There is a LOT happening in the Disney parks this summer! Disneyland We’ve got the start of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival in Disney World, as well as the kick-off of the Halloween season early next month. Over in Disneyland Resort, new hotel perks are coming soon and we’ve seen some special character additions for recent films. But on top of that, there are some new eats that you’ll want to try out on the west coast! For starters, it’s time to celebrate the 67th Anniversary of Disneyland Resort, which takes place on July 17th! From now until then, you can order a variety of special treats at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort. At GCH Craftsman Grill, there’s a Mickey-shaped Chocolate Donut (similar to ones we’ve seen here in the past) as well as the Disneyland Birthday Cupcake, made with vanilla cake, sprinkles, and frosting. ©Disney At the GCH Holiday Cart in the hotel lobby, we’ve got a few special anniversary treats, including the Birthday Cookie Box filled with assorted cookies, the Mickey Shorts Sugar Cookie, and Birthday Cake S’mores Cookie with marshmallow filling. The Mickey-shaped Whoopie Pie is “a chocolate Mickey-shaped delight with buttercream filling” and the Birthday Waffle Shot that’s available here can be enjoyed with your choice of a variety of milks or the addition of alcohol (for those over 21). Also, make sure to try out the Birthday Cake Layered Cake Pop — how festive! ©Disney In Disney World, we’ve seen Walt’s Chili Cheese Fries available for the 50th Anniversary, but now they’re coming to Red Rose Taverne for a limited time as well. They’re made with Walt’s signature chili, cheddar cheese, and green onion, and they’ll be available exclusively on July 17th. ©Disney In addition to the Disneyland Resort anniversary celebrations, there’s another special holiday coming soon! From July 18th-20th, Disneyland Park’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is celebrating the birthday of “everyone’s favorite cantina owner” — Oga Garra. In honor of the occasion, there are a few new eats and drinks at Oga’s Cantina. First up, we’ve got the Blue Citrus Mule with citrus vodka, blue curaçao, pure cane syrup, mule mix, and club soda garnished with a lime wheel and candied ginger. There’s also the non-alcoholic Pasaana Punch that includes orange juice, white grape juice, red passion fruit, and hibiscus. ©Disney As far as snacks go, the Mygeeto Roll is made with tuna poke, zhu cucumber, green onion, enoki, eel sauce, fried garlic, vermicelli, and sea bean rolled in rice paper and garnished with ponzu foam. Doesn’t that sound interesting?! ©Disney However, the fun doesn’t stop at Oga’s — there’s a returning treat at Docking Bay 7. We’ve seen the Blue Milk Chia Pudding in the past, but now it’s back, made with a coconut milk and chia seed blend, fresh berries, pepitas, and shredded coconut. You can also stop by Jat Kaa’s Coolers to pick up the Peka Wheat Gear Puffs, crispy wheat puffs in a savory and spicy seasoning blend. ©Disney And finally, for those heading to Sprinkles Cupcakes in Downtown Disney, make sure to check out their limited-time flavors. From July 11th-24th, they’ve got the Circus Animal birthday cake cupcake that features pink sugar cookie crust, topped with strawberry buttercream frosting, and finished with rainbow nonpareils and an animal cookie. Later on, from July 25th-August 7th, you can try out the Cookie cupcake, a chocolate chip studded yellow cake lined with a cookie crust and topped with brown sugar frosting and dusted with cookie crumbles. ©Disney We’ve already checked out other special offerings like the Thor’s Hammer Drink Holder in Avengers Campus and the seasonal monthly flavors at Salt & Straw, but we encourage you to stop by and visit those spots as well during your trip to Disneyland Resort. The parks are constantly getting limited-time eats, so be on the lookout for unique treats during your visit! ©Disney The next few months are an exciting time for Disneyland Resort, with popular entertainment options back and the upcoming Halloween season. Oogie Boogie Bash has already sold out for this year, and we can’t wait to visit and see what the event has to offer! Stay tuned to DFB for all the Disneyland Resort fun!

Did you know that Disney World isn’t the only park celebrating a milestone birthday? Bistrot Chez Remy Disneyland Paris turned 30 this year, and to celebrate Disney has whipped up all kinds of special entertainment, merchandise, food, and more! We recently took you with us to Skyline Bar at Disney’s Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel located in Disneyland Paris Resort, and now we’re hopping over to Walt Disney Studios Park to dine at Bistrot Chez Rémy — let’s see what the little chef has cooked up for us! Atmosphere As soon as you walk into Bistrot Chez Rémy, you’ll notice that things might seem a little…off. That’s because this restaurant is themed like you’ve been shrunken down into rat size! There are large floral accents on the ceiling, paired with massive twinkling lights. It’s inspired by the Disney and Pixar film Ratatouille, about an adorable little rat with big dreams of becoming a chef! Bistrot Chez Remy When we say everything in this restaurant is huge, we mean it — even down to the plates and forks! Each table is a little tin or other small item that’s been supersized. Everything is HUGE! And of course, Chef Rémy can be found if you know where to look for him as well! Hopefully all those cooking lessons working at Gusteau’s paid off… . Hey Little Chef! Chef Auguste Gusteau’s Anyone Can Cook book can be found here too, and it only makes sense since that’s where Remy got his inspiration! Gusteau is here too. Alright, now that we know Remy can decorate a restaurant, let’s see if anyone really can cook! Eats We started off with the Fresh Bread Basket, served with a side of butter. Of course, bread in France is known for being excellent, and this was no exception. It was warm, perfectly crusty on the outside, and nice and soft on the inside. You know the scene in Ratatouille where they mention you can tell a loaf of bread is good based on how it sounds? This was like that! Bread basket Then, we moved on to the Mixed Greens Salad, served with cantal, tomato confit, poached egg, crunchy radishes, and a vegetable vinaigrette. We thought this was going to be an interesting take on your typical house salad, but it was lacking flavor overall. The tomato confit was probably the most flavorful part, and the poached egg would have been excellent mixed with the dressing — but there wasn’t enough on the salad for us to tell. Mixed Greens Salad Next up was the Herby Roast Chicken served with Potatoes and Onion. If it sounds simple, that’s because it is. The chicken breast was juicy and had a decent amount of flavor, but we wished there was more of that herby flavor that could have taken this dish to the next level. Herby Roast Chicken We have no complaints about the potatoes, other we felt it was a pretty small portion. As far as the onions go, we didn’t notice any on our plate, but the potatoes did have an onion-y flavor, so that could have just been a fluke. Simple but good. For a true French dining experience, we ordered the Grilled Steak, Ratatouille, and French Fries. The steak was decent, but not anything special. For a nicer, table-service restaurant we were hoping it would wow us. It still had great flavor and was cooked perfectly, but it just fell a little short of expectations. Grilled Steak with Ratatouille and French Fries Of course, we had to try the ratatouille — it was really yummy! There was a nice herby flavor to it with a tomato-y finish and we really felt the dish was super flavorful for being so simple. We could have eaten more and are glad that Chef Rémy’s signature dish didn’t disappoint! Ratatouille And finally, we had to finish it all off with dessert! We ordered the Chocolate Lava Cake, and while we didn’t really get any of that ooey, gooey, molten chocolate most expect with a lava cake, it was still good! It was pretty dense and had a mousse-like filling on the inside, which may have been because ours was served at room temperature. Chocolate Lava Cake It was a great end to our meal, though, and did have that rich chocolatey taste that most lava cakes do! Nosh or Not Book a table at Bistrot Chez Remy if… You’re a fan of super immersive restaurants with a lot of Disney theming. You have a craving for Steak Frites. You need a break from the hustle and bustle of the park. Skip Bistrot Chez Remy if… You don’t want to waste precious time in a table-service restaurant. You’re not looking for upscale-style dishes. Your kiddos have picky appetites. Overall The ambiance is really what brings draws people into Bistrot Chez Rémy, and we can absolutely see why. It’s whimsical, fun, and really leans into the Ratatouille theme. But, we weren’t wowed by any of the dishes we tried. For a restaurant themed after a movie all about cooking and learning to become a chef, we had high hopes for Bistrot Chez Rémy. It’s also important to note that they don’t do substitutions at this restaurant, so what you get is what you get! Overall, we had a decent meal and would go back to this spot for a break from the parks, but not if we’re looking for a truly gastronomic experience!

