As always, Walt Disney Imagineering pavilion at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is a must-do for theme park fans. This year’s pavilion, Imagineering: Horizons, takes on a Carousel of Progress theme, giving fans updates on projects underway around the world. From Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure to Piston Peak at Walt Disney World […]
At DisneyFoodBlog, we eat our way through Disney World and Disneyland so you don’t have to guess.
The full spread!
Every month, our team of reporters hits table service spots, quick service counters, lounges, and everything in between, ordering the new menu items, the classics, and the dishes everyone’s talking about online. We take notes on flavor, value, portion size, and whether a dish is actually worth the wait or the price tag, because we know that on a Disney vacation, every meal is also a budget decision and a memory in the making. Last month, our team ate at 24 different restaurants across both coasts. We can’t cover every single bite in one article, but we’re highlighting five standout meals that taught us something important about dining in the parks right now — and we think these lessons will help you plan your next trip.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar Proves Appetizers Can Steal the Show
When we headed to Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, we started with the Bread Dip Pyramid, a $13 combo of Brazilian cheese bread, creamy tomato sauce, and a smoky chorizo dip. The sauce turned out to be the real star, thick and chunky with tomato, acidic and rich all at once, with the chorizo bringing a meaty depth and just a mild kick of spice. The cheese bread itself was soft and airy with a crisp exterior, pulling apart easily while still holding its shape against all that dipping. This meal taught us two things worth remembering: first, that Skipper Canteen isn’t the only place to find great Brazilian cheese bread at Disney World anymore, and second, that Jock Lindsey’s continues to be one of the most reliable stops for appetizers and cocktails in all of Disney Springs. If you’re tempted to skip the lounge menu in favor of a “real” meal elsewhere, this is your reminder not to.
Capa Reminds Us That Splurges Are Sometimes Worth It
Few meals this month made an impression quite like Capa. The NY Strip Steak with blackened caramelized onions was good enough to earn a permanent spot on one reviewer’s special-occasion list, and the combination of outstanding food, incredible service, and impeccable views made the case that some restaurants genuinely justify their price tag. Our lesson here is a simple one for readers planning a milestone trip: When you’re celebrating something big, Capa is the kind of place where the extra cost buys an experience, not just a plate of food.
New York Strip
Rix Sports Bar and Grill Now Has Churro Waffles
Breakfast got a serious upgrade with Rix Sports Bar & Grill‘s new Chicken and Mickey Waffles for $20 — Mickey-shaped churro waffles topped with crispy Nashville hot chicken tenders, hot honey maple, and a dusting of powdered sugar. The Nashville sauce dripped down onto the plate, so nearly every bite carried some heat alongside the sweetness, and the churro flavor baked into the waffles took the dish beyond a typical chicken-and-waffles combo. It landed at a pleasant medium heat rather than anything punishing, with the best bites coming from dragging those sweet waffles through the spicy sauce. What we took away from this one is that Disney’s kitchens are leaning harder into bold sweet-and-spicy flavor combinations lately, and it’s worth seeking these dishes out if that flavor profile appeals to you — just come prepared for a little bit of heat.
Golden Oak Outpost Proves Quick Service Can Still Surprise You
At Golden Oak Outpost, the Hot Honey Chicken Strips for $12.99 came with marshmallow and candied pecan-topped sweet potato waffle fries, and the whole plate over-delivered for a quick counter-service lunch. The chicken was crunchy and coated in hot honey with a great sweet-heat balance, while the waffle fries brought nostalgic marshmallow flavor with just enough hot honey drizzle to tie the whole plate together. The candied pecans added a nutty note that some might find a touch sweet, but it balanced nicely against the chicken’s spice. This meal taught us not to underestimate quick service: Disney World chicken strips, a menu staple most guests think they already know, can still get better.
Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby Sets a New Bar for Downtown Disney
Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby recently opened at Downtown Disney. We were blown away by the Beef Wellington, priced at $73 and served with potato puree, fresh herb salad, and red wine demi. It lived up to every bit of its reputation. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare and wrapped in crispy puff pastry with mushroom duxelles and Dijon mustard, our reporter called it “utter perfection,” and the red wine demi and elevated potato puree rounded out a genuinely show-stopping plate. This restaurant is worth booking if you want a meal that impresses even seasoned Disney food reporters, if your family is fans of Gordon Ramsay and his shows, or if you simply need a slower, more upscale pace during an otherwise chaotic Disneyland day. Our takeaway: this quickly became one of our favorite Downtown Disney restaurants, full stop.
Taken together, these five meals show just how wide the range of “worth it” can be at Disney. Sometimes it’s a $13 appetizer at a lounge, and sometimes it’s a $73 entrée at a celebrity chef’s table — and both can earn a spot on your must-do list. The throughline across everything we ate this month was flavor experimentation: kitchens across both coasts are leaning into bold sweet-and-spicy combinations, elevating quick-service classics, and proving that even reliable comfort foods like cheese bread and chicken strips can be reinvented in new ways. Our biggest lesson for readers planning their own trips is to keep an open mind about where you spend your dining budget — some of the best bites we had all month weren’t at the fanciest restaurants.

