Ahhh Disney’s Hollywood Studios — the chaotic and action-filled park. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Hollywood Studios is full of some of Disney World’s best attractions including Rise of the Resistance, Toy Story Land as a whole, Tower of Terror, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, just to name a few. Since there are SO many popular things packed into one park, the wait times can be…well…painfully long. First, though, we’ll share the good news — wait times are going down all over Disney World this week, including Hollywood Studios! Rides like Rise of the Resistance saw a pretty major drop after the 4th of July holiday. BUT we’re warning you about Slinky Dog Dash for a reason…and that reason is that it is still the highest wait time in all of Disney World. Slinky Dog Dash’s wait time did decrease, but not as much as the other attractions in the park. If Slinky Dog Dash is a must-do for you, we recommend rope dropping (going there first thing in the morning) or buying Genie+ and making your very first Lightning Lane for the ride. We’ve seen Lightning Lanes sell out very fast in the past, so we recommend grabbing it right at 7AM when reservations open! If this is not a must-do, you may find yourself skipping the Toy Story-themed coaster. Slinky Dog Dash Without further ado, let’s check out the average wait times over the past week from Disney World. Magic Kingdom Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time of 75 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 88 minutes, so the time has decreased a LOT this week. Cinderella Castle Next, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 66 minutes, Space Mountain averaged 53 minutes, and Jungle Cruise averaged 45 minutes. After that, average wait times had Haunted Mansion at 36 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 33 minutes, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 32 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 30 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 28 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean at 27 minutes, and Enchanted Tales with Belle averaged 26 minutes. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad After that, “it’s a small world” averaged 20 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway averaged 17 minutes, Mickey’s PhilharMagic and The Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini averaged 14 minutes, and Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid and Magic Carpets of Aladdin averaged 13 minutes, Magic Carpets of Aladdin Next, Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover averaged 10 minutes, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel averaged 8 minutes, and Mad Tea Party averaged 7 minutes. The Enchanted Tiki Room, Carousel of Progress, the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, and the Liberty Square Riverboat all averaged 5 minutes. Mad Tea Party in Magic Kingdom The Hall of Presidents, Country Bear Jamboree, and Tom Sawyer Island averaged no wait. Reminder: TRON Lightcycle / Run does not have a posted wait time as it only uses a Virtual Queue or Individual Lightning Lane. ALERT! A NEW Spring Roll Flavor Is Available in Magic Kingdom! EPCOT Heading over to EPCOT, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure had an average wait time of 56 minutes — this is a decrease from last week. Frozen Ever After’s wait time also decreased to 56 minutes meaning these two rides tied for the highest wait time. Ratatouille Next up is Test Track at 55 minutes, Soarin’ at 26 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 20 minutes, Turtle Talk with Crush at 15 minutes, and Spaceship Earth at 10 minutes. Test Track Then, there is Journey into Imagination, The Seas with Nemo and Friends, and Gran Fiesta Tour at 8 minutes, and Living with the Land at 7 minutes. Figment Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China had no wait times this week. Reminder: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not have a posted wait time as it only uses a Virtual Queue or Individual Lightning Lane. 5 Things MISSING From Disney’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival News Hollywood Studios Over in Hollywood Studios, Rise of the Resistance’s wait time saw a huge decrease last week and that continued this week — the average wait time dropped from 90 minutes to 67 minutes. Slinky Dog Dash also decreased but had a significantly higher average at 82 minutes making it the longest in the park. Slinky Dog Dash Other wait times in the park include Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at 56 minutes, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 47 minutes, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 46 minutes, Toy Story Mania at 43 minutes, and Tower of Terror at 39 minutes. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway After that, Alien Swirling Saucers averaged 25 minutes, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue averaged 12 minutes, Walt Disney Presents averaged 16 minutes, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy averaged 14 minutes, and Muppet*Vision 3D averaged 10 minutes. REVIEW: This Hollywood Studios Lounge Might Just Be One of the Best Kept Foodie Secrets in Disney World Animal Kingdom And last but not least, let’s talk about Animal Kingdom! Avatar Flight of Passage still had the longest average wait time this park this week with 76 minutes. This means the ride saw a MAJOR decrease since last week’s 93-minute average. Flight of Passage Following that, Na’vi River Journey at 50 minutes, Kali River Rapids at 33 minutes, DINOSAUR at 25 minutes, Kilimanjaro Safaris at 21 minutes, and Expedition Everest at 20 minutes. Expedition Everest It’s Tough to Be a Bug averaged 10 minutes and TriceraTop Spin averaged 5 minutes. Both The Boneyard and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail averaged no wait time.

