food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re ready to see what’s new in Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, construction, and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
Although we can’t pass up dessert in Disney Springs, we’ve been missing those AMAZING Gideon’s chocolate chip cookies since they disappeared from The Polite Pig.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Buuut, they’ll be making their way back in the shopping and dining district (along with a whole bunch of other goodies) when the official Gideon’s Bakehouse store opens later this year! While the bakery has taken over Rustic Cuff’s previous location, we’ve been keeping an eye on Gideon’s progress as signage pops up and pastry chefs are announced!
Love LEGO toys and brick sets?
Building the Millennium Falcon
Then you’re in luck! The LEGO Store is open in Disney Springs and we’re even getting a LEGO Star Wars holiday special on Disney+ soon! We stopped by the Disney Springs LEGO Store recently and saw some incredible new outdoor sculptures. You’ve got to check them out!
Yep, we think we’ll be hanging on to this pin!
Trader Sam’s Menu
Is anyone else missing Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort as much as we are?? If so, we found a tiny trinket to give you a little touch of tiki in your life!
We’ve found some awesome new additions in Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
From super stylish new Vera Bradley face masks to artwork featuring some of our favorite Disney snacks, we’ve found a treasure trove of new merchandise around Disney Springs today! And we still have MORE to share!
We hope our families and significant others love us for richer or poorer because we may or may not be spending buckets of money on new Haunted Mansion merchandise!
Haunted Mansion Loungefly Bags
Minnie ears, Crocs, dresses — we’re basically turning into one of the Happy Haunts! For those who love the original mansion out in Disneyland Park in California, we’ve spotted a special treat for you at a spot in Disney Springs!
One of our favorite spots to grab unique Disney World souvenirs is WonderGround Gallery at Marketplace Co-Op in Disney Springs.
Marketplace Co-op
We all know that “when there’s trouble, you call DW.” So who are we supposed to call when there’s super cool Darkwing Duck merchandise at Disney World?
When Disney Springs first reopened to Guests on May 20 (can you believe it’s been almost 3 months?), Vera Bradley was the ONLY location selling face masks!
Vera Bradley
On our most recent trip to Disney Springs, we stopped by Vera Bradley once more to see if face masks were still available. Sure enough, you can still be safe AND stylish with an assortment of designs available for purchase!
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!