We’re just days away from one of the BIGGEST Disney World events of the year! EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival That’s right, folks, it’s time for the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! This year’s fest runs from July 14th-November 19th, and like usual, it’s marked by delicious eats, some great entertainment, and LOTS of new merchandise. Speaking of the merchandise, we’ve already spotted a bunch of it online. Let’s check it out! Figment Food & Wine Merchandise Let’s start off with the new Figment-themed items you can find online.

When you open your hand, it’s like he’s opening his mouth! ©Disney To continue the trend of dressing in…Figment style (???), there’s a Figment Apron for Adults. This one can be purchased for $29.99! ©Disney Are you a plate collector? If so, add this EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival 2022 Figment Plate to your shelf this year.

Click Here to Shop the Plate Online! Mickey & Minnie Food & Wine Merchandise Would it really be a Disney festival without an appearance from the main mice?! Absolutely not! Mickey and Minnie got their own collection for Food & Wine, and there are some really unique items this year. We spotted this Minnie Mouse Serving Board online for $19.99. ©Disney Clearly, the designers of this collection had pizza on the brain, because Disney also released this Mickey and Minnie Mouse Pizza Slice Plate Set. What a neat idea! You can get all six for $29.99. ©Disney Even if you’re not attending this year’s festival, you can decorate your kitchen to match with the Mickey and Minnie Mouse Food & Wine Kitchen Towel Set. Buy the set of two towels for $19.99 online. ©Disney Every chef needs an apron! This Mickey Mouse Apron for Adults is now available for $29.99. Our favorite part? It says “behold the grill master” on the front! ©Disney If you’re a pizza lover or a Mickey and Minnie fan, this collection is MADE for you! Shop the Mickey Mouse Grill Master Apron Here! Princess Tiana Food & Wine Merchandise When you think of Disney characters who love to cook, two names probably come to mind. First, there’s Remy from Ratatouille…but there’s also Tiana from Princess and the Frog! Remy has been featured at the Food & Wine Festival many times, but this year Tiana is getting her chance to shine with a new merchandise line. First in the collection is the Tiana Spatula for $19.99. ©Disney Making some delicious beignets or other baked goodies? Then you need to check out this Tiana Stainless Steel Flour Sifter. Add it to your collection of kitchen gadgets for $19.99. ©Disney And we can’t forget about the Tiana Ceramic Rolling Pin! It’s online now for $29.99. ©Disney We’re loving this new collection and hope we get to see more of it throughout the festival! Buy the Tiana Rolling Pin Online Here! General Food & Wine Merchandise Of course, Disney also released plenty of general Food & Wine merchandise without any specific characters. For wine connoisseurs, you can get the Food & Wine Stemless Glass for $14.99… ©Disney …or you can grab the Food & Wine Stemmed Glass for $19.99. ©Disney A great low-key souvenir for your Disney trip is a coaster set, and shopDisney has you covered!