You’re thinking about planning a Disney World vacation — how exciting! Walt Disney World But along with the dreaming about getting a hug from Mickey Mouse, grabbing some popcorn on Main Street, U.S.A., and watching the fireworks at Cinderella Castle, comes some concern — how are you going to pay for it all? A Disney World vacation is not cheap, so you might be wondering if Disney offers payment plans, and guess what? You’re in luck. Many Disney World travelers appreciate that they can book a basically all-inclusive package through Disney and make payments so that they can budget to pay the vacation off before they go. We’re answering your questions today about Disney World Payment Plans! It’s Disney World! What’s included with a Disney World Vacation Package? A Disney World Vacation Package typically includes your hotel room and park tickets. Packages that start on January 9th, 2024, or later also have the option of adding on the Disney Dining Plan. Hotel perks like free parking and early theme park entry are also included. How do Disney World vacation payment plans work? Disney World requires a $200 deposit when you book a vacation package, and they require the balance of your vacation package to be paid in full 30 days before your trip. Note that if you’re planning a last-minute trip with less than 30 days to spare, your payment in full will be required when you book your vacation package. Unlike cruises, which require a deposit for each person, Disney World vacation packages require a $200 deposit per reservation. There are no required payment plans in between your deposit at time of booking and that final payment being due 30 days before the trip. If you’re ever used a layaway plan at a retail store, this works on a similar concept — you make a deposit, and Disney World agrees to hold that room and park tickets for those days for you as long as you pay it off by the deadline. Disney’s Pop Century Resort This allows you to design your own payment plan. Many travelers choose to pay the deposit and then make payments on their balance on a monthly basis, or maybe even each time they get paid. Others choose to save the money themselves and not pay anything else directly to Disney until that final payment is due. Either way works — you can decide what works best for your situation. Is there interest charged on a Disney World vacation plan? Disney does not charge any interest for its vacation packages. Your price will be the same if you pay in full on the day you book, pay the deposit on the day you book and make regular payments to pay it off, or pay the deposit on the day you book and then not pay another dime until 30 days before your trip when the balance is due. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that while Disney does not charge interest — your credit card probably will. If you charge your vacation on a credit card that you don’t pay off right away, you will be subject to interest charges each month. The Disney World Monorail When can you book a Disney World vacation package? You can book a Disney World package as far out as Disney World has released them, with that required $200 per reservation deposit. Disney generally releases its vacation packages and prices in late May for the next calendar year. For example, Disney released its 2024 vacation packages on May 31st, 2023. So, starting that day you could book a package all the way through early January, 2025. Can you buy Disney World tickets on a payment plan? While you can make payments on a hotel and tickets vacation package, or on a hotel room reservation with no tickets, there is no payment plan for Disney World tickets by themselves. If you are just buying Disney World tickets, payment in full will be due when you purchase them. One exception to this is that Disney World does offer payment plans for Florida residents who buy annual passes. You can find out more about that here. Get a Disney World vacation quote — click here! What if I need to cancel while I’m making payments? So, here’s one of the best things about booking a Disney World vacation package in advance and making payments — if something changes that makes you need to cancel your vacation, you can — for free. While we hate to hear about anyone needing to cancel a vacation, we know that sometimes, life happens. In those instances, you can get all your money back — including that deposit — if you cancel 31 days or more before your vacation was to begin. Inside that 30-day window, you will be charged a $200 cancellation fee — so, you will get all your money back except the deposit. But be careful — if you don’t cancel and just don’t check in, or if you cancel 24 hours or less before the vacation begins, you will be charged the full amount.

There are some Disney World snacks that go down in history as our all-time favorites. Classic DOLE Whip Cheeseburger spring rolls. Dole Whip. ‘Ohana noodles. These snacks are practically Disney World icons and MUST be eaten at every possible opportunity. But every once in a while, Disney (sadly) takes away one of our beloved snacks. That happened to one of the best treats from Disney’s Animal Kingdom…however, we may have found a solution! If you’ve been going to Disney World for five years or more, or you’ve been a longtime watcher of DFB, then you’ve probably heard AJ talk about the beloved Pulled Pork Cheese Fries that used to live at Flame Tree Barbecue. Like the name suggests, they were loaded with pulled pork and cheese and general deliciousness. They are very addicting, and we all miss them dearly. (A moment of silence, if you please.) Pulled Pork Fries with Cheese at Flame Tree Barbecue Now, I’ve been thinking about these fries a lot lately and wondering if there was a way that we could re-create them with a Disney World snack hack. Sadly, even though you could get fries and pulled pork at Flame Tree Barbecue, there was no cheese sauce (or, as we call it here at DFB, plastic cheese) to be found. And don’t try and convince us to use the pre-packaged stuff that comes with Mickey pretzels because it is NOT the same. REAL plastic cheese Alas, we thought we were out of luck…UNTIL a big surprise arrived at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom — the new Chipotle Barbecue Loaded Fries. They come topped with pulled pork, slaw, and chipotle barbecue sauce for $7.49. And at Casey’s Corner, it’s easy to add a side of plastic cheese for just $1! Chipotle Barbecue Loaded Fries I placed my order through the My Disney Experience app and picked up the food, ready to DIY the snack and be reunited with cheesy, pork-covered potato goodness. I simply poured the cheese sauce over the fries, and VOILA, a beautiful snack hack was born. Loaded cheesy goodness So did they live up to the hype? The pork was delicious and a little smoky, the fries were nice and crispy, and the cheese sauce complimented it all very well. The only thing I might change is that those fries come topped with coleslaw, which can be a tad strange when mixed with the other flavors. In the end, I didn’t really mind it too much, but to get them without coleslaw, I think you’d need to order at the counter instead of a Mobile Order. I might would order without coleslaw, but these took me BACK I actually REALLY liked this snack overall, and I would totally order it again! It can be messy, and there are a lot of toppings, so I suggest prepping yourself with a fork and some napkins. All in all, these aren’t exactly the same as the old fries from Flame Tree, but they made my potato-loving heart very happy. YUM, y’all, YUM. If you happen to try this snack hack soon, make sure to let us know what you thought! We’ll keep you updated with more new snacks and food reviews from Disney World so that you know what to eat during your vacation. WE KNOW – there are SO many great snacks at Disney World! How do you choose (we don’t want to choose but will blow our budget on Day 1 otherwise)? We’ve got you covered!

