food IS a theme park
Remember when those true-to-life magnets featuring iconic Disney snacks arrived at merchandise stops around Disney World? We’re talking Mickey-shaped Pretzels, Turkey Legs, Churros, Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, and Mickey Waffles?
Well, a few more have hit the scene…
New Display of Mickey Mouse Snack Magnets
So let’s take a look and see if any of YOUR favorite Disney snacks have been memorialized in magnet form!

we broke the news that the Pork Shanks were officially taken off of the menu at Gaston’s Tavern in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
We also told you we would keep you posted on the potential replacement. So we are here to tell you that now on the menu is the: Tavern Beef Stew!
Let’s see how it compares to the surely missed pork shanks… .
Gaston’s Tavern is of course a tribute to the villain from Beauty and the Beast and offers an atmosphere that stays true to its name. (There are definitely antlers in the decorating!)
Check out all the details of the restaurant here.

I bet that after a long day battling crowds at Disney World, alcohol and ice cream sound pretty darn good. Put ’em TOGETHER, and you’ve got our #OnTheList item for today!!
#OnTheList Ice Cream Martini
This week’s #OnTheList item popped up a couple of years ago in Epcot’s France at L’Artisan des Glaces! An Ice Cream Martini? Yes, please! [Read more…]
Ready for a little “Pilgrim”-age to Hollywood Studios? Sorry — I had to.
We are back again with yet another delicious new disney cupcake over at DHS. Replacing the Halloween Carrot Cake Cupcake is the all new Thanksgiving Pumpkin cupcake!
Thanksgiving Pumpkin Cupcake
These can, as usual, be found at many of the quick service spots around the park. Keep in mind that Rosie’s All American Cafe and Catalina Eddies’s are currently closed for renovations! We found this one at Fairfax Fare.
Yep — drinks can be iconic, too, and this one is imperative for every in-the-know Disney drinker.
#OnTheList: Grand Marnier Orange Slush
This week’s #OnTheList item has become one of the must have drinks year-round at Epcot. It is the perfect choice when you want to have a yummy drink and be able to cool down at the same time: the Grand Marnier Orange Slush in France!
The cupcake haven that is Disney’s Hollywood Studios is currently celebrating Halloween with an updated twist on an old favorite: the Carrot Cake Cupcake. It might not sound like a Halloween cupcake, but thanks to the jack-o-lantern on top (sporting MICKEY EARS, no less) it sure does look like one!
Carrot Cake Cupcake
We’ve enjoyed our fair share of Carrot Cake Cupcakes at the Studios with the Olaf Carrot Cake Cupcake in and around the Frozen Summer Fun event over the past two summers. So what’s the twist I mentioned? This time, it’s topped off with Orange Buttercream Icing (and — of course — the Pumpkin Mickey!). [Read more…]
Editor’s Note: Burgers had previously been removed from the Pecos Bill menu altogether, but a new burger, the Southwest Burger, has recently been added. Also, rice bowls aren’t currently available.
Howdy hey there! After being closed for a few days, Pecos Bill Tale Tall Inn and Cafe is back up and running with a completely new menu!

I know this may be not-too-happy news for those old school Pecos Bill fans, but the new menu isn’t so bad. Let’s take a look at the changes! [Read more…]
is at it again! Becoming known for their oft-changing macaroni and cheese-based menu items, this spot has a new version to add: Barbecue Chicken Macaroni and Cheese!
Friar’s Nook Sign
Tucked into Fantasyland, Friar’s Nook is a walk-up location with all-outdoor seating. [Read more…]
Ready for some beer that doesn’t really seem like beer but is still super awesome? Let’s go to Epcot!
When you’re wandering around this great-for-food-and-beverage-lovers park, you never know what you’re going to come upon. There’s that great value — and surprisingly hidden — Epcot wine walk, the sweet deal of the cheese plate and wine flight at Weinkeller, that killer cronut, and probably lots more that you might never have known about.
One of my favorite not-so-hidden gems here is the Rose and Crown Beer Stand. I say not-so-hidden because there are several times during the day when you will likely have to change your walking path in order to swerve around the line that builds up here. 😉
Rose and Crown proper is a great pub and restaurant, and we love stopping in for a pint. But if necessary, you can skip the air con and taking a load off in the pub (thank you, toddler) and instead get your drink to go at the Beer Stand.
Rose and Crown Outside Bar
You’ll find the line (make sure you get into the right one) to the left of the check-in area at the restaurant. The walk-up location serves specialty bottled and draft beers.
Here’s a bit of news for ya — there are about to be some changes coming up with Disney-branded, pre-packaged snacks and we have a sneak peek for you today at one of the new varieties!
The parks and resorts will soon start selling a Disney-branded allergy friendly line of snacks!
Snacks With Character Allergy Friendly Snack
The new line will include Chocolate Chip Crunchy Cookies, Sugar Crisp Crunchy Cookies, and Mountain Mambo Seed & Fruit Mix. The allergy friendly snacks will be billed “Snacks with Character,” and each will feature a well-known Disney character. No exact date yet on when these will be officially released, but let’s check out the Chocolate Chip Crunchy Cookies! [Read more…]
