food IS a theme park
The parks of Disney World will be re-opening again soon!
Pin Traders
While we’re looked forward to waving to Joy and Sadness during the Pixar Character Cavalcade, we are also ready to add to a new addition to our wardrobe!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
World of Disney
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, and construction updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
City Works Eatery and Pour House has re-opened in Disney Springs (with TWO spicy dishes!).
City Works
While the restaurant has already rolled out a To-Go Window so you can grab a beer or cocktail before exploring Disney Springs, there was another new addition to the restaurant today!
While we’ve been dining at places like Wine Bar George or popping over to the World of Disney for a shopping spree, we’re ready to keep adding to our Minnie ears collection!
World of Disney
Even though you may not be able to pin trade in the usual way at Disney World for the time being, we found a way to show off your collection of pins and your ears at the same time!
Although Disney Springs has reopened with comprehensive health and safety regulations, situations in the shopping and dining district are constantly changing and evolving.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar Closed
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, Dockside Margaritas, and Rustic Cuff have all suddenly closed this week. And another Disney Springs store has unexpectedly shut its doors to guests this weekend as well.

Garden Grill Restaurant
While you know our affinity for spots like Wine Bar George (thank goodness the flaming cheese is back) and Garden Grill, there are a few restaurants around the parks we are missing more than we thought we would!

The bakeshop is known for oversized cookies, specialty coffee, and uniquely tasty cakes. Gideon’s announced that they will be serving up LOT of their popular Cake Slices at the new Disney Springs location!

Christmas comes year-round at the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. This cheery little shop has finally re-opened along with the rest of Disney Springs AND they got some new decorations to add to your collection!
Jungle Cruise
Christmas is six months away, but we think this a great time to stock up on holiday cheer! On our latest visit, we spotted some NEW and quirky ornaments based on Walt Disney World’s Jungle Cruise. These cuties would make Dr. Albert Falls proud.
