We’ve got lots of new stuff coming your way from our stroll through Disney Springs today. Soon, you’ll be seeing some new goodies at Uniqlo, and we just brought you a sundae custom-made for Chocolate Lovers at Ghirardelli.
Ghirardelli Midnight Reverie Sundae
But among all the new fun finds, we couldn’t help but notice something missing. Actually, make that a few things, as a couple of major components are missing from a counter service spot that has long been serving guests in the Disney Springs Marketplace… [Read more…]
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort will reopen to guests on October 14th.
Disney’s Coronado Springs
You may recall that just last summer, the addition of the Gran Destino Tower brought new dining options (along with over 500 rooms) to this Resort. And today brings news about which dining locations — both in the Tower and throughout the rest of the Resort — will reopen to guests at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort next week. [Read more…]
ICYMI, The Lunching Pad reopened TODAY in Magic Kingdom! This spot is back to its usual duties of serving counter service eats to guests who have blasted into Tomorrowland.
The Lunching Pad
There are no major changes to the menu to report upon reopening… and that’s not a bad thing at all, when you consider that The Lunching Pad serves — among other items — the Pepper Jack Warm Stuffed Pretzel AND the Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel! Join us as we check out the newly reopened Lunching Pad, and grab a pretzel (and more) while we’re at it! [Read more…]

GREETINGS from the DFB — and a few of our friends — in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom Character Flotilla

Guests at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge have an extra treat to look forward to this Halloween season at the Resort!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
During our visit to the Lodge yesterday, we discovered the Wilderness Lodge Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt, simply perfect for the Spooky Season! If you’ve ever stayed at Wilderness Lodge, you may be familiar with the popular Hidden Mickey Hunt here (which, for future reference, offers a ton of year-round fun). The Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt is a similar concept… only instead of our pal, Mickey, you’ll be searching for pumpkins featuring those famous Disney Villains! [Read more…]
Yes, it’s officially autumn. And yes… it’s also just over 90 degrees in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom today.
Fall Decorations in Magic Kingdom
So, as you can imagine, we were in search of a nice, cold cup of ice water during our visit! Typically, many counter service locations offer cups of ice water by request. However, in some cases you’ll notice that things have changed… though, the MAIN thing hasn’t: you CAN still get free ice water in the Disney World theme parks. However, we wanted to give you a little heads up on the process for your next visit. [Read more…]
It’s always nice to come home, isn’t it? We’re talking, of course, about Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs!
Homecomin’
We’ve enjoyed “coming home” to the spot since it reopened this summer. Homecomin’ has been serving a limited menu during its initial reopening phase (though it’s still been filled with goodies like Cheddar Drop Biscuits, Art’s Famous Fried Chicken, and Hummingbird Cake). But now we’ve got news that some well-loved dishes have decided to “come home,” too, so to speak… as several favorites are now back on the menu at Homecomin’! [Read more…]
