food IS a theme park
Hello DFB friends! We’re back with another what’s new in Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
We strolled around the shopping and dining district to see the latest updates in food, construction, and merchandise, so let’s go!
If we’re being honest, we here at DFB really love old-school EPCOT.
Spaceship Earth in 1985
Those were the good ol’ days of Universe of Energy, World of Motion, and the OG Figment attraction, Journey Into Imagination. With the EPCOT transformation coming in the near future, we’ve been feeling really nostalgic for the park that we loved in the 80s and 90s! If you’re like us and just can’t seem to let go (or you know someone else who can’t), then we’ve got the perfect holiday gift guide for you!
From The Haunted Mansion to the Jungle Cruise, the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction series has celebrated some of our favorite Disney rides with its super cute merchandise releases all throughout this year.

And while we’ve still got one more release to look forward to, we can’t help but miss some of the previous collections. If you were looking to buy some of the Main Attraction merch from some of the older series and couldn’t get to them before they very QUICKLY sold out, you’re in luck!! Some previously sold out Minnie Mouse: Main Attraction merchandise has been restocked online!
We’re just a couple days away from Thanksgiving which means the holidays are in full swing!
Holiday Decorations
While we’ve seen festive decor, holiday merchandise, and jolly entertainment all over Disney World, we may have found one of the best holiday clothing collections yet. And it features Mickey Mouse himself!
If you’re like us, you’ve spent a good chunk of the last year obsessed with Disney+’s The Mandalorian, and NOT just because of The Child, a.k.a. Baby Yoda. (But, OK, Baby Yoda is pretty cute, too!)

And while there’s a RIDICULOUS amount of merch for that 50-year-old macaron– and egg-eating bounty, there’s not a as much for, ya know, the rest of the show.
The Annual Passholder pop-up shop in EPCOT was a true treasure trove of deals and cool merchandise!
Merchandise
Although the pop-up shop is no longer available, Annual Passholders will soon be able to shop for some exclusive merchandise at 4 locations in Magic Kingdom!
Last week, Buena Vista Street reopened at Disneyland Resort for shopping and dining, and we got to walk around and get a great view of the progress that’s been made on Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure Park.
Avengers Campus
Although the park and Avengers Campus can’t fully open to guests right now, Spider-Man fans will soon get the chance to purchase some unique Avengers Campus merchandise!
As EPCOT gets some major changes, we get more excited about what’s to come each time we visit the parks!
Spaceship Earth
And, the World Showcase is getting amazing new features from Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure to a gelato cart. However, we spotted THREE new shops that have opened in EPCOT’s France and Italy Pavilions for guests to find themed merchandise during their visit to the park.
Between the gingerbread treats, the pumpkin pies, and the roast turkeys, this time of year is baking season!
Mickey Gingerbread Cookie
As we all prepare for feasts and sugary snacking, it’s absolutely VITAL that we look good in the kitchen, and we found the PERFECT baking accessories at Disney World that are sure to add a little whimsy to your holiday traditions!
Christmastime in Disney World is the season for gingerbread cupcakes, eggnog fudge, and mile-high trees decked out with baubles the size of cauldrons! It’s also the season for FLANNEL!
Grand Floridian Lobby
While Florida might not get as chilly as other wintry places, we can ALWAYS cozy up to a good plaid flannel, ESPECIALLY when said flannels are decorated with Disney characters!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
