A popular Disney World restaurant is CLOSING soon, and that might mean you need to change dining plans for your upcoming vacation. Trail’s End Restaurant Disney World will occasionally close restaurants for refurbishment or play around with menu changes, but sometimes they completely overhaul existing dining locations to create something entirely new (like when The Wave…of American Flavors transformed into Steakhouse 71!). That’s happening soon at Trail’s End Restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Let’s go through all the details about this closure and transformation, and then we’ll give you some great options for where to eat while Trail’s End is unavailable! What’s Happening at Trail’s End? Trail’s End Restaurant has long been a favorite among die-hard Disney fans who know where to find good food at moderate prices — even on Disney property. Currently, Trail’s End serves family-style skillets for breakfast and dinner (as opposed to a buffet, which was traditionally the meal option here). They also serve a not-so-little something called the Covered Wagon Sundae. Breakfast at Trail’s End in 2021 This table service restaurant at Fort Wilderness is going to close for refurbishment this coming spring (in 2023), and when it reopens, it won’t be the same experience you remember. Disney hasn’t announced a specific closing date for Trail’s End, but the restaurant is still showing hours through mid-April as of writing (that’s as far as Disney’s calendar goes currently, but note that this could change once Disney finalizes plans for the closure). Trails End | 2021 Trail’s End will reopen later this year as “a marketplace concept with expanded quick service options,” which is very different from the table service, family-style meal that is currently served. The table service option will no longer be offered upon the restaurant’s reopening. So if you’re a fan of Trail’s End in its current state, you should make reservations ASAP to dine there before the closure this coming spring. Learn more about Trail’s End Restaurant here. Where You Should Eat Instead So while Trail’s End is closed and even once it reopens as a quick-service marketplace concept, you might need a replacement for a sit-down meal. The only other table service restaurant at Fort Wilderness is the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, which is a fan-favorite dinner-and-a-show combination located at Pioneer Hall. Hoop-Dee-Doo Aside from the Musical Revue, you’ll only find food trucks and counter service options at this resort. So if you’re not interested in a lively show for your dinner, where should you go? Luckily, there are a few great options for table service dining not too far away at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Let’s take a look! Artist Point Artist Point, previously a Signature Restaurant, now hosts a Disney princess character meal: Storybook Dining with Snow White! Guests enjoy a prix-fixe meal and can meet Snow White, Dopey, and Grumpy, who stop by throughout the dinner. The Evil Queen is even present for a unique photo opportunity as well. Dining Room The food here is pretty classic American cuisine, with options like a shrimp cocktail, beef stroganoff, roasted chicken, and various pastries for dessert. There aren’t super unique dishes here, so even picky eaters will be able to find something for them on the menu. Appetizers Some of our favorite dishes on the menu include Royal Prime Rib Roast, “A Stroll through Nature,” and the Magic Mirror Slow-braised Veal Shank. Royal Prime Rib Roast Dinner is served from 4PM to 9PM, and the meals cost $65 per adult and $39 per child. It’s definitely a pricier option, but that cost is about on par with most Disney World character meals. Click here to read our most recent review of Artist Point. Whispering Canyon Café Whispering Canyon Café may have a peaceful-sounding name, but don’t be fooled. Lots of laughs and hijinks among the wait staff are served up alongside barbecue, roasted chicken, and other western-inspired specialties, including hearty All-You-Care-to-Enjoy Skillets. Whispering Canyon Cafe All the shenanigans and high-energy antics are definitely our favorite parts about dining at this restaurant, but it might not be ideal if you’re traveling with a group of introverts. Our “to go” box The food is great here as well, with those all-you-can-eat skillets being an ideal choice if you come hungry. There are barbecue options like brisket, pulled pork, and pork belly, but there’s also a plant-based skillet for anyone on a vegan diet. You can also find steak, salmon, and (one of our personal favorite options) “burnt ends” nachos on the menu. Burnt Ends Nachos and Allergy-friendly cornbread at Whispering Canyon Cafe Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served at the Café, with breakfast from 7:30AM to 11:25AM, lunch from 11:30AM to 2PM, and dinner from 5PM to 10PM. Yep, our mouths are watering. Skillets at breakfast and lunch cost $26 per person, and for dinner, they’re $38. A la carte entrées range in price from $12 to $22 for breakfast and lunch and $22 to $36 for dinner if you decide to skip those skillets. Read our recent review of Whispering Canyon Café here. Don’t forget that you’ll need to make reservations if you want to dine at Artist Point or Whispering Canyon Café (which is the case at all table service restaurants in Disney World). You can begin making those reservations 60 days before you plan to dine at either restaurant. How To Get There So now you know a few great options for table service dining that are lose to Fort Wilderness, but how exactly do you GET to those restaurants? Don’t worry — we can help you out. There are a few different options for getting between Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge. The Bus There are a few different bus lines at Fort Wilderness, and one of these runs directly between the two resorts. The yellow line bus connects Fort Wilderness to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Resort Settlement Bus Stop You can hop on this bus to go directly between the resorts, without having to stop at one of the theme parks to switch buses. Note that you could also take a bus to any of the four Disney World theme parks and, from that park’s bus stop, catch another bus from the park to Wilderness Lodge. The Boat If you’d prefer a scenic route, you can head to the Marina and catch a boat from Fort Wilderness to Magic Kingdom. Boat to Magic Kingdom From there, you can hop on a different boat to go from Magic Kingdom to Wilderness Lodge. A car The easiest way to get between Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge is to drive yourself (if you brought your own car, of course). If you didn’t bring a car and would still prefer to drive, you can always use a rideshare service, like Lyft or Uber.