Have you noticed a trend with Disney merch lately? Discounts galore! There’s so much merchandise on sale, it’s kind of unusual, especially during the peak summer season when the park is usually packed. I mean, we go there every day, and we’re seeing more discounted stuff than ever before. Random Loungefly bags and Mickey ears are all marked down. You know, they often have sales — especially in EPCOT when a festival nears its end, but this time it’s like a retail bonanza. It got me wondering, are they having trouble selling all this stuff now compared to a few months ago? You may not believe that words like “sale” or “discount” can be part of the same sentence as “Disney World,” but I’ve been noticing that there are tons of products on sale right now at Disney World. So much so, it’s really got me wondering about the reasons behind it all. Magic Kingdom I think one possible reason behind this merchandise surplus is the ongoing impact of the pandemic. Even though things might seem “back to normal” for the most part, supply chain issues are still causing disruptions. Remember when everything came to a standstill, factories shut down, and shipping became a nightmare? Well, that has created a backlog, and now there’s excess inventory to deal with. So, to clear out their stock, Disney is putting more items on sale than they normally would. Disney Merch But it’s not just Disney dealing with these challenges. Have you noticed how even retail giants like Target have been offering more discounts lately? It’s all part of the same thing. The retail industry as a whole is still trying to recover and adjust. They’re facing higher shipping costs, labor shortages, and unpredictable demand. So, discounting has become a common strategy to entice customers and boost sales. Target You know what’s interesting? Even though it’s the middle of summer, the busiest time at Disney World, consumer preferences can change. Maybe people are looking for different things or have shifted their spending priorities. Disney, being the smart company they are, wants to keep up with these changing demands. They might be trying out new products or responding to visitor feedback, which could lead to temporary excess inventory and more discounts. Summer has arrived! In the end, I think it’s a combination of ongoing supply chain challenges from the pandemic and the retail industry’s need to adapt. It’s actually pretty cool for us visitors because we get to enjoy some unique bargains. It’s like finding hidden treasures amidst all the hustle and bustle. Plus, it reminds us that even though the pandemic is becoming a thing of the past, its effects are still lingering in unexpected ways. Time to stock up on some Disney stuff So, let’s embrace the opportunity to snag those discounted Loungefly bags and Minnie ears, and appreciate the complex interplay between supply and demand in the ever-evolving retail world.

Planning a Disney World vacation can be a lot of work. Welcome to Disney World — where ya staying? Have you researched how to use Genie+? Did you snag all of your dining reservations? Decided on a hotel for your stay? If you’re still struggling with the last one, we are here to help. There are so many resorts to choose from, and they all have their benefits depending on what you’re looking for on your vacation. But, some hotels are particularly reliable. We picked our top three hotels for when we just want to know we’re going to have a good experience. Follow along! 1. Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter We’re starting off with one of the BEST moderate resorts — Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter. Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort First, the atmosphere of this hotel is so much fun. You’ll feel like you’re celebrating Mardi Gras no matter what time of year you visit. And, if you are visiting during actual Mardi Gras, there’s a whole party to take part in! Let’s Celebrate! In keeping with the theme, this spot has some amazing New Orleans-style food options. Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory serves up classics like shrimp and grits, jambalaya, gumbo, and other fun cajun flavors. And don’t forget, you can grab some Mickey-shaped Beignets at Scat Cat’s Club! Mickey Beignets! But, if you’re not too keen on the food options here, you’re just a boat ride away from Disney Springs, which is full of great food and entertainment. Boat service to Disney Springs For a moderately-priced Disney hotel, this spot has a lot to offer! Plus, it can often feel a bit quieter and more relaxed than some of the Disney hotels closer to the hustle-and-bustle of the parks. Combine that with its relatively small size, moderate resort pricing, and walking access to Port Orleans — Riverside, and you’ve got a WINNER.  2. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Another one of the best-themed hotels you’ll find on property is Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Animal Kingdom Lodge This resort invites you to the “heart of Africa,” with savannas that are home to hundreds of animals. The best part? You can book a room overlooking these savannas! Savanna You can spot zebras, giraffes, okapi, and more — all while you’re sipping coffee on your balcony. Talk about relaxation. If you want a closer look, you can book a Starlight Safari, an hour-long experience that takes place after the sun goes down — complete with night vision goggles. (Note that this is an extra cost.) Giraffe seen on Starlight Safari This hotel is also known for having some of the best dining experiences across Disney World. There is a wide range of options here — from fine dining to Quick Service. Boma offers flavorful African dishes and American classics in a buffet setting. Zebra Domes Jiko — The Cooking Place is one of the most romantic restaurants on property with an adventurous (and delicious) menu. Oak-grilled Filet at Jiko And at Sanaa, you’ll find the famous Indian-style Bread Service that you can’t miss. Sanaa Bread Service Even the counter service location, The Mara, offers a nice selection of food options with some more unique bites than your regular chicken tenders and fries. The Mara The only thing that detracts from the amazing experience here at Animal Kingdom Lodge is the less-than-optimal transportation options. The resort is close to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but pretty far from the other three parks, and the only way to get there (aside from driving yourself or taking a ride share) is to take one of Disney’s busses. You’ll also want to keep in mind that this is a Deluxe Resort so it’ll come on the high-end in terms of pricing. But, if that doesn’t bother you — this resort is definitely worth checking out! Yacht Club vs. Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney World Resort Guide 2023 3. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge At this resort themed after the Pacific Northwest, you’ll feel like you’re right in the heart of nature. This Lodge has one of the grandest lobbies in Disney World, and the atmosphere here is stunning! The Lobby of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort In the lobby, you’ll even find a “hot spring” that flows right indoors from the outside. Nearby, a geyser, inspired by Yellowstone National Park’s Old Faithful, sends water high up into the air. Fire Rock Geyser At Christmas, you’ll find a massive six-story tree and some of the best decor around. Wilderness Lodge Christmas Tree Here, you’re also conveniently located near Magic Kingdom. Head to any of the parks by bus, or hop on a boat for a nice ride over to Magic Kingdom. Boat Transportation at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge For dining, this hotel has a unique character meal — Storybook Dining at Artist Point. It’s a prix fixe meal with some really good food, and you’ll get to meet Snow White, Dopey, Grumpy, and the Evil Queen in an Enchanted Forest. Storybook Dining at Artist Point Whispering Canyon Cafe, Geyser Point Bar and Grill, and Roaring Fork are other great dining options that provide a nice variety. Bison Burger and Waffle Fries Cozy cabin vibes, great food, and proximity to Magic Kingdom? There are lots of people out there that are BIG fans of this resort and it’s easy to see why. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Just be aware that this is a Deluxe Resort, meaning stays here won’t exactly come cheap. Tour one of the rooms at Wilderness Lodge These are some reasons that we feel are solid options, but if you’re still not sure where to stay, make sure to check out our list of the best Disney World Hotels for 2023.

