We’re back with another What’s New at Disney Springs, everybody! We have lots of drinks, clothing, and even a new store opening to share with ya, so let’s get started!
NBA Experience Store at Disney Springs
Disney Springs Entertainment Update
Can you believe we are only five days out from the release of The Lion King?!
The Lion King Poster at AMC
AMC is now featuring the movie poster on its display wall so visitors can stop by and take a photo. We’re getting major “remember who you are” vibes from this gorgeous backdrop of Mufasa and Simba in front of the African sun.
Disney Springs Food Update
Speaking of The Lion King…
The Lion King Petit Cake at Amorette’s Patisserie
Amorette’s has the CUTEST The Lion King Petit Cake in-store!
Inside of the Cake
While we’ve stopped by to try the vanilla and chocolate chiffon cakes layered with amarula mousse, pineapple jam, chocolate covered potato chips, and buttercream, there is now a sign out front advertising its arrival. Click here to read our FULL REVIEW — and find out whether or not potato chips should be included in your next cake recipe… .

We happen to think ice cream pairs very well with cake here at DFB. That’s why we think you should pop on over to AristoCrêpes for the Bubble Waffle Trophy!
Bubble Waffle Trophy Menu
The Salted Caramel and Strawberry Family Challenges are a great way to bond with your loved ones. Or, if you want an entire Bubble Waffle to yourself (same here), you can get your own individual confection in a cup.

