food IS a theme park
The holiday season brings all kinds of special treats to Disney World!
Trattoria al Forno
We’ve been indulging in a lot of holiday cupcakes, cookies, drinks, and more! But some Disney World restaurants are also offering some NEW holiday menus!
Although we spend a LOT of time eating tons of sweet snacks at Disney World, we still have some favorite savory treats, too!
Adventureland Spring Roll Cart
And one of our favorite savory treats comes from the Adventureland Spring Roll Wagon at Magic Kingdom! And yes, we were SO happy when the Spring Roll Wagon reopened in October!
Happy Holidays! We’ve been eating SO many holiday snacks at Disney World!
The Crystal Palace
But we’ve also been at every recent restaurant reopening and kept an eye on menu updates! So here’s what’s happened with Disney restaurants this past week!
Earlier this year, Cinderella’s Royal Table reopened, featuring a very quick appearance by Cinderella herself!
Cinderella’s Royal Table
And while we munched on some chicken and tenderloin of beef when we visited, a NEW entree will soon be joining the menu for all to enjoy!
We’ve eaten the cookies at their current East End Market location, we’ve tried their hot cookie hour, and we’ve waited and watched all of the construction going on at their Disney Springs location. You could say we’re just a little excited for Gideon’s Bakehouse to open in Disney Springs!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
And, while we’ve gotten some indications of special treats that will be available at this spot when they open later this year, now we’ve gotten a first look at the menu items that will be ready for all of us to munch on very soon!
It’s literally our job to keep an eye on all the food at Disney World, so we like to make sure we keep up with any restaurant menu changes or updates!
Vivoli il Gelato
And although we’ve been busy eating our way around EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays, trying out cookies, sipping on hot toddies, and nomming on charcuterie boards, we’ve noticed a few restaurant menu changes and updates this week!
We found out today that not one, not two, but THREE Disney World restaurants will be reopening in the next few weeks!
Tomorrowland Terrace New Chairs and Tables
We’ve already checked in on the just-released menu for a reopening Crystal Palace and now we get to take a look at the menu for Tomorrowland Terrace, opening December 17th. Here’s the thing: This menu definitely looks strangely familiar… .
Earlier today, Disney announced that 3 restaurants will soon be reopening in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
The Crystal Palace
One of the spots that will be welcoming guests again soon is The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom. Although the characters will be “taking a break” from greeting guests at this restaurant, it will still be open soon for guests to enjoy and will be serving meals family-style, a change from its previous buffet-style meal. But the REALLY exciting news is that we JUST got a look at the new family-style lunch & dinner menu and we’re excited to share it all with you!
Disney World restaurants often tweak their menus here and there, sometimes adding items and sometimes subtracting items.
Yak and Yeti Restaurant
And we’ve seen several changes at Animal Kingdom’s Yak & Yeti Restaurant since it reopened!
When Disney California Adventure partially reopens for select shopping and dining tomorrow, some things are going to be a LOT different.
Carthay Circle Marquee
For starters, guests can only visit Buena Vista Street for select shopping and dining experiences — no attractions will be open. And some of those stores and restaurants are going to look pretty different than before Disneyland Resort closed.