There is SO much going on in Disney World right now — it’s hard to keep track of everything! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Splash Mountain is long gone and is becoming Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. New restaurants are being built at Disney’s BoardWalk and Disney Springs. The Moana attraction in EPCOT is coming right along. Now, let’s take a look at Disney’s NEW Disney Vacation Club villas that are coming together at Disney’s Polynesian Resort! So the last time we checked in with updates on the new DVC buildings, we noticed that the buildings were growing taller. This is what it was starting to look like. Construction from May 2023 Well, now, we’ve noticed some blue scrims over parts of the building — could these be actual villa rooms where guests will someday stay? Are those rooms? You’ll also notice that there are still plenty of cranes, trucks, and other equipment on the work site, too. Plenty of equipment still around It’s hard to believe this site was once just mostly dirt — these buildings have been going up pretty quickly. Here, you can see how close the villas will be to the rest of the Polynesian Resort. There’s still a pile of dirt between the villas and the existing structure, but it looks like something might going there eventually. Could this be the site of a future pool, maybe? This was once ALL dirt The DVC villas are already the tallest buildings at the Polynesian Village Resort. Tallest buildings at the Polynesian These villas will have amazing views of the water, though. See how close they are? Water views We’ll continue to keep an eye on the construction progress of these new villas and let you know when Disney announces an official opening date. It still looks like there’s quite a bit of work to be done, though, so it may be a while! It’s been interesting watching the structure of the resort go from a pile of dirt to this, though!

The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is just around the corner, and we’ve got some important insider tips to help you have an AWESOME festival experience! 2022 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival We LOVE exploring all of the limited-time offerings at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival when it rolls around each year. This year’s festival is set to run from July 27th through November 18th and it will feature exclusive entertainment, new merchandise, and, of course, over 25 delicious Global Marketplace Food Booths. We’ve been trying (literally) EVERYTHING at the festival for years, and during that time we’ve racked up quite a few tips about how to do the festival like a pro. Here are our key insider tips for the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival! Plan Your Must-Try Menu Items in Advance With over 25 Global Marketplace Food Booths that feature hundreds of food and drink options to try, it can be easy to get carried away with what you decide to order! Especially if you arrive at the park hungry and are tempted to stop at the first booth you see. Noodles from the 2022 Festival While it can be fun to try new items on the fly, if you get too carried away with ordering the first items you see, you might find yourself too full — or too far over your budget — to try the festival eats that you REALLY want. That’s why we recommend taking a look at the EPCOT Food & Wine menus before you get to the park and picking out a few dishes that you definitely want to try so you don’t get overwhelmed by the options in the moment! 2022 Festival Dish If you want even more help prepping for the festival, we’re here to help! Order the 2023 DFB Food & Wine Festival Guide for ALL of the festival tips and info that you need to really tackle the festival like a pro! Click Here to Get the 2023 DFB Food & Wine Festival Guide! Carry Some Cash Okay, so you’ve got your must-taste menu items picked out. But beware, Mother Nature could still stand between you and your buy list! At previous festivals, we have seen the credit card and gift card readers at the booths go down during storms. Rainy Day in EPCOT And since the summertime in Florida tends to bring LOTS of pop-up thunderstorms, we like to carry a little bit of cash in our park bag, just in case there is a disruption of digital payments at the festival booths! 8 Things You’ll Regret Not Having With You When It Rains In Disney World Stay Hydrated Eating and drinking around the festival is one of our favorite Disney World activities. That’s how we know just how easy it can be to get caught up in the fun and forget to stay hydrated! Hawai’i Booth 2022 Between the intense Florida heat, snacking around the booths, and sipping on alcoholic beverages, dehydration can sneak up on you pretty fast if you’re not careful. That’s why one of our must-haves for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is a refillable water bottle. And, since it only works if we actually USE it, we make sure to drink water with the festival eats/drinks we order, in addition to taking regular sips throughout the non-food-centric parts of our park day. Water Bottle Refill Station in EPCOT Don’t panic if you forget your water bottle at home! There’s also bottled water available to buy at tons of locations throughout the park, plus free cups of water at select quick service food locations. The Secret To Getting a FREE Upgrade in EPCOT Eat to the Beat Dining Packages One of the most popular entertainment offerings at the Food & Wine Festival is the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, which features live performances from artists like Sugar Ray, Billy Ocean, Hanson, and more in the America Gardens Theatre. Eat to the Beat Seating for the Eat to the Beat concerts can fill up FAST, especially for the more popular artists. If the artist that’s performing during your visit is an absolute must-see for you, you may want to purchase the Eat to the Beat Dining Package to make sure you get a seat for the show, AND save tons of time standing in line for standby! Big Bad Voodoo Daddy The Eat to the Beat Dining Package comes with reserved seating for the show, plus a meal at one of several EPCOT restaurants! Pricing for the package depends on the restaurant selected, and you can check out the full list of options here. Learn More About the 2023 Eat to the Beat Concert Series! Bring Your Own Tray The Food & Wine Festival is a popular event, and that means it’s often tough to find an open table to stand at and enjoy all of your food booth eats! If you plan on snagging a ton of menu items, especially multiple dishes from the same booth, you may want to pack your own tray in case you do find yourself tableless! Food and Wine Logo Food Tray Of course, you could also get creative and use another surface as a makeshift table. You may have even spotted people using the flat surfaces of the trash cans as a table (it’s us, we’re people). But if that’s not your jam, packing a tray can be helpful in case you do find yourself without a table!