There’s a lot you can do in Disney World during the day, but sometimes you can accomplish even MORE by going to one of the after-hours events. H2O Glow Nights at Typhoon Lagoon | 2018 By purchasing a ticket to these events, you can stay late in the parks and ride your favorite attractions with shorter wait times. There are often special snacks and treats included in the event ticket, and sometimes unique characters stop by to say hello as well. Now, Disney has announced that one after-hours event will return to Disney World this year! Disney just shared that H2O Glow Nights are RETURNING to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park in 2023! This late-night event was canceled in 2020, but it returned in the summer of 2022 and will now take place this coming summer as well.

Banana Fosters Sundae Disney H2O Glow Nights will take place on certain nights between May 20th, 2023, and September 2nd, 2023.

It’s about time we revisited this popular Deluxe Resort — we’re back again with another room tour, this time at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort One of the three Monorail resorts, along with the Grand Floridian and the Contemporary Resort, the Polynesian is a favorite for its close proximity to Magic Kingdom as well as its strong theming. When you’re at the Polynesian resort, you feel like you’re on a tropical getaway! The Polynesian has plenty of amenities to keep you and your family engaged when you’re not in the parks. From gorgeous pools … Lava Pool … to tasty dining … ‘OHANA NOODLES! … there’s plenty to offer. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is also one of the only places where you can find DOLE Whip outside of the parks! We love Pineapple Lanai! You might have noticed a fair amount of construction going on around both the Polynesian and Grand Floridian resorts. Part of this overhaul includes new room theming, and the rooms at the Polynesian have received a re-design inspired by Moana! We can’t wait to show you what the new rooms look like, so keep reading to check them out. Our room had an atmosphere that blended a Polynesian theme with modern design. The standard rooms come with either a king bed and day bed or two queen beds and a day bed, so they sleep up to five people. As you step inside you can see the bathroom is on your left and closet on your right before it opens up to the main part of the room. Entry way Here you can see the entirety of the main sleeping area. The color palette is based around this calming tan shade that’s complimented by pops of teal and orange. We have to say, this room was not short on storage! Good amount of space Besides the main dresser below the TV, there is a generous three-door closet next to this coffee bar. Coffee bar and closet Inside are some complimentary hangers, spare bedding, a safe, and even a full-length mirror! Perfect for checking out your look The coffee bar is supplied with a Keurig and all you need for a nice cup of joe in the morning. Fully stocked! Below is a mini-fridge, perfect for storing your dinner leftovers for a midnight snack. Mini-fridge! In between the beds is a nightstand with plugs for your chargers and the brand-new Hey Disney digital assistant! There’s also even more storage underneath. Hey Disney! Each bed also has its own small side table as well as a bench for lounging or holding luggage. Which bed are you claiming? For other seating options, there’s an arm chair and the couch that also serves as a day bed. You can also see the massive windows perfect for letting in the Florida sunshine! (Although there are also blackout curtains for those who’d prefer to sleep in.) Seating area The couch has adorable Moana-inspired cushions, plus it comes with a handy tag showing instructions on how to convert it into a bed. Comfy for lounging This is what it looks like when it’s in bed-mode! Time to sleep! Over in the bathroom, you have plenty of room to get ready for a full day in the parks. There are two sinks, a large shower, and a separate toilet room. Double sinks! This is an excellent size for a hotel shower, plus it has two shower heads! Check out the Moana art on the wall too. Check out that shower! The shower is fully stocked … We can almost smell it … and even more H2O products can be found on the counter. These are coming home with us. There are plenty of Moana touches across the room. From this wallpaper inspired by Maui’s tattoos … Maui, hero to all! … to this lampshade … I am Moanaaaaa! … to the adorable Heihei above the coffee station, there are plenty of details throughout this room that we enjoyed searching for. Keep an eye on him! We don’t want to spoil all of the surprises, so be sure to look for all of the references the next time you visit the Polynesian Resort! Prices for these rooms do vary depending on the dates, but with it being a Deluxe Resort you will be paying more than most other Disney hotels. We hope you enjoyed this in-depth look at this new room, and be sure to stay tuned for even MORE resort room tours! Check out what the rooms over at the Grand Floridian look like in this room tour!

Looking for a magical spring or summer getaway in 2023? Time to Take to the Skies We’re constantly looking at the average costs to fly to Orlando so you know how to budget for our upcoming trips. And we’ve seen a number of new nonstop routes (and cheap flights!) announced for the Orlando Airport. But now we’ve got another update about an airline deal that could help you get to Orlando for CHEAP. Breeze Airways could get you to Orlando for just $39 — yes, we’re serious! According to the Orlando Business Journal, Breeze Airways has introduced a NEW flight for the summer that’ll connect Orlando to Providence, Rhode Island. The flights will start on July 14th, 2023 (according to USA Today), and are on sale for just $39 one-way. ©BreezeAirways The flight costs can vary though so be sure to look at the dates and see what works best with your budget. ©Breeze Airways You’ll want to hurry though because these low prices won’t last forever. These super low prices are only around as part of the airline’s introductory campaign, through September 5th, 2023! The flights will be available on Mondays through Wednesdays, and Fridays and Saturdays. Breeze Airways’ founder and CEO shared, “We always look for routes that people are traveling today but can’t get there nonstop. Orlando residents can now get to Providence twice as fast, for about half the price.” This could be your view SOON. The CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority — Kevin Thibault — shared, “We are pleased to see the growth of Breeze Airways and its inclusion of Orlando International in its expansion plans…Today’s announcement of service to Providence, Rhode Island, provides Central Florida residents and businesses with another economical option for travel to one of the busiest regions of the country.” The magic is calling!

Grab those western hats and bandanas, a NEW rodeo is coming to Disney World — well, a rodeo-themed restaurant that is! ©Disney Roundup Rodeo BBQ will officially open on March 23rd, 2023 in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The NEW table service restaurant will serve BBQ eats family-style in Toy Story Land. We’ve already gotten some big updates about this place like the FULL menus and a peek inside the themed space, but now we have even MORE news. Disney has finally revealed just how much it will COST to eat at Roundup Rodeo BBQ. The pricing will be $45 for adults, and $25 for kids (kids are ages 3 to 9). The meals cost the same for lunch or dinner. ©Disney | Roundup Rodeo BBQ Again, remember that the food here is served family-style so that one price will get you a variety of goodies including Prospector’s Homemade Cheddar Biscuits served with sweet pepper jelly, salads for the table to enjoy, a platter of house-smoked meats (including ribs, brisket, sausage, and BBQ chicken) or a plant-based offering (upon request) that includes cauliflower, “bratwurst,” and “rib chop.” ©Disney Plus, your table will get to pick 4 sides to share. You can pick from things like loaded potato barrels, fried pickles, mac & cheese, baked beans, corn on the cob, and more. And you’ll be able to end the meal with desserts. You’ll be able to choose from a selection for the table. Options will include Cupcake à la Forky, a lemon and blueberry cheesecake, Goat’s apple pie, and more. Sweet treats ©Disney So it is a decent amount of food options for one price. But again, remember it’ll all be served family-style, so there’s no a la carte ordering here (except that there will be craft cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages you’ll be able to order and pay for). ©Disney In terms of the restaurant as a whole, it’ll transport guests to a rodeo arena created by Andy. There are western toys and other items to create a unique atmosphere.

