food IS a theme park
Although we spend a lot of time at Disney World’s parks, we also love hanging out at Disney Springs.
Cheers!
Disney Springs is home to SO many great restaurants, including all the cookies, donuts, and gelato we could ever want to eat. But Disney Springs also has some restaurants and bars with some FABULOUS drinks!
September is a great time to visit Disney World this year!
Mickey Pumpkins Galore!
Kids are back in school, the weather should cool off a little, and you’ll beat the crowds coming in for the big 50th anniversary in October! And, there are some exciting new things to look forward to happening this month that we want to tell you allllll about. These are the BEST things to do in Disney World in September!
Who doesn’t love fun souvenirs from Disney World?
Mickey Birthday Souvenir Sipper
Some of our favorite souvenirs are those that have Mickey on them, because, he IS the mouse that started it all. We’ve seen just about everything like a Mickey t-shirt, mug, hat, balloon, and popcorn bucket. But there are two really pretty souvenirs that we’ve been eyeing that have been out of stock for a little while — but it turned back up at Disney World TODAY.
Disney has been changing a lot of things lately.
Boo Bash is NOT the same as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
Annual Passholders no longer get free MagicBands, there is a whole new FastPass system, and After Hours events have replaced the usual holiday parties. One thing that’s been missing since Disney reopened last year is Extra Magic Hours. Disney recently announced new perks to replace the extra time in the parks, but only select hotel guests have access to the extended hours in the evenings. However, there will soon be another place to stay that will allow you full access to this perk!
It seems like there is always some kind of construction or refurbishment going on at Disney World.
Construction at the Contemporary
Right now, we’re seeing EPCOT getting a massive overhaul, which includes the ongoing construction of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction. We’re also seeing loads of 50th anniversary details being added at the parks, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort is currently a mess as it gets a refurbishment.
Boma has returned! This Animal Kingdom Lodge buffet is back at Disney World (in full ACTUAL buffet format!) and we couldn’t be happier to be back!
Boma
We did a Boma double feature on re-opening day having both breakfast AND dinner! (What can we say? We did it for you. And Zebra Domes. But more on that in a sec.) So after letting our massive breakfast digest, we stopped back by Boma’s dinner buffet to see if it matches up to the buffet from the “before times.”
We love our sweet treats in Disney World!
Dole Whip!
And how could we not when there are so many to choose from? Dole Whips, alcoholic ice cream, cookies from Gideons…oh! And who could forget ALL of those sweets over in Hollywood Studios right now for Halloween?! It’s a great time to have a sweet tooth in Disney World and it just got even BETTER because we found FOUR new cupcakes today in Animal Kingdom! And, guess what? They’re all adorably themed to Russell’s Wilderness Explorer Badges from Pixar’s Up!
Another week has gone by in Disney World, and this week we spent some time catching up in Disney Springs.
