food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT Resorts!
Strawberry and Champagne Cupcake
And, we’ve got plenty of food and crowd updates from New Year’s Day to share with you. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
We’ve officially changed over the calendar year and we’re kicking off the year by sharing what’s new at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
While you’re still trying to figure out how to turn the ’20’ in 2020 into ’21’ on everything you write, here’s all the new things you can find at Disney World’s shopping and dining district!
It’s no secret that we have some favorite snacks at Disney World, and we’re always sad when they go away, even temporarily!
Trolley Car Cafe
We’ve been a fan of the Carrot Cake Cookie since we discovered it at Writer’s Stop at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It later turned up at Sweet Spells. Now that both locations are gone, though, we see it often at the Trolley Car Cafe.
When it comes to unique ice cream flavors, Downtown Disney’s Salt & Straw comes up with some super interesting combinations — spiked eggnog ice cream anyone?
Salt & Straw
We also loved the holiday flavors the shop released in December! But for the New Year, Salt & Straw is introducing its Vegandulgence flavors, which are 100% plant-based!
Save the date! The Food & Wine Classic at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is officially scheduled to return in 2021!
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort
Many Disney World guests look forward to checking out the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival each year. But did you know there’s another must-do foodie event within walking distance to EPCOT??
One thing that we’ve done a lot of in 2020 is channel our inner Remy by doing a lot of baking AND cooking!
Buon Appetito Mickey Kitchen Collection
And to assist us with our cooking needs, Disney has released lots of new kitchen gear! We’re checking out a few items that can help you level up your kitchen the Disney way!
Gideon’s Bakehouse, the newest spot in Disney Springs, has FINALLY opened!
Hello Gargoyle!
Gideon’s Bakehouse shared that it would have a soft opening beginning on December 23rd. We’ve been (im)patiently awaiting this opening for a while now, and we are so thrilled to finally get our hands on these cookies!! One of the things we’ve been most looking forward to following the opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse is its Hot Cookie Hour. Sound intriguing? We thought so, too!
If you’re looking for a delicious cocktail in Disney World, there are plenty of great options to be found in Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
One spot you may want to stop on your Disney Springs cocktail crawl is the Coca-Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar, where guests can enjoy some awesome views along with their beverages.
December has been full of restaurant reopenings, menu changes, and a brand new cookie joint at Disney Springs!
Cinderella’s Royal Table
And we’ve been covering it all to keep you updated. But if you’ve missed some announcements specifically about menu changes and updates, here are all the menu updates we’ve seen this past month!
EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays may be over, but we’re gearing up for the next big festival, which begins next week!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts Map
The Festival of the Arts starts on January 8th, and we’re pretty stoked to see the return of the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine as part of the celebration!
