Hello, everyone! Happy Halloween! As we all know, Halloween officially starts when Disney World starts decorating for the holiday, and now that we’ve attended the first After Hours Boo Bash, we’re celebrating the spooky season! Witch’s Hat Mousse That means we’re busy trying all the new Halloween snacks, too, including a Witch’s Hat Mousse, an egg slushy (!!!), and a drink with a ring pop in it. How fun! But we’re still keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menu updates, too, so let’s get down to business (and if you didn’t start singing “to defeat the Huns” after that we’re disappointed)! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Rosie’s All-American Cafe The dessert menu at Rosie’s is COMPLETELY gone! Instead, it’s been replaced with the aforementioned Witch’s Hat Mousse. The only dessert you can get at Rosie’s right now. But considering the previous menu included desserts you can get elsewhere at Hollywood Studios, this isn’t a huge surprise. So don’t worry, you can still get the Strawberry Shortcake Verrine at Catalina Eddie’s. However, it seems that the Snacking Sandwich Cookie is gone from everywhere for now. See our review of ALL the new Halloween treats in Disney World Disney’s Beach Club Resort Beach Club Marketplace If you’re grabbing breakfast from Beach Club Marketplace, you’ve got some new sides to choose from. Here’s what’s been added: Side of Breakfast Potatoes for $4.49 Side of Bacon (three slices) for $2.99 Side of Pork Sausage (three pieces) for $2.99 Mickey AND Minnie Waffles at Beach Club Marketplace Side of Scrambled Eggs for $2.99 Side of Biscuits (two warm biscuits) for $1.49 Here’s Where To Find Some Seriously Underrated Mac and Cheese at Disney World Disney’s Contemporary Resort California Grill California Grill is one of the best spots for sushi at Disney World, but there have been a few changes to the Sushi part of the menu. The Yellow Fin Tuna Tasting has been removed from the menu. California Grill But there’s a new roll you can try out here! The Cascade Roll is made with Tuna, Salmon and Hamachi Poke, Jicama, Cucumber, Yuzu- Avocado Puree, Masago Arare and Soy Gel for $26. Check Out The Special Dining Experience California Grill is Hosting For Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Whispering Canyon Cafe We just noticed some updates on the Breakfast Menu over at Whispering Canyon Cafe: The Carnivore Signature Skillet is now served with House-made Cornbread with Honey Butter, Maple-Chipotle Barbecued Slow-smoked Pork Ribs, Oak-smoked Beef Brisket, Barbecued Pulled Pork, Citrus-Herb Chicken, Country Potatoes, Buttered Corn, Charred Carrots. The price has also increased from $22 to $24 per person.

There’s just something warm and comforting about a bowl of noodles. The Artist’s Palette And we know y’all get us — why else would y’all be as upset as we were the times the Noodles at ‘Ohana disappeared from the menu? We hope you got as excited as we did about The Noodle Exchange at this year’s EPCOT Food and Wine Festival because its menu is ALL noods. So yeah, we got a little excited when we saw an Asian Noodle Bowl available at The Artist’s Palette at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort. It’s Rice Noodles with Miso Pho Broth, Napa Cabbage, Tofu, Onions, Mushrooms, Carrots, Jalapenos, Cilantro, and Lime. NOODS! The miso broth was rich and flavorful, and the best part is that despite the jalapenos, it wasn’t TOO spicy. We’ve tried a lot of noodle dishes at Disney World, but this could be our new fave! Yummy broth The vegetables were also nice and fresh and had a great crunch, which worked well with that delicious broth. A similar dish that we tried at The Noodle Exchange in EPCOT was VERY spicy, so we think this has a better balance for those who don’t love spice. Another thing to note is that this soup was super hot, so beware when you’re carrying it to your table! Slurp, slurp, slurp This is a Plant-Based dish, too — so it’s perfect for those on plant-based diets (although we would recommend it for almost anyone). Picky eaters might not love it, though, because it does pack a little heat, but to us, it was the right amount of spiciness. This is something you can grab when you’re tired of the chicken nuggets or other typical quick-service eats. If you want to try it out for yourself, it’s available now for $12.99. And we’ll let you know if we spot any other new foods at Disney World.

Greetings from the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival! Ireland is open! The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival has brought us delicious Greek food and excellent beer, but we’ve been missing some Irish-inspired dishes. The festival made its debut on July 15th and we’ve been waiting (not so) patiently for the opening of the Ireland booth on October 1st! However, we won’t have to wait until then to enjoy this booth! Ireland is joining this year’s EPCOT Food and Wine lineup over a month early! Menu The 2021 Ireland menu features the return of the Fisherman’s Seafood Pie and Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake. 2021 Ireland Menu All you had to say was pudding cake, we’re ready to eat! Food We decided to start with the Fisherman’s Seafood Pie for $6.75. This is a delicious seafood pie with some nice big chunks of crab and potatoes! Despite being so small, this dish is a bit filling! There’s definitely a strong seafood flavor throughout, so make sure you love seafood before trying this one! Fisherman’s Seafood Pie Making our way down the menu, we tried the Roasted Irish Sausage, served with Colcannon Potatoes and Onion Gravy, for $5.50 next. Roasted Irish Sausage with Colcannon Potatoes and Onion Gravy This was really yummy! The onion gravy had a nice caramelized onion flavor that gave this dish a nice aromatic depth. The potatoes are your standard mashed potatoes, but the little bit of skin left on there added some nice texture! The two pieces of sausage really brought the dish together and made this a nice savory bite. Roasted Irish Sausage Lastly, we got to nom on the Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake, with Irish Cream Liqueur Custard, for $4.25. Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake with Irish Cream Liqueur Custard Um…can we have ten of these please? This was sooooo good! Super rich and chocolatey, this one reminded us of a great bread pudding. The Irish cream liqueur custard was a great addition and gave this dish a nice cinnamony flavor with a hint of booze. Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake The cake was a great dish to share because it’s super rich and chocolatey! Read the complete list of 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths here! Beverages Of course, we had to try out one of the drinks, too! The Guinness Baileys Shake is a steep $11.50, but it’s really yummy. The strong stout flavor with the chocolate flavor and Baileys made this a great drink! Plus, you get an adorable Ireland cup that has the festival name on it! Guinness Baileys Shake This has been on our best of the fest lists before, so give it a try if you like Guinness and Baileys. Don’t expect this to be too similar to a milkshake, it’s a lot more on the boozy side, but very delicious! Overall The Ireland booth has been around for a long time, and we’re glad! The Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake was a definite highlight of this booth, so rich and chocolatey and delicious! You really can’t go wrong at this booth — the Seafood Pie and Irish Sausage were both delicious. If you’re looking to try some delicious Irish food, here’s your chance!