Puffy pizza, sub-par chicken nuggets, and theme park hot dogs are just a few of the (many) BORING food options available at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a chicken nugget or two (we’ve done it, too!), but we’re here to tell you that you can do better. If you’re tired of the same old bland, uninteresting snacks in Disney World, we’re here to free you from that bad theme park food. We’re going to Hollywood! While some Disney parks have DOZENS of phenomenal food options, like Satu’li Canteen and Flame Tree Barbecue at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, other parks, well, fall short. But fear not! We’ve tried it ALL — the good, the bad, and the weird, and we’re here to help you find the BEST food at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In this post, we’re limiting our list to the top seven foods at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Of course, there are plenty more dining options than what we’re covering, but we focused on only the BEST snacks in this list. Now let’s talk FOOD! 1. Ronto Wrap Ronto Roasters may not have a very large menu, but that’s okay! We find ourselves ordering the same thing practically every time we visit this snack spot in Galaxy’s Edge. The Ronto Wrap may look (and sound) a little strange compared to the more average theme park foods in Disney World, but it’s well worth a try! Ronto Wrap The Ronto Wrap is one of our FAVORITE things to eat in Hollywood Studios, and even the breakfast version (known as the Ronto Morning Wrap) was a win for us. Disney’s Ronto Wrap is made with roasted pork, grilled pork sausage, peppercorn sauce, and tangy slaw wrapped in pita bread. Oh, and BONUS: it’s pretty healthy! Click here to read our review of the beloved Ronto Wrap 2. Cobb Salad & Grapefruit Cake We feel obligated to mention both the famous Cobb Salad AND the Grapefruit Cake served at Hollywood Brown Derby. This restaurant is definitely on the more expensive side, but we’ve consistently enjoyed quality meals at this famous spot. We LOVE it here! If you’re unfamiliar, that famous Cobb Salad has a backstory: It was originally created as a custom late-night snack for Sid Grauman (of Grauman’s Chinese Theater fame). Chef Robert Cobb finely chopped and tossed together several ingredients to create Grauman’s beloved Cobb Salad, and it eventually caught on and became a crowd-favorite! The famous Cobb Salad The Brown Derby Cobb Salad consists of finely chopped greens, turkey breast, bacon, egg, tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, avocado, chives, and Cobb dressing. We’re getting hungry just thinking about it! YUM! While you’re there, you might as well order the Grapefruit Cake, too! It’s another POPULAR pick among fans. Grapefruit Cake If you’re looking for a sit-down dining option in Hollywood Studios, we highly recommend the Hollywood Brown Derby. It’s simply a classic! Read our latest review of Hollywood Brown Derby here! 3. Carrot Cake Cookie It goes by many names, has seen several transformations, and even moved locations, but the Carrot Cake Cookie (also known as the Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie) is still a DFB favorite! Carrot Cake Cookie Currently, you can find it at the Trolley Car Café (it’s the Starbucks location in Hollywood Studios). This Whoopie Pie/Cookie creation is made with sweet carrot cake and a thick frosting filling. The icing-to-cake ratio may change from time to time, but we keep coming back for more either way — that MUST mean it’s a winner! Click here to see our full review of the Carrot Cake Cookie 4. Totchos Looking to dine in Toy Story Land? Skip the restaurant and go to Woody’s Lunch Box instead. TOTCHOS! That may sound surprising, but we simply ADORE the Totchos, and it’s hard to compete with tater tots, beef and bean chili, shredded cheese, queso, tomatoes, corn chips, green onions, and sour cream. Basically, imagine nachos but with potato barrels. Yeah, it’s amazing. See a recent review of Woody’s Lunch Box HERE 5. Bavarian Pretzel BaseLine Tap House is another fan-favorite spot in Hollywood Studios, and for good reason! Both the charcuterie board AND the Bavarian Pretzel served here are great, filling options. OMG The Bavarian Pretzel is served with spicy mustard and a beer cheese fondue, and WOW, is that cheese fondue heavenly. We crave it on a semi-daily basis. If you’re more of a charcuterie person, the Charcuterie Board has plenty of savory cheeses and meats that are perfect for mixing and matching with every bite. Click here to see our full review 6. PB & J Milkshake Over at the 50’s Prime Time Cafe, you can order a unique milkshake that may bring you back to your childhood. Peanut Butter & Jelly Milkshake Sure, we love the Fried Chicken and the classic veggies served at this restaurant, but it’s the Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake that we crave most often. As you can imagine, this milkshake has both the creamy flavor of peanut butter AND the sweet flavor of jelly, all mixed up into one refreshing milkshake. YUM. Click here to learn more about the 50s Prime Time Cafe 7. Jack-Jack Cookie Num Num Finally, we’ll leave you with a simple but effective treat. The Jack-Jack Cookie Num Num is a rich, huge chocolate chip cookie that is served fresh and warm each day. Sometimes, you don’t need to mess with the classics, right? This is SUCH a good cookie! You can find it at the Neighborhood Bakery in Pixar Place. Click here to see the NEWLY reopened Neighborhood Bakery As you can see, we are VERY passionate about good food.

