food IS a theme park
If you’re looking for a new ice cream challenge, you’ll want to stop by AristoCrepes in Disney Springs and order the new Wreck-It-Ralph Sundae!

While this super HUGE sundae is served in the same “Family Challenge” souvenir trophy that Vanellope’s Ice Cream Sundae comes in over at the Magic Kingdom, it’s even BIGGER! [Read more…]
There are two new limited time menu items at D-Luxe Burger, and we thought it was a lovely day to visit Disney Springs to try them!
New Caribbean Burger at D-Luxe in Disney Springs
You’ll spot one of the two items on the burger menu in this fast-casual restaurant, and that’s the Caribbean Burger. It’s $12.49. [Read more…]
Ooh, we love a burger and fries from D-Luxe Burger in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs, and now the casual dining spot has added two limited time menu items!
D-Luxe and That Gorgeous Florida Sky
The Caribbean Burger is a patty made with D-Luxe’s signature blend of meats, Chayote Slaw, Scotch Bonnet Pepper Aioli (!!), Fried Plantain, Lettuce, and Tomato. We’re loving the idea of spice from the Scotch Bonnet Pepper Aioli, and we’re intrigued by the plantain. 😉

Walt Disney World
is never shy to jump on the bandwagon of snack trends, and we love them for it! Edible cookie dough is one such trend — and it’s popping up all over the place! We first spotted it at All-Star Sports back in July, then it arrived (in Mickey style!!) at AristoCrepes in Disney Springs. Now there’s a second Disney Springs locale getting in on the action: B. B. Wolf’s!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Flavor combinations in edible cookie dough can be as diverse as cookies themselves, and AristoCrepes offered the most unique combo we’d seen thus far with Gingerbread Butterscotch. But B. B. Wolf’s is taking it there with Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Bacon in dessert can be a little hit or miss for us, but this one looks promising enough with lots of crispy bacon bits on top of the otherwise ordinary-looking cookie dough. The bacon, sadly, isn’t caramelized or sweetened in anyway, so it’s just a serious savory bomb. This creates a really stark contrast to the otherwise sweet dessert.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
For us, this uber-savory addition didn’t work. It’s too salty and overpowers the (relatively nonexistent) maple and chocolate, both of which take a backseat to the super-salty bacon. There are plenty of chocolate chips in there, but they can’t compete with the bossy bacon. And the cookie dough flavor itself just isn’t there.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
The concept we do not dispute, but it’s a little clunky and thus out of balance. If you’re spending $4.50, find a snack that’s hitting all the right notes, not one that needs to be edited.
What kind of cookie dough would you love to see the Disney Parks try next? Let us know in the comments!

We are eagerly awaiting the opening this winter season of Jaleo by Chef José Andrés in Disney Springs! To further whet our appetites, today José Andrés’ ThinkFoodGroup, in collaboration with renowned Spanish design firm Capella Garcia Arquitectura, has provided new artwork for the 22 thousand square foot restaurant which will serve the Chef’s authentic Spanish cuisine.

They shared that “the architectural form of the building is inspired by an artichoke, a vegetable native to José’s homeland. The artichoke structure opens up, inviting guests to enter and experience the very best of Spanish cuisine.” Color choices will present citrus-inspired hues of orange and lemon, with wood and ceramic materials also setting the scene.