We’re back to check in on all the construction projects going on around Disney World! Fall decorations are HERE! Fall has already arrived in the parks (along with LOTS of new treats) and the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations are just around the corner! And, with the countdown on until the park icons transform into “beacons of magic,” new rides make their big debut, and more, Disney is busy at work sprucing up the parks. So, let’s take a look at all the construction progress from this week! Magic Kingdom Jungle Cruise We’ve been keeping track of the MAJOR refurbishment going on at Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom, and now there are a few more things to check out on your ride! First up, we noticed that there are five new life rings hanging from the wall in the queue and if you’ve been on Jungle Cruise before, you might recognize a few of the names. For example, Garland Gertie commemorates the inaugural Jingle Cruise (which is the holiday overlay for the attraction) and Bomokandi Bertha pays tribute to the “first underwater excursion” that unexpectedly happened last year. New additions to the queue! And, on the ride, you may remember the brand new Lost & Found, aka Gift Shop, that Trader Sam set up at the end of your journey. Well, there are two new shoppers here now! Trader Sam’s Gift Shop On our latest ride, we noticed two monkeys had made their way to the store and are now perpetually fighting over some clothing. Looks like Trader Sam has a monkey problem The Jungle Cruise updates are expected to be completed by the end of summer, so we’ll continue to keep an eye out for all the new characters, props, and animals that get added to the updated storyline! Splash Mountain There was another attraction getting some updates this week too! Over in Frontierland, we noticed that some construction skrim had been added to the exterior of Splash Mountain as Disney gives it some quick refurbishments for the 50th anniversary. There is a LOT of scaffolding over there. If you’ve been keeping up with us for some time, you may remember that Disney is planning to completely re-theme Splash Mountain. However, Disney shared just a few days ago that the project is still in development and it could be many months, and even years, before we see anything here. So, it’s safe to say that this construction skrim is not part of the transformation. Click HERE to See the FULL Update on the Splash Mountain Transformation! Frontierland And, construction is also continuing in the greater Frontierland area with new walls around parts of Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe… Part of the restaurant is covered in scrim. …and shorter walls blocking the entrance to Frontier Mercantile and other storefronts in the area. Frontierland Construction Disney hasn’t shared any information on what exactly they’re working to refurbish here, but we’ve seen quite a few smaller projects pop up around the parks like this over the past year in preparation for the 50th-anniversary celebrations. TRON: Lightcycle Run Disney is also still hard at work over at the newest roller coaster coming to Magic Kingdom — TRON: Lightcycle Run. Currently, almost all of the exterior canvas has blue netting installed on top (a project that started many weeks ago), and every day you can spot some workers out there preparing the ride! It’s coming along! It’s still not clear exactly when the new attraction will officially open, but we’re keeping a close eye on the progress! Big Top Souvenirs Big Top Souvenirs also remains closed in New Fantasyland as crews work to give the building a fresh coat of paint on the exterior. Some Work Still Going on Here The main entrance sign was also removed a few weeks ago, so it may be getting some refurbishment, too! Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station And, up at the entrance to the park, we got to see a little more progress at the Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station! The last time we checked in, Disney had unveiled the top of the main building… You could only see the tippy top before! …and this week the construction skrim covering the main portion of the building has been removed! Now we can see the updated paint job and all that remains is a construction tarp around the two sides of the building. Some exciting changes! As a reminder, the Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for well over two years and, though it may not be reopening anytime soon (because part of the tracks is blocked by TRON construction), it sure is exciting to see the building once again! Disney Resorts Disney’s Contemporary Resort Outside of the parks, construction is also continuing on the refurbishments coming to Disney’s Contemporary Resort! Back in April, the rooms in the main building were closed off to make way for a BIG Incredibles-themed makeover, and the tarps are still there extending alllll the way to the vaulted ceilings. Contemporary Construction Plus, now the construction skrim extends outside of the main foyer, so you won’t be able to catch any views of the Magic Kingdom from here. Contemporary Construction And, elevators to the monorail are getting some work done as well, so just expect some construction walls if you’re in need of the elevator. Elevator Construction Keep in mind that there is also some construction going on in the lobby area on the first level as The Wave…of American Flavors receives a big refurbishment leading up to the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, we also spotted some progress on the new entrance area and monorail station! Now the roof is covered in thatch and brand new colorful panels have been installed to match the entrance. Polynesian entrance coming together! But, it still does look like there’s some work to be done, so we may be a bit away from the reopening of the monorail here. Giving us some serious retro vibes Keep in mind that the hotel did reopen for guests last month with brand new Moana-themed rooms, so guests can stay here, you’ll just have to take the bus to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT or walk over to the Transportation and Ticket Center or Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to catch the monorail. Click HERE to Check Out MORE of the Main Entrance Progress! And, that’s it for this week’s construction updates! Of course, we’ll continue to keep an eye out for more progress around the parks and resorts so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

