Dinner at Enchanted Garden

Enchanted Garden just might be our favorite rotational dining restaurant located on the Disney Dream for its atmosphere and for excellent meal options. On our recent 3-day cruise on the Disney Dream in January 2020, Enchanted Garden was our rotational dining for the final night of of our cruise. Both Brandon and I had been looking forward to it, and I was especially looking forward to the new allergy-friendly menu options there.

Lunch at Cookie’s BBQ

Cookie’s BBQ located on Castaway Cay is the main restaurant on Disney’s private island. There are two other dining locations: Cookie’s Too and Serenity Bay BBQ that also provide guests with meals during their visit on Castaway Cay. On our recent cruise in January 2020, we enjoyed a lunch at Cookie’s BBQ, which is the recommended location for all guests with special dietary needs (because it’s the location that accommodates pre-ordered meals). We always look forward to a BBQ lunch at Cookie’s!

Dinner at Homecomin’ Kitchen

Homecomin’ Kitchen, located in Disney Springs, is one of those restaurants that I rarely go to. Not because it’s not good. But, because it’s so popular that it’s hard to get a reservation or be able to dine here as a “walk-up.” Brandon and I have tried to eat at Homecomin’ nearly a half a dozen times without success. On this visit, we stopped by in January later in the evening and were pleasantly surprised that the walk-up wait time was only 20-30 minutes. So, we decided it was finally time to have a meal there together, because while I had been there several times, Brandon had never eaten there.

Dinner at Regal Eagle Smokehouse

A salute to all foods, but mostly BBQ. That’s what we were looking forward to with the newly opened Regal Eagle Smokehouse in the America Adventure Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. Brandon and I had been both excited and a little worried to see what was in store for this quick service location that was once Liberty Inn. And, about a week after opening, we had a chance to check it out.

*This information comes from the Festival Passports handed out at the festival and was made available online at WDW’s website prior to the festival opening (and may be subject to change). As always, guests should consult each booth for ingredients or for other special dietary needs. Because of the booth space, cross contamination is of higher risk for guests consuming gluten free ingredients.