Aaaah, Disney POPCORN. Is any day in a Disney park complete without this golden goodie? Sure, you can pop some up at home anytime. But there is just something about strolling down Main Street with a buttery batch of popcorn that makes it a quintessential Disney snack experience. Disney Popcorn The thing about popcorn (obviously ) is that you have to carry it around with you. And the Disney Parks in the U.S.A. and around the world in destinations like Tokyo Disneyland (where popcorn and popcorn buckets have a following all their own) have made an absolute artform of Disney Popcorn Buckets, transforming them from simple food vessels into highly popular collectibles! Today we’re POPPING around to various Disney destinations to bring you the BEST Disney Popcorn Buckets OF ALL TIME. Of course, you can snag your Popcorn by the box. Popcorn in Mary Blair Popcorn Box Or pick up a standard Refillable Popcorn Bucket. (In Disney World, you can grab those refills at $2.25 a pop for length of stay!) 100th Anniversary Disneyland Popcorn Bucket But today we’re talking about PREMIUM Popcorn Buckets in all sorts of shapes and sizes. So maybe take a moment to grab your favorite popcorn bucket, fill ‘er up, then POP back over and join us on a stroll down Disney Popcorn Bucket Lane! Figment Popcorn Bucket The Figment Popcorn Bucket is the stuff of LEGEND. Figment Popcorn Bucket No one was prepared for the phenomenon of the Figment Popcorn Bucket when it made its debut at the 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Arts. We’re talking OVER SIX HOUR wait times. Buckets being sold for unreal prices on ebay. “Bad Artwork Sketch” tributes originally created in jest ultimately raising money for charity. Hidden secrets in the Bucket revealed only in the correct lighting. This year, Figment returned to the 2023 Festival of the Arts WITHOUT the wait (thanks to use of Mobile Order via the My Disney Experience app) at his VERY OWN FOOD BOOTH: Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Odyssey: Art, Food, and Little Sparks of Magic. 2023 Figment Popcorn Bucket We can only hope that Figment returns again for the EPCOT Festival of the Arts next year! (Hmmm… if the wait times were over six hours just for the Figment Bucket, what will wait times look like when Figment fans can meet him when he arrives in EPCOT later this year??) Click HERE to read the Tale of the Figment Popcorn Bucket R2-D2 Popcorn Bucket But do you know who rivaled Figment for EPIC wait times? Everyone’s favorite droid! When the R2-D2 Popcorn Bucket beeped and booped his way in Tokyo Disneyland, multiple-hour wait times were likewise reported. But that’s not the only time he rolled onto the scene… R2D2 Popcorn Bucket A long time ago… before Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge was constructed in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney World hosted Star Wars Weekends. (Raise your hand if you remember Jedi Mickey, Leia Minnie, Darth Goofy, and Stormtrooper Donald!) And the R2-D2 Popcorn Bucket was just one of the available Star Wars souvenirs and sippers for the beloved event. (Oh, boy… thinking about all this not only makes me nostalgic for Star Wars Weekends, but also for THOSE PRICES!! R2 was a STEAL!) Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket Indeed, Star Wars Popcorn Buckets have come in many forms over the years, and it’s difficult to choose just one to spotlight. Popcorn Buckets have captured iconic characters and ships including — but not limited to — Darth Vader, Mouse Droids, Han Solo in Carbonite, and TIE Fighters. But perhaps none captured the hearts of Popcorn Bucket collectors quite so much as the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy… the Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket! Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket Not only did the Millennium Falcon make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs… it also carries popcorn. And LIGHTS UP. Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket It originally debuted in Disneyland, then arrived in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And though we haven’t seen the Millennium Falcon in a while, keep your eyes peeled, because we have seen it come and go in Hollywood Studios, specifically. P.S. I can’t mention the Han Solo in Carbonite Bucket and not show it to you, soooo…. Han Solo in Carbonite Popcorn Bucket …there you go. Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Mickey Balloon Popcorn Buckets A Mickey Balloon that won’t ultimately deflate or pop? It’s a dream… MICKEY BALLOONS!!! And that dream has become a reality, thanks to the Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket! Mickey and Minnie Balloon Popcorn Buckets While the Balloon Buckets have had a few iterations over the years (from Mickey Pumpkin Balloon Buckets to Steamboat Willie Balloon Buckets), a certain Mickey Balloon Bucket was released exclusively in Magic Kingdom for the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Walt Disney World (which ends on March 31, 2023). 50th Anniversary Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket Or perhaps I should say BUCKETS? Because this beauty came in FOUR bright and beautiful colors: the vivid blue pictured above was joined by green, pink, and sunny yellow, sending collectors to Popcorn Carts in all corners of Magic Kingdom to grab them all! All FOUR Mickey Balloon Popcorn Buckets More recently, a Rainbow Mickey Balloon Bucket arrived in Magic Kingdom. Rainbow Mickey Balloon Premium Popcorn Bucket And Disneyland just debuted its own bright and shiny version for the Disney 100 Years of Wonder Anniversary celebration! 100th Anniversary Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket Which one is YOUR favorite?

