food IS a theme park
Welcome back, friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Photo-Op in Disney Springs
We’ve got lots of merch, food, and construction updates for ya, so let’s dive right on in!
As many of you may know, Disney World is basically just a giant hard hat area at the moment.
France Pavilion Construction
Due to the INSANE amount of construction going on for attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, TRON Lightcycle Run, and new dining locations like Space 220 and Beatrix, many of our followers have started asking us if it’s even worth it to go to Disney World right now. Like — “I’m proposing! Should we even go?” and “It’s my boyfriend’s first time in Disney World and I want it to be perfect. Does it even make sense to go now?”
Hey everybody! It’s time for another roundup of What’s New in Disney Springs!

If it seems like there’s always construction news out of Disney Springs, that’s because there is. City Works Eatery & Pour House is nearing completion in West Side, and not too far away, two more dining locations are just embarking on their construction journeys.

While many changes come in the form of new attractions (like the highly-anticipated TRON Lightcycle Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), there are also a whole bunch of NEW restaurants coming soon, like Space 220 and Woody’s Roundup Barbecