food IS a theme park
It’s time to take a stroll around the shops and restaurants at Disney Springs!
Everglazed Donuts & Coldbrew at Disney Springs
We spotted some new merchandise and a drink special update! Take a look at what’s happening in the shopping and dining center of Disney World.
Who’s ready for cozy, home-cooked Italian meal?
Mama Melrose’s
We recently made our way over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to have just that. Other standouts in the park, like 50s Prime Time Cafe and The Hollywood Brown Derby, tend to be locations that pop to mind first when in this park, and one spot, in particular, has a tendency to be overlooked. It has been quite a while since we’ve dined at Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano so we set out to see what has been going on in this cozy corner of Hollywood Studios. Though we’ve had mixed reviews in the past, we’re back to see how it has been holding up!
Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs is home to a lot of sweet treats and delicious coffees.
Vivoli il Gelato
The gelato shop has recently added a new, seasonal flavor, and is even offering a morning “happy hour” for all your breakfast needs! We noticed some changes to the menu and we’re here to share all of them with you!
Back in October, we got confirmation of a reimagined Disney parks special, as well as a Disney Singalong.
Christmas Decorations in Magic Kingdom
While the Singalong has already premiered on ABC with a fantastic line-up, Disney has just released the performers that will be featured on the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration!
It’s the season of gift-giving, which means it’s also the season for BIG savings!
Soul Merchandise
We saw tons of Black Friday sales, Cyber Monday sales, and other deals in between, and now another site is getting in on the savings with the lowest prices of the year!
Disney Springs is FULL of incredible shops and restaurants.
City Works
With all of these restaurants comes a variety of different menus and different cuisines! And while sports bar flavors may not be the most unique, City Works in Disney Springs has just revealed a great new grab & go menu!
This past week, a stay-at-home order was mandated for Southern California following ICU capacities dropping below 15%.
California State Order Sign
For Downtown Disney, this mandate has resulted in retail shops only being allowed to operate at 20% capacity and all food and beverages purchased must be consumed off-property. Today, Orange County and Anaheim set a record for most single-day cases recorded.
It’s a shame that the only time of the year we get to eat a lot of gingerbread snacks is during the holidays — we would totally eat them year-round!
P & J’s Southern Takeout
But the good news is that there are plenty of gingerbread treats available to Disney World guests this time of year, and we’ve tried a lot of them. Some of these festive holiday snacks include a gingerbread muffin, gingerbread churros, and gingerbread cookies.
Many of the guests who visit Disney World travel through Orlando International Airport (MCO).
Orlando Airport
Some airports have already begun offering COVID-19 testing on-site. And soon, Orlando International Airport will join the list of locations offering tests for passengers.
Christmas is right around the corner, and if you still need to do some holiday shopping, we’ve got you covered!
DFB Merch
You can still get something for that Disney fan in your life from the DFB Store. But you better hurry because today is the last day to order something and get it in time for Christmas!