When Toy Story Land opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2018, the Alien Popcorn Bucket landed along with it! Alien Popcorn Bucket at Disney World Just prior to his arrival in Hollywood Studios, he was available as an Annual Passholder exclusive in Disneyland. The beloved bucket tribute to the Little Green Men met with such success that a special version showed up for the Holiday Season, complete with a Santa Hat! (Fun fact: the Santa Alien Bucket was previously available in Tokyo Disneyland well before his arrival in Hollywood Studios.) Santa Alien Popcorn Bucket He arrived again the following year in Buffalo Plaid Christmas jammies! Fill ‘er up! No matter the outfit, we’re happy whenever the Little Green Alien Popcorn Bucket lands here on earth again! Cinderella Carriage Popcorn Bucket The Popcorn Buckets we’ve discussed so far have many things in common: they’re fun, whimsical, and wonderfully detailed. But it’s rare that we’ve used the word “lovely” to describe a Disney Popcorn Bucket… until the Cinderella Carriage Popcorn Bucket made it’s arrival. Cinderella’s carriage popcorn bucket Originally released in Disney World in tandem with the live-action Cinderella film in 2015, the former-pumpkin-turned-grand-coach-turned-popcorn-bucket arrived in Disneyland in 2021. Golden hair and golden popcorn It’s a Popcorn Bucket fit for a Princess, indeed! Stitch Popcorn Bucket Do you love Stitch? Then odds are good you’ll ADORE the Stitch Popcorn Bucket that was available Tokyo Disneyland! Here, you see him “munching” on some Scrump Dumplings instead of popcorn.

Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket “Well, well, well… what have we here?” Why, it’s the Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket! Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket This Oogie Boogie Bucket has a secret… he GLOWS in the DARK! Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket He originally took Disneyland at Halloween Time by storm before making appearances at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary-Halloween Party in Disney World. A newer Bucket featuring this baddie — complete with with glowing eyes — arrived in Magic Kingdom in 2019. Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket And let’s face it… Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket … it’s a lot easier to love Oogie Boogie when he’s filled with POPCORN instead of… you know, BUGS. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Popcorn Bucket Seven Dwarfs Mine Train opened in Magic Kingdom in May 2014. (Oh, my goodness! This “new” ride is now almost 10 years old… times flies when you’re having fun in Magic Kingdom, doesn’t it?). Seven Dwarfs Mine Train The following year, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Popcorn Bucket hit the scene. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Popcorn Bucket Like some of the other buckets you’ve already seen here, this one was complete with a special effect, too. Just like the cars on the Magic Kingdom coaster… Swinging Mine Train Bucket … it swings! And, if you had more than one Bucket, the cars could attach to form a Popcorn Bucket train! Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride Popcorn Bucket While the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Popcorn Bucket came out in tribute to a then-new attraction, a Popcorn Bucket that arrived much more recently pays tribute to a true classic: Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket Though guests can still take a wild ride in Disneyland park, the attraction shut down in Disney World and was transformed into what is now The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Portrait of Mr. Toad handing over the deed in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh And it seems that fact has only increased Mr. Toad’s popularity, as he has been given tributes in everything from the Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket (which has still been spotted in Magic Kingdom as recently as February 2023) Toad Burger in Disney World …to Dome Cakes and Brat Burgers! Take a wild ride with the Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket HERE! “it’s a small world” Popcorn Bucket The Happiest Cruise That Ever Sailed is another attraction that has reached its own Popcorn Bucket status. And, oh, what we would give for the “it’s a small world” Popcorn Bucket from Tokyo Disneyland to set sail to Disneyland Resort and Disney World, too! Just look at this beautiful bucket… @tokyodisneylorien on Instagram With many thanks to our friend @tokyodisneylorien on Instagram, we can at least enjoy the photo for now! (We told you Tokyo Disneyland was good at this!!) See The Happiest-Ever Popcorn Bucket HERE! Main Street Electrical Parade Elliot Dragon Popcorn Bucket “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Disneyland proudly presents” the Elliot Dragon Popcorn Bucket! Elliot Dragon Popcorn Bucket Elliot made his way to Disneyland when the Main Street Electrical Parade made a limited-time return to Disneyland park, celebrating 50 YEARS of the beloved nighttime parade.

Let’s take a look at some of the new offerings that will be available to guests starting this spring. Grand Floridian Narcoossee’s View While Narcoossee’s Bisque has been a fan-favorite on the menu for years, it will return with an “enhanced tableside presentation.” ©Disney Speaking of starters, the Beef and Ricotta Tortelloni will debut as an appetizer, featuring brown butter, parsnip puree, and sultana raisins. ©Disney Charcuterie, anyone? The Ocean-Inspired Charcuterie Board will feature ahi tuna pastrami, charred octopus, and house-made sausage from the sea. According to Disney, this plate is “a true collaboration, with each component representing the style of a different chef on the Narcoossee’s team.” ©Disney As far as main courses go, we can expect the Blackened Redfish, Roasted Vegetable Paella, Dry-Aged Pork Ribeye Chop, Plancha-seared Scallops, Parisian Gnocchi, and the classic Surf and Turf — to name a few!

