food IS a theme park
If your New Year’s Resolution was to cut back on frosting, then we’ve got GREAT news for you.
Sprinkles Entrance
Starting tomorrow, January 4, Sprinkles in Disney World is releasing a NEW limited edition treat that offers a fun twist on the classic Banana Cupcakes.
Back in March 2020, we got our first peek at the new Cirque du Soleil show, Drawn To Life, which was originally set to premiere at Disney Springs in April of last year.

However, the show eventually canceled all performances due to the global health crisis. After Disney World’s closure and reopening, the show’s premiere date was pushed to November 5th, and then pushed again later to November 17th 2020.
Welcome back, DFB friends, and Happy New Year!
World of Disney at Disney Springs
We spent a day at Disney Springs to see what’s new, and we found some new merch, ate some cookies, and checked out some brand new Valentine’s Day cards! Also, Disney Springs has resumed its pre-holiday hours and is now open from 10PM to 10PM Sunday through Thursday and 10PM to 11PM Friday through Sunday.
UPDATE: Gideon’s Bakehouse released an update to discuss the reasoning for the closure. The statement says, “We are still in a soft opening mode. We’ve learned a great deal over our holiday test run and are so grateful to everyone for making it such an overwhelming success! Our opening was beyond our expectations, so we are putting on the brakes to deal with behind-the-scenes logistics ahead of the grand opening.”
On December 23rd, Disney Springs gained a new cookie spot — Gideon’s Bakehouse!

This is no ordinary bakery, however, as they offer huge cookies and specials, like the Hot Cookie Hour. However, today it was announced that Gideon’s Bakehouse would temporarily close.
We’ve officially changed over the calendar year and we’re kicking off the year by sharing what’s new at Disney Springs!

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!

Coffee Toffee Cookie at Gideon’s
We’re talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse. A legitimate cookie haven that serves 1/2 pound cookies the size of your face. We’re in love, we’re in love, and we don’t care who knows it! Ok, we won’t get too ahead of ourselves. They’re good cookies, but we still have a lot to say about them! Today is the first day of the month and that means a NEW cookie was released at Gideon’s. The bakehouse will release limited-time cookies every month for guests to try out. We headed back to CookieLand, USA to review the newest cookie and taste a few more surprise items!
