food IS a theme park
Our favorite pal is ready to help you cook up some FUN in the kitchen…
Mickey and Minnie in EPCOT
We spotted a couple of cute new housewares — I mean, Mousewares — at the World of Disney in Disney Springs, and they both feature none other than Mickey Mouse! [Read more…]
It certainly is a beautiful day to take a stroll around Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
We’re swinging by Disney World’s own shopping, dining, and entertainment complex to see what there is to see. Will we find new snacks? New merchandise? You’ll have to read on to find out! Check out EVERYTHING new in food, construction, and merchandise in Disney Springs!
A long time ago (May 21, 1980) in a galaxy far, far away… Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back made its debut.
It’s Chewbacca!
And now a new line of merchandise in Disney Springs is available to commemorate the film’s 40th Anniversary! You can find a selection of t-shirts at World of Disney (and we even spotted a couple of these online at shopDisney, too). [Read more…]
If you’ve ever taken a Jungle Cruise along the rivers of Asia, Africa, and South America in Adventureland, then YOU have been lucky enough to see the Eighth Wonder of the World…
Jungle Cruise
YES, your Jungle Cruise Skipper has bravely guided you behind Schweizter Falls (named, of course, after Albert Falls) to behold THE BACKSIDE OF WATER! And “the Amazing… the Colossal… the STUPENDOUS” sight can now be yours to enjoy all the time. [Read more…]
Picking the best cookie in Disney World is pretty difficult, but we know there’s a contender in Disney Springs.

The Gideon’s Cookie has been a long time (and limited!) staple at The Polite Pig. Now, the local Orlando company, Gideon’s Bakehouse, is getting its own location in Disney Springs and we couldn’t be more excited! We’ve learned even more about the upcoming location and the legacy of that iconic cookie from the owner himself; check it out!
Back in March, we learned Ample Hills Creamery, a popular ice cream spot at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn with a new location going into Disney Springs had filed for bankruptcy.
Mickey Mouse Club Ear Bowl
While we knew this was a strategic move on the owners’ part to restructure and refocus the business, we didn’t really know what the final outcome would be. Now, it appears the original founders of the company are stepping away and the new owners will be taking over.
We’re always pumped for new dessert spots in Disney World.

But we may be ESPECIALLY pumped for the opening of the new Gideon’s Bakehouse location in Disney Springs later this year. We can’t wait to get our hands on these high-demand cookies and DELISH-looking cakes. Now, Gideon’s Bakehouse has just announced a new addition to the team, and she’s got some experience under her belt!
It’s been a wild ride this week in Disney World! While Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom have officially reopened to guests, Disney Springs is still welcoming everyone back to shop, dine, and have a great time!
Disney Springs
Although there are SO many places to eat in Disney Springs that have reopened to guests, those visiting Disney World can once again eat a meal during a thunderstorm and have a VOLCANOOO! for dessert once again!
Walt Disney World is reopening in phases this week. We caught up with everything new and missing at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom during the Annual Passholder previews.
Main Street the USA
Some art experiences were not in operation at Magic Kingdom yesterday. Most notably, the artists who typically perform custom parasol painting, caricatures, and hand-cut paper silhouettes were unavailable. We also noticed ornament customization was halted at the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe (a Cast Member mention it should resume sometime soon). [Read more…]
While we haven’t spotted very many new MagicBand styles lately, new ears have been popping up everywhere like the Pin Trading Minnie Ears and the new Black and Gold Sequined Minnie Ears which feature an even sparklier bow!
Black and Gold Minnie Ears
But after searching Disney Springs high and low, we’ve finally spotted a TWO new MagicBands!
