food IS a theme park
If you missed out on the one-day-only 626 treats back on June 26, life’s about to become a Hawaiian roller coaster for you because Stitch is BACK!

Looks like the loveable alien didn’t make a great escape after all! [Read more…]
is the Polynesian Village Resort’s sushi bar — but colorful preparations of fish aren’t the only thing this spot purveys. Indeed, the Kona Island Sushi Bar is a coffee bar for most of the day, and what’s coffee without some sweet treats to go with?

We just shared Walt Disney World’s latest treatment of bacon with not one, not two, but three chocolate-covered bacon varieties. [Read more…]
Joffrey’s
is a good bet for coffee in the Disney Parks, but more often than not, we’re stopping by these coffee stands to see what they’ve got for snacks. And the Joffrey’s stand near Pin Traders in Epcot’s World Showcase is bringing it today!
Peanut Butter Brownie
Yes, by it we mean an ooey-gooey Peanut Butter Brownie. [Read more…]
If you thought the release of Toy Story 4 meant the movie-ties at the Disney Parks and Resorts were on their way out, boy, you were not correct. Everything Pop at Disney’s Pop Century Resort has a new Bo Peep character cupcake that’s shepherding in the sweetness!
Bo Peep Cupcake
The Bo Peep Cupcake hits all the right visual notes: blue frosting with white candy pearls, a big pink white chocolate bow, and a swirl of golden yellow buttercream. [Read more…]
It’s time to mix things that shouldn’t be mixed: electricity and umbrellas. We’re back at Epcot’s Electric Umbrella to share the new Brisket Sandwich, a kids’ flatbread option, and a cup of beer cheese. (J/K, we don’t share beer cheese.)
Electric Umbrella
Electric Umbrella is a classic Disney Parks quick service restaurant in Epcot’s Future World. It gets a bad rap, but I honestly am usually pretty happy with my meals there. [Read more…]
Boozy popsicles seem to be a new Disney World trend, with refreshment Cocktail Pops in Italy in Epcot’s World Showcase and Buzz Pops at Paddlefish in Disney Springs. And now these grown-up popsicles have made their way to Pizza Ponte in Disney Springs as well!
Pizza Ponte Wine Pop
The good news here is that the new Pizza Ponte popsicles we’re checking out today are made by the same brand (Pop Fusions) as the popsicles being served in the Italy pavilion at Epcot. [Read more…]
Hello from the Louisiana — er, Disney — Bayou! We moseyed over to Port Orleans French Quarter this week, and of course had to stop at one of our favorite Quick Service spots — Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory!
Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory
Sassagoula is best known for being the only spot in Walt Disney World for a classic Mickey shaped beignet — the warm, fluffy treat that I dream about more than I’d like to admit.

But today, something else caught our eye BESIDES tasty pastries. When we looked at the Menu Board at the “Italian Station” we noticed the “Create Your Own Pasta” was gone!

In its place were three “French Quarter” Pastas — Shrimp Arrabbiata, Chicken Alfredo, and Vegetarian. We also spotted a new Bayou Lasagna. We just had to sample a dish or two! [Read more…]
It’s about that time, folks: the heat of summer is rolling in. Here at the DFB that means finding lots of tasty little frozen drinks to keep us cool while we’re hustling from ride to ride. In Disneyland’s Frontierland, Rancho Del Zocalo has a fruity drink with a floral twist: the Jamaica Freeze!
Jamaica Freeze
There’s no clear description of this drink on the menu placard or online, but it may be inspired by Agua de Jamaica, a Mexican iced hibiscus tea traditionally served with midday meals. [Read more…]
in Disneyland’s Fantasyland is the little overlay that could. Back in 2017, Disneyland Park reimagined its historic Village Haus as part of the company’s celebration of the release of the live-action Beauty and the Beast. But the last petal still hasn’t fallen, and Red Rose Taverne appears to be a sticking around indefinitely.

So when we’re in Disneyland, we always pop by to see what’s cookin’ in this poor, provincial town, and recently we discovered a couple new breakfast dishes we had to try. [Read more…]
Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside
offers some truly delicious and underrated dining.
is the resort’s table service dining option, and it’s a terrific under-the-radar spot that’s pretty much always a sure thing, even when other restaurants are packed to the gills. Muddy Rivers is a great pool bar, and River Roost is a charming place to relax with a drink.
When it comes to quick service dining at the resort, Riverside Mill is where it’s at. We’ve eaten here many times before, and the variety and quality have typically been pretty top-notch for a hotel food court. The atmosphere of Riverside is another winning attribute, helping diners to relax and refuel in a space that’s rustic and comfortable.
When we discovered the menus here had changed, we were eager to try the new items.

The Riverside Mill has great curb appeal with its blue exterior and long front porch. [Read more…]