If EPCOT does 1 thing better than any other Disney World park, it’s FOOD. From character dining to immersive experiences, margaritas on the go to luxurious steak dinners, this park really does have it all. So that leaves one problem: which of the MANY restaurants do you CHOOSE? EPCOT If you’ve seen our video ranking EVERY SINGLE restaurant in EPCOT, you might already have a few places in mind. For now, we’re going to rank ALL of the quick service (fast food) restaurants in this park! Looking for a bite on the go? Don’t want to spend the big bucks for a sit-down meal? This is the list for you! Alright friends, we’ve got 30 quick-service restaurants to get through, so we better get started! From WORST to BEST, here’s our official ranking of all the fast food spots in EPCOT: 30. The Land Cart The Land Cart is located very close to — you guessed it — the Land pavilion in World Nature. It’s a pretty basic snack cart, serving classic options like Mickey pretzels and popcorn. The Land Cart It might not look like much, but if you’re in need of a quick snack, it’s not a bad option! However, since the offerings aren’t super exciting and you can really get similar snacks for much cheaper if you buy them ahead of time and bring them into the park with you, we had to leave this spot at the bottom of our list. 29. Cool Wash The biggest downside to Cool Wash? It’s not actually available right now. This spot has been closed for a while, and sometimes it’s used to house tables and chairs for guests to use even though it’s not serving any food or drinks. Cool Wash When it WAS open, Cool Wash had a variety of slushies on the menu! 28. Refreshment Outpost Refreshment Outpost is located in the African outpost section of World Showcase, and it offers pretty basic treats and snacks with occasional seasonal menu items (such as when festivals roll into EPCOT). Refreshment Outpost To be honest, there’s not much else to say about this spot. You can grab a cold drink or quick snack, but there usually aren’t many noteworthy treats here. However, you can sometimes get Dole Whip at Refreshment Outpost, so it ranks a little higher than other basic snack stands. And be sure to ask for the Frozen Brown Elephant. It is a must try if it’s available. 27. Oasis Sweets and Sips – Spice Road Table Juice Bar A lot of people miss this spot in the Morocco pavilion, but you shouldn’t overlook it! It has some tasty Moroccan-inspired treats like baklava and almond crescent cookies. And you can find a few drinks on the menu as well, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks. Oasis Sweets and Sips We’d usually tell you to find your cocktails over in the France or Mexico pavilion, but this might be a good spot to visit if you’re looking to shake things up a bit and try something new! Read our recent review of the Moroccan-inspired treats here! 26. Gelateria Toscana You’ll find Gelateria Toscana in the Italy pavilion. True to its name, you can find gelati here! In addition, sorbetti and gelati floats are on the menu. Gelateria Toscana Some of the treats — like the Coppa Delizia — will provide you with a decent bang for your buck. But other options — like the Espresso Affogato (which will cost $9.75 for a little portion) — are much too small for the price. Read our full review of Gelateria Toscana Here. 25. Lotus Blossom Café As beautiful as its name is, the Lotus Blossom Café actually has some pretty forgettable food. It’s located in the China pavilion and serves standard Chinese takeout options like fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. Lotus Blossom Cafe It might not be mind-blowing, but if you’re looking for a comfort meal or a quick snack then you won’t be disappointed here! It’s also a good spot for picky eaters, as none of the flavors are very surprising or unique. Check out our full review of Lotus Blossom Café here. 24. Canada Popcorn Cart The name for this spot is pretty self-explanatory: it’s a popcorn cart in the Canada pavilion. But what you might not be expecting is that it’s home to a DFB favorite — maple popcorn! Canada Popcorn Cart Now, this popcorn isn’t quite as good as the caramel corn over at Karamell Küche in the Germany pavilion…but it is included in the $2.25 popcorn bucket refills, so that’s a win. This spot sometimes gets limited-edition drinks — see one here! 23. Block and Hans This beer kiosk is located in the American Adventure pavilion. It doesn’t have a very fancy menu — you’ll find a standard selection of beer and some Mickey pretzels here. Block & Hans But it DOES have that delicious plastic cheese available, so it gets bonus points for that! And sometimes you can find seasonal brews, so beer connoisseurs might want to stop by and see what’s available. Read our review of a seasonal drink at this spot! 22. Connections Café Connections Café is the new Starbucks location in EPCOT. It’s attached to the Connections Eatery (which we’ll get to soon) and serves all the familiar drinks we know and love. Connections Cafe What bumped this spot up on the list is the one unique snack available here: the Liege Waffle. Although it’s a simple treat, this waffle has been fresh, sweet, and very tasty each time we tried it. It sometimes gets makeovers during holidays and throughout the year, so check and see if it’s dressed up when you visit. Check out our most recent review of Connections Café here. 21. Refreshment Port The Refreshment Port is located just outside the Canada pavilion. There’s really one reason to come here: POUTINE. French fries, gravy, and cheese curds — what more can you ask for? Refreshment Port It also usually has specialty items (and even specialty poutine) available when there’s a festival going on. 20. Fife and Drum Tavern Fife and Drum Tavern in the American Adventure pavilion serves theme park fare like turkey legs and popcorn. It’s simple, straightforward, and not a bad place to find a bite to eat. Fife & Drum Tavern The basic snacks are both a pro and a con here — you won’t be blown away by what’s on the menu, but sometimes a predictable snack is just what you need. Turkey legs aren’t our favorite Disney snack (far from it), but we know that there are plenty of fans out there! 19. Funnel Cake Stand The Funnel Cake stand does what Funnel Cake stands do best – provide you with fried, powdered-sugar goodness. You can pick up a standard funnel cake here, or you can get one with fun toppings – like chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream, and cookies and cream. Funnel Cake Booth They also release limited edition funnel cakes during the different EPCOT festivals! So if you’re looking for a unique treat with familiar vibes that you can split with your group, let’s just say we know a place. Check out a review of a seasonal funnel cake here! 18. Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina OK, the weird thing about this restaurant is that it is somehow both open…and also not open. If you look it up, the Tangierine Cafe menu doesn’t actually have normal offerings available — just festival eats. That’s because the location is often used as a “booth” for EPCOT’s many festivals. 2022 Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of the Medina Previously, we’ve seen items like Shawarma and Honey Chocolate Baklava available here. We’ll let you know if the traditional menu returns! See our review of Honey Chocolate Baklava here. 17. Sommerfest (Mobile Order) We can sum up this spot in two words: pretzels and beer. Can you guess where it’s located? Sommerfest If you said the Germany pavilion, you’re right! It’s a counter-service spot that also has a bratwurst with sauerkraut on the menu. The pretzels here are better than your standard Mickey pretzel (although they’re not Mickey-shaped, so they might lose points for that). Seating is very limited, but beer connoisseurs should be happy with the selection here. And sometimes you can find Nudel Gratin on the menu, which has definitely bumped this restaurant up in the rankings! Check out a SECRET savory snack at this spot! 16. Katsura Grill Katsura Grill is more than a restaurant — it’s an oasis. Located in the Japan pavilion, this spot boasts a garden dining area that’s truly an escape from the rest of the busy park. A footbridge, koi ponds, lanterns — what more could you ask for? Katsura Grill The menu isn’t quite as impressive, however. The options are pretty basic, including chicken teriyaki and various sushi combos. But basic doesn’t mean bad! If you want more unique food, this just might not be the move. See our most recent review of Katsura Grill here. 15. Connections Eatery (Mobile Order) Remember how we said Connections Café was only part of the picture? The other part is the Connections Eatery! This quick-service restaurant has a LOT of indoor seating available, and guests can watch their food being prepared at a few different open kitchens around the dining space. Connections Cafe & Eatery The menu does include some more unique options — like a Banh Mi Burger and Curry Spice Pizza — but you can also find more predictable choices like the American Classic Burger, Pepperoni Pizza, and the Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich. And if you’re looking for outlets to charge your electronics, this is the place for you. Check out a FULL REVIEW of Connections Eatery here. 14. Crêpes A Emporter by La Crêperie de Paris This is one of the newest members of the France pavilion, and it’s attached to the table service restaurant La Crêperie de