Hello again from EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival! We’re here checking out the early opening of more booths today! Lobster Landing is a seafood lovers dream The 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World is coming up soon but EPCOT opened up some more festival booths for us to enjoy early! Several of them are BRAND NEW, so you know we had to get to the World Showcase ASAP to check them out for you! And one of these new booths is a lobster lover’s DREAM! Over by Mission: SPACE is the all-new Lobster Landing booth! This place looks like it has some great eats for seafood fans, but maybe wait until after riding Mission: SPACE to indulge, unless you have an iron stomach! Menu The menu includes lobster-based dishes only, just as the name implies, and they’re all very different from each other! There’s also a decent variety of alcoholic beverages. Lobster Landing Menu Both wines on the menu are white, which is great when you’re eating lobster! Eats We started with one of the more classic ways to eat the crustacean — the New England Lobster Tail with Lobster Bisque Sauce for $14. It’s VERY tasty, but you guys — it is SO hard to eat it on this small plate. The best we could do is to just jab at it with our fork and eat it off of that. So instead of gracefully cutting into it, we just kinda’ stabbed it over and over (sorry, lobster). Lobster tail? OKAY! But all that work was TOTALLY worth it. The lobster is PERFECT and the bisque sauce on top just takes it up an extra notch. It also comes with a lemon wedge if you want to add a little citrus flavor to the lobster tail. It was hard to eat, but so worth it. Next, we tried the Lobster Chowder with Bacon, Corn, Potatoes, and Oyster Crackers for $6.75. We’re going to have to say that hearty chowder and super hot, humid weather is NOT a great combo! But here we are. The portion size is good, though — we’ll give it that. The lobster and potatoes are diced up about the same size, so you get a lot of lobster with each bite. Lobster Chowder There’s also some bacon in there (mmm….bacon), but it doesn’t overpower the chowder. The oyster crackers on top with the chives add a nice balanced flavor on top. But yeah, we’d be way more excited about this if the weather were cooler. It’s a big bowl! Finally, we had the Baked Lobster Dip with Old Bay Chips for $5.50. This dish is also gluten/wheat friendly! Since it’s a dip, it’s a great item to share with someone else. Lobster dip and chips This was probably our favorite thing at this booth! The dip is warm and creamy with a lot of shredded lobster meat in it. Baked Lobster Dip It was like warm lobster queso, and well, we do love us some queso! The chips were also tasty and the Old Bay seasoning made them super flavorful. Old Bay Chips We’ll just say we would order this again. Beverages There’s one beer on the menu at Lobster Landing, the Salty Crew Blonde Ale from Coronado Brewing Co., which is $5 for 6 oz. and $9 for 12 0z. There’s nothing really salty or interesting about this beer — it’s basically an average light beer, but it was refreshing on a hot day. If you’re a fan of light beers, though, this might be your jam. Salty Crew Blonde Ale There’s also a Steenberg Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa for $6 and a Sean Minor Chardonnay from California for $5, but we capped off our experience with the Cape Codder for$11 , which is Vodka with Cranberry, Pomegranate, and Lime. And yes, it was as refreshing as it sounds. The Cape Codder Because of the heat, the ice was already melting at the top of it by the time we took a sip, which watered it down a bit. But once we got to the bottom of the drink, we enjoyed the flavor, which is mostly cranberry (we only got a hint of the lime). Overall We were very impressed with this booth! Anyone who likes lobster should try something from the menu. The dip was our favorite because we love cheese, but we don’t think you could go wrong with any of the 3 dishes. Obviously if you don’t enjoy seafood, you’ll probably want to skip this booth, although if you feel like being adventurous, you might enjoy the Baked Lobster Dip! That’s everything from the all-new Lobster Landing booth at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival! We’re here trying out the other brand new booths, so stay tuned to DFB for more reviews!

Yesterday, we were surprised that two EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths opened earlier than their projected October 1st opening date. Talk about a welcome surprise! Spain Booth We got to see the early arrival for the Spain booth and The Alps booth and we won’t complain about having more time to eat warm cheese and charcuterie! Today we came back to EPCOT and were welcomed with even more festival surprises! EPCOT decided to open some more Food and Wine Festival booths today and we tried ALL of them!

