Signature 'Ohana bread with honey butter

Honey-coriander chicken wings

Pork dumplings tossed in garlic-chili sauce

'Ohana skillet dinner; wood-fire grilled teriyaki beef, spicu peel-n-eat shrimp, grilled chicken with polynesian-inspired chimichurri sauce, 'Ohana noodles, and roasted brocconili

The Boathouse in Disney Springs

 

One of my favorite places to eat in Orlando is The Boathouse in Disney Springs!

The rolls are incredible, good luck eating just one, but you have to try the Filet Mignon Sliders with maitre d'butter! Upgrade to the truffle fries with lemon aioli.

The Key Lime Pie Martini is incredible too! Click here and let me know if you have a favorite at The Boathouse!

Saving Money on Food at Disney World

 

My clients always tell me that one of their favorite documents I share with them is my "saving money on food at Disney" document. This is chalked full of absolutely every way I have found to save during my vacations.

So if you aren't booked with me (yet ) I want to share one of those tips, and it's sooo simple.

Share. Yep. Share your food. Disney portion sizes can be MASSIVE. Split entrees. Order 1 adult meal vs two children's meal. Many of those smaller portions are going to include a convenience fee and yes, the 2 piece chicken strip might come with a mandarin, but you can save $5 if you just order a 5 piece adult chicken strip with fries and have your kids share. And most of the time adults are going to throw most of their meal away, so they can share too!

Example: Check out the size of these breakfast bowls. We thought we were being smart getting an order of the hash brown bites to share, but we could have easily split one breakfast bowl too.

And sharing means more room in your tummy to try more snacks.

Unpopular Disney World Opinion

 

Disney brings out big opinions and I think I have one of the most controversial opinions...Cinderella's Royal Table is not that good and I will always pick Akershus over it

I know, I know! "But the Castle..." yes, that is exactly where the mystique ended for me. I have yet to try anything I absolutely loved there and while the Princesses are great, I think the food and experience are just as good at Epcot, for less $$$

I'd honestly rather meet princesses around the World Showcase and eat at food booths during a festival if I get to be completely honest!

Adventureland Cheeseburger Spring Rolls Recipe

 

The Cheeseburger Spring Rolls from Adventureland in Magic Kingdom are one of my favorite treats. So much so that I came home and had to learn how to make them. Continue for instructions and ingredients!

Food in Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom

 

There’s no denying that Pandora is one of the prettiest parts of Animal Kingdom. But it’s also home to some really yummy, especially for theme parks, food!

Seven Dwarfs Specialty Cone at Storybook Treats

 

How cute is this? The Seven Dwarfs Specialty Cones at Storybook Treats in Magic Kingdom rotate and each is a unique and delicious flavor. 

I was able to try the Happy Cone ($5.99) which is a chocolate-banana soft serve. It was so good! 

Yak & Yeti Restaurant in Animal Kingdom

 

Dinner at Yak & Yeti never disappoints! Some of the best food you'll find inside the theme parks at Walt Disney World.

Planet Hollywood in Disney Springs

Planet Hollywood has become one of my favorite stops in Disney Springs! The drinks are always delicious, like The Black Pearl Mai Tai ($12.99) featuring Cruzan white rum, lime & orange juices, real passion fruit syrup, grenadine, with a Myers's dark rum float.

Breakfast at Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley

 

If you are a fan of Harry Potter visiting the Leaky Cauldron and the Three Broomsticks are a must! The details are so much fun, but the food isn't too bad either!

The Hopping Pot in Diagon Alley

 

The Hopping Pot is a great spot to stop and grab a Butterbeer ($7.99) or other fun drinks and snacks!

Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour in Diagon Alley

 

There is nothing better than grabbing an ice cream from Florean's and waiting for the dragon atop Gringotts to go off (which happens every 15 minutes.) This Chocolate Strawberry Peanut-Butter Sundae ($7.49) has strawberry peanut-butter ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream and shortbread crumbles. It was DELICIOUS!

Mel's Drive-In at Universal Studios Florida

 

Mel's is so much fun! We love to look at the vintage cars and who doesn't like somewhere that offers a rootbeer float?

Finnegan's Bar & Grill at Universal Studios Florida

 

Finnegan's does not disappoint! The food, the entertainment, it was all terrific.

Pat O' Brien's at Universal CityWalk

 

Honestly, my expectations for Pat O' Briens was not very high. We were just looking for somewhere with some fun nightlife, and that part did not disappoint. The atmosphere was a lot of fun and pianists were all terrific the night we dined in!

Eternelle's Elixir of Refreshment in Diagon Alley

 

Honestly, I've always felt like this was a little too gimmicky for me, but my husband loves a gimmick...which is how we ended up with a $10 water...

Voodoo Doughnut at Universal CityWalk

 

It's not a trip to Universal Orlando if you didn't get a donut from Voodoo Doughnut and take a picture in the donut chair! I grabbed a Dirt Donut ($2.95) to take back to my room one evening. It's a raised yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting and Oreo cookies. SOOOO decadent and delicious.

Pro Tip: If the line to get in is really long, you can place a mobile order from the app and grab your donut order at the pickup kiosk in CityWalk!

Boatwright's at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside

 

Boatwright's recently reopened at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and features a hearty dinner menu!

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls in Magic Kingdom

 

Hands down, my favorite snack to get at Disney World are the Cheeseburger Springs Rolls from the cart near Adventureland in Magic Kingdom. So simple, but so delicious. While the $10 price tag for 2 seems a bit steep, I don't even care. I'm also not sharing! These are so good that I came home and mastered making them myself to curb the cravings.