Paris. It doesn’t just have options from that spot, though — there are a variety of menu items that you can’t find at the table service location! Let’s get in line! You can get tasty galettes and crêpes here, along with a variety of on-the-go hard ciders. Seating is nonexistent (it’s a walk-up counter), but you might be able to snag a nearby bench if you’re lucky. If you just want a quick snack or are looking for a grab-and-run meal, this is a good option! Read our review of this grab-and-go spot here! 13. Choza de Margarita The Mexico pavilion is definitely not hurting for good margaritas! This outdoor margarita bar serves specialty drinks — like the strawberry and mango Fiesta Margarita — as well as some grab-and-go foods like tacos and nachos. You can also find non-alcoholic beverages on the menu. Choza de Margarita The margs here are very tasty, refreshing, and fruity! That makes them VERY popular, so expect long lines at this spot. There is also no seating here. You’ve got to take your drink and go. Read our review of elote from Choza de Margarita here. 12. Kabuki Cafe This is the place to find super unique and interesting snacks and drinks! We highly recommend the Kakigori, which is a shave ice treat topped with fruit syrup and/or sweet milk. (Yes, it’s basically a fancy snow cone. But it’s DELICIOUS.) Kabuki Cafe For a savory snack, you can also choose from a small selection of sushi. And make sure to check out the frozen beer, which might sound a little bit strange. Don’t worry, the beer itself isn’t actually frozen. Instead, the head on the glass is essentially super aerated and chilled. This protective foam works as a mini-refrigerator, keeping the liquid beer beneath colder for longer. Check out our review of Kakigori here. 11. La Cantina de San Angel Aaaand we’re back in the Mexico pavilion for our next stop! La Cantina de San Angel neighbors the table service Hacienda de San Angel. Although it does “borrow” a few menu items from the table service spot — like churros, empanadas, and tacos — it’s got one unique feature that’s all its own. La Cantina de San Angel This spot boasts great views of the World Showcase Lagoon! So if you can grab your food and get a table with views of the lagoon right before Harmonious starts, you’ll get dinner and a show on a budget! That being said, a lot of guests have this same idea, so lagoon-side tables tend to fill up QUICKLY in the evenings. Read our full review on this spot here. 10. Les Vins de Chefs de France This is a popular spot for guests doing the “drinking around the world challenge.” You’ll find drinks like the Grand Marnier Slush and the Grey Goose Slush (both of which you can “super size,” which might be a bad idea if you’re drinking around the world). Le Vins des Chefs de France Grown-up slushies and some of the best cocktails in EPCOT have pushed this little kiosk up pretty far in our ranking. However, keep in mind that there are no food options available here — only drinks. See our reviews of the grown-up slushies here. 9. Joy of Tea This unassuming kiosk is in the China pavilion, and it’ll hook you up with boba, cocktails, and $5 pork egg rolls. We think the Tipsy Ducks in Love cocktail is a super cute and tasty option! Joy of Tea The egg rolls are the only snack on the menu, so if you’re looking for a heartier meal, this isn’t the spot to find one. But their selection of unique drinks is one of the best in EPCOT! Check out the Tipsy Ducks in Love drink here. 8. Yorkshire County Fish Shop (Mobile Order) This is THE place to be if you’re an indecisive person. Why? Because there is literally ONE item on the menu: Fish and Chips. OK, so there are actually some other things available like fountain beverages and coffee. But as far as entrées go? Just the one. Yorkshire County Fish & Chips So how did it make it so far up our list? Yorkshire County Fish Shop may only have one trick, but they’re VERY good at what they do. The fried fish has always been nice and golden when we’ve tried it, and we love those thick-cut chips on the side. It’s a pretty decent portion size too — it can definitely pass as a good lunch. And if you’re able to get one of the tables at the nearby outdoor dining area, you’ll have great views of the World Showcase Lagoon. Read our full review of this spot here. 7. L’Artisan des Glaces L’Artisan des Glaces is the home of one of our all-time favorite treats: the Croque Glace. It’s basically an ice cream sandwich pressed between a brioche bun. SO GOOD. Warm brioche, cold ice cream, sheer perfection. L’Artisan des Glaces There are also 16 different ice cream flavors here, plus some specialty alcoholic floats. The only problem is that you won’t find any savory options, so reserve this spot for when you’re ready for a treat! Check out a tasty seasonal treat at this spot. 6. Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe This is another World Showcase bakery that gets the DFB seal of approval! They’ve got a lot of unique (and very popular) pastry selections, like the sugar-coated Troll Horn Pastry and the vanilla cream-filled School Bread. Kringla Bakeri og Kafe Viking Coffee is another specialty at this spot, and it can come hot or cold. Like L’Artisan des Glaces, it’s not going to be a good choice if you want a savory or hearty meal. So you’d be better off coming here for dessert or around breakfast time! This bakery has a $3 treat that you’ll either LOVE or HATE. 5. La Cava del Tequila One of the best bars in Disney World and also a popular starting point for those who are drinking around the world is La Cava del Tequila. You want happy hour? This spot HAS happy hour! La Cava del Tequila You can find a variety of tapas here and — of course — tequila-centric drinks. The margaritas are also plentiful. With over 200 tequilas and margarita varieties, it’s gotta win the BEST selection of alcoholic beverages in EPCOT. It’s a VERY popular place, however, so it tends to fill up quickly, especially in the evening. Come a little earlier in the day if you want to get a seat! Check out our review of the La Cava Avocado Margarita here. 4. Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts and Barbecue (Mobile Order) This is the place to BE for tasty, tasty barbecue brought to you by the one and only Sam the Eagle. There are barbecue dishes from all across the country, including Kansas City Half-Smoked Chicken, Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich, and North Carolina Chopped Smoked Pork Butt. Regal Eagle The food here is great, and it’s also well-priced for what you get. We think it’s delicious, but if you’ve got a truly amazing and authentic BBQ joint where you’re from, it might not quite measure up to your expectations. But for just good food that’ll fill you up and leave you happy, this is definitely not a bad choice. Read our full review of Regal Eagle here. 3. Sunshine Seasons Does Sunshine Seasons have the greatest food in all of EPCOT?? Well, no. Far from it. But it does have a lot to offer, and there’s plenty of indoor seating for everyone. Sunshine Seasons If your group is trying to cater to a lot of different food preferences, this is the place to be. You can find good choices for picky eaters (cheeseburgers and flatbreads), more adventurous eaters (Jackfruit Gyro and the pulled pork-and-cheddar based Land Crusher sandwich), plant-based eaters (vegetable korma and, again, the Jackfruit Gyro), and even the dessert-is-so-totally-a-meal eaters (practically everything in their bakery case). Check out our review of plant-based eats at Sunshine Seasons. 2. Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie Don’t miss this spot! We repeat — DO NOT MISS THIS SPOT. Les Halles is a little bakery tucked in the back of the France pavilion, but it boasts a big display case full to bursting with delicious pastries, desserts, and croissant sandwiches. Les Halles A lot of the items on the menu here are surprisingly affordable (in Disney terms)! You can get a whole baguette for under $5, and sandwiches range in price from about $7 to $11 each. For breakfast on the go, a quick dessert, a full meal, or just a snack, this is an excellent choice. Seating can be very limited, so bigger groups might not be able to find a table all together. Read reviews of 21 (!!) treats from Les Halles here! 1. Karamell Küche (Mobile Order) We’ve made it. The best fast food in EPCOT. And we’ve just got 3 words for you: Best. Snacks. Ever. (Especially if you’re a caramel fan). Follow the intoxicating smell of house-made caramel to the Germany pavilion, where you’ll find Karamell Küche. Karamell-Küche Some of our favorite options on the menu are the caramel corn, the caramel-covered krispie treats, and the caramel butter bars. Will you find a lot of savory snacks here? Absolutely not. But will you love every bite and wish you could just melt into a tub full of the amazing caramel goodness? Yes. Yes you will. YES There’s no seating at this spot — treats are grab-and-go — so keep that in mind when you visit. Check out 4 filling (and delicious) treats from Karamell Küche here. Whew! It’s pretty clear that EPCOT isn’t lacking in fast food spots, and now you know which ones are worth a visit and which might be skippable. This might all go out the window when there’s a festival going on in the park since all the food booths arrive and your options for snacks and meals increase even MORE. Morocco Pavilion Soon, the 2022 Food & Wine Festival will begin, which will bring over 25 food booths to EPCOT!