Although Disney World’s deluxe and moderate resorts generally get better reviews from guests, its value resorts aren’t anything to scoff at either. The whole point is value, and let’s face it — some of these resorts have the most fun theming on property. Disney’s Art of Animation Resort From the All-Star Resorts to the fun decades theme of Disney’s Pop Century Resort to all the cool animation decor at Art of Animation, Disney World’s value resorts have a little something for everyone. But how do YOU, our DFB readers, rate the value resorts? Well, we asked you and you delivered! Here’s what you had to say: Disney’s Art of Animation Resort When it comes to Art of Animation, we’ll agree that the theming here can’t be beaten. From The Little Mermaid Rooms to the Lion King Family Suites and the fun Cars Family Suites, this resort is just full of Disney icons from some of our favorite movies. And you agreed — nearly 84% of our readers give this resort a thumbs up. Art of Animation Ranking Only 16% of our readers think this resort isn’t all that great. Tour a Lion King FAMILY SUITE at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort! Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Let’s see how impressed you are with the All-Star Movies Resort! According to our readers, 65% of you love it here. All-Star Movies Ranking Meanwhile, 37% of you are unimpressed by All-Star Movies. Take A Tour of A Standard Room At Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Disney’s Pop Century Resort When it comes to Pop Century, not as many of you were impressed with the resort. Instead of Disney characters, here’s where you’ll see a lot of fun icons from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. But some of you dig that — 63% of our readers think this hotel is groovy, man. Pop Century Ranking But 37% of you think this hotel is so totally not so awesome. Explore Disney’s Pop Century Resort With Us! Disney’s All-Star Music Resort Finally, it seems you’re not into the All-Star Music Resort. Again, this one doesn’t really have a Disney theme, and we’re just wondering if that makes a big difference. Whatever the case, only 35% of our readers think this place is jazzy enough to stay there. All-Star Music Ranking And a huge 65% think that All-Star Music is a tune not worth listening to. Reservations are NOW OPEN for Disney’s Port Orleans, All-Star Music, and Sports Hotels! Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort If there’s one value resort our readers have very little love for, it’s Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort. Maybe it’s because the sports theme just isn’t as fun as those hotels with a more Disney theme. Or maybe it’s something else. However, only 25% of our readers think this resort is a touchdown. All-Star Sports Ranking The rest of you, a whopping 75%, believe this is a resort that you should pass on. Ouch. Here Is The Reopening DATE for Disney’s All-Star Sports Hotel So that’s what you think about the value resorts and it seems like your favorites are Art of Animation and All-Star Movies!

Entertainment is slowly returning to Disney World, and we are SO HAPPY about it. WE ARE READY! We’re not going to lie — we cried when fireworks came back to the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. And we were there the FIRST DAY that A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King reopened. And although so many shows remain shuttered at Disney World, we got to see another one reopen today. YAY! That’s right, a tale as old as time has returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Beauty and the Beast — Live On Stage had its first performance today at the Theater of the Stars in over a year! And we were there! Can you feel the excitement before the curtain goes up? You could feel the anticipation in the crowd — we’re so happy to be back! Check it out — Belle AND the Beast! Beauty and the Beast, literally There’s Gaston again, up to no good. Oh, Gaston, WHY? But as we know, Gaston does not win in the end, the Beast transforms back into a Prince, and he and Belle live happily ever after. HAPPY SIGH. By the end of the show, the audience was on its feet for a standing ovation. And we’re looking forward to many more performances in the future. So head on over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and catch the show for yourself! And we’ll let you know about other entertainment returning to Disney World, too (and that includes all the NEW entertainment we’ll be getting for the 50th anniversary celebration!).

We’ve been tracking the process of Tropical Storms Fred and Grace as they both approach Florida. Rainy Day in EPCOT It’s hurricane season, so we’ve been keeping a close eye on any storms that could impact Disney World. There are currently two tropical storms in the area, and we’ve got the latest update on their progress. First up, Fred has redeveloped into a tropical storm as it moves over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. Forecasters expect tropical storm warnings will be issued for a portion of the northern Gulf Coast at 11AM. Tropical Storm Fred ©National Hurricane Center The National Hurricane Center’s advisory says, “On the forecast track, the system will cross the southeastern Gulf of Mexico today, cross the east-central and northern Gulf of Mexico tonight and Monday, and move inland along the northern Gulf coast Monday night or early Tuesday morning.” Central Florida is not currently in the direct path of the storm, but the outer bands could bring rainy, breezy conditions to the area. Rainy Day in EPCOT Following behind Fred is Tropical Storm Grace. The southwest tip of Florida remains in the cone of uncertainty for the storm, which remains disorganized as it approaches Puerto Rico, according to forecasters. As of Sunday morning, Tropical Storm Grace is about 55 miles southwest of St. Croix and about 100 miles south-southeast of San Juan, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. Tropical Storm Grace ©National Hurricane Center We will continue to be on the lookout for more updates as Tropical Storm Grace continues its approach, so stay tuned for the latest news.

