We checked out all the new items in Disney Springs from the WonderFall special offerings to new merchandise and updates. We love the Fall theme and decor all over the area!
This time we started our tour in The Marketplace — and were rewarded with a Villainous discovery!
But before the discovery, be sure to stop by Guest Relations to pick up your WonderFall Flavors Passport. This works a lot like the Epcot Food and Wine Festival Passport — it lets you know who is participating in the program, what they are offering, and lets you record what you had at each location.
Now, on to the good stuff! Food and Merchandise!
What’s New in Disney Springs Marketplace
Look what we found in The Dress Shop in the Marketplace Co-op! This dress is perfectly evil.
The graphics on the bottom of the dress capture the villains’ evil streak so well. Look at Mother Gothel from Tangled (she’s the evil one in the the red dress). You know she just did something horrible by that look on her face.
And Ursula just looks so delighted with herself and her evil-ness! This might just be the perfect dress if you’re headed out to the Halloween Party!
The Sally Dress with the Zero Purse that we found in Magic Kingdom is available here as well — so if a Villain Dress isn’t for you for Halloween try this kind of sweet Sally Dress!
Sticking with shopping for a minute, we were so sad to see the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Lego Display is gone! We are hoping something just as awesome replaces it soon.
And we have to admit the “coming soon” display is pretty cute.
On to the eats — B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. is offering a Polish Smoked Sausage and Stella Artois Cidre as part of the WonderFall Flavors program.
The Earl of Sandwich is currently offering a Philly Cheesesteak — with Provolone — as their specialty sandwich. Now start the debate — which is better on your Cheesesteak? Cheese Whiz (our adored plastic cheese) or Provolone?
If you’re after a Margarita stop at Dockside Margaritas for a Honey Mango or Watermelon Margarita, both are the featured Margaritas right now.
Goofy’s Candy Co. is always a good place to stop when your sweet tooth is demanding attention. The bakery case here is jam-packed with all kinds of Halloween and Fall themed baked goods including cupcakes, cookies, marshmallow wands, cake pops, caramel apples, and more.
And no visit to the Marketplace is complete without stopping in at Ghirardelli. Look at these pumpkin bags! Maybe after you eat what’s in them you can use them for trick or treating!
The World of Disney Store is still under partial refurbishment. The portion that has been closed is now open, and the smaller portion that was open (where Bibbity Bobbity Boutique used to be) is now closed. The whole store is expected to be open later this fall.
Rest assured – you can find Halloween Merch in the part of World of Disney that is open as well as other locations like Mickey’s Pantry!
What’s New in Disney Springs Town Center
is participating in the WonderFall flavors program with an Oktoberfest Poutine.
Fries, Stout Gravy, Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, and Cheese Curds. Plus, pair this with a Cider from Ace — you can’t go wrong! Check out our full review of this WonderFall offering!
Amorette’s Patisserie is in the Fall mood too! Their WonderFall offering is a Fall Harvest Petit Cake.
We tried this cake with Nutmeg, Caramel, Calvados, Cranberry and Hazelnut flavors and layers out — read our full review here!
And we just can’t get enough of this Mickey Mouse Jack O’Lantern Macaron! Too Cute!
In celebration of the Dream Big Princess initiative, Amorette’s has a Princess Petit Cake that reminds us of Tiana! It’s made of Chocolate Cake paired with Raspberry and Chocolate Mousses, and Chocolate Crisp Pearls.
They have also added an Apple Riesling Slushie in addition to their Shiraz, Moscato, and Pinot Noir Slushies.
The Polite Pig has whipped up a Harvest Fest Pork Belly Taco with pork belly, squash and cabbage slaw, cranberry gastrique, pumpkin seeds, and picked onions for the WonderFall flavors program.
Plus, they have added a seasonal Passionfruit Frosé Slushie and an Apple Cider Whiskey Sour (say that fast three times!) to their menu.
Outside between Anthropologie and Sephora you’ll find a pop-up bar that is now serving Pretzels and Churros in addition to cocktails and beer.
You get to choose between a classic Mickey Pretzel (cheese sauce available) or a Salted Caramel Pretzel – and if you’re after a Churro you can pick up a pumpkin filled one for the season, or the classic churro.
Mark your calendars! Frontera Cocina is ready to celebrate National Taco Day on Taco Tuesday October 4.