A highly-anticipated EPCOT event is returning SOON — are you ready? Are you hungry? We sure are! Soon, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is returning (July 27th, to be exact!), and there are TONS of new menu items coming to EPCOT this year. With all the fun activities, like a scavenger hunt, a live outdoor concert series, and a cheese crawl, there’s plenty to do during the festival. Food & Wine Festival But today, we’re here to talk about the FOOD. With sooooo many new and returning options, it can be overwhelming to look at all those menus. That’s why we’re here to point out four NEW menu items you need to try. Based on what we know about a few returning EPCOT Food Booths, we already have their new menu items on our radar. The Alps — Dark Chocolate Fondue with Berries, Pound Cake and Meringues (plant-based item) The Alps serves some of the warmest, cheeeesiest dishes in the World Showcase; in the past, the Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Alpine Ham, Baby Potatoes, Cornichons and Baguette has consistently been on our list of festival favorites. So when we heard that a NEW Dark Chocolate Fondue was added to the menu, we IMMEDIATELY added it to our list of must-try foods. Warm Raclette with Ham from 2022 With such an impressive track record, we can’t wait to try the SWEET new menu addition coming to The Alps this year. Click here to see The Alps full menu The Fry Basket— Pickle Fries with Dill Ranch Two words. Pickle. Fries. Need we say more? Oh, and to make us even MORE tempted, Disney decided to add a side of Dill Ranch. Yeah, this is a no-brainer. Last year, we LOVED the Adobo Yuca Fries with Garlic-Cilantro Aïoli, so we have a good feeling about the newest menu addition at The Fry Basket. Yuca Fries from 2022 If you love fried pickles, french fries, or just about anything The Fry Basket serves, you NEED to mark this food booth down on your list. Trust us. Click here to see the full menu at The Fry Basket Refreshment Port Hosted by Boursin Cheese — Cinnamon-Sugar Beaver Tail Bear claws, beaver tails, Cheshire Cat tails…we’ll try just about any sort of critter-related treat. They almost never disappoint! This year, Refreshment Port has us excited to try the new Cinnamon-Sugar Beaver Tail. Last year, the Braised Beef Poutine was one of our festival favorites, so we know that this food booth has a GREAT reputation. Braised Beef Poutine from 2022 If you’re feeling hungry, we recommend ordering BOTH the Braised Beef Poutine AND the new Cinnamon-Sugar Beaver Tail; that way, you get a sweet and savory snack at the same time! Click here to see the full Refreshment Port menu Shimmering Sips Hosted by CORKCICLE — Berry Mimosa with Berry Fizz Sparkling Wine and White Cranberry Juice We can’t go to the Food and Wine Festival without ordering a drink, right? Shimmering Sips has some of our favorite drinks, and now the new Berry Mimosa with Berry Fizz Sparkling Wine and White Cranberry Juice is calling our name! We’ve previously enjoyed the Mimosa Flight at this location, so we’re hoping the new mimosa won’t let us down! Mimosa Flight from 2022 Last year, the Mimosa Flight came with a Tropical Mimosa (made with sparkling wine and Minute Maid passion fruit, orange, and guava juices — a.k.a. POG juice!), a Key Lime Mimosa (made with Key Lime sparkling wine and cranberry juice), and a Blood Orange Mimosa (made with sparkling wine and blood orange juice). We thought that they were all very refreshing! Click here to see the Shimmering Sips menu Clearly, we’re going to need to go into this festival with an empty stomach and plenty of time; we’ve got an entire World Showcase to make it through (plus one booth over by Test Track) in order to sample all these new snacks! In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more. 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Booths, Menus, and FOOD PHOTOS IT'S WINE & DINE TIME!

Ever heard the phrase, “Never let them know you’re next move?” Well, Disney certainly seems to take that stance. One moment, we’re enjoying a nice, clear World Showcase Lagoon; the next, there are giant poles sticking up out of the water. Yeah, you might as well give up trying to predict what Disney will do next. Genie+ is the new FastPass+ Recently, Disney made a pretty big change to its FastPass+ replacement, known as Genie+. Let’s see how the new system is working in early July! Ever since Disney introduced Genie+ back in 2021, the system has continued to grow and change. Back on June 27th, Disney changed its Genie+ system so that guests can purchase Genie+ specifically for the park that they want to visit. Guests can choose to buy a single-park Genie+ option or a multi-park option. Genie+ Ever since the change went into effect, we’ve seen some pretty high Genie+ prices for certain parks (mainly Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios). Keep in mind, though, that the price changes based on the date and crowd level, thanks to Disney’s date-based pricing method. The price is usually higher when the park is more crowded For example, on July 4th, Genie+ was $29 to use with either the Magic Kingdom or Multiple Parks option. Genie+ cost $21 at EPCOT, $26 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and $18 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. ©Disney Now, Genie+ has reached the lowest price since Disney introduced its new park-specific Genie+ option. Magic Kingdom and the Multiple Parks options are $23, EPCOT is $17, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is $21, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is $15 per person. ©Disney Of course, this is all relative; Genie+ cost $15 per person, per day back when it debuted. (And before that, FastPasses were free.) That said, as of July 8th, Genie+ is the cheapest we’ve seen in a while. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train We will continue to look out for more Genie+ changes in Disney World, and we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more price changes, too!

Toy Story Land may have gotten a new restaurant this year, but that doesn’t mean you should skip over the classics! Toy Story Land Roundup Rodeo Barbecue is the new family-style table service meal that has larger-than-life theming and serves up barbecue staples. But what if you are looking for something a little more convenient with (almost) as much charm? Woody’s Lunch Box is a quick-service dining location that paved the way for heavily themed restaurants in Toy Story Land. This week, I stopped by for lunch — come see how it went! Atmosphere If you’re walking around Andy’s backyard, you probably won’t miss this whimsical spot near Alien’s Swirling Saucers. Just like everything else in Toy Story Land, it is full of huge, colorful details that make you feel toy-sized. Woody’s Lunch Box When you walk up to the restaurant, you’ll notice that it looks like you’re walking right into Andy’s lunch box — propped up with Woody’s Roundup thermos on the side! Woody’s Lunch Box You can either place your order at Lotso’s Bear-y Bites or Trizie’s Treats... Order …or place a mobile order, which you will pick up at the window when you’re notified that it’s ready. Notice how the window is surrounded by carrots and celery? Mobile Order window On a closer look, you’ll see even more fun details, like these animal crackers around the windows. Animal Crackers The dining area is all outside, and it can get a bit chaotic here looking for a table during busy hours. Woody’s Lunch Box But, it’s full of personality. Some tables have chairs made to look like Babybel cheese… Cheese tables …and have fun details, like this note from Andy’s mom. Woody’s Lunch Box table While it can get very hot here for much of the year, most of the tables do have umbrellas… Seating area …some of them are even themed! Table umbrella Once you place your order, you can grab a spot to sit. Condiments and utensils are self-serve. Self-serve station Let’s take a look at the menu! Menu The menu here is pretty simple, but there are some