Are you able to Wreck-It?
Strawberry Bubble Waffle Trophy
This has been the summer of classic childhood sequels. Toy Story 4 opened in June, taking us on another journey with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang as they try to recover Bonnie’s latest toy, Forky.
Souvenir Toy Story 4 Boot Cup
After the excitement of being able to say “There’s a Dole Whip in my boot!” with the Bonnie Boot at Marketplace Snacks, the Sheriff Woody inspired item quickly sold out.
Bonnie’s Name on the Bottom of the Boot
But, no need to worry, partner! They’re back and ready for some rope wrangling action! YEE-HAW!
Sheriff Woody’s Boot
Ice cream has that unique ability to make you thirsty immediately after eating it. It’s the perfect excuse, though, to grab a Starbucks drink, especially since they have Toy Story 4 Frappuccinos and Refreshers!
Starbucks Toy Story 4 Menu
We’re about to slink on over and try that Dog Dash Frappuccino. Maybe we’ll even snag the limited time only Tie Dye Frappuccino too!
Coca Cola Store Rooftop Bar Area
Wanting something a little stronger than a frappe? The Coca Cola Store Rooftop Bar is offering their Drink of the Month, the Simply Razzle Dazzle.
The combination of the Fanta Blue Icee, Simply Lemonade, Evan Williams Peach, and Evan Williams Cherry is a perfect way to cool down in the Orlando heat!
(Also, Blue Icees happen to be our favorite!!)
Disney Springs Merchandise Update
Marketplace Co-op in Disney Springs
Who wants to go on a shopping spree with us?? All of the ADORABLE merch items for sale have given us some serious Disney Shopping Fever (yes, we think this is definitely a real condition!)
The Dress Shop Minnie Dress
A favorite past-time of ours is whirling and twirling in dresses from The Dress Shop. Their vintage designs make us feel like classic Disney Princesses whenever we put them on!
The Minnie Dress Display
Currently, they’re featuring the Minnie Dress and the Toy Story 4 Dress. Seriously… Every time they release a new dress, we want to break our piggy banks and buy one (sorry, Hamm!).
The Toy Story 4 Dress
Magic Bands, bracelets, and ears — The Little Mermaid is extremely popular right now, considering the 30th anniversary of the film this year! (But peep that typo on the purple vest!)
The Little Mermaid Display at Disney Style
At the Disney Style store, there is an entire area dedicated to our favorite redhead. Ariel gets her own soft hair by brushing it with a Dinglehopper (hair goalsss!!). Now, you can keep a miniature one next to your other thingamabobs with the Dinglehopper Keychain.
The Dinglehopper Keychain
Accompanying the mug we found at Big Top Souvenirs, there is a new “The Girl Who Has Everything” Cup! More room for Starbucks drinks, please???
“The Girl Who Has Everything” Cup
A Cute New Addition to Our Collection
The Mermaid Leggings swam into the store as well, making a shimmery debut. (Why do I love these so much??)
Mermaid Leggings
The leggings perfectly pair with the Mermaid Shirt! With those two pieces, we’re all set for a mermaid Disneybound!!
The Little Mermaid Shirt
Uniqlo is going all out on their displays too, showing off their roaring The Lion King Collection.
Uniqlo Lion King Collection
In our humble opinion, the Pocket Tees are absolutely the best shirts being offered at the store! But you can click here and see ’em ALL!
Lion King Collection
The World of Disney has a whole lot of goodies packed on its shelves.
Balloon Leggings
While we know we look totally amazing in leggings, we are sure you do too!
Tea Cup Leggings
And, there are SO MANY LEGGINGS (we’re not complaining!) to pick from right now at the World of Disney store.
It’s A Small World Leggings
Ride themed, Mickey themed…
Mickey Leggings
And, our OBVIOUS favorite here at the Disney Food Blog:
Disney Snack Leggings
Snack themed leggings!! Now, we really want a churro…
Walt Disney World Logo Shirts and Jackets
The men’s section is also getting some new additions!
Men’s Logo Apparel
Namely, there are some new shirts and jackets with the Walt Disney World logo on them. BUT, there is also a Navy Blue Spirit Jersey available.
Navy Blue Spirit Jersey
We think this would go super well with…
Junk Food Hats
The latest Junk Food Hats!
Balloon Visor
The Walt Disney World themed hats are an adorable way to accentuate your love for the parks, on top of the leggings or the logo apparel!
Postcard Hat
The Postcard Hat is a reminder of the place you love the most! And Home is where the heart is with the new Magic Kingdom Hat.
Magic Kingdom Hat
And, there’s even a little nod to the different lands on the sides too! We’ll take 10!!!
Side of the Magic Kingdom Hat
Bright, cheery, and colorful like Disney World itself, the Colorful Walt Disney World Hat uses a logo and lettering that resembles “it’s a small world.”
Colorful Walt Disney World Hat
Back of the Colorful Walt Disney World Hat
Perhaps the rarer find is a Junk Food Hat dedicated to Flower from Bambi. We think Flower is one of the sweetest Disney characters EVER and deserves more merch (#justiceforflower!).
Flower Hat
Although we spotted it in Animal Kingdom first, The Lion King VHS Phone Case is at World of Disney, too!
The Lion King VHS Phone Case
We also happened to find a new Mickey Mouse Sketchbook, complete with animations of Mickey from different cartoons. To all the artists out there, you could end up sketching the next big thing, just like Walt himself did!

Last, but certainly not least, the NBA Experience Store has finally opened in Disney Springs!

This is an interactive shopping experience particularly aimed at basketball fans (and those who love them).

In case anyone is wondering, those new leggings are very soft and don’t feel heavy. I saw them in DS on Saturday. Def gonna buy a pair at some point
Thanks, Kelly Jeanne!
Wow, AJ, the Mermaid cups are really pretty. Do they still have the bottles with the fans on them? That was one of the best souvenirs I ever had , but I dropped it and, well, it but the dust, so to speak…
Essie, they do! They recently redesigned it! Now Ariel sits in her shell on top!
I’m DYING over those Ariel leggings and shirt! how can find out if they have the size I want and how/where to get them without coming to WDW? I’m not expecting to come until late in the Epcot F&WF or Christmas seasons.
Lorraine, ShopDisney does not yet have the Little Mermaid leggings (I just checked), but they’ve added a lot of the other leggings that came out recently, so hopefully they’ll appear soon!