There are a lot of great Table Service meals in Disney World, but what about the things that come before the main course? Yep, We talkin’ BREAD! We’ve done our fair share of ranking the Disney World restaurants over the years — ranking them by park and even by condiments. There’s one (usually) free component of the meal though that we seem to look forward to almost more than the meals at times — BREAD! Today we’re talking to all you carb lovers out there and covering the BEST restaurants to eat at if you’re in it for that sweet, sweet bread basket! We love bread. Let’s get that out of the way right now. Brioche. Pretzel. Sourdough. You name it, we’ll happily slather it in butter and eat it. Many Disney World restaurants offer a complimentary basket of bread to start your meal. Some even have paid options we’re happy to splurge on. So which is the BEST? BREAD So first things first, our love of all things carby might not perfectly align with your vision of the ideal bread basket. Either way, we’re giving you our top nine. We wouldn’t lead you astray in the land of bread. Trust us. We polled our team for those bread baskets that they loved most and some definite favorites rose to the top. Whip out your butter knife and lets get to it! 9 — Hollywood & Vine Coming in at number nine for best bread basket in Disney World is Hollywood & Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here you can find a few different meal options including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but bread fans will want to check this spot out in the morning during the Disney Junior Play ‘n’ Dine breakfast. Hollywood & Vine Along with getting to meet characters like Doc Mcstuffins, Fancy Nancy, and Goofy, you’ll also get treated to an a la carte menu. And, like all great breakfasts, it starts off with a pastry basket. This one includes caramel monkey bread, butter croissants, and blueberry muffin and comes with honey butter. Pastry basket for one, please? First of all — you had us at honey butter. When Disney gives us a “fancier” condiment for our bread baskets, we’re usually pretty jazzed. Many spots serve up a standard chilled pat of butter that’s…fine. But it could be BETTER. This is better. Plus, we could have eaten 100 pieces of the monkey bread and it still may not have been enough. Now THAT’S butter! The croissants were wonderful with the butter as well! So, this is a bread basket that we would definitely eat again (and again). Click HERE For Our FULL Review of Breakfast at Hollywood & Vine! 8 — ‘Ohana Next up we’re hopping over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort where ‘Ohana recently reopened! Now, this restaurant was closed for a full year after Disney World reopened and now features a slightly different menu — so you won’t find ‘Ohana’s Signature Pineapple Bread (which was delicious) at dinner anymore. BUT, that doesn’t make the bread service less appealing. ‘Ohana Reopened The restaurant now serves a family-style meal and it all starts off with ‘Ohana Coconut-Papaya Scones and Cheddar-Bacon Biscuits with Honey Butter. And, if you’re coming to ‘Ohana for all the island and coconut flavors then you’re going to like the scones — there are even coconut flakes on top! ‘Ohana Coconut-Papaya Scones But don’t fill up on the scones, because the biscuits. OH, the BISCUITS! Cheesy. Bacony. These are definitely not the most tropical bread option but they sure are TASTY. Cheddar-Bacon Biscuits Once again, the MVP that is honey butter makes a stellar appearance here. We thought that both the scones and biscuits paired really well with the honey butter (let’s be real, what DOESN’T pair well with honey butter). We probably had a very unbalanced ratio of butter-to-biscuit but we don’t even care. What a pair! These bread options were totally unique and we give major props for trying something new. So, it’s certainly no Pineapple Bread or Homecomin’ biscuits, but this bread service is still a crowd-pleaser. Check Out Our FULL ‘Ohana Dinner Review HERE! 7 — Le Cellier Steakhouse Le Cellier Steakhouse in EPCOT’s Canada Pavilion may be known for its steak, but we’re giving it a stamp of approval for its bread! And, what could rival steak for the best part of the meal? Pretzel Breadsticks! Le Cellier The bread basket here comes out almost as soon as you sit down and, in our experience, is readily replenished throughout the meal. So, once you finish up one basket, out comes another. And, the pretzel breadsticks are seriously good. In fact, they’re SO good, they landed a spot on the EPCOT Food and Wine Canada Booth Menu served alongside their always fabulous Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup! They’re pretty much addicting and, if you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself loading up on these before your meal even comes out! Bread and butter You’re actually served three kinds of unique breads here — each chosen to represent different regions of Canada! Cool, eh? Now, the other bread in the basket is good, but this is one of the only Disney World restaurants you’ll find pretzel breadsticks, and they’re delicious. So make sure you’re the fastest one at your table to snag this pretzel bread, or maybe if you ask your Cast Member nicely, they can bring you extra! Oh yeah — and they serve maple butter here. So if you needed one more reason to sway you… . Click HERE For Our Review of Le Cellier Steakhouse! 6 — Sebastian’s Bistro It may not be pretzel breadsticks, but Sebastian’s Bistro at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is serving up a bread basket that rivals the salty carb sticks! Sebastian’s Bistro This spot recently reopened and now serves a family-style meal that kicks off with House-Made Pull-Apart Rolls with Caramelized Onion Jam and Guava Butter. The rolls! So the champions here are those condiments. They’re tropical and may sound a little different but we could not stop eating it all! And, there’s not much not to love about this bread — it’s fluffy, buttery, and warm. The whipped guava butter will add some salty sweetness and the onion jam is savory and seriously addictive. Plus, the whole meal costs $29 per adult, $17 per child — so it’s a good deal too! Check Out Our Review of the Reopened Sebastian’s Bistro HERE! 5 — Tiffins We’re in the top five restaurants now and, for this one, we’re headed over to Tiffins at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Here you’ll find a signature dining experience and the food isn’t the only standout — there are also tons of unique decorations to explore (much of