Do you ever feel guilty about biting the ears off a premium Mickey ice cream bar?
Premium Mickey Ice Cream Bar at Disney World
From Mickey-shaped waffles, to pretzels, krispy treats, cinnamon rolls, we sometimes feel bad about eating our best pal!
There’s a whole lot of activity happening at Disney Springs! Since its phased reopening began back in May, we’ve followed the progress on the new Shine Bar & Social at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin, as well as the construction happening on the new Gideon’s Bakehouse!

We’re also closely monitoring the progress on the upcoming M&M’s Store, which is slated to open this year!
Are the Haunted Mansion Crocs ACTUALLY BACK in Disney World? Or is it your imagination?
Stretching Room
Well, yeah, they are actually back! You might remember when a reader tipped us off to these frightful shoes recently, but we’ve been having a hard time finding them in the parks — until TODAY, that is! Get ready for some ghoulish delights! We spotted the Haunted Mansion Wallpaper Crocs back in stock in Disney World — but they’re going FAST.
We’ve enjoyed our fair share of brunchy delights at Homecomin’s Rise & Shine brunch and Raglan Road’s rollicking weekend brunch (complete with Irish dancers and some pretty bangin’ pork hash!).
House of Blues
But now we’re getting ready to kick up our heels at House of Blues Restaurant & Bar in Disney Springs ’cause they’ll be offering a brand new brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays soon, and we’ve got ALL the delicious deets!

AMC Theater in Disney Springs
With several rounds of postponements on the reopening, we’ve been curious about when going to the movies would be an option again in Disney World. Now, the AMC location in Disney Springs has an official reopening date — and tickets are going to be JUST 15 CENTS on opening day.
Disney Springs began its phased reopening on May 20th.
Disney Springs
At first, only a few third-party restaurants and shops reopened, but in the following weeks several other businesses including Disney-owned locations began welcoming back guests. Earlier this week, we reported The Edison, Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, and Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar and Restaurant would be reopening for the first time today since they shut down last March.
It’s getting harder and HARDER to contain our pure cookie joy over the new Gideon’s Bakehouse that’s coming soon to Disney Springs!

We’ve been pretty amped up about the new location which will offer timed cookie drops, giant cake slices, and an explosion of artist collabs when it opens — like these handmade Gideon’s mugs they’re selling at their Orlando shop right now!
The last time we tried the Chef’s Special at The Polite Pig in Disney Springs, we were treated to a trough FULL of tasty Shrimp and Grits — which you can read our review of here!
