Blizzard Beach Dining Reviews & Info

For a water park, Blizzard Beach used to have exceptional food. It was possibly one of Walt Disney World’s hidden gems–a magical land of baby back ribs and…well, mostly just ribs. But these ribs were on-par with Flame Tree BBQ‘s, so they alone were enough to make Blizzard Beach a great place for carnivores to

Typhoon Lagoon Dining Reviews & Info

Most people don’t get excited about dining at water parks, even if they do have to eat while there. Typhoon Lagoon at Walt Disney World has several restaurants, with numerous food options available. Unfortunately, most of these options are decidedly ordinary and aren’t the types of foods you yearn for between vacations. The good news

Trader Sam’s Backstory & Details

In our review of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel, we called it “one of the greatest things Disney has built in years.” Our visits to Trader Sam’s since then have confirmed that, and it remains one of our favorite experiences at Disneyland Resort. With this post, I wanted to share photos

Top 5 Disney World Steaks

Currently, alternative and ‘healthy-living’ diets are an incredibly hot topic in the blogosphere. Same goes for the Walt Disney World fan community, where discussions of how Walt Disney World restaurants can accommodate all sorts of health preferences, food allergies, and special dietary restrictions are prevalent. It’s truly great that people are concerned with their diets

Taste Pilots’ Grill Review

Taste Pilots’ Grill is a counter service restaurant in the Condor Flats area of Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort. Currently, half of Taste Pilots’ Grill’s menu consists of burgers, and half consists of grilled chicken. There are some side items, but every entree is either burger of chicken.

50’s Prime Time Cafe Review

50’s Prime Time Cafe is a table service restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World that specializes in American comfort food the way mom would have made it in the 1950s. The menu isn’t the only part of the restaurant themed to the 1950s–the restaurant itself looks like a 1950s home, and “mom”

The Wave…of American Flavors Review

Tutto Italia Review

Tutto Italia Ristorante is a table service restaurant in the Italy pavilion of Epcot’s World Showcase, in Walt Disney World. It’s one of two table service restaurants in Italy, with the other being the (SPOILER ALERT!) superior (/spoiler) Via Napoli (read our Via Napoli review here). This review features photos of the food, our recommendations

French Market Review

French Market is quite possibly the best counter service restaurant in Disneyland–if not the best, one of the best. It’s located in New Orleans Square, which is unquestionably the best land in Disneyland. Best restaurant in the best land? Now that’s a double threat! Like the rest of New Orleans Square, French Market captures the

Yachtsman Steakhouse Review

Yachtsman Steakhouse is the real “T-Rex Cafe” in Walt Disney World. Except instead of being themed to dinosaurs, Yachtsman Steakhouse is a restaurant for dinosaurs. Well, at least the carnivorous ones. The place should have been named “Disney’s Awesome Salute to Carnivores Restaurant (of Excellence).” Unfortunately, Disney went with the more conventional “Yachtsman Steakhouse.” Yachtsman