which focuses on the Imagineers and their inspiration for the creation of the park itself). And, while we enjoy quite a few dishes on the menu, we’re here to talk about bread. That leads us to the first paid bread service on the list — Tiffins Signature Bread Service! Tiffin’s Bread Service The bread service is served inside a literal tiffin and comes with three different types of bread — Pomegranate Foccacia Bread (Tiffins Signature recipe), Crispy Papadams, and Veggie Pita Bread. Tiffin’s Bread Service Breads Plus, you’ll also get three spreads for your dipping pleasure — a Red Pepper Hummus, a Spicy Coriander Yogurt, and a Ginger-Pear Chutney. Tiffin’s Bread Service Dips We’ve tried all different kinds of combinations and one of our favorites is the Ginger-Pear Chutney and Crispy Papadams, which tastes a lot like Indian Chips & Salsa. And, if you can’t get a reservation at Tiffins, you can also grab this appetizer at Nomad Lounge right next door! Just keep in mind that this bread service doesn’t come with your meal and it will cost ya $12. (Well worth it, we think!) Read Our FULL Review of Tiffins HERE! 4 — Tusker House We’re sticking around in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for the next drool-worthy bread service at Tusker House! This spot serves up an all-you-can-eat family-style character breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Tusker House It’s no secret that we love a good bread basket with dipping sauces and that’s just what you’ll get here! The meal features Fresh Rolls (that are nice and warm), Crispy Papadam Bread, and THREE dipping sauces including Chimichurri Coriander, Mango Chutney, and Red Pepper Hummus. This Bread Service is Delicious Each topping features a slightly different flavor, with the Chimichurri Coriander being fresh with only a hint of spice, the Mango Chutney having some sweetness from the mango and spice, and then the Red Pepper Hummus being the most basic but still good option. Oh, and did we mention that this bread service is BOTTOMLESS?! Yeah, this meal is all-you-care-to-eat. While other Indian or African style bread services on this list with cost ya, this is included with your meal! So you definitely need to be careful or else you’ll fill up before your meal even gets to the table. Check Out Our FULL Review of Tusker House HERE! 3 — Chefs de France Coming in at number three is the bread service at Chefs de France in EPCOT’s France Pavilion! Chefs de France Every meal here starts off with French Bread and Butter and, it may be simple, but you won’t want any other variety of carb after you devour this baguette! It is warm and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside — basically, everything you want from a good French baguette. Plus, the last time we ate here our server offered us more of the bread throughout our meal making it oh-so-hard not to fill up on it. Chefs de France bread service And, what’s Disney’s secret to making some seriously delicious simple bread? Well, it’s made fresh daily by the bakers at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie next door! FRESH BAKED warm crackly bread? YES. PLEASE. Check Out Our Review of the Meal at Chefs de France HERE! 2 — Yachtsman Steakhouse Yachtsman Steakhouse in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort just recently reopened and we couldn’t make a list of the best bread baskets in Disney World without talking about what’s served here! Yachtsman Steakhouse at the Yacht Club Meals here start off with Pull-Apart Onion Rolls and Cherry Multigrain Sourdough that is served with Roasted Garlic and salted butter. It’s that Roasted Garlic smeared on those crazy good pull-apart rolls that really stand out here. Time to Get Those Carbs On Yep, you literally are served a whole roasted head of garlic! Smeared on some bread, the mellow, creamy, sweet-savory flavor of the garlic shines! This is really unique to this spot and a VERY memorable bread basket experience. Heck, we’d probably be content if we could just load up on the bread here and just order a side or two! Click HERE For Our Review of Yachtsman Steakhouse! 1 — Sanaa And, coming in at the top of our carb-loaded list is (as a surprise to no one on our team!) the Bread Service at Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — Kidani Village! We’ve raved about the Indian-style Bread Service before and we’re going to do it again because it is just. so. good! Dips as far as the eye can see The appetizer comes with your choice of FIVE different breads including Traditional Naan, Garlic-Ginger Naan, Spiced Naan, Onion Kulcha, and Paneer Paratha and NINE accompaniments (aka sauces) including Cucumber Raita, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Mango Chutney, Tomato-Date Jam, Tamarind Chutney, Coriander Chutney, Garlic Pickle, Red Chile Sambal, and Spicy Jalapeño-Lime Pickle. All. The. Dips. Our favorite bread tends to be the Garlic-Ginger Naan but there is simply no way to choose a favorite sauce because they are all SO delicious and pair well with the bread (and you’re meal, really). Even birds want to eat the Sanaa Bread Service!! Just keep in mind that you DO have to pay extra for this one (though it’s totally worth it!) and it costs $19. But, we’d talk ourselves out of a fancy entree before we decide to skip the bread service here! In fact, if you’re living that “carbs can totally be a meal” life, you could probably get away with having one ALL TO YOURSELF for a meal! Check Out the NEW Mobile Order Option at Sanaa HERE! Honorable Mention Kona Cafe We couldn’t talk about Disney World bread baskets without at least mentioning Kona Cafe in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! This spot used to be well known for its Soft Rolls served with Macadamia Nut Butter, and though the Soft Rolls are now served with Plain Butter, there is still a chance that you can get them served with the better butter! Bread Service The last time we visited, we asked our server for the Macadamia Nut Butter, and lo and behold, they brought some out! This stuff is such a delight. It’s creamy, salty, kinda sweet, and has the occasional crunch from the nuts! Macadamia Nut Butter <3 The butter is typically is served on the breakfast menu with the Macadamia Nut Pancakes so they may not have it during the lunch and dinner hour, but it is worth asking for that glorious salty and sweet whipped butter concoction. Click HERE For Our Review of Kona Cafe! Well, there you have it — our top Disney World restaurants that are sure to satisfy any carb craving you might have!

