food IS a theme park
Okay, who’s excited about all the new stuff coming to Disney World?
Disney Springs
We’ll soon have a new attraction in EPCOT, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. We’ve got TWO new dining spots coming to Disney’s BoardWalk area, The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs (bring on the Pickle Corn Dog, y’all!). There’s also a new restaurant coming to Disney Springs and we’ve got a HUGE update about that!
Y’all, it’s time to get excited about new food coming to Disney World.
Something NEW is coming to Disney Springs
No, we’re not talking about all the new princess treats or even the new Halloween treats. We’re excited about new restaurants, especially one in particular that’s coming to Disney Springs. Not only will this restaurant bring a new table service spot to Disney Springs, but it will also bring something we CANNOT WAIT FOR: a dessert bar!
We hate to say it, but Disney doesn’t always keep their promises.

Frequently — and especially over the last few years — they’ll announce an opening timeline for a new attraction, restaurant, or hotel refurbishment, but that date keeps getting pushed back further and further. We understand that some things are largely out of their control; for example, many projects were paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and lots of construction work was likely delayed due to widespread global supply chain issues. So here’s the big question: Will Disney actually finish all the projects it has promised for 2023?
