Premise

Each episode of the show features two families that compete to see which one of them can make the best dish based on a character they have met in each of their visits at Walt Disney World, where they get inspiration on what to prepare. Each character they meet gives them hints on what apparently they like to eat. After their visits, they meet in the kitchen where Kinsey gives the families 60 minutes to prepare and make a dish. Each episode has a "Garden Game", where a family can win a golden Magic Spoon to receive an option of either extra time, extra help, putting the other team in time out, or putting the choice in their hands, aka a "special wish advantage".

After the challenge is over, a chef from a restaurant in Disney World determines which dish is the best, and the winning team of each challenge gets a chance to win a Disney Cruise Line vacation to the Bahamas, as well as a chance for their dish to be served in a restaurant in the Disney Parks.