We might be biased, but we would argue that Disney World hotels are some of our favorite hotels across the whole world! Not only do they offer a variety of themes and locations, but with the three categories — Value, Moderate, and Deluxe — they offer something to guests with a variety of budgets. Can this view be beaten? But there’s something else to consider when you’re booking that hotel room — what about the view? Now for some, the view isn’t that important, but if you’re like us and like to spend a little time at the hotel you’re staying at, you’ll want to book a hotel that has something nice to look at, right? So we went on Instagram and asked you, our readers, which hotels have the best view. And some of your answers surprised us! So let’s take a peek at YOUR favorites! Disney’s Contemporary Hotel Your number one choice for best view hands down was the Contemporary, which surprised us because well, right now the view (from the inside at least!) isn’t that great because the hotel is going through a refurbishment. Iconic View Complete with Monorail at Disney’s Contemporary Resort But we get it — this hotel is close to the Magic Kingdom where you can watch the fireworks at night and that’s a pretty big deal. Fireworks from the California Grill. WHAT A VIEW You can get theme park view rooms in the main tower, which allows you some of the best views of Magic Kingdom OUTSIDE of Magic Kingdom. Plus, California Grill also offers some amazing views, so it makes sense that so many of you think this hotel offers the best view in all of Disney World. Bonus? You can walk to Magic Kingdom from here. Just keep in mind many rooms without a theme park or water view will give you a pretty average viewing experience! Learn More About the Restaurants at the Contemporary Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort We’re actually surprised that the Polynesian Hotel came in second and not first because it’s one of the most popular of the deluxe hotels at Disney World! And its views are STUNNING. Our view from ‘Ohana Breakfast! Not only does the resort make you feel like you’re really in the South Seas, but it also sits right next to the gorgeous Seven Seas Lagoon, where guests can watch the Electrical Water Pageant parade at night! Electrical Water Pageant is Back! And if that wasn’t enough, you can also see the fireworks from Magic Kingdom here (and we like to do this by planning our dinners at ‘Ohana just in time for the nighttime shows!). Guests can also chill on the beach where music is piped in so they can admire the fireworks from afar! Take Another Glimpse at the New ‘Moana’ Rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Animal Kingdom Lodge offers a great authentic African experience, without the super long flight of actually having to TRAVEL to Africa. This is the ONLY resort at Disney World set on a large savanna where you can see animals from nearly everywhere throughout the resort. Time to grab a seat at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and enjoy the view! And if you book a Savannah-view room, you’ll get to wake up every morning, walk out onto your balcony, and see giraffes, elk, and other unique wildlife with your morning cup of coffee. Savannah Animals Can’t afford the upcharge for a Savanna Room? Here’s our tip — request a partial savanna view room after you book your standard room. More often than not, Disney will do its best to accommodate your request. And you’ll still get a great view because partial just means there are some buildings in the view, too (but you’ll still see a TON of animals). This isn’t a guarantee but you might luck out with a nice view for less! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is Disney World’s flagship resort for a reason. It has amenities galore, a breathtaking lobby, and impeccably manicured grounds that are just compelling you to meander and explore! Sure, it’s expensive, but if you’re looking for an elegant stay that is a stroll away from the Magic Kingdom, this resort delivers. Grand Floridian But even better? You can see the Magic Kingdom fireworks from almost everywhere facing the water here — on the grounds, in many of the restaurants, and possibly even your room. View of Castle From Grand Floridan Resort & Spa And if you’re looking for a stroll with a view, there’s a brand new walkway that will let you take a leisurely stroll to and from the Magic Kingdom! Read Our Review of the Gorgeous New Citrico’s at the Grand Floridian! Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Wilderness Lodge takes its inspiration from America’s National Parks, so we were not that surprised when our readers told us that it has one of the best views on property. This resort is LUSH and some of the standard rooms have views of the Magic Kingdom! Disney’s Wilderness Lodge But the Nature View rooms are also amazing, especially if you’re a lover of the Great Outdoors — we’re talking gorgeous forests and stunning waterfalls here! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms And many of the Courtyard Rooms overlook Bay Lake — and if you’ve never watched the sunrise over Bay Lake, you’re in for a treat. Click Here to Read Our Most Recent Review of Whispering Canyon! Disney’s BoardWalk Inn It’s interesting that the only EPCOT-area resort that made our readers’ list is Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. Perhaps it’s the fact that the hotel sits on a turn-of-the-century style boardwalk overlooking Crescent Lake (and it is certainly a nice view). Disney’s BoardWalk Inn And that Boardwalk COMES ALIVE with carnival games, dance halls, restaurants, bars, and more! Just note that only select rooms offer views of the BoardWalk. But still, the grounds here are absolutely lovely and many garden view rooms have fantastic views. Oh, and did we mention those FIREWORKS views?? But mostly, we just think our readers love the view of the lake and the BoardWalk itself. The area is a joy to walk around, and you can easily get to the Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin and Yacht and Beach Club resorts, too — not to mention Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT! Here’s When Boardwalk Inn Will Reopen Disney’s Riviera Resort Our readers also love the views from Disney’s newest resort, the Riviera! This hotel is LUXE with a capital “L,” and when it comes to views, its rooftop restaurant, Topolino’s Terrace — Flavors of the Riviera, is hard to beat! Disney’s Riviera Resort Once you step into its glistening lobby, you get a view of the lake beyond. It really does feel like you’re visiting a luxury hotel on the French Riviera but…you know…in swampy Florida. The view from Topolino’s Terrace But maybe it made this list because guests love the beautiful mosaic murals in the walkway tunnel. And those alone make for a great view, even if they are technically inside the hotel! SO. PRETTY. Either way, many rooms in this hotel sport endless views of the surrounding area, including Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and more. Check Out this Popular Resort Specific Merchandise! Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Although most of you prefer the views at the Deluxe Hotels, some of you voted for this moderate resort. And although we often see complaints from guests about how massive Caribbean Beach is, our readers still like the views. So many beautiful views, but there is A LOT of walking to do at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort And it’s true — this hotel makes you feel like you’re on a tropical island with its vibrant buildings and lush landscaping — this is a gorgeous resort! White sands and a hammock, what every vacation view needs! This is where you want to go and lie in a hammock (which are readily available) on a “beach” and just let life pass you by. So it totally makes sense that this moderate resort makes your “best views” list! Here’s Why People HATE These Disney World Hotels Each Disney resort has its own charm, style, and story. No two are exactly alike, and that goes for their views, too! So whether you want to gaze out at a tropical paradise, the wonder of a magical kingdom, or an exotic African savanna, Disney has a view just for you!