Toy Story Land is a big part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios — and it’s about to get some BIG changes! Toy Story Land Not long ago, Disney announced plans for a new shop AND a restaurant, but all we know right now is that they should be opening sometime in 2022. Considering that we’re over halfway through 2022 at this time, we’re wondering when Disney will announce official opening dates! Today we got a bit of a clue about one of these Toy Story Land projects, so here’s what we know. Jessie’s Trading Post Jessie’s Trading Post is a NEW merchandise location coming soon to Toy Story Land, with Disney describing it as a “playset tucked away in the attic.” Disney hasn’t shared a ton of information about this spot but it sounds like a gift shop to us, especially considering Toy Story Land has very few shopping locations. ©Disney We suspect that Jessie’s Trading Post will be located near the exit of Toy Story Mania, where a small Toy Story-themed store was located previously. This spot has been closed for a while now and the exit queue has also been diverted, seemingly due to construction. Toy Story Mania Exit Queue Construction We’ve seen some transformation inside the exit queue, with new painting and lighting installed. The location for the previous Toy Story Mania shop has been closed, but here’s the before of the area near the old store… No exiting through the gift shop. …and here’s the after, as of July 8th, 2022. Lots of changes Interestingly, we noticed that a permit was recently filed by Walt Disney Imagineering for construction at the Toy Story Mania address. The permit was filed for the purpose of “install[ing] set elements,” and because Toy Story Mania is not undergoing refurbishment at this time, it may be reasonable to conclude that this construction permit could be for Jessie’s Trading Post. The exit queue has been diverted for a while now Disney has not yet shared an official opening date for Jessie’s Trading Post, but with this permit recently filed it likely means that they’re moving forward with construction! We’ll be watching closely for more updates. Read more about Jessie’s Trading Post here! Roundup Rodeo BBQ Roundup Rodeo BBQ is another location coming soon to Toy Story Land, with this spot being a new barbecue restaurant featuring a setting that transports guests to Andy’s play area, with toys, cardboard cut-outs, games, and even a rodeo arena! Roundup Rodeo BBQ’s future location Like Jessie’s Trading Post, Roundup Rodeo BBQ is scheduled to open in 2022, but we don’t yet know the official opening date. It was actually originally scheduled to open in 2020, but due to pandemic-related closures, it was delayed until 2022. ©Disney While the new restaurant has mostly been behind tall construction walls, we got to see a different perspective back in 2020 thanks to an Orlando pilot. Roundup Rodeo construction Inside the restaurants, guests will be able to dine inside Andy’s play set, with “rodeo festivities” taking place throughout their meal. At this time, we just need to wait until Disney releases an official opening date! Read more about Roundup Rodeo BBQ here! Woody’s Lunch Box And one other spot, Woody’s Lunch Box, is also undergoing some construction. Disney has not shared what could be changing and we haven’t been able to see beyond shrubs, but it appears to be located in the shaded seating area. Construction by Woody’s Lunch Box Woody’s Lunch Box is a popular quick service spot where you can get favorite dishes like Totchos (tater tot nachos) and Lunch Box Tarts, but it’s not exactly known for having the best seating options. We’re kind of hoping this could expand the seating area a bit more! Woody’s Lunch Box We’ll be watching closely for more updates and announcements regarding all these Toy Story Land projects, so stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World news and updates!

