food IS a theme park
It’s almost Mother’s Day and Disney World is celebrating!
Celebrate mom!
There are a bunch of special treats available, like cupcakes, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a special Dole Whip, along with some one-day-only brunches, like the one over at Steakhouse 71. We’ve already told you about a lot of the offerings, but there are some that aren’t as well known — like a SECRET MENU cocktail at a popular Disney hotel!
The sweetest holiday of the year is coming up quick, and you KNOW we’ve been pre-gaming with Minnie Mouse Ears and ALL the Red Velvet treats!

But since we can’t just eat cake pops and chocolate bars all day long, we’ve been scoping out Disney World restaurants for Valentine’s Day dinners and specials, and lucky for us, Disney Springs is comin’ in HOT with a slew of sweet and savory specials for the holiday!
Hello, everyone, from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We spent a day at the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow to see what’s new and not only did we get to see a QUEEN, but we also saw the first Festival of the Arts tents going up, some new masks, and more!
In case you wanted to ring in the new year with Indian-style Bread Service or Thai Coconut Meatballs, you’re in LUCK!

While New Year’s Eve is certainly going to look a LOT different this year, Disney World announced that quick-service restaurants, pool bars, and lounges at its resorts will be open late for the holiday!
There are lots of sweet and savory treats you can find around World Showcase in EPCOT.
France Creperie
A fan-favorite spot has opened once again at the France Pavilion in EPCOT and we just had to stop by to see what changes have been made here.

Life is the bubbles with the NEW Champagne Margarita made with Teremana Respado tequila, a hit of freshly squeezed lime, orange liqueur, and topped with a refreshing splash of champagne.
Just moments ago we reported that Amorette’s Patisserie had officially reopened in Disney Springs!

And while they only have a limited menu right now (they hope to be fully operational by Sunday), we noticed they’ve made few price increases on some of their alcoholic beverages!
It’s T-minus only THREE DAYS until it’s 2020, you guys!
Wine Bar George
And, while there are plenty of ways to celebrate New Year’s around Disney World, you can ring in the start of a new decade with a FREE bottle of bubbly!

The “Epic New Year’s Eve” Celebration lets guests celebrate twice — first for the Irish New Year at 7PM, then for the countdown to midnight in central Florida!
We have been waiting patiently since we first heard the announcement, and the day has finally arrived. The doors to Amorette’s Patisserie have officially opened!
The brand new, upscale bakery joins other boutique sweets spots, like Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC, The Ganachery, and Vivoli Gelateria, at Disney Springs this week. The work on the newly re-imagined shopping and dining district is just about complete, and it’s pretty amazing.
But along with other carts and shops, Amorette’s Patisserie has been on our short list of places to anticipate! Let’s head in and take a look around.
Step into the newly opened Town Center at Disney Springs and you’ll soon locate Amorette’s Patisserie.

The shop dates back to the earliest days of Disney Springs, around 1900.
