WHO ARE WE?
Kristen Hoetzel-Go – Owner/Editor and Podcaster
Kristen’s favorite part about visiting the Disney Parks… you’ve guessed it – THE FOOD. She’s been visiting the parks since 1991 and many years is there 6 or 7 times for anywhere from 5 to 14 days.
She started back in 2007 writing reviews for a message board – Sorcerer Radio and in February 2008, started a series of cooking videos to show how to make your favorite Disney recipes. In 2009, she launched her first Disney food related blog which included Disney recipes (and some of her own), reviews of food and restaurants at Disney World, information on restaurants and monthly series from guest writers (Top 5, Disney-themed recipes and advice from a Disney mom about dining with kids). All of these experiences led to the launch of Dining at Disney in June 2012 and podcast in 2015.
Cat Arcori – Dining at Disney Co-Host
A gluten-free Disney foodie, who’s been visiting the parks for 30 years and snacking her way through allergy friendly finds for just as long. Cat is local to Disneyland but considers Walt Disney World to be her second home. At Disneyland, she loves pickles, Safari Skewers, and Matterhorn macaroons! At Walt Disney World, she loves Citrus Swirl, kakigori, and the Brown Derby Cobb!
