Hello, DFB Friends! We’re back with loads more coverage from your favorite non-park Disney fix — Disney Springs!
We’ve found loads of new stuff, so let’s get started, shall we?
We’ve been carefully watching the construction progress over at Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs, eagerly awaiting the day when they’ll finally be open!
Although Gideon’s is already selling its incredibly large cookies to its adoring fans in Orlando, the Disney Springs spot will be their first flagship location. We don’t know exactly when they’ll be opening, but we spotted something new today that shows we’re one step closer to enjoying their delicious treats in Disney!
Disney World is all about the theming, which is one of the reasons guests love it so much. But theming isn’t just reserved for the attractions and hotels — oh no, it also extends to many of the restaurants (and we’re especially excited about the upcoming space-themed Space 220 at EPCOT!).
So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the upcoming Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs also has a mysterious backstory!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the news for you this week. Today we have all the details on the latest in the Disney World theme parks and MORE!
See all of our coverage on Disney park reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
You know how they say “join the Dark Side…we have cookies?” Well, if those cookies are from Gideon’s Bakehouse…sign us up!
If you’ve never heard of this special spot, get your taste buds ready. Gideon’s Bakehouse will soon be opening a location in Disney Springs, and now you’ve got the chance to be a part of their team!
Walt Disney World is always changing, growing, or under construction.
However, many theme park projects were put on hold or canceled altogether when the global health crisis hit. Earlier, EPCOT’s proposed Spaceship Earth refurbishment and Mary Poppin’s attraction were postponed indefinitely. Then, Primeval Whirl, Stitches Great Escape, and Rivers of Light were permanently closed. Despite budget cuts and supply shortages, Disney has still managed to pull off a few new projects over the summer.
Love giant, ridiculously delicious cookies?
Then you’re definitely going to LOVE Gideon’s Bakehouse when they open their new location in Disney Springs later in 2020. Recently, we got the chance to talk with Steve Lewis, the owner of Gideon’s Bakehouse, to learn more about the Disney Springs store — and now we’re even MORE excited for this spot to open!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re ready to see what’s new in Disney Springs!
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, construction, and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
Although we can’t pass up dessert in Disney Springs, we’ve been missing those AMAZING Gideon’s chocolate chip cookies since they disappeared from The Polite Pig.
Buuut, they’ll be making their way back in the shopping and dining district (along with a whole bunch of other goodies) when the official Gideon’s Bakehouse store opens later this year! While the bakery has taken over Rustic Cuff’s previous location, we’ve been keeping an eye on Gideon’s progress as signage pops up and pastry chefs are announced!
It’s getting harder and HARDER to contain our pure cookie joy over the new Gideon’s Bakehouse that’s coming soon to Disney Springs!
We’ve been pretty amped up about the new location which will offer timed cookie drops, giant cake slices, and an explosion of artist collabs when it opens — like these handmade Gideon’s mugs they’re selling at their Orlando shop right now!
