food IS a theme park
Although most of us focus our time and attention on the parks when it comes to Disney World vacations, we want to stress that you should also make time to visit Disney Springs!
Homecomin’ in Disney Springs
Sure, there’s a lot of great shopping in Disney Springs, but there are also a TON of amazing restaurants (and we have our favorites) with great food. Now, one of our favorite dining spots is offering a special Labor Day weekend treat, and you should check it out.
If you haven’t been paying close attention to the latest Disney news, you’ve got a LOT to catch up on!
Headed to Disney World?
From restaurant changes and new menu offerings to a Disney version of Amazon Prime (?!) there’s a lot for us to go over. So sit back, grab your favorite drink, and let’s catch up on all the latest Disney news together.
One of the best places to get a snack or treat in Disney World is not in the park at all — it’s Disney Springs! This location has TONS of restaurants, including one that has some of our favorite ice cream EVER.
Salt & Straw
Yep — we’re talking about Salt & Straw! This ice cream shop features bold flavor combinations, with some flavors teetering on the edge of downright strange. However, we usually enjoy even the weirdest options on the menu here. Now there are NEW flavors for September — check them out here. [Read more…]
It’s no secret that Disney World can be CROWDED.
Monorail line at the Transportation and Ticket Center
Thousands of people visit the parks daily, and those numbers only increase when it comes to special events and holiday weekends. We’ve seen quite the lull in crowds recently, but with Labor Day Weekend on the horizon, we could see a surge in attendance. We’re in the parks scoping everything out to help be prepared if you’re heading to Disney World this weekend, so let’s see what the crowds look like!
There are plenty of places to grab a cupcake around Disney World and Disneyland, but not all cupcakes in the Disney parks are created equally.
Sprinkles Disney Springs
In fact, one of our favorite places to grab a cupcake isn’t even in a Disney park! Sprinkles Cupcakes in Disney Springs and Downtown Disney Anaheim serves up deliciously unique sweets and each month they release different cupcake flavors that are simply mouth-watering. Let’s find out what they’re baking for September!
What’s your favorite thing to do in Disney Springs?
Disney Springs
Do you like shopping till you drop? Or taking in the atmosphere and enjoying the entertainment options? One of our favorite things to do at Disney Springs is EAT (no surprise there). Disney Springs has tons of great restaurants, bars, bakeries, and more. Now, a popular spot has just announced a new offering!
It may not be a theme park, but you could spend HOURS exploring Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
With all the shopping options, plus some of the best restaurants in Disney World, there’s a lot to do. You could go bowling, take a ride on a hot air balloon, watch a Cirque du Soleil show, or even go to the movies. And if you’re interested in stopping by the AMC Theatres there, then you should know that they have a NEW feature!
Can you believe that it’s already SEPTEMBER?! It feels like just yesterday we were telling you about the Halfway to Halloween treats, and now, Halloween has actually arrived in Disney World!
Pumpkin Spice Shadow Cake for Halfway to Halloween
We’ve already checked out Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, as well as a ton of things like spooky merchandise, but it IS still only September, so there’s a long time to check out Halloween festivities. There are, however, some other seasonal offerings that are ONLY around for this month, like the monthly flavors over at a very popular bakery in Disney Springs!
Guess what September is?
City Works in Disney Springs
It’s the beginning of the football season AND the beginning of Oktoberfest (yes, Oktoberfest starts in September). That means it’s time to grab some delicious snacks to watch some games AND drink some beer while yelling PROST. Sure, you could celebrate the latter at Biergarten in EPCOT, but you can also celebrate BOTH football season and Oktoberfest at ONE spot in Disney Springs!
When it comes to food, we’ve had quite an exciting month.
Snow White Mini Petit Cake
Not only have we been able to start trying all the Halloween treats in Disney World, but we also got to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. PLUS, we also got try out some princess-themed treats for World Princess week. ALL the food. However, August also brought some changes to Disney World restaurant menus.
