For those who have a bundled Disney+ and Hulu subscription, Hulu became MERGED with Disney+ — as in you can watch all your Hulu shows straight from the Disney+ app. Although the feature had its beta launch last year, it became official this week and included a few new features. Well, Disney is celebrating Hulu on Disney+ in a big way, both in Disney Springs AND Downtown Disney — yep, on BOTH coasts.
Wildly popular specialty ice cream chain Salt & Straw dropped an Instagram post on March 29th indicating that their next upcoming flavor will be a return of their gooey delicious take on Rice Krispies. One word: YUM. We’re intrigued.
Salt and Straw at Disney Springs
Salt & Straw was founded in Portland, Oregon, by cousins Kim and Tyler Malek in 2011. The chain, known for a mixture of permanent and seasonal exotic ice cream flavors and mixes, has gained steady popularity in the decade since, growing to over 40 locations — including TWO on Disney property.
Anytime Disney World announces new eats and more, it’s reason enough to celebrate.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
But, when those new eats happen to be coming to a seriously underrated park, that’s even MORE reason to celebrate. Earth Month is coming up soon and Disney is celebrating the best way they know how — with new snacks!
Disney fans, we’ve uncovered another saucegate sitch for you!
French Fries with Dipping Sauces
Disney Springs is home to some of our favorite restaurants and exclusive experiences you just can’t get anywhere else! A few months ago we noticed several sauces removed at a popular Disney Springs restaurant, so we should have figured it was only a matter of time until another saucy mystery needed to be uncovered.

It’s that time of year again!
Amorette’s Patisserie
Yep, it’s the time of year when all the flowers are in bloom, the topiaries are out in EPCOT for the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, and all the Easter treats are arriving in restaurants all over Disney World. Now, we’ve already tried many of these spring and Easter snacks, but we just found two treats that will take home the “Most Adorable” award of the year.
Let’s talk about Disney food!
Dole Whip Bathtub Sundae
Okay, okay, we ALWAYS talk about Disney food, so sue us! It IS our middle name, after all. More specifically, though, let’s talk about all the changes that happen with Disney World restaurants. Now, we’ve seen restaurants come and we’ve seen restaurants go, but we also see restaurant menus changing every single week.
Disney Springs is home to several amazing restaurants, but could one of them be in danger of closing?
Disney Springs
Chicken Guy! is a chicken restaurant chain owned by celebrity chef Guy Fieri and restauranteur Robert Earl. Its flagship restaurant resides in Disney Springs and, until now, there was no cause for concern. However, news of financial issues at one Florida Chicken Guy! location has us worried.
Did you know there are plenty of things to do in Disney World outside of the regular snacks, rides, and entertainment offerings?
Disney Springs
One of our favorite things to do is check out limited-time events in Disney Springs. Often, this area of the property will be home to special entertainment or dining experiences that are only available for a limited time. Recently, I made a trip to Disney Springs for a NEW event where I got to eat some delicious food and meet a celebrity chef!
Dining in Disney World is one of our favorite things — that’s why we’re Disney Food Blog!
Disney Springs
However, dining anywhere in Disney World isn’t cheap — especially if you’re eating a full meal instead of just snacking throughout the day. We love telling you about any and all of the dining deals we find throughout the resort, and this is how you can spend $20 to feed TWO people!
Splitsville in Disney Springs is a popular hang-out if you’re looking for good food, drinks, and a fun game of bowling.
Splitsville
It’s located on the West Side of the Springs District; you can’t miss its bright red “Splitsville” sign. Gone are the days of basic bowling and concessions food, at Splitsville it’s luxury lanes and classy food. You can take a break from the parks and get in some low-key competition with your family and friends. However, it appears that the up-scale bowling alley will soon have a rival in the Orlando area!
