If you’re ever craving those creamy and sweet flavors of gelato in Disney Springs, you probably know by now that you can get gelato…as well as a ton of other delicious snacks…at Vivoli il Gelato.
But what if we told you this gelato spot is opening a new location? What if we told you that this new location is just outside Disney World at Flamingo Crossings, which is pretty much right next to Disney World and is the same area where many Disney World Cast Members stay? Well, it’s happening, Vivoli il Gelato is opening up a new shop!
So Buc-ee’s is a BIG DEAL (at least in the Southern U.S.), and it’s become a BIG deal in Florida.
Buc-ee’s is like the Disney World of gas stations/convenience stores, and yes, it even has a cartoon beaver mascot that can be found on LOADS of merchandise. What really sets it apart, though, is that the food is actually pretty good (and fresh), it has walls of snacks and drinks, and there are AMAZING bathrooms inside. Buc-ee’s is bringing its biggest location yet to Florida, but it’s also bringing an UPDATE to its existing Daytona Beach location.
Calling all ice cream lovers — there’s a NEW sweet shop in Disney World just for you!

Salt & Straw in Disney Springs!
Salt & Straw officially opens today in Disney Springs and we’ve been bringing you along for a look at the menu and all that there is to see inside! There’s already a long line (including a virtual queue) to get a scoop, but we’ve got the SECRET to skipping the wait entirely!
Who’s in the mood for some shopping? Let’s go hit up Disney Springs, shall we?

Disney Springs
Here we can get pretty much anything our heart desires, from fun bath and body products to all the Disney merchandise our heart desires to designer bags to jewelry to more!
Chicken Guy! at Disney Springs is one of those restaurants that we feel is often underrated.

Big Bite B.L.A.T., fries, and slaw from Chicken Guy!
We’re big fans of the chicken tenders there, not to mention the whopping 22 sauces you can get to dip them in! And we are all about the chicken sandwiches, too, as well as the MAC AND CHEESE. And there’s about to be a brand new Chicken Guy! location in Florida!
We’re quickly approaching the opening date for the new Star Wars Trading Post location in Downtown Disney. The Star Wars Trading Post will open on February 19th, and guests will be able to explore the hidden Resistance jungle base in a galaxy far, far away.
Unlike Galaxy’s Edge, the jungle base storyline will be placed outside of the limits of the Star Wars timeline, so you’ll be able to buy merchandise from all different Star Wars eras! As Star Wars fans ourselves, we can’t wait to visit this place! The new location of the base is actually the former home of Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. So, how exactly did Disney transform the rainforest into a jungle from another galaxy?
To Star Wars fans located in Southern California, we’ve got some exciting news for you!

Star Wars Trading Post
The Star Wars Trading Post that just opened up this past September at Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort is getting a brand new location! Plus, it’ll continue offering exclusive merchandise from Galaxy’s Edge.
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!
MAC and Origins have officially reopened in Disney Springs!
But the excitement didn’t stop there! As we continued on our Disney Springs journey we noticed that a new Rustic Cuff kiosk has sprung up!
