food IS a theme park
Disney Springs has seen LOTS of changes lately!
Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC sweets and treats
Disney Springs has welcomed a few new restaurants recently like EET by Maneet Chauhan and Summer House on the Lake. But with so many stores closing there lately, too, how are the restaurants that have been around for a while? We took on the challenge to find out! [Read more…]
From Halloween balloons to Halloween merch, we’ve been enjoying ALL the spooky season offerings at Disney World!

We’ve also been on a quest to find delicious Halloween snacks around Disney World, and today we spotted one particularly spooky treat we just HAD to try!
ICYMI, we’re keeping an updated list of eateries in Disney Springs that will join in the phased reopening of Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district starting May 20th. And we have another addition for the list…

Hi, All! If you're looking for information related to the current closures and their effect on the Disney Parks, click here for all the up-to-date details and click here for answers to dozens of reader FAQs. Here at DFB our thoughts are with all who have been affected. While the parks are closed, we will continue reporting and writing articles our readers will need and use once the parks reopen. Thank you for your support.
If your supply of baked goods is dwindling by the second, we’ve got some exciting news for you!

Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC in Disney Springs is going to be firing up its ovens this weekend to bring you a bunch of their signature sweets and treats.
Hey everybody! It’s time for another roundup of What’s New in Disney Springs!
Fall into Magic at Disney Springs
We’ve spotted a bunch of new autumn goodies along with some new construction that we’re excited to tell you about. And we can’t forget about the crazy new merch we spotted (like $600 crazy!), so let’s get to it!
The theme at Disney Springs right now is Beat the Heat. In the dog days of summer we certainly agree!
We scoured Disney World’s shopping and dining district and found what’s new so you know where to stop the next time you’re at Disney Springs for a cool drink, snack, meal, or air conditioned retail therapy!
Beating the Heat in Disney Springs
It’s high time for more 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival fun!
Once again, we’re going beyond the Marketplace Booths for a Special Event that is new to the Festival this year: Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It! Hands-On Workshops. Similar to the Festival’s Culinary Demonstrations and Beverage Seminars, this new offering takes place daily in the Festival Center. However, the Mix It, Make It, Celebrate It! sessions offer an interactive element unique to this Special Event where participants can take tips directly from leaders in the culinary industry.
The choice of topics is extensive, ranging from forming sushi rolls to pasta making and vodka tasting to pumpkin decorating (and beyond — check out the full list of options here). We attended The Art of Pastry Making with Erin McKenna.
You might be familiar with Erin McKenna as the founder of Babycakes or the owner of Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC in Disney Springs (or even her shops in New York and Los Angeles). If so, then you know that her focus is on creating tasty vegan and gluten-free goods. Since baking gluten-free items is not something I have previously attempted, I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn something new!
So join me in the Chef’s Showcase at the Festival Center to check out this new Special Event!

Long tables are set up in front of the stage so there’s plenty of room for lots of would-be pastry-makers! [Read more…]
