food IS a theme park
Can you believe the Disney World theme parks have officially reopened?
Welcome Home!!
Disney has put a lot of work into the modifications made for the reopening. Disney World has already seen changes like face mask requirements and distancing measures, but a few of these updates might actually become a part of everyday park life.
Disney Springs is one of our favorite places in Disney World to get our snack on.
Disney Springs
That’s because there are so many great options — and even more to come! We’ve been waiting with anticipation for the opening of new spots like Beatrix, Ample Hills Creamery, and Gideon’s Bakehouse. Now, we have ANOTHER upcoming dining option to look forward to; check out Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew!
What’s cooler than the backside of water?!
Jungle Cruise
How could we ever answer that question? Many a Jungle Cruise Skipper has shown us the marvel that is the back of Schweitzer Falls and we have to say — it’s pretty neat. Today though, we might have spotted a piece of merch that meets the cool level of that watery marvel. Check out the Jungle Cruise Skipper Backpack we spotted in Disney World!
It’s not every day that we find a hair accessory that’s as unusual as these Star Wars Lightsaber Hair Sticks we spotted a while back!

But today, we think we might have topped it! You’ll see what we mean in a sec!
You’ll find Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC in The Landing area of Disney Springs.

And you know what you’ll find inside this nook that’s chock-full of vegan, allergy-friendly goodies? You’ll spot some NEW cupcakes in the bakery case, that’s what! [Read more…]
Now that we’ve used Disney World’s new Mobile Dine Check-In and experienced our first character meal (all while navigating Disney’s new Park Pass Reservation System which launched today) we’ve had a little time to go diggin’ around for more details regarding Disney World’s phased reopening!

We’ve just learned that unlike Disney World theme park guests, resorts guests will not be required to undergo mandatory temperature screenings for the time being.
We’ve seen a bunch of cool merch at Disney’s Days of Christmas in Disney Springs recently — including Ear Hat ornaments inspired by some of our favorite Epcot attractions!
Frozen Ever After Ornament
And today, we spotted another Epcot attraction ornament at Disney Springs!
It looks like this Baby Yoda plush isn’t the only Star Wars merch that’s super popular!

We headed to Disney Springs today to see what’s happening. And the Rock N’ Roll Brunch and re-opened to-go window at City Works weren’t the only things giving us the warm and fuzzies!
Get your snazzy clothes ready because Dapper Day is returning to Disney World this fall!
Dapper Dans
Anyone is welcome to join in on Dapper Day! These events celebrate sophisticated clothing and timeless style and many participants opt to rock mid-century inspired ensembles in the parks. And while the most recent Disneyland Dapper Day (originally scheduled for this weekend) has been canceled, the event will be returning to Disney World later this year!
City Works is back open with Peanut Butter Snickers Pie, and we couldn’t be happier about it!
City Works
While Disney Springs has lots of restaurants, shops, and entertainment back up and running, we’re ready for some mimosas and a Jon Bun Jovi Cinnamon Roll the next time we visit!
