food IS a theme park
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has some awesome restaurants and snacks.
Entrance to Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We asked our readers to help us rank Hollywood Studios quick service (fast food) restaurants and this is what you voted for! Can you guess which restaurant was ranked highest?
We have been VERY busy with all the restaurant reopenings at Disney World — and we have no complaints.
Columbia Harbour House has reopened!
Like we even need an excuse to be reunited with some of our favorite food and drinks! And that’s just what we have been at spots like ‘Ohana, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, Pizzafari, Eight Spoon Cafe, and more! Columbia Harbour House has been closed since the park closure last year. However, some of its menu ended up at the usually seasonal Tomorrowland Terrace. But Columbia Harbour House is now back, with much of its menu intact, so we decided to see how it compared to the last time we ate there.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some of the most unique dining options in all of Disney World.
Pizzafari is back!
Not only can guests snack on otherworldly food inspired by the movie Pandora at Satu’li Canteen, but they can also eat some delicious BBQ treats at Flame Tree Barbecue, nom on some African, Asian, and Latin-inspired food at Tiffins, and grab some delicious baked macaroni and cheese from Eight Spoon Cafe. But if it’s a simpler meal you’re after, we’re happy to report that Pizzafari has officially reopened at the park! And we were there to check it all out.
One of the locations that has remained closed since the reopening of Disney World in July 2020 is Columbia Harbour House.
Still waiting on this one to reopen!
It was actually being used to house part of the line for Peter Pan’s Flight! Some of the restaurant’s menu items have been available over at Tomorrowland Terrace, so we haven’t gone completely without a taste of Columbia Harbour House, but it still wasn’t the full experience! We found out recently that Columbia Harbour House would be back in action, and today we got to try it for the first time in over a year! [Read more…]
Disney World has been reopening quite a few restaurants lately.
Catalina Eddie’s
Counter service restaurants like Pizzafari and Columbia Harbour House are reopening soon, and today another Disney World quick-service restaurant opened!
Disney World’s phased reopening is still going strong, as restaurants and hotels around the parks are getting reopening dates!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Today, we saw that a restaurant that’s been closed for a long time in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is showing times to be open soon!
Ever since Disney World reopened, we’ve had a bit of a problem with food in Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
At first, not very many restaurants were open, causing Mobile Order wait times to rise and windows to get backed up. Then, we had issues finding places to eat later in the evening, because several spots closed before the park did. But as more restaurants reopen, it helps to alleviate those problems, and now it looks like one of our favorites could come back soon!
Let’s be real here…one of the best parts of Disney World is the FOOD.
Time to Eat!
But, with so many restaurants to choose from, it can be hard to know whether you’re going to a spot that’s full of tasty treats or a restaurant that you should have totally skipped. For Magic Kingdom specifically, we’ve taken a look at some secret eats, and ranked every restaurant in the park by dessert. But recently we turned to you, our fantastic readers, to get your thoughts on how every quick-service restaurant in Magic Kingdom should be ranked. What spot came out on top and what’s one place you might want to skip? We’re breaking down the results right now!
While many Disney World staples are reopening and returning around the parks, there are still a few things that remain a mystery!
Cinderella Castle
We know that Trail’s End Restaurant at The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness is reopening, but we still haven’t heard anything about the beloved Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. There’s no word on if or when FastPass+ is coming back, and we’re still unsure if parades are returning, as it’s looking like cavalcades are here to stay for a while. One of the big things Disney hasn’t brought back yet is the Disney Dining Plan, but recently they announced that it WILL be returning! So, we wanted to remind you of a change to the plan that happened RIGHT before the closures that you may have forgotten about!
Wow, what a weekend! And we’re not just saying that because it’s 4th of July weekend!
Golden Oak Outpost is open!
Although that’s why it’s been a busy weekend at Disney World — we’ve been tracking down all the special 4th of July treats, including a frosting-heavy cupcake, a Sunshine Mimosa, and a Patriotic Colava. But we’ve also been checking out a few snack spot reopenings, including Dino Diner.