good options. Menu They offer a mix of Souvenir Specialties — like the Alien Sipper, Limited-timed Offerings — like the 4th of July Lunch Box Tart, and Daily Lunch Box Tarts. ©Disney For Entrees, you’ll find options like the BBQ Brisket Melt, Smoked Turkey Sandwich, Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich, and “Totchos.” There are also a few Plant-based options on the list. ©Disney The sides menu includes items like Tomato-Basil Soup, Potato Barrels, and Mini Babybel Snack Cheese. ©Disney Kids can choose between the Turkey Sandwich or the Grilled Cheese. ©Disney Lastly, there are quite a few beverages to choose from. Frozen Mystic Portal Punch and the Ice Cream Float with Barq’s Root Beer are specialty beverage options. There’s a long list of soft beverages, teas, juices, hot cocoa, and other drinks to choose from. If you’re looking for something with some alcohol, you can try the Grown-Up’s Lemonade or one of their beer options. ©Disney Let’s dig in, shall we? Eats For my late lunch, I ordered the BBQ Brisket Melt, “Totchos,” Raspberry Lunch Box Tart, and the Fourth of July Lunch Box Tart. Full spread First, I tried the BBQ Brisket Melt for $13.29. This was Shredded Smoked Brisket, Pickles, and Tangy Barbecue Sauce between Melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack on Grilled Sourdough Bread. BBQ Brisket Melt I loved this! The brisket was soft and tender, and the barbecue sauce had a ton of flavor. It was sweet and tangy and complimented the sandwich well. The sourdough bread was toasted perfectly, with a nice, buttery flavor where it was grilled. There was a nice mix of cheeses, as well, but I would have preferred a little more. BBQ Brisket Melt On the side, I got Tomato-basil Soup. This was nice and creamy with a bright tang from the ripe tomatoes. It was seasoned well, with a good amount of salt and freshness from the basil. Tomato-basil Soup Next up, I had the famous “Totchos” for $9.99. This is Potato Barrels coated with Beef and Bean Chili, Shredded Cheese, and signature Queso with Tomatoes and Corn Chips, finished with Sour Cream and a sprinkle of Green Onions. “Totchos” This is a super-flavorful, filling meal under $10! In my opinion, all of the flavors in this went well together. The corn chips added a nice crunchy texture, and the cheese and sour cream made it all melty, creamy, and delicious. “Totchos” The Beef and Bean Chili had a lot of flavor as well, and I would get this altered version of nachos again. My only complaint was that some of the potato barrels were a little dry. That cheese on top was great, but if you don’t eat it while it’s all hot, it doesn’t make its way down to the tots well and then they seem plain. A closer look Next up, I had the Raspberry Lunch Box Tart for $4.49. This was a Raspberry Marmalade-stuffed Pastry coated in a Strawberry Fondant and Crispy Pearls. Raspberry Lunch Box Tart This was a pretty good treat — it tastes a lot like a sugar cookie stuffed with raspberry jam. So, if you like sugar cookies, you’ll probably like this. The raspberry jam was sweet and tart. I also loved the way the crispy pearls and raspberry candy added a nice crunch to the treat. Raspberry Lunch Box Tart Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of the Strawberry Fondant. It’s just too sweet and has a weird texture in my opinion. But, if you like fondant this might be a great option for you! Overall, this is a sweet, glorified sugar cookie — but that doesn’t mean it isn’t tasty! Raspberry Marmalade filling Lastly, I had the Fourth of July Lunch Box Tart for $4.49. This version of the Lunch Box Tart is here just in time for the holiday. It’s a similar concept but has Cherry Pie Filling, Blue Vanilla Fondant, and is topped with Star Sprinkles. Fourth of July Lunch Box Tart You’ll typically be able to find seasonal versions of the Lunch Box tart at different times of the year, and in my experience, they are usually softer and don’t hold together as well. That can be a good thing if you like a softer cookie! But this patriotic lunch box tart did fall apart a bit easier. Fourth of July Lunch Box Tart Aside from the texture difference, I really loved the cherry filling. It tasted very appropriate for the holiday and I’d probably get it again. It was also very cute! But again, the fondant was not my favorite. Cherry filling But, if you’re looking for a cute treat to celebrate the holiday and are a fan of cherries — this might be worth a try! Nosh or Not Jump into Woody’s Lunch Box for lunch or dinner if… You want to enjoy a fun, Pixar-themed meal. The theming here is adorable! There are details everywhere and you really will feel immersed in the land. You have picky eaters. The food here is not anything crazy — unless you think swapping tortilla chips for potato barrels is bizarre. For the most part, the food is simple enough to please a variety of tastes. You are in a hurry. This place gets busy, so you’ll have to plan ahead and mobile order if you’re hoping for a quick meal. But, if you do, this is a great option for a fast stop for food. Keep strolling down Toy Story Land if… You want a more relaxed experience. As mentioned, this spot is all outdoors — so it can get HOT. Also, it can be a challenge to find a table when it’s busy. You want a table-service meal. Roundup Rodeo BBBQ is full of just a fun theming but is a little bit nicer of an experience. You get a server and the food is all-you-care-to-enjoy. You don’t want such an immersive experience. If you’re hoping mealtime can be a little bit of a break from all of the Disney theming and crowds, this is not the spot for you. Overall Overall, the food at Woody’s Lunch Box is pretty simple, but it is satisfying for the most part. While you won’t find anything super unique here, the food is rather tasty, and you can find some fun seasonal treats for special occasions as well. Full Spread As for the experience, it can be a bit hectic. This spot is popular, and it can be a challenge to find a seat. Also, it’s all outdoors, so you won’t find any air conditioning at the location. If you’re just stopping for a quick meal and don’t mind the heat, however, the food and theming are worth the stop.

Topolino’s Terrace is one of our favorite restaurants at Disney World! View from Topolino’s Terrace Topolino’s Terrace offers some spectacular views from its rooftop location atop Disney’s Riviera Resort — and it offers some spectacular eats, too. The restaurant’s design is inspired by cliffside restaurants in France and Italy. The stunning light fixtures make it feel pretty opulent. The gorgeous dining room at Topolino’s The eats here are elevated, as well. The menu here tends to change seasonally, and in the past we have enjoyed dishes including Herb Fettuccine with cockles, mussels, squid, vino blanco, lemon, and pesto Genovese, Rigatoni with a braised chicken sugo, dandelion greens, and Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a starter favorite of ours — Escargot en Coquilles. Escargot at Topolino’s Terrace So, since this is one of Disney World’s fanciest restaurants, you might be wondering — does it have a dress code? The answer to that question is yes and no. During breakfast, Topolino’s Terrace is the location of a character breakfast, and there is no dress code for that meal. Hi, Minnie! But in the evenings, Topolino’s transforms into a Disney Signature Dining Experience, and there is a dress code in place. Here’s what Disney has to say about it: During dinner, this restaurant is a Disney Signature Dining experience offering fine dining with a distinctly magical flair. Guests are expected to dress accordingly in attire that respects the restaurant’s sophisticated and upscale aesthetic. Clothing should be clean, neat and in good condition. Please no swimwear. Tramonto Cocktail We recommend a visit to Topolino’s Terrace during your next Disney World vacation, even if you do have to dress up a bit! Keep following DFB for more tips and advice on planning your next trip! Here’s a full review of dinner at Topolino’s Terrace!