Ant-Man has been up to some pretty cool stuff lately. World of Marvel — Ant-Man and The Wasp We’ve seen him show off the shrunken version of “a bug’s land” (thanks to Pym particles) in Avengers Campus at Disneyland Resort, and jump into action with guests aboard the Disney Wish. And now, the guy behind Ant-Man, Paul Rudd, gave a huge gift to another hero in need of some assistance. After hearing about the bullying a 12-year-old fan was subjected to at school, Paul Rudd (much like Ant-Man) offered some support. Good News Movement shared the actor’s kind gesture on Instagram from the mother’s original Facebook post. Imagine getting to speak with Ant-Man himself! But that’s not all he did — following the conversation with this fan, Paul Rudd also sent him a letter… Photo via Cassandra Cooper (as shared by @goodnews_movement on Instagram) …and a signed Ant-Man helmet with a very special message. Photo via Cassandra Cooper (as shared by @goodnews_movement on Instagram) Ant-Man may be our favorite superhero now!

We love continuing to see meet-and-greets return in Disney World! We love Goofy! It may seem like almost everything is back to normal in the U.S. Disney parks, but that’s not the case. Some restaurants are still closed, and some offerings like the Harmony Barber Shop and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique recently got reopening dates. At the end of June, we got the news that more meet-and-greets were returning to Disney World, and after meeting Jasmine, Aladdin, Cinderella’s Stepsisters, and Snow White, it’s time to meet one of the Fab 5! While checking out the My Disney Experience app today, we discovered that Goofy was listed to meet guests at Storybook Circus in the afternoon at 2:30, 3:25, and 4:20 PM. So we headed over and sure enough… There he is! …there he was! He was dressed in his flight uniform and was enthusiastically meeting guests. Disney World announced that characters would return to Pete’s Silly Sideshow and before the closures, several characters met inside of the Sideshow. However, Cast Members said Goofy is currently the only character meeting in this area and he’s outside his former home at Pete’s Silly Sideshow. How sweet! There is no Disney Genie+ option for this meet and greet — everyone waits in the same line together. The line is also mostly outside, so be sure to bring that water or an umbrella to keep yourself hydrated and cool! It’s easy to miss this meet and greet since it’s in the back of the park and not in a building with a sign, however you’ll find him near the tent outside of Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Storybook Circus. Hi Goofy! If you’re checking out more meet-and-greets around Magic Kingdom, the Evil Stepsisters meet-and-greet has recently changed, and the Darth Vader meet-and-greet will be returning to Hollywood Studios soon as well! Keep an eye on DFB and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the Disney news we hear. Here’s a list of ALL of the meet-and-greets that have returned to normal in Disney World!

It’s possible that we could expect an upcoming refurbishment so stay tuned for more news! Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is having a ROUGH year in Disney World! Frozen Sing-Along Celebration And this week we learned that the For the First Time In Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration will be temporarily closing soon in Hollywood Studios on August 22nd.

Frozen Sing-Along Lightning Lane Refurbishments happen all the time in Disney World, and the length of closure time can vary considerably. We’ll be keeping an eye on this developing situation! Learn more about the Frozen Sing-Along refurbishment here. And that’s all the surprising and unexpected news from the week!

