Ah the time has COME, my friends, for something a little spooky and sweet!

Just yesterday we speculated that Bongos, the Cuban-inspired Disney Springs restaurant owned by iconic singer Gloria Estefan, would close next week, and today we have confirmation that, indeed, the restaurant will close on August 18th.

Sometimes, you may feel like there’s no way to keep track of all the exciting events happening from August 23rd through August 25th. Don’t worry, friends! The official D23 Expo app is available for mobile download!
We definitely wouldn’t mind this being on our honey-dew list for the week!
Rancho Del Zocalo
Smoothies, shakes, boozy beverages — sometimes you just want to sweeten up your day with something light and fresh. And, after seeing the newest drink in Disneyland, you might be craving a little bit of fruity flavor too! The Honeydew Agua Fresca is now available at Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante!
The D23 Expo is just days away, and loads of exciting events are coming to the Anaheim Convention Center-held Expo this year! Disney will bring exclusive looks at movies like Frozen 2 and Onward, first peeks at (and sign-ups for) Disney+, and more (check out the schedule of events here!). And now we know National Geographic will debut an exclusive sneak peek at its scripted series The Right Stuff on August 24th!