Deciding where to eat on your Disney World trip might be one of the toughest decisions you’ll make! We love Disney food! Are you sticking with quick-service meals, or carving out some time for table-service dining? What about booking a character meal? If you’re planning your next trip, we have news about a dining change that might help you decide! Topolino’s Terrace is one of Disney World’s newer restaurants, and it has quickly become a DFB favorite! Located in Disney’s Riviera Resort, you can enjoy exciting character meals at breakfast along with delicious dinner entrees and drinks too. Topolino’s has been one of our favorite character breakfasts since it opened, featuring Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy and a prix fixe menu. It’s Mickey at Topolino’s Terrace! Not only do the characters make this breakfast meal one of our favorites, but we also had a pretty sweet dining hack for this spot. At breakfast, you could order your entree choice — but you could also order additional entrees as sides so you could try more than one. Think of it like a combo of prix fixe and all you care to enjoy, but at breakfast only. Dining room at Topolino’s Terrace Unfortunately, that is no longer an option at Topolino’s Terrace. Cast Members at the restaurant confirmed that you can’t order additional entrees as sides anymore. They also confirmed that the prices would NOT be changing, but that they are “maybe” making the entrees larger to compensate for this change — we haven’t seen anything just yet. Quiche and Pastries Paint Can at Topolino’s Terrace Topolino’s Terrace is still a great choice for a character breakfast at Disney World. Since it’s at Riviera Resort, it’s located along the Skyliner route with easy access to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and multiple resorts on property. We’ve got reviews of all the character meals in Disney World to help you decide, and you can check them out below.

Some Disney treats, like Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, Mickey-shaped Pretzels, and even the famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) Turkey Legs, can be found at Disney parks on both coasts. But today we’re dedicating this post to help you track down the best DISNEYLAND treats! Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland For the purposes of this list, these are either snacks that you can only find in Disneyland Resort (at Disneyland park or Disney California Adventure) or snacks that Disneyland simply does them better than anywhere else. Without further ado… THIS is our list of the top snacks in Disneyland Resort for 2023! And we’re starting with the CLASSICS… Disneyland Classics Mickey-Shaped Beignets True, Disney World has Mickey-shaped Beignets these days, too. But long before the snack had EARS at Disney World’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter, Mickey-shaped Beignets had their original home at Disneyland’s Mint Julep Bar! Mickey-shaped Beignets You can’t go wrong with the classic golden-fried Beignet generously dusted with powdered sugar. But seasonal offerings such as fall’s Pumpkin Spice Beignets and surprises like Maple Beignets with Maple-Bacon Dipping Sauce are more often than not HUGE hits as well! Mint Julep Bar We must note, of course, that the Mint Julep Bar (which is tucked into French Market Restaurant) is currently closed to accommodate the transformation of the French Market Restaurant into the NEW Tiana’s Palace in New Orleans Square! But Disney has already alerted Mickey Beignet lovers that the Mint Julep Bar will open once again when Tiana’s Palace opens later this year! AND there is a place where you can get the beloved Mickey Beignets in the meantime… Royal Street Veranda … it’s the Royal Street Veranda! P.S. You can get a Mint Julep at the Veranda, too! Find out more about the Mint Julep Bar’s NEW home — Tiana’s Palace — HERE! Churros Disneyland has elevated the Churro into an art form. First and foremost, even the classic Churro (a fried dough stick coated in cinnamon and sugar) is just BETTER in Disneyland. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside… the snack is so popular on its own that there are SEVERAL carts in both Disneyland AND Disney California Adventure dedicated to Churros! Disneyland Churro But the Churro in Disneyland Resort also reaches a whole new level with frequent flavor varieties. Disney100 Churro The ever-changing examples include the PURPLE Disney 100Churro you see above (which is currently available as part of the 100th Anniversary Celebration of The Walt Disney Company). It’s rolled in cherry sugar served with white icing and topped with purple and silver pearls. Others include — but are by NO MEANS limited to — the Peach Cobbler Churro, and the Sleeping Beauty Churros. Sleeping Beauty Churros (These pink-and-blue Churros made their debut in honor of the debut of the Magic Happens Parade, so perhaps we’ll see them again when the parade returns on February 24th!) Check out MORE of our favorite Disneyland Churros from over the years HERE! Monte Cristo Sandwich We’re already back at Disneyland’s