Well, Disney has dropped a LOT of details about the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Chef Daisy at the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival We finally have the full menus for every food booth, as well as a first look at some of this year’s new festival merchandise. We even learned about what foods will be part of the cheese crawl this year. But some things were notably MISSING from Disney’s latest announcements. Specifically, 5 food booths that we’ve seen at the festival previously appear to NOT be on Disney’s list of returning booths this year! Yep, 5 food booths are now missing from this year’s lineup. First, Hops and Barley will not be returning this year. As its name suggests, this booth features beer, but there have been some solid food items here in the past, too, like the Freshly Baked Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing and Hot Beef Sandwich with horseradish cream and pickled vegetables. Freshly Baked Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing 2022 Hops & Barley However, a new booth called Flavors of America has a somewhat similar menu. Here’s the menu for Flavors of America: Food: Italian Hot Beef Sandwich with Shaved Beef, Spicy Giardiniera and Au Jus on a French Roll (NEW) Cioppino: Seafood Stew with Saffron-infused Tomato-Fennel Broth and Sourdough Crostini (NEW) Chilaquiles: Corn Tortilla Chips tossed in Salsa Verde with Ranchero Chicken, Queso Fresco, Cilantro-Lime Crema and a Soft-Poached Egg* (NEW) Freshly Baked Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing Beverages: Rogue Dreamland American Lager, Ashland, OR Goose Island Beer Co. Neon Beer Hug, Chicago, IL Left Hand Brewing Sawtooth Amber Ale, Longmont, CO So not all hope is lost on getting items with the same type of feel — at least, to a certain extent. American Adventure Another booth missing from this year’s festival is Appleseed Orchard. This booth was usually tucked away in the Canada pavilion and offered up some autumn favorites like an Apple Crumble Tart, as well as ciders and beers. But it looks like this won’t be returning in 2023. Apple Crumble Tart Mac and Eats is also missing from this year’s food booth list. This one hurts because we really enjoyed some of the Mac & Cheese combos available here. Goodbye, Cowboy Macaroni & Cheese with Smoked Pork Belly, Brisket Burnt Ends, Pickled Peppers, and Onion Straws. Mac and Eats spread It looks like Swanky Saucy Swine also won’t be making an appearance this year. This was a great booth for meat eaters and spice lovers, and some of the eats were quite adventurous but you’ll have to look elsewhere for those more unique treats this year. Pimento cheese and pork rinds Finally, Earth Eats is also missing from this year’s food booth list. This booth usually focused on plant-based options with Impossible ingredients. It seems some Impossible ingredients will still be featured at the festival though, just spread out in other booths. Impossible Meatball from Earth Eats And there’s more good news — we’re getting some NEW booths this year to replace the ones we lost. We previously mentioned the Flavors of America booth, which will be new this year. But we’re also getting Char & Chop, Wine & Wedge, Bubbles & Brine, and Swirled Showcase. Click here to see ALL of the booths and menu items confirmed for the 2023 Festival! The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival runs from July 27th through November 18th.

Well, we’ve got some BIG news about this year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. The Food & Wine Festival 2023 We’ve shared a first look at some of the merchandise that will be available. We also previously got the schedule for the Eat to the Beat concert series — and dining packages for that have already gone on sale, but the most IMPORTANT part of the festival is the food, and we’ve got some BIG news about that, too. We’re getting FIVE NEW food booths this year. The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival starts on July 27th and runs through November 18th, but some of these new booths won’t open with the festival so that’s something to keep in mind. Specifically, four of these new booths will actually open in the FALL. Those four are actually being added to celebrate the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary. 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival So what are these 4 new booths? Well, here’s the list: 1 — Char & Chop (we’re thinking there might be some meaty dishes here?) 2 — Wine & Wedge (wine and salad perhaps?) This booth actually has some items that qualify for the cheese crawl — Emile’s Fromage Montage — so we do know it’ll feature: Assorted Artisanal Cheeses and Accoutrements Boursin Fig and Balsamic Soufflé with Fig Tapenade, and Southern Pimento Cheese with Bread and Butter Pickled Vegetables and Grilled Bread 3 — Bubbles & Brine (champagne bar with food maybe?) 4 — Swirled Showcase Those are the 4 new booths that won’t be open until the fall. Disney has not yet released full menus for these specific booths, but we’ll let you know more about them when we get that info. Food and Wine 2023 But there’s one more to talk about. There is also a new booth called Flavors of America. Here’s the menu for that booth: Food: Italian Hot Beef Sandwich with Shaved Beef, Spicy Giardiniera and Au Jus on a French Roll (NEW) Cioppino: Seafood Stew with Saffron-infused Tomato-Fennel Broth and Sourdough Crostini (NEW) Chilaquiles: Corn Tortilla Chips tossed in Salsa Verde with Ranchero Chicken, Queso Fresco, Cilantro-Lime Crema and a Soft-Poached Egg* (NEW) Freshly Baked Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing Beverages: Rogue Dreamland American Lager, Ashland, OR Goose Island Beer Co. Neon Beer Hug, Chicago, IL Left Hand Brewing Sawtooth Amber Ale, Longmont, CO This menu appears to be somewhat similar to what we saw the Hops & Barley booth offer last year.
