food IS a theme park
June has been WILD so far, y’all.
Buzz Lightyear Cone
We’ve even managed to check out a Lightyear-themed snack. We even ate Deviled Egg ice cream!!! But we’re just getting started — because here are ALL the Disney World restaurant menu updates for this past week!
October was QUITE the month at Disney World. So much happened!
Lemon mousse from Space 220
In the past month alone, THREE new restaurants opened (Steakhouse 71, Space 220, and La Crêperie de Paris), the 50th anniversary snacks arrived, AND we were still seeing some Halloween snacks getting introduced. So we’ve got quite a few menu updates to share with you from October.
Well, it’s been a busy week at Disney World, hasn’t it? The 50th Anniversary Celebration has officially kicked off!
Braised Beef Short Rib Wontons at California Grill
And we’ve been busy running around trying every new snack we can find, WHILE also checking out some new restaurants and dining experiences. But we’re still tracking every menu update we can find, so let’s get on with what’s been going on this week!
Drinking around the World is one of our favorite pastimes, whether the sips are spiked or non-alcoholic!
Drinks
We’ve tried pretty much ALL of the frozen drinks in the parks. Although we love grabbing new things (and sharing them with you guys ;-D), we’ve found a few frozen sips over the year that have secured a special place in our hearts.
We pride ourselves on knowing ALL of the spots where we can snag some of our favorite eats! That way when the craving strikes for a certain salty snack, or sweet frozen treat — we know right where the closest place to get it is!
Cream Cheese Pretzel
That’s why we had to share the info on where you can snag A BUNCH Disney World pretzels! Here’s a hint for ya — we weren’t at any of the Disney World parks!
Heyyyy from Port Orleans: French Quarter and Riverside! We stopped by recently to check out the menus, and have a few updates for you!
Let’s jump in, shall we?
Walt Disney World is home to several moderate category resorts, but their food is far from moderate! You’ll find a wide variety of eats at each moderate resort from grab and go and pool bars to quick service and table service restaurants.
We wanted to bring you up to date on what’s going on menu-wise — and what a few of our favorites are! — at Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside in case you’re traveling there soon!
Water Wheel Runs the Mill
The resort pays homage to all things New Orleans and Mardi Gras — which means beignets are plentiful here!
Today we’re bringing you a special Port Orleans Resort-themed What’s New! We always love an excuse to visit Port Orleans — French Quarter because of the beautiful landscaping, impeccably festive decor, and fun vibes.
Port Orleans — French Quarter
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re taking you to Disney World’s Port Orleans Resort (both Riverside and French Quarter) to let you know what you just have to eat during your visit!
Beignets at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter
A huge bonus for guests staying at Port Orleans Riverside or French Quarter is that they’ve got easy access to each location’s restaurants, lounges, and snacks. And since both spots have some terrific outside-the-norm options, this is great news indeed! From the Beignets at Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory to the noshes you can enjoy if you’re taking in a Yeeha Bob show at the River Roost lounge, there is a ton of great stuff to take in at Port Orleans. (And remember, Port Orleans is just a beautiful boat ride away from Disney Springs even if you aren’t staying at the Resort!) [Read more…]
Raise your hand if you love Port Orleans!!
Sure, people may look at you and wonder why your hand is in the air, but pay them no mind. It’s all for the love of the Port.
I’ll take any opportunity I can get to head over to the Port Orleans Resorts, be it Riverside or French Quarter (though I have a slight bias towards Riverside, what with the River Roost and all). So I was excited to finally have a chance to stop by recently to check out the specialty drinks that debuted earlier this summer. These sips are specific to the pool bars at Port Orleans — Muddy Rivers at Riverside, and Mardi Grogs at French Quarter.
I made the stroll to the Ol’ Man Island pool area and Muddy Rivers over at Riverside. Where Mardi Grogs celebrates the colorful Mardi Gras vibe of the French Quarter, Muddy Rivers offers the rustic Southern charm of Riverside. (You can’t go wrong either way.)

Before I even reached the bar, though, signs showing guests the Big Easy Splash — the food and beverage selections currently available poolside — led the way. [Read more…]