New Orleans Square to celebrate the can’t miss Monte Cristo Sandwich at Café Orleans! We’re talking about a sliced turkey, ham and Swiss cheese sandwich, which sounds pretty basic… until, that is, you consider that it’s BATTERED and FRIED, then sprinkled with powdered sugar and served up with seasonal preserves! Monte Cristo Sandwich It’s the BEST of sweet-meets-savory, and that’s why it always makes its way onto on AJ’s list of FAVORITE FOODS in Disneyland. That said, the Monte Cristo isn’t quite complete without… Pommes Frites Previously, guests could order the Pommes Frites on their own as an appetizer at Cafe Orleans. These days, the delectable parmesan-garlic fries are INCLUDED as a side option with the beloved Monte Cristo, complete with the spicy Cajun Remoulade for dipping! Pommes Frites as a side with the Monte Cristo at Cafe Orleans Of course, you could choose a “Petit Salad” as your side instead, but… WHY?? We’ll take care of that “tough” decision for you right now. Get the Pommes Frites for some salty, cheesy, garlicky perfection! This video from our DFB YouTube Channel is an oldie, but a goodie, and you can see more of why Cafe Orleans is a Disneyland MUST-Do! Click HERE to check out the iconic Monte Cristo and Pommes Frites COMBO! Corn Dog Ok, what’s so special about the Disneyland Corn Dogs? I mean, you can grab this golden fried goodie at nearly every amusement park, state fair, or carnival around the country, right? Heck, you can even find ’em in your grocery store’s freezer aisle these days. But are they freshly HAND-DIPPED? Hand-Dipped Corn Dog Nope. And therein lies the difference. The process lends the perfect crunch to the thick and tasty layer of corn batter surrounding the dog, and it can’t be beat. Its homes are the Little Red Wagon on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland and Corn Dog Castle in Disney California Adventure. It’s doesn’t matter where you get one. Just GET ONE. Of course, if you DO just so happen to find yourself at Corn Dog Castle, you should save some extra room for our next treat… Cheddar Cheese Stick Corn Dog Castle also boasts the Cheddar Cheese Stick! And it is NO JOKE, my friends… Cheddar Cheese Stick Instead of a hot dog tucked into that same slightly sweet corn batter mentioned above, you’ve got ooey, gooey cheddar CHEESE… and LOTS of it! Cheddar Cheese Stick It’s basically grilled cheese on a stick. What’s not to love? Check out ALL THE CHEDDAR here! Matterhorn Macaroon Take oodles of coconut and butter, pile it high to resemble a certain Disneyland mountain and bake until golden, dip it in white chocolate to create “snow,” and you’ve got yourself a Matterhorn Macaroon! Matterhorn Macaroon This confection is a nod to the Matterhorn Bobsleds AND a must-try for my fellow coconut lovers! Find it these days at Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe. (And if you can’t wait that long, try your hand at this Matterhorn Macaroon recipe!) Make a Matterhorn Macaroon at HOME! DOLE Whip Aaah… DOLE Whip. (You had to know this was coming, didn’t you?) Now THIS is one iconic snack that’s done equally well on BOTH coasts. In fact, DOLE Whip debuted in Disney World before it arrived at Disneyland ‘s Tiki Juice Bar in 1986. (Though we did give the edge to Disneyland when they used to serve the pineapple soft-serve treat with a teeny little umbrella and a cherry on top!) Dole Whip Float at Disneyland’s Tiki Juice Bar BACK IN THE DAY! But even though this twist tastes just as good whether you find yourself in Magic Kingdom or Disneyland, this cool quintessential Adventureland treat simply HAS to go on our list of Disneyland’s BEST snacks, and we think you’ll agree! Grab yours in a cup or as a Float with pineapple juice — you can’t go wrong either way. Click here to learn LITERALLY EVERYTHING You’ve Ever Wanted to Know about DOLE Whip in Disney! Bengal Barbecue Skewers My friends, I present to you… ASPARAGUS! Oh, wait… that’s not exactly what you were expecting? Well, what if I tell you I’m talking about asparagus wrapped in BACON and grilled to the perfect char? Bacon-wrapped Asparagus Safari Skewer The thing is, the Safari Skewer is just ONE of the awesome Skewers at The Bengal Barbecue! Bengal Barbecue A spicy Banyan Beef , Bengal Beef, Chieftain Chicken, Outback Vegetable, and Pork Belly Skewers make up the rest of the Skewer selection. Chieftan Chicken Skewer Pick one (or two, or three…) and ENJOY! BONUS: Don’t forget to grab a Tiger Tail while you’re there! New Favorites Now that we’ve chatted about those classics, we’re sharing snacks that are more recent to the Disneyland scene that have impressed enough to land on our list. A few are brand new, while some are simply newer than the classics above and have made their snacking mark over the years. Let’s dig in! Chili Cone Queso Steer yourself onto Cars Land in Disney California Adventure and make a pit stop at Cozy Cone 3 at Cozy Cone Motel. Cozy Cone Motel It’s here that you’ll grab yourself a Chili Cone Queso! Chili Cone Queso at Cozy Cone Beef Chili, Cheddar Cheese and Corn Chips are made PORTABLE by way of a beautiful golden