We don’t know about you, but it’s hard to pick a favorite food booth at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival We review EVERY booth, so we have our favorite snacks from almost EVERY booth, but how do you pick one booth over the others? Well, we challenged you to do it for us, with our EPCOT Food and Wine Booth Bracket Challenge — and the Round 1 results are in! First up, we made you choose between the impossible: Japan vs. China! Japan always brings some unique items, like last year’s Shrimp Hot Dog, while China traditionally has crowd-pleasers, meaning long lines. Over 68% of our readers chose Japan, though! China only got 32% of your vote. Japan vs. China Next up is The Alps vs. Germany. Now, we love The Alps, because CHEESE, but Germany has that Schinkennudeln, which is basically a German macaroni and CHEESE. TOUGH CHOICE. But 61% of our readers chose Germany, with The Alps getting just 39% of the vote. The Alps vs. Germany So what did you vote for when we pitted Brazil against Mexico? Brazil has that delicious crispy pork belly and cheese bread, but Mexico has been a guest favorite (the lines at the Mexico booth throughout the festival prove it). So it’s no huge surprise that Mexico won this contest with 71% of the vote — Brazil only got 29%. Brazil vs. Mexico Okay, so this one might’ve been tricky because we realize there are guests who don’t realize that Refreshment Port and Refreshment Outpost are two different locations. But Refreshment Port is usually bringing it with the poutine, while Refreshment Outpost usually brings one dish (and sometimes Dole Whip). This one was close, but Refreshment Outpost edged out the competition with 51% of the vote, while Refreshment Port got 49%. Refreshment Port vs. Refreshment Outpost Next up is Appleseed Orchard vs. Shimmering Sips. Appleseed Orchard is all about fresh apple snacks and drinks, while Shimmering Sips serves up the bubbly! Shimmering Sips takes home the prize in this round with 53%, while Shimmering Sips is at 47%. Appleseed Orchard vs. Shimmering Sips The next contest is between Flavors From Fire and The Swanky Saucy Swine. All we’re saying is that we’re fans of the Corned Beef dish at Flavors of Fire, but The Swanky Saucy Swine serves up BBQ pork flavors. When we tallied the votes, 65% of our readers chose Flavors From Fire, while 35% chose The Swanky Saucy Swine. Flavors From Fire vs. The Swanky Saucy Swine The next one was a tough one, too: we pitted France vs. Italy. Truly, how dare we ask you to choose between French cuisine and Italian cuisine? But we did, and you were torn. However, Italy came in first with 53% of your vote, while France got 47%. France vs. Italy Next up is Canada vs. Belgium. We think maybe that Cheese Soup in Canada swayed the vote here, because Canada won with 63% of the vote, while Belgium got 37%. Canada vs. Belgium Okay, we get it, y’all are REALLY excited about a new food booth dedicated to nothing but French Fries. Because when we asked you to choose between Earth Eats and the new Fry Basket, Fry Basket won with a whopping 78% of your vote, while Earth Eats just got 22%. Earth Eats vs. Fry Basket It was another no content when we asked you to choose between Australia and Kenya. The clear winner here was Australia with 73% of your vote, while Kenya got 27%. Australia vs. Kenya Next up is Mac & Eats vs. The Noodle Exchange — okay, so we made you choose pasta vs. pasta. In the end, Mac & Eats won with 63% of the vote, while The Noodle Exchange only got 37%. Mac & Cheese FOR THE WIN. Mac & Eats. vs. The Noodle Exchange When we asked you to choose between India and The Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of Medina, you overwhelmingly picked Tangierine Cafe with 61% of the vote. India only received 39%. India vs. Tangierine Cafe: Flavors of Medina You clearly had your top pick when we asked you to choose between Hawaii and Coastal Eats. Hawaii won by a huge margin with 78% of your votes. Coastal Eats received 22%. Hawaii vs. Coastal Eats Next up is Brew-Wing vs. Funnel Cake Stand. It’s almost not fair because funnel cakes are a fan-favorite, and the specialty funnel cakes we’ve seen during the festival are just SO good. But yep, Funnel Cake Stand won with 58% of your vote, while Brew Wing got 42%. Brew-Wing vs. Funnel Cake Stand In the contest between Hops and Barley and Ireland, you also had a clear winner. Ireland wins with a whopping 72% of the vote, while Hops and Barley only got 28%. We bet it’s that Guinness Bailey’s Shake, isn’t it? Hops and Barley vs. Ireland So what did you decide in the Greece vs. Spain decision? While we’re big fans of Spain’s Charcuterie, we also love the Spanakopita from Greece. You, though, voted Greece as the winner with 57% of the vote, while Spain got 43%. Greece vs. Spain So there you have it, the Round 1 winners for the EPCOT Food and Wine Food Booth bracket.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. When you’re at Disney World almost every day, you learn a few things. For starters, you learn to stay hydrated by bringing your own water bottle and taking advantage of free water from quick-service locations. Don’t forget to bring a water bottle! You also learn that storms can happen at ANY time, and preparing for bad weather is a good idea. You also learn that things like cooling towels and portable fans are lifesavers. So if you’re preparing to go to Disney World soon, we’ve put together a list of Early Amazon Prime Day deals to help you with your Disney World packing list. As we mentioned, staying hydrated should be one of the top things you do for yourself while in Disney World. It can get hot, especially when you factor in the heat AND the humidity, and staying hydrated could help you feel cooler, as well as keep you from having heat stroke. Bring a water bottle or something like this Mandalorian Tervis Tumbler with you on your Disney World trip. ©Amazon You’ll find refillable water stations throughout Disney World to fill it, too! This tumbler is currently on sale for $25.80 (normally $32.99). Click Here To Buy The Mandalorian Tervis Tumbler Did you know you can bring your own food and drinks into the parks? It’s a great way to save some money if you’re visiting Disney World on a budget (let’s face it, food and drinks can get SUPER expensive). That’s where the Mickey Mouse Lunch Box with Picnic Set can come in handy. Just bring your own picnic into the park! ©Amazon The bag is insulated, so it will keep your food cold until you’re ready to eat it! It even comes with its own stainless knife, fork and spoon, salt and pepper shakers, and a cotton napkin. You’re all set. It’s on sale now for $78.99 (regularly $111.95).

This 10-Pack of Emergency Ponchos makes it easy to carry a poncho in your day bag — and it won’t even take up a lot of room because each pack is about the size of a phone! ©Amazon You can now get these ponchos for $13.47 (regularly $20.95). These are an Amazon bestseller! Click Here To Buy the 10-Pack of Emergency Ponchos Between checking the My Disney Experience app and using Disney Genie, you’re probably going to go through your phone battery FAST in Disney World. That’s why we don’t leave the house without a mobile charger so we can charge our phone while on the go in the parks! This Portable Charger will do just the trick — we like the digital display on the front, too, so you know how much charging power it has left! ©Amazon This charger is on sale now for $14.44 (regularly $21.99).

It seems like everyone is returning to Disney World this week — and we’re not complaining! Hey there! We just saw Minnie join Mickey at his Magic Kingdom meet and greet, and today, we’ve said “hi” to Jasmine and Aladdin and hugged an evil stepsister or two. But that’s not all, as we were just graced by the presence of Disney’s original princess — Snow White! That’s right, the very first Disney Princess has returned to Magic Kingdom! During our stroll down Main Street, U.S.A., we found Snow White meeting guests on the Town Square Theater Porch. Snow! She was taking pictures and signing autographs. (How cute is she?!) Meeting with Guests! If you want to meet Snow White, be sure to check the My Disney Experience app! It lists out all of the times you can expect to see her. ©Disney For more character information, check out the return of Jasmine and Aladdin in Magic Kingdom.

