and Strawberry Bubble Waffles pop up with their sweet and crunchy goodness. But, we’ve never seen them combined TOGETHER like this before!!
We’re exploring Gran Destino Tower today
(check out our LIVE post here to see all of our coverage!) and of the many breathtaking spaces in the Tower, Barcelona Lounge makes a particularly powerful impression.
This stunning espresso bar/gin tonic lounge is open to the entry and lobby above and features towering views of Lago Dorado and Coronado Springs Resort beyond.
Barcelona Lounge
Barcelona Lounge is notable for its thoughtful and thought-provoking architecture and interior design. [Read more…]
There’s a NEW swirl in town! (Well, actually there are TWO!)
We loved finding the new lemon-lime Dole Whip swirl in Disney World recently, and now we’ve got two NEW swirls to tell you about!
I’m very partial to the smell of a crackling fire and roasted marshmallows on a summer night. With the Campfire dessert series Disney World has continued over the past few years, I’m transported back to my days as a Girl Scout. (Am I the only one who just gets the cookies now?)
Campfire Brownie at Wilderness Lodge’s Geyser Point
You can almost smell the smoke (um…I mean SUGAR!) with the latest Campfire treat sizzling at Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge!
Toledo — Tapas, Steak, and Seafood
is Gran Destino Tower’s rooftop table service restaurant, and when we say rooftop, know that it feels every bit of its 15-story height! But if you head up there to the top, you will be rewarded.
Toledo — Tapas, Steak, & Seafood
Because that altitude serves one spectacular purpose: to provide diners with one-of-a-kind views of Walt Disney World, including (when you time it just right!) glimpses of nighttime spectaculars at not one but TWO Parks! [Read more…]
I’m LIVING for all The Little Mermaid merch right now. While I already have 20+ thingamabobs, Disney just keeps tempting me with the release of amazing Ariel items.
Despite the new jewelry, Minnie Ears, and a hat, I can’t help but say: “no big deal, I want more!” And, Disney World is absolutely providing with the latest The Little Mermaid MagicBand.
“The salt on my skin and the wind in my hair” are both really giving me those beach hair vibes. I mean, who wouldn’t want to have gorgeous waves like Ariel’s? (The only hairstyle I want tbh)

And the Little Mermaid herself (and her HAIR!) is immortalized yet again in this crave-worthy charm that’s debuted in Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
