food IS a theme park
You might be thinking that the busiest place in Disney World is potentially Magic Kingdom, or maybe Disney’s Hollywood Studios with everyone trying to spend their time in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Disney Springs
But, today things might be a little different! Today, the busiest place in ALL of Disney World might just be…a Disney Springs restaurant?
Mark your calendars — Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will reopen to guests on April 30th, 2021! Over a year after the park closures began, we’ll finally be able to once again ride our favorite rides, wave to our favorite characters, and eat our favorite dishes!

In addition to all of the Dole Whip and Corn Dogs we’re going to eat when the parks reopen, we’re also looking forward to revisiting some of our favorite restaurants!
Gideon’s Bakehouse made its debut in Disney Springs at the beginning of the year and they’ve established themselves as one buzzworthy bakery!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Maybe it’s the HALF-pound cookies or the GIANT slices of cake. Or, maybe it’s the fact that you can get a TUB of icing and specialty cold brews. It’s really got a LOT going for it. And, one of the best ways to find out what’s baking behind the scenes is to follow Gideon’s on Instagram! We’ve been following along and today we got a peek inside!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has some pretty interesting eats.
Galaxy’s Edge
From Blue and Green Milk to the ever-loved Ronto Wrap, eating your way around the land of Batuu can be a total adventure. Today, we caught wind of TWO new wraps over at Ronto Roasters and now we’re giving one of them a try.
The EPCOT entrance area has already gotten some seriously MASSIVE upgrades.
Jaw. Dropping. Beauty.
First, there’s the new entrance fountain, which lights up beautifully. Then, we’ve got the new flags and the new entrance music. And not too long ago we got to see those incredible new lights all around the entrance area that make this spot truly SPECTACULAR at night. But, this whole area will soon be getting ANOTHER new addition!
Have you paid a visit to Disney World’s newest land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge?
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
There are tons of things to see and do in the land, from building lightsabers to piloting the Millennium Falcon. Batuu is also known for having some of the coolest souvenirs around — Jedi robes, droids, and all kinds of fun toys. Today, one of the land’s most popular items returned…the space sporks!
There is no doubt that St. Patrick’s day is in full swing over at Disney World today.
Amorette’s
Most people celebrate this little holiday by wearing something green to work and maybe grabbing a green beer. But, not Disney! Green has taken over the food scene! So far we’ve tried green margaritas, green donuts, and green coffee — and that’s just today! Next up our tour of St. Patty’s Day treats is taking us over to Disney Springs!
There is a LOT of construction going on all around EPCOT right now as part of the EPCOT Transformation.
France Pavilion
Over in the France pavilion specifically, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction going on in the expansion area. We’ll soon be able to ride on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and devour some delicious crepes at Le Creperie de Paris when both open in October of this year. But that’s not the only work being done in this pavilion. Today we spotted some more construction going on in this spot.
It’s St. Patrick’s Day and that means we’ve got some very FUN little celebrations.
Clover Sugar Cookie with Green Sprinkles
Two things that St. Patrick’s Day tends to bring are green eats and treats and BEER. Well, what happens when you COMBINE these two pieces of St. Patrick’s Day? We found out!
Between all the green food, treats, and drinks we’ve been trying at Disney World, we wouldn’t be surprised if we turned green ourselves by the end of the week.
Mexico Pavilion
But, hey, it’s St. Patrick’s Day so we don’t mind the green takeover! And, between bites of corned beef and cabbage and sips of green-colored slush, we found time to stop into one of our favorite bars at EPCOT and order up a margarita with a St. Patty’s Day twist!
