food IS a theme park
Cookie-lovers! We’ve got news! As you’ve probably noticed, we are VERY excited about the upcoming Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs.
Gideon’s Bakehouse Construction
This spot is known for some MASSIVE and DELICIOUS cookies and now we KNOW it will open before the end of the year – with holiday cookies!
‘Tis the season to eat all the festive eats and drink all the festive drinks, are we right?
Starbucks Holiday Cup
We’ve already tried a LOT of the holiday drinks at Starbucks throughout Disney Parks, but we saw one returning item that we just HAD to try out today at Starbucks at Disney Springs Marketplace!
We love how quickly Disney World puts up its holiday decorations. We are always awed by the amount of work that goes into getting all the holiday decor up for the first official day of the season.
Pluto Tree at Disney Springs
And although each park slowly gets decorations before the official start of the holidays, it’s the overnight work the day before that is truly magical!
It’s the holiday season in Disney World and you KNOW what that means…LOTS and LOTS of Holiday treats!
Chocolate Peppermint Creme Brulee
Move over milk and cookies, we’re eating our way through Chocolate Peppermint Creme Brûlées, a holiday cupcake with a hidden Mickey inside, and so much more! But how can you keep track of ALL the delicious treats and which ones you totally MUST try during your upcoming holiday trip in Disney World? That’s where our DFB-Exclusive Holiday Treats Printable comes in!
Gooooooooood morning! We’ve got some Disney Springs updates!
Disney Springs
We took a stroll around Disney Springs yesterday to see what exciting happenings are going down at our favorite shopping and dining complex. Well, we didn’t find too much new but we did find some FOOD UPDATES — that’s the best kind!
While all of Disney World’s reopened restaurants now feature similar health and safety measures, such as distanced tables, QR code menus, and increased sanitization, a few dining locations have really stood out to us as examples of the BEST of Disney World dining post-closures. Some may offer outdoor dining, while others may be rare character interaction opportunities, but in our minds, a few deserve a shout out.
Wine Bar George Bar Seating
If you have a trip to Disney World coming up and you’re looking for some table service ideas, we have ten restaurants that we think you should consider! Depending on your travel party’s preferences or level of comfort, each of these locations has at least one great thing going for them in a reopened World!
Lately, we’ve seen a LOT of Marvel merchandise in the parks and online.
Avengers Watches
Even though we’ve seen some dazzling watches and Marvel holiday cheer, we can’t help but be drawn towards Black Widow’s merchandise! While we wait for the upcoming Black Widow film to be released in 2021, we can celebrate with these NEW limited release Black Widow pins!
Even though the Florida temperatures are still hanging out in the 80s, we’ve seen lots of new wintery merchandise at Walt Disney World!
Orange Corduroy Ears
Sweatshirts, fuzzy spirit jerseys, and all kinds of cold-weather accessories are all over the shelves in Disney gift shops. Even if it’s not anywhere close to being cold outside, all this new merch is certainly getting us in the holiday spirit, and that’s certainly the case with Disney’s new buffalo plaid line! We can’t wait to pair this stuff with our new Buffalo Plaid Ears!
D-Luxe Burger is a great spot for an affordable bite in Disney Springs!
D-Luxe Burger in Disney Springs
Serving up some crazy burgers, a delicious chicken sandwich, and several flavors of artisanal gelato shakes, this place has typically been a step above regular quick service offerings in Disney World. And for the holidays this year, they’ve added two items to their menu: the Holiday Turkey Burger and the Eggnog Gelato Shake. We headed over to D-Luxe to see what we thought of these options!
There have been oodles of holiday treats rolling into Disney World recently, especially in the food-lover’s paradise of Disney Springs!
Red Velvet Yule Log from Amorette’s Patisserie
We’ve seen tons of sweets: yule logs, crème brûlées, and dome cakes included. But where should you go if you want a savory holiday snack? The Daily Poutine of course! They’ve brought back their Thanksgiving dish, the turkey poutine and we’re giving it a try today. We’ve had it in the past, but will it be as good as we remember? Let’s find out!