Heads up, drink fans! There’s a new, limited-time offering at one of your favorite bars in the Disney parks, and it’s time to grab it ASAP.
Oga’s Cantina
Oga’s Cantina in both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Park is one of our favorite places to go for a unique drink in the parks. Not to mention, if you’re a Star Wars fan, we think visiting at least once is a must-do, just due to the incredible atmosphere. That’s especially true now that there’s a brand new drink available, but only for a limited time!
The Disney Parks X account recently posted about the new drink available at Oga’s Cantina to celebrate the bar’s birthday! The new drink is called Alderaanian Fizz and is made with Mandarin orange vodka, blue Curaçao, ginger mule mix, pure cane sugar syrup, and soda water, topped with candied ginger.
You can grab this drink in Disneyland! Currently, there’s no ending date for the drink that’s been released, so we recommend grabbing it sooner rather than later just to be on the safe side. We know we can’t wait to try it!
The drinks at Oga’s Cantina are so unique!
Reservations aren’t required for the bar in Disneyland, but they are in Disney World. Currently at Oga’s Cantina in Hollywood Studios, there’s a special line where you can walk inside the bar, grab a drink, and then be on your way. You’ll wait for your turn outside, then head inside the bar with a Cast Member to the little open area along the bar for to-go orders. It’s been around for roughly two years, but so many people don’t know about it, and it can really save you tons of time.
Our to-go drink!
We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Disney news regarding eats and drinks around the parks, so stay tuned to DFB!

Are you someone who loves Disney? Do you watch all of the movies? Do you go to the theme parks every chance you get? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingidom
Each week, it feels like Disney is constantly dropping new information, details, and more, all connected to the company. Each week, we do a wrap-up of the biggest news from the week so you don’t miss a single detail. This week had some fun changes and one major milestone!
Every week is different when you’re following the Disney company! From theme parks to television to movies to hotels, there is always something changing with the company. This week included a MAJOR Disney milestone that honestly makes us emotional.
Disney’s Most Popular Lounges Changed… And Then Changed Back
Disney really played with us this week! Earlier in the week, we noticed that both GEO-82 and the Beak and Barrel finally added walk-up lists to each lounge! This means it would be easier to experience each dining option, which previously required reservations to experience.
We were thrilled! Our entire team was so excited to see this change! Sadly, it was short-lived. Disney quickly removed the option from the app. This leads us to believe that this feature is coming in the future but it wasn’t quite ready to be launched.
When it was live on the MyDisneyExperience App, it showed that both lounges were full due to high demand, so even when it was live, it wasn’t really available to guests. We’re really hoping Disney moves these two lounges back to the walk-up waitlist soon. We won’t be surprised if the company waits until after the summer rush is over.
That’s right, Ghirardelli has moved! Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop’s original location has now closed. The dessert shop is expected to reopen in Spring 2027 with new updates. The remodeled store will feature increased guest seating, more efficient guest checkout, and a “few surprises.”
Construction at the old storefront
The new, temporary location is located in the Disney Springs Town Center area, in the former Sprinkles Cupcakes location, which was more recently home to the Black Tap Crazy Shake pop-up. The new spot still has plenty of those famous chocolate squares we still love.
Ghirardelli chocolates
The reopening date for the Ghirardelli store hasn’t been confirmed yet, but we’re glad we can get our sweets in the meantime.
Finally, the biggest piece of news today is that Disneyland officially welcomed its 1 billionth guest! That’s right, one billion people have officially visited the original Disney theme park. A young boy named Andres Robles from Arizona was selected as the honorary one-billionth guest. He and his family participated in a ceremony at the train station where they got to reveal a new sign to mark the milestone.
The entire family got to meet Mickey, Minnie, the Disneyland Ambassadors, and Disneyland President Jill Estorino! After the big ceremony, they were gifted a VIP tour guide for the day. That meant they could visit historic backstage areas (like Walt Disney’s apartment) and skip the lines for the most popular rides.
We can’t help but get emotional thinking about what this means to the entire Disney team. The park officially opened in 1955, and it was only expected to welcome 15,000 guests that day. Over 28,000 people showed up that day to be part of history. Now, one billion people later, Walt’s little theme park continues to make history. What an incredible accomplishment!
What a week to be a Disney fan! We can’t wait to see what changes keep coming as the year continues. As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more Disney news, updates, and more.

