It’s quite common to travel to Disney World in summer and feel the overwhelming urge to try everything. With a whole new world of options right where you are, you may not be prepared. Luckily, you’ve got a friend in me. It looks like I’m your one last hope so there’s no limit on how far I’ll go to introduce to you, The Ultimate Disney Food Bucket List. You’re welcome.
Mickey Premium Bars
No matter how many times you’ve had one, you have to get a Mickey Premium Bar every time you find yourself in Disney. It’s kinda like reuniting with an old friend.
Desserts at Erin McKenna’s Bakery
Would you think I’m lying if I told you this ENTIRE bakery is gluten-free and vegan? The “pretty-in-pink” New York City favorite that has found itself in the heart of Disney Springs offers unique desserts like french toast cupcakes, samoa donuts, thin mints, and vegan soft serve!
Breakfast at Ohana
#SpoonTip: If you are only going to one place on this whole bucket list, please let it be Ohana. The breakfast is family style and they give you TONS of food (pretty amazing food I might add). Also, every once and a while Lilo, Stitch, Mickey, Minnie, and whatever other characters are hanging out that day will lead guests around the dining room in song and dance. You don’t want to miss this one.
The Plaza
The Plaza just radiates that Main Street charm. Nestled in the heart of Walt Disney’s Marceline, Mississippi replica, The Plaza Restaurant offers classic American cuisine in a soda-shop inspired parlor, decked out with elegant details from the chandeliers to the carpet patterns. While the entrees here are out of this world, the bottomless milkshakes steal the show.
Dole Whips in Adventureland
If you know, you know.
Literally Anything at Boatwright’s
Wander down the Riverside at Port Orleans Resort to discover hidden gem, Boatwright’s. You’ll make yourself at home with the southern comfort cuisine and Sassagoula River views. The expansive and unique N’awlins-themed menu makes it hard to choose, but you can’t go wrong with the jambalaya.
Dreams do come true in New Orleans.
Tapas at the Nomad Lounge
Pushing and shoving our way into the land of Pandora, it is easy to overlook the presence of the Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom. But I am here to tell you: DON’T. 21 or not, the Nomad Lounge is a cozy traveler’s hangout with relaxing vibes. There is a huge menu of refreshing drinks – and most alcoholic options offer non-alcoholic substitutes. They also offer a delicious selection of small plates.
Burgers at D-Luxe
So, not only does D-Luxe break the creativity scale with a menu chock full of unique burgers and shakes – but have you seen this place?! It has that whole hardwood floor, ranch-stye, mason jar vibe. I highly recommend the Cluck Burger with a chicken burger, garlic herb sauce, avocado, lettuce and tomato.
Brunch at Raglan Road
Okay, the real question is: what isn’t good at Raglan Road? Most people know Raglan Road for the cool Irish step dancers, pub, and decadent onion rings…but have you seen them do brunch?
That egg is ridiculously photogenic.
