food IS a theme park
Oh, Disney World restaurants — how we miss you!
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!
We’re LOVING all the rainbow merchandise we’re finding in Disney World to celebrate 2020 Pride Month.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Seriously, we’re apologizing to our wallets as we stock up on everything from Rainbow Mickeys to Rainbow Pins. Now we’ve spotted a SUPER CUTE new piece of rainbow merch — and it might be our favorite so far.
Something sweet is coming to Walt Disney World! Gideon’s Bakehouse is set to open in Disney Springs later this year and they just dropped the most delicious news!
Gideon’s Cookies — Chocolate Chip
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! While we wait for opening day, here’s a small taste of what’s we could see at Disney Springs in the future.
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.
While we have been on the ground over the past several weeks covering the ongoing phased reopening of eateries and shops in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs, we have some very recent closures to report as well.

Indy fans were lined up yesterday with their bullwhips and fedoras in hand to enjoy a Reggie’s Revenge at their favorite Disney Springs bar yesterday.
Reggie’s Revenge
That’s because Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar had officially reopened after being shuttered for many months. But it didn’t last for long… .
World of Disney in Disney Springs has been THE SPOT to find cute kitchen gear lately! That’s where we spotted these Fab Four Towel Sets a while back, as well as a bunch of character-themed pot holders and aprons last week!
Fab Four Towels
And now, it looks like we just found another piece of the collection that’s going to help us incorporate even more Disney magic into the most-used room of our house!
In light of recent events, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has announced a statewide ban of on-premises alcohol consumption at bars, effective immediately.
Disney Springs
Since we’re currently at Disney Springs, we’ve been able to speak with a few Cast Members to see what implications this order has on Disney World.
Good news! The wicked Maleficent dress we found on shopDisney finally showed up at The Disney Dress Shop in Disney Springs! This dress would be a perfect addition to other dark side Disney dresses like the Hocus Pocus or Darth Vader dress.
Marketplace Co-op
The dress shop is located inside the Marketplace Co-Op where you can find a bunch of fun little stores like D-Tech for your phone case and MagicBand needs, and Wonderland Gallery where you can take home some Disney art. Coincidentally, Marketplace Co-Op is also where you can also pick up the super popular Disney masks.
We’ve been busy gettin’ our grub on since Disney Springs re-opened! So far, we’ve re-visited old favorites like Homecomin’, Planet Hollywood, and Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar. Now, we’re BACK exploring one of Disney Springs’ newest restaurants, City Works Eatery & Pour House.
City Works Eatery & Pour House
The sports bar is located right next to The NBA Experience on the Westside of Disney Springs. While the NBA Experience hasn’t re-opened quite yet, the dinner we had at City Works was nearly a SLAM DUNK.