Bread Cone! Find out what ALL the CONES at the Cozy Cone Motel are serving up HERE! Not So Little Chicken Sandwich Did you high-tail it to the movie theater to see Ant–Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? The you will especially appreciate the Not so Little Chicken Sandwich at Pym Test Kitchen in Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus! The Not So Little Chicken Sandwich at Pym Test Kitchen Then again, if you’re simply a fan of REALLY tasty FRIED CHICKEN sammies, you should make your way to the Test Kitchen, too. The savory sandwich is topped with Teriyaki and Red Chili Sauces for a little kick and Pickled Cabbage Slaw on a (teeny tiny) Brioche bun to deliver a little Ant-Man POV. Not so Little Chicken Sandwich at Pym Test Kitchen It’s served with crispy Potato Bites and altogether the entire meal is both flavorful and FUN! EXPLORE Avengers Campus with us HERE! Lemon Dole Whip Yes indeed, we mentioned DOLE Whips already in their original (and best known) pineapple form. But when Pixar Pier opened in Disney California Adventure, it brought Lemon DOLE Whip along with it! Pixar Pier Frosty Parfait Lemon DOLE Whip with Blue Raspberry Swirl This just-on-the-right-side of tart refresher can be found at Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats where it can be enjoyed in a cone or cup, “snow-capped” (topped with white chocolate) or not, or in a Pixar Pier Frosty Parfait Float (as pictured) with Blue Raspberry Swirl. (Grown-ups also have the option to try the Float with a splash of Blue Curaçao.) And if you like that idea, then get ready for a few more DOLE Whip creations… Loaded Whips Pineapple DOLE Whip remains the most popular flavor of the non-dairy* soft-serve treat. (*While the fruit flavors are non-dairy, flavors such as coconut and vanilla are not.) But The Tropical Hideaway delivered Loaded Whips to the Adventureland scene, featuring a variety of DOLE Whip flavor combos and fun toppings! Twisted Ambush “Loaded Whip” For example, the Twisted Ambush Loaded Whip swirls orange and pineapple DOLE Whip and places it on “exotic fruit” (mostly mandarin orange and pineapple) to deliver even more citrus flavor and punch. Crystallized hibiscus is sprinkled all over. And sticking out of all sides? Why, those are Pocky! (Not familiar with Pocky? Check it out here!) Strawberry DOLE Whip Sundae Most recently, the crowds came out to try the Strawberry DOLE Whip Sundae. New flavors pop up on the regular, and you can find our review of EVERY DOLE Whip creation we’ve tried by clicking here! Limited Time Treats Disney 100 Year of Wonder — 100th Anniversary Snacks The 100th Anniversary Celebration of The Walt Disney Company officially kicked off in Disneyland on January 27, 2023… and, of course, it brought plenty of NEW TREATS along with it! 100 Years of Wonder — Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Here are a few that you should get while the gettin’s good! Celebration Cake This is a reminder not only to you, but also to ourselves. We need to score an Advance Dining Reservation at Disneyland’s Blue Bayou Restaurant to try the Celebration Cake. Blue Bayou Restaurant Why? Because it’s a pecan brownie with chocolate truffle mousse, red berries, and milk chocolate mousse glazed with chocolate ganache and topped with a star. The Bayou It sounds like just the thing to enjoy while watching the boats from Pirates of the Caribbean sail on by in the Bayou… Snickers Sundae The Snickers Sundae at at Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream at Disney California Adventure immediately jumped to the top of the list of the BEST NEW TREATS for the 100th Anniversary celebration! This celebratory sundae is made with butter-pecan ice cream topped with a chocolate shell, caramel sauce, whipped cream, chopped peanuts, and SNICKERS bar pieces served in a waffle cup. Need I say more? Snickers Sundae “Yes,” you say? No problem! Check out our review of the Snickers Sundae to see why this is our MUST-GET Disney100 treat! See all of our Disney100 treat reviews from Disneyland HERE! Holiday Snacks Handmade Disneyland Candy Cane Okay, so… our final 2023 MUST-HAVE Disneyland snack may not be available again until December, but heed our words… once the 2023 Holiday Season rolls around in Disneyland, you’ll be glad you started strategizing about how to get your hands on one of the FAMOUS HANDMADE DISNEYLAND CANDY CANES now! Disneyland Candy Cane You see, the Candy Canes are typically created on alternating days in December in the two parks throughout the season. For 2022, the locations and dates were as follows (Stay tuned for 2023 information!): Candy Palace at Disneyland Park: December 4th, 6th, 11th, 13th, 18th, 20th, and 24th Trolley Treats at Disney California Adventure Park: December 5th, 7th, 12th, 14th, 19th, 21st, and 25th But that’s not all there is to know!

These, my friends, are not your typical candy canes. Each one is hand-pulled and measures eighteen inches long. They’re lovely to look at… Disneyland Candy Canes … and — take it from us — devastating to break! Are you crying with us? And they sell out QUICKLY.
