food IS a theme park
Disney Springs’ new drone show LOOKS INCREDIBLE.

We’ve known for a while now that Disney Springs would be home to a brand new nighttime drone show – Disney Dreams That Soar – beginning this summer. Now, we’ve gotten an exclusive peek at the show thanks to one of our readers.
Is there a better way to commemorate your time in Disney World than with a new souvenir (or a few)?
Disney Springs
If you’re anything like us, it’s probably a good idea to budget for all the souvenirs you and your family are likely to take home. And while you can get these souvenirs in the park, another great place to do your shopping is over in Disney Springs. Here you’ll find World of Disney, the giant Disney store that has nearly everything you can imagine. But there’s one hidden souvenir in Disney Springs that we bet you didn’t know about, and it is quite possibly the best custom souvenir we’ve ever seen in Disney World.
One of Disney Springs‘ most popular restaurants is offering Memorial Day Brunch!
Chef Art Smith himself.
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ has quickly become a favorite at Disney Springs thanks to its homestyle menu, which pays homage to “Florida’s rich agricultural heritage by highlighting local ingredients and farm-to-table cuisine.” One of the establishment’s most beloved offerings is the Southern Brunch offered on weekends from 9AM-1PM. Reservations often fill up quickly, however, next week there’ll be an EXTRA shot at grabbing one…

New popcorn bucket
Over the last several years, popcorn buckets have become one of Disney’s biggest souvenir categories, with buckets themed to specific characters, lands, and seasonal events. Buckets have resulted in hours-long lines as people rush to get the newest one available (remember the infamous Figment popcorn bucket fiasco of 2022?). Now, a new bucket based on one of Disney’s oldest characters has debuted at Disney Springs!
Well, it’s been another week of us eating our way around Disney World — do you blame us? We LIVE for Disney food.

We even reacquainted ourselves with Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs this week, as well as checked out a new POG drink (YES, REALLY!!!). Now, we’re counting down until we can have beignets in Magic Kingdom again (and these look more like authentic New Orleans-style beignets, which is ALL we ever wanted). In the meantime, we’re going through all the menu changes we spotted in Disney World restaurants.
So we’re not always excited when something new comes to Disney Springs (unless it concerns food, then, well, we get VERY excited).
Disney Springs
Disney Springs does have live entertainment (we’ve often seen live bands here), not to mention a cool art walk, but other than that, there’s not much to do there at night. But now, a new nighttime show coming to the shopping and dining district — and it’s could change EVERYTHING.

Picture this: You’re in Disney World, having the time of your life. You’re hitting all the rides you want using Disney’s skip-the-line Lightning Lane service or just by strategically checking wait times on the My Disney Experience app. You’re eating everything on your Dining Bucket List with a little help from Mobile Order and all the Advance Dining Reservations you’ve made. It’s the perfect moment to snap that precious picture of your little one with the one and only Mickey Mouse! And THAT’S when it happens…
Hey, Mickey!
…you’ve received the dreaded “Low Battery” message on your phone. We’ve all been there… and frankly, we’ve been there more often these days with all of the trip planning tools available on our phones, which also happen to be our cameras. You’ve got to recharge your phone, but what if you don’t have your own charger, or maybe you’ve forgotten your charging cord? Good news: There’s a fix to this problem right in the Disney World parks and Resorts… and it’s available at more locations than you might think! [Read more…]
Heads up, whiskey fans — you might want to listen up!
Disney Springs
Raglan Road Irish Pub at Disney Springs is home to delicious eats, incredible entertainment, and quite a selection of whiskey. Not only that, but Raglan Road is celebrating a very special event this weekend in a big way and you might want to know about it!
It takes thousands of Cast Members to keep Disney World running — and many of those Cast Members are also union members.
We love Cast Members!
Last year, Disney and various Cast Member unions were involved in some heated negotiations, with the parties eventually coming to an agreement on their terms. Now, employees of multiple Disney Springs establishments have lodged public complaints — citing unfair working conditions, ADA violations, and more — and some are attempting to unionize. Here’s what we know.
Disney Springs is home to some incredible restaurants and while we’ve had some great meals here, there’s some hefty competition between the quick-service restaurants here. There are just too many good choices — that’s a good problem to have, though, right?