Over at D-Luxe Burger, they are celebrating the season with a Harvest Apple Burger. That’s a burger topped with Apple Whiskey Jam, Smoked Sausage, Smoked Gouda, Lettuce, Tomato, and Caramelized Onions.
And what goes better with Burgers than Milkshakes? Try the Pumpkin Pie seasonal shake here!
Sprinkles has a Pumpkin Cupcake – but it’s only available until September 30! Be sure to get there if you can for this before it disappears.
Remember Pop Rocks Candy? Sprinkles does, and they incorporated them into a cupcake. So fun!
These do look very pretty with their “gold” dusting!
If you can’t decide what to choose at Sprinkles you can now pick up a Bake Box — cookies and cupcakes all in one sweet box! Love this idea!
What’s New in Disney Springs West Side
One of our favorite stores, DisneyStyle, is all ready for Halloween! The large wall that usually has a graphic of Cinderella Castle on it for photos and selfies now has a seasonal graphic of the Haunted Mansion with Ballroom Scene Dancers. This gets us wondering what they will put on the wall for Christmas?
And, there is a selection of Haunted Mansion merch – mugs, shirts, socks, ears, and more.
Not to be left out, check out the Maleficent shirt!
We also found a lot of popular shirt designs are now available on phone cases.
We are still officially expecting Jaleo to open in 2018 — here’s a look at their construction progress.
We’ll keep you updated on the progress and and announcements on opening and menus as soon as we hear them!
Speaking of Construction — the NBA Experience is also coming along. Opening is expected in the summer of 2019.
What’s New in Disney Springs The Landing
is another participant in the WonderFall Flavors program. They are offering Bavarian Roasted Pork Shanks and Air Pirate’s Pretzels for the season.
Plus, they have some spooky cocktails for the season — and they come with a poison apple glow ice cube!
So, what are the drinks? The Forbidden Apple, Autumn Smash, and a Non-Alcoholic Poison-less Apple.
We tried out the Forbidden Apple and Autumn Smash. Read our full reviews here!
The Basket at Wine Bar George just introduced Freaujolais – you can still pick up a Frosé frozen wine slush if you prefer. The cast member told us the Freaujolais tastes like a frozen sangria.
Yes, there is a spelling error on the sign… but it’s the same stuff.
Vivoli il Gelato is busy! They have added a Maple Bacon Shake to their specialty shake menu!
Check out our full review of the shake here!
In addition to the Maple Bacon Shake you can pick up some other specialty shakes from Build Your Own, Cannoli, Millenial Pink or King’s Shake.
We also found some specials on their September Sundae Menu including Coffee Cheesecake, Chocolate Turtle Brownie and The Honeycomb. Which one will you choose? Talk about impossible decisions.
If you’re after a cookie — there are some seasonal Halloween Sugar Cookies at Vivoli Il Gelato as well.
We’ll stick to the sweets as we check out The Ganachery. We’re telling you, they are all set for Halloween here! Check out these shelves!
Those are Jack Skellington Pinatas. They also have a Minnie Witch version that’s filled with Marshmallow treats.
These are almost too perfect to break — we said almost! Give us those marshmallow treats!
For the Dark Chocolate fan — check out this dark chocolate skull.
Props to The Ganachery for having maybe the best Halloween display! Spooky and fun all at once!
If your kiddo is looking for a sweet treat try the Princess Chocolate Bars. These aren’t new, new — but they have been absent for a while. Welcome back princesses!
If you go for a box of their chocolates you can get it with a bit of fall decoration on it!
Joffrey’s Tea Traders Cafe (as well as kiosks in and around the parks) can always be relied upon to have some great donuts. We’re glad to see this display back after it was removed for a while.
Our last stop was at Pizza Ponte where we found the current seasonal drink is a Frozen Bellini – with Rum?!?
This was a fun fall visit to Disney Springs — when is your next visit? Be sure to take part in the WonderFall Flavors program if you do go!

Nikki says
Wow! Disney Springs looks like it has some amazing foods and beverages to try. I think I need to get there this fall. My only question is….How long will these items be available? I am afraid I am going to miss it if I wait for the race weekend in November.
DFB Sarah says
Nikki, in truth, things do change out, even if they’re seasonal and we’re still IN the season. But we will keep checking and updating What’s New in Disney Springs, so hopefully some of the items you’re craving will stick around — and maybe some other yummy options will pop up! Good luck on race weekend!