My Disney Experience (aka the Disney World app) and the Disneyland app are really your gateway to the theme parks and beyond. These apps allow you to do everything, including purchasing and booking Lightning Lanes, checking wait times, scanning you into the parks, letting you mobile order food, and so much more.
My Disney Experience App
However, the apps were previously only available in one language: English. Well, that’s changed, and now you can get Spanish translation on both apps!
Back in May, Disney promised a Spanish language version of My Disney Experience and the Disneyland app, and it seems like the company has finally started to roll out that update. New screenshots of My Disney Experience have been released with the app translated into Spanish.
Before the rollout of this feature, most Spanish-language speakers had to use tools like Google Translate to navigate around the app. Right now, most pages of the app are available in Spanish, but both Mobile Order and Mobile Checkout are still only available in English. It’s probably only a matter of time before Disney updates those pages, too, though.
The feature is rolling out to phones, so you might not see it yet, and the app will only be translated if your phone settings are set to Spanish. However, it’s another app update that plenty of folks have been waiting for, so navigating both Disney World and Disneyland just got a little bit easier. However, note that you can access several languages on the Disney World and Disneyland websites, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Japanese.
We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney app updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

My Disney Experienceis a pretty robust app that lets you do just about everything you need when you visit Disney World. You can use the app to check in to your hotel room, unlock your hotel room door, connect to your MagicBand, act as your ticket into the parks, check wait times, book Lightning Lanes, and so much more.
My Disney Experience App
The app also lets you pay for food via mobile order, as well as pay for merchandise through mobile checkout, but if you want to use a gift card to pay for those things, it’s always been kind of a hassle when using the app. Well, Disney FINALLY fixed that problem and you can set the app to pay with a gift card by default now.
Previously, if you wanted to use a gift card to pay for something through the My Disney Experience app, you’d have to manually add in the gift card number every time you wanted to use it. That’s why we’ve previously suggested saving the gift card number in a notes app so you can copy and paste it into My Disney Experience.
Gift Card!
But that has now changed (and seriously, this is something we’ve been wanting for a LONG time). Well, now both My Disney Experience AND the Disneyland app (yep, Disneyland got included in this update, too) now allow you to add Disney gift cards as your default payment method. Here’s how it works:
Click on the three lines on the far right bottom of the My Disney Experience app screen.
Scroll down and choose MyDisney Wallet under “Account”
Click on “Add a Payment Method”
Choose Disney Gift Card
Type in the 16-Digit gift card number and details
Click on “Save payment card information to MyDisney Wallet”
SO easy, right? Then the gift card will be used when you make a purchase through the app. However, this doesn’t yet work with purchasing Lightning Lane options, but, hey, at least we’re getting there with other things!
So if you want to use a gift card to pay for mobile orders, mobile check-out items, and tickets, you now have an easy way to do so.

Here at Disney Food Blog, there’s nothing we love more than a massive bucket of Disney popcorn. But there’s something that makes it ten times better – a massive bucket of Disney popcorn in a Toy Story 5 popcorn bucket!
Jessie took our popcorn bucket!
Disney has just released a brand-new popcorn bucket coming to the parks, and it’s inspired by one of our favorite Toy Story steeds. That’s right, the Bullseye Bucket has arrived!
This Bullseye Bucket is available at various popcorn carts around Disneyland for $29 with popcorn, and you can mobile order it on the Disneyland app. You can also get it at Award Weiners with fries instead of popcorn.
We got ours at the Grizzly Peak popcorn cart!
This Bullseye Bucket is so much more than a popcorn bucket. It has a container where you can place your popcorn bucket, but it comes with a detachable saddle so you can cover it and make your very own Bullseye toy! He also has poseable legs to adjust him for any snack adventure.
So cute!
The Bullseye Bucket will also be coming to Disney World soon, but Disney hasn’t announced which parks or the release date for the East Coast. We can’t wait to have a photoshoot with this little guy in Toy Story Land!
It’s Bullseye!
We love our new Bullseye popcorn bucket from Disneyland. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disneyland (but mostly popcorn) news!

When Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run first opened with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2019, the reaction from many fans was surprisingly mixed. Walking through the Falcon itself was jaw-dropping. Sitting in the cockpit was a genuine childhood dream come true. But once the mission began, many guests found themselves wondering if Disney had built an […]
