50's Primetime Diner once made me a completely off-the-menu brownie for my dessert, thanks to my allergies making all the on-menu desserts off-limits, and to this day I still think of that brownie. It was as big as two slices of cake, slathered in gooey syrup, and just... one of the best desserts I've ever had. THE best I've had from a restaurant. I will always sing the praises of 50's Primetime Diner.

Disney popcorn is amazing (especially if you have people with lots of allergies...it's dairy-free so my nieces who are allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts and gluten can all enjoy it - just beware of the carts that have a specialty flavor because sometimes those get mixed together), same thing with Dole Whip, they can both enjoy it so we love that Disney has these options!

So glad Nomad Lounge made it on the list. My husband and I enjoyed this in December on our adults-only trip. I agree that they have the best churros on property and was pleasantly surprised with their $10 ribs, which was our biggest "steal" of the trip.

My two cents...my last trip I drove (from CT) with a cooler of food. We stayed at the cabins in Ft Wilderness. Day 1 I cooked and stored the food. (I needed some additional casserole dishes which guest services provided.) We ate about 1/2 of our meals in the cabin. This was done more for nutritional reasons than costs. Disney World is a physical challenge best met on a wholesome diet. We ate out enough to try a few new things, so a good compromise.

Gluten free churros?! 😮Wow! Hard to find snacks like that. Made me so hungry AJ. I had to stop video several times t look up menus of restaurants LOL.

here's an easy tip for trying out the idea of the pongo lupia before taking the trip and laying out so much money for the snack: Philadelphia Cream Cheese (in your grocery store's cheese and yogurt section) makes several flavored cream cheeses, including one with pineapple in it that you can get in a SMALL container. Try that out warmed on a lightly toasted bagel or bread slice. Easy peasy.

9 more days!!! I can’t wait, I’ve been watching all of these videos preparing. This will be my fiancé’s first time, and a surprise for my 10 yr old. He’s expecting me to be the tour guide and “know it all” because I’m indulging in all of DFB vids. Hahaha

i'm going to disney with my 4 little nieces/nephew, the oldest is 6. The only souvenier i KNOW i'm getting is a 50th anniversary popcorn bucket- i'm gonna wear it on my hip every day we're in the parks, and then every time the kids say they're hungry for a snack while we're in the middle of a line or someone's in the bathroom- because yknow how toddlers are- we don't have to break up the group of 12, they can all just mooch off my popcorn. It's cheap and delicious. Bonus points because their mom is vegan and the popcorn is dairy-free.

I started watching some DFB videos to prepare for a Disney trip a couple years ago and after hearing Sanaa mentioned a few times I booked a reservation for lunch during our animal kingdom day. It was the best meal we had of the trip and the bread plate that they have could have easily fed the three of us with out our added entrées, but those were great as well. Thanks DFB for a great recommendation.

I went in the beginning of July!!! I ate popcorn while my family was on a ride. No regrets 👌🏼

I've been going to WDW on solo trips since the 90s. Solo trips are better than multimember groups for the primary reason of there being no requirement to agree to set eating times, no meeting at X place at X time, and you can go back and forth to whatever park you want to visit without a need to agree in advance. The downsides of solo visits include higher cost of hotel rooms and the awkward announcement "Willner party of one" over the PA system. I enjoyed every solo visit I've had to WDW.

We love the all you can eat places, especially Garden Grill and Tusker House. Both always have great food and character interaction. Well worth the price. Never been to The Fountain, but I'm definitely going to try it now.

The caveat to all of this and she said it, is that most of this is cheap for Disney. The quick service seems typical for other restaurant prices.

I can't imagine what prices Disney World charges nowadays for their menu items. The food seemed expensive even back in the mid1990s. Don't most people just leave the parks around lunch time or the early afternoon to go grab lunch or an early dinner at the local restaurants outside of the parks to save money? Or some people just go to their car and grab a sandwich and drink out of their cooler? Definitely much cheaper than eating in the park.

@@jadecoloredglasses5822 I guess with the Magic Kingdom park that makes sense about losing time since you need to take the ferry or monorail back to the main parking lot. It didn't seem to take too long to walk to the car from Epcot or the MGM studios parks when I used to go. But then, you didn't need the fast pass or Genie pass thing back then and the lines were reasonable. The fact that it's a certainty that you'll be in a long line for each ride seems ridiculous for what you're paying for.

While I know this is from 2021 a small tip about "buffets" regardless of where you are. Watch those heavy meals TOO early in the day, lest you and your group get hit by a food coma during your stay. An end-of-day thing? It could be perfect for closing out the day. A heavy meal may leave you napping on rollercoasters and/or court a sudden and unstoppable bathroom break at any time afterwards as well as a possible embarrassing ride moment when your stomach goes upside down! LOL. :)

I am very curious what makes you think that they are going to move back to the 180 day booking window for dining. As someone who has a very important trip (honeymoon) booked that is between 180 and 60 days out, this change would be an incredibly stressful and unfair move to make, especially without any kind of automatic system that would let us know in advance (directly through Disney). I am very checked into everything Disney news, but if this transition were to happen without any warning it would be heartbreaking, because I'm sure that the restaurants that we have our hearts set on will be booked up the second this transition takes place.