Here are the 11 things you need to order off Amazon before your next Disney trip! JISULIFE Portable Neck Fan Beat the heat with one of these portable neck fans! They’re hands-free and sit around your neck like headphones, leaving your hands available for important tasks like snapping pictures or holding your Mickey Bar! Almost 360 degrees of cooling! We recommend the JISULIFE Portable Neck Fan for its 75 outlets that blow air allll around your neck to cool you down faster. It is currently priced at $34.99, and comes in five different colors so you can match your outfit and your Minnie ears! Click here to buy the JISULIFE Portable Neck Fan! iWALK Portable Charger 4800mAh Power Bank With all the reasons to be on your phone while at Disney (Genie+, My Disney Experience App, taking pictures) you are sure to wear down your phone battery. Whether you don’t have a portable charger or already have one, try upgrading to the iWALK Portable Charger! We love that it plugs directly into the bottom of your phone, no cables necessary. Just plug and go This makes it easy to still use your phone while charging — get that pic with Mickey without dangling cords getting in the way! They also make ones with other adapters, like this one that fits Samsung models, so anyone can use them. Click here to buy the iWALK Portable Charger! Maybelline New York Great Lash Waterproof Mascara Makeup and tropical heat don’t often go well together. But you can still be cute and add a little something to your look without worrying you’ll look like a raccoon after a few hours! Enter: the classic, Maybelline Great Lash mascara. Our staff members go to Disney every day absolutely swear by this mascara, saying it’s long-lasting even when running between Genie+ reservations all day. It isn’t a classic for nothing! Also, if you still want to wear a semi or full face of makeup, set it with the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray (look how cute the travel size is!). For maximum staying power, we suggest spritzing a layer of setting spray in between each makeup step. Click here to buy the Maybelline New York Great Lash Waterproof Mascara! American Tourister Luggage In the market for some new suitcases? Our favorite brand is American Tourister, and you can find a ton of their items on Amazon, which means you can get your new cases lickety split! Their luggage is durable while still remaining lightweight, with plenty of room to stuff all your souvenirs in when you’re ready to head home. We love this cute blush color We also love the full-360 wheels that allow for easy maneuvering. With plenty of different styles, colors, and sizes, you’re sure to find something that will fit your needs! Click here to buy the American Tourister Luggage! SteamedBun Ita Bag For pin collectors, forgo the usual lanyard and instead let your bag double as your pin display! Disney has started to sell their own versions of popular Japanese ita bags that are meant for displaying pin collections, but why not bring your own? Pretty in pink! Fill this backpack up with all your normal park necessities. It features two display windows for pins. Now you won’t have to wait, and can display your new collection as soon as you purchase! We also like these bags because they come in several colors, so if you’re going for a pin theme you can pick a bag to match. Click here to buy the SteamedBun Ita Bag! Disney Baby by J.L. Childress Mickey Stroller Hooks These hooks are totally adorable and can serve a ton of different purposes. Use them as advertised to attach things to your stroller that you need to keep handy or don’t want to carry, like your diaper bag. Perfect for a Disney vacation Even if you don’t have a stroller, there are still plenty of ways to use these; your imagination is the only limitation! Attach it to your purse, backpack, or any other bag you’re bringing with you to the park and then keep your hands free by using the clip to hold your water bottle, popcorn bucket- whatever you can think of! Click here to buy Disney Baby by J.L. Childress Mickey Stroller Hooks! U-pick 4 Packs Cooling Towel These cooling towels are continuously one of our readers’ favorites, and our reporters swear by them too! The cooling sensation activates just by wetting the towel, and will make it more comfortable when spending a whole day in the hot sun. Throw a couple of these into your bag when you head out for the day, then when you’re ready to use run it under a tap and wrap around your neck for some sweet, sweet relief! Now you’re ready to beat the heat These also come with a plastic carrying bag, so even if they are damp you can still chuck them back in your bag when you’re done using them. The fabric is machine washable for easy cleaning, and we can’t recommend these towels enough! Click here to buy the U-pick 4 Packs Cooling Towel! Dr. Scholl’s Moleskin Plus Padding Roll Protect your feet without bulking up the inside of your shoes with thick insoles by using this thin fabric padding by Dr. Scholl’s. It comes in a roll so you can simply cut to your desired size, then apply just where you need it. Not the most glamorous thing on the list, but you’ll be thankful for it! The material is ultra-thin but provides protection and relief to your feet, perfect for long days of walking. The adhesive is designed to last all day, so don’t worry about it failing right when you need to really book it across the park to make your dining reservation! Click here to buy the Dr. Scholl’s Moleskin Plus Padding Roll! Scalp Sunscreen You might be super careful about applying sunscreen all over your body and face, but what about your scalp? An often forgotten area, the skin along your scalp also needs to be protected when outside! Supergoop makes a sunscreen that comes in powder form, making it easy to apply to your scalp to avoid any nasty sunburns. Apply just like dry shampoo The DFB team uses this, and we like to spray the scalp in different sections to make sure every area is covered. Just blend in by massaging with your fingertips or brushing your hair, and you’re done! Another version we recommend is this Banana Boat spray that also offers protection but won’t leave your hair oily. Click here to buy the Supergoop Scalp Sunscreen! Korean Cosmetics Lip Sleeping Mask This may say sleeping mask, but we love slathering this product by Carenel on all day, every day! Keep your lips ultra moisturized by using this just the same as a normal chapstick, and throw it in your park bag for reapplication. For a pillowy soft pout! If you don’t need that level of hydration, stick to using it as advertised and only apply at night before going to bed. You’ll wake up with super soft lips! Click here to buy the Korean Cosmetics Lip Sleeping Mask! Body Chafe Stick Hey, there’s no shame. It happens to all of us! Nip chafing in the bud by being prepared and using a stick that is designed to prevent that awful rub before it starts. Just apply anywhere you normally experience irritation before getting dressed, then you’re good to go! Applies just like deodorant! Our reporters like to keep these little sticks in their park bags so they can reapply throughout the day. Another brand our staff likes is by Megababe, so feel free to try different options to see which one works best for you. Click here to buy the Body Chafe Stick!

Disney World characters are coming back for traditional meet and greets, y’all! These two are HILARIOUS Some of these characters we haven’t seen since Disney World’s reopening in 2020. Some have been around but just recently converted to traditional meet and greets. Most recently, we saw Jasmine and Aladdin return to Magic Kingdom. Now, though, an even MORE iconic duo is available for guests to hug there! If you’ve ever had the pleasure to interact with Cinderella’s Evil Stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella, you’ll know it can be one of the more fun character meetings in Magic Kingdom. Before, the stepsisters were meeting with guests by the castle behind ropes. Now, though, they’re at the gazebo for closer interactions with guests. There they are! They were entertaining guests with their witty rapport when we visited them earlier! With guests! When it comes to fun interactions in Disney World, these two are a real hoot! We love them! Just like other meet and greets, it looks like they’re available for hugs now, too! Hey, even evil stepsisters need hugs occasionally, right? Wanting to know about ALL the traditional character meet and greets that have returned? We’ve got a full list here, but don’t miss out on Mickey AND Minnie who are now meeting guests together at Town Square Theater in Magic Kingdom in their 50th anniversary outfits (but make sure you get Genie+ to bypass the long standby lanes!). You can also meet characters at restaurants with character dining experiences — you can check out a list of those that have returned here. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!