The holiday season is almost upon us! It’s time to start locking down those plans for the wintertime, which means thinking about Disney Very Merriest After Hours at Magic Kingdom. Main Street, USA during the holidays Disney recently released a TON of news for the new holiday event including dates, ticket prices, the return of holiday parades, and the return of Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks! Now that we know this event is increasing its pricing (like we saw for Boo Bash), let’s take a look at the cheapest days to visit Disney Very Merriest After Hours! November The least expensive days to hit up the Disney Very Merriest After Hours party at Magic Kingdom are November 9th, 11th, 16th, and 18th. On all of these days, you’ll only be set back $169 per person instead of the steep December prices that are well above $200 a person! Castle Projections For Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members, the price on those same dates is $159, which is the cheapest price you’ll see for the season. December Although December is a lot more expensive than November overall, there are a few days that cost less. If you want to visit Disney Very Merriest After Hours in December, we suggest going on December 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 14th, or 16th! Christmas in Magic Kingdom! Tickets cost $209 each for those dates. Unlike the November dates, Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members do NOT have a discount in December and will pay the same price as general admission. Take a look at the FULL pricing for Disney Very Merriest After Hours When compared to the previous Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the Disney Very Merriest After Hours event is significantly more expensive regardless of the date. However, Disney Very Merriest After Hours still offers a lot of the same highlights as its predecessor with parades, fireworks, treats, access to rides, and snoap (fake snow) on Main Street, U.S.A. all coming back! The Holiday Season Will Be Here Before You Know It! Disney World hotel guests will be able to book starting on August 17th, and general admission opens up on August 20th.

World Showcase in EPCOT is infamous for having some interesting snacks from all around the world. We’ll Take One of Everything, Please Japan is typically known for having some pretty unique snacks, but we were over in Norway recently, and let’s just say we were a little unsure of what we found. While walking around and checking out some Frozen merchandise, we spotted a snack that looked reminiscent of Sour Patch Kids. Norwegian Sour Patch Kids? We had never tried these before, so we were intrigued to see how they compared to candy like Sour Patch Kids! Red is always the best! In the bag, there are five different flavors — Pineapple, Orange, Apple, Raspberry, and Lemon. Five different flavors We tried our first gummy to see what it tasted like, and sure enough, it was very reminiscent of a sour patch kid. Red first! The only noticeable difference was a slight difference in texture. We took out the second gummy, and to our surprise, it resembled a female like on the front of the bag. But how much did this bag of candy cost? A Female Gummy! While this was a pretty unique, the price tag certainly didn’t match the experience. This bag of gummies will cost you a very expensive $12.95 (!!!). So while they tasted pretty good, we would definitely recommend sticking to the School Bread when you are in Norway! School Bread with a ‘Frozen’ makeover! We love trying all the snacks from World Showcase! Stay tuned to DFB for all things snacks at Disney World!

We’re in the middle of the Halloween season, but that doesn’t mean that we have to wait to prepare for Christmas! You should already be planning for the holidays! This year, Magic Kingdom is hosting the Disney Very Merriest After Hours in the place of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and quite a few details have been revealed about what it will be like. So without further ado, let’s discuss everything you need to know if you want to visit the event! Dates & Times First, let’s talk about WHEN the party is happening. The event will be held on select nights from November 8th through December 21st. There are 24 separate Very Merriest events to choose from, so you should be able to find one that fits with your trip schedule! We can’t wait to see all the holiday decorations! Since it is an After Hours event, it will take place after Magic Kingdom closes for the day. Each night the festivities will run from 9PM until 1AM, which is an hour longer than the Halloween-themed Boo Bash! Click Here to See All the Event Dates! Tickets If you’d like to purchase tickets to Very Merriest After Hours, then you should know that they go on sale to the general public on August 20th. Guests of select Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green may purchase their tickets as early as August 17th. You can buy tickets online or by calling 407-939-7947. Disney Resort guests may purchase early! Prices for Very Merriest are also a good bit higher than they were for Boo Bash. Tickets start at $169 and run to $229 each for select nights in November and December. Prices go up to $249 each for December 19th and 21st. If you’re an Annual Passholder or a Disney Vacation Club member, you can get a $10 on certain November dates. Click Here for All the Ticket Details! Entertainment As far as entertainment goes, there are quite a few options! Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is returning — the first time a parade has come back to the parks since the closure in March 2020. We can’t wait to have parades again! Also, you’ll be able to spot some of your favorite Disney characters all around the park throughout the night. Disney specifically mentions pals like the Country Bears, Jiminy Cricket, and friends from the Hundred Acre Wood. We hope to see some of our favorites! Ready to tap your toes and sing along with some catchy tunes? Try checking out a performance of the Reindeer Wranglers in Frontierland or stopping by the Club Tinsel Dance Party in Tomorrowland. Club Tinsel in 2019 at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Finally, you can cap off the night with Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks! Amazing pyrotechnics light up the sky to the tune of Christmas hits. And if you arrive before the party starts (your ticket lets you into Magic Kingdom as early as 7PM), you can also catch the nightly showing of Disney Enchantment — the 50th Anniversary fireworks display. Fireworks from Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in 2019 Wow, that’s quite the lineup of entertainment if you ask us! We’re starting to wonder if 4 hours is going to be enough time to accomplish it all. Click Here to Learn More About Disney Enchantment! Other Offerings Guests of Very Merriest will be able to experience lots of special and unique offerings, including holiday attraction overlays, exclusive snacks, exclusive PhotoPass opportunities, and “magical snowfall” on Main Street, U.S.A. The Jungle Cruise becomes the Jingle Cruise! Also, because this is an After Hours event, guests are promised lower wait times and smaller crowds than you would find during the daytime at the parks. More than 20 attractions will be open during the event for you to enjoy! You won’t have to wait in those long lines! And as an added bonus, some free treat options will be available at snack carts around the park. You can pick up ice cream novelties, bottled soft drinks, and what Disney calls “seasonal treats.” Does this mean that the free cookies are coming back? We’ll have to wait and see!
