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!
We’re anxiously awaiting an opening date from Summer House on the Lake in Disney Springs, but a recent job posting suggests that the opening might be sooner than we think! The restaurant posted on its Instagram that it’s now looking for employees for the Disney Springs location. How exciting!

Now, we only have a vague timeline for the restaurant’s grand opening, and that’s sometime in late 2023. But 2023 is whizzing right by us, so we’re hoping to get a more specific date soon. We’ve been keeping an eye on construction, too, and it’s coming right along.
Recent construction on Summer House on the Lake
The restaurant, which has locations in Chicago and Bethesda, MD, will feature a menu inspired by California flavors made with “simple, sustainable ingredients.” You’ll be able to order things like pizzas, salads, pasta, sandwiches, wood-grilled dishes, and more.

The location will also feature a dessert bar, The Cookie Jar, a dessert-focused market that serves “freshly baked cookies and house-made pastries.” To say we’re excited about that is an understatement! We are ALL about some cookies! Who knows? Maybe it will even give Gideon’s Bakehouse a run for its money.
