Hey theme park enthusiasts and food lovers! My name is Alexandra, and I am thrilled to welcome you to Theme Park Bites, your ultimate guide to the tantalizing world of theme park food. Picture a place where roller coasters and delectable treats intertwine, creating a mouthwatering adventure unlike any other. That’s precisely what Theme Park Bites is all about—a celebration of the extraordinary fusion of thrilling experiences and irresistible gastronomy found within theme parks around the world (but for now, the United States).
Discovering My Passion
From a young age, I found myself captivated by the magical ambiance of theme parks. I grew up in the Bronx and my summers were filled with trips to Rye Playland and Dorney Park. It wasn’t until I was in my early 20s that I stepped foot into Walt Disney World in Florida that the thrilling rides, enchanting atmospheres, and immersive storytelling ignited an unquenchable “theme park wanderlust” within me. Equally captivating was the wide array of culinary delights offered within the vibrant epicenter of EPCOT. Whether it was savoring a mouthwatering breakfast at Akershus or indulging in a gourmet feast at Restaurant Marrakesh, I realized that theme park food had the power to elevate the entire experience.
The Birth of Theme Park Bites
Driven by my love for both theme parks and food over the years, I decided to embark on a flavorful journey and create Theme Park Bites back in 2021. This year, 2023, I decided to fully commit myself to TPB. This platform is a culmination of my passion for exploring the unique and diverse food offerings within theme parks. I aim to bring you a treasure trove of insights, recommendations, and delectable discoveries that will enhance your own theme park adventures.
What to Expect
At Theme Park Bites, you can expect a mix of reviews, expert tips, food guides, and much more. I’ll dive headfirst into the world of theme park cuisine, uncovering hidden gems, sharing iconic treats, and providing valuable advice to help you make the most of your dining experiences. Whether you’re seeking the perfect slice of pizza, the tastiest dessert, or a specialty dish that caters to your dietary needs, Theme Park Bites has you covered.
Beyond the Plates
Theme Park Bites goes beyond just the plates and culinary adventures. I’ll also do my best to delve into the rich culture, history, and captivating stories behind these food offerings. I want to grow this space where you gain insight through interviews with industry experts, profiles of talented chefs, and behind-the-scenes glimpses, as I want us to explore the fascinating world that intertwines theme parks, gastronomy, and creativity. But that will take time and a lot of trust for me to get to this stage and so my expectation for this part of the website to take awhile to build out, so I ask for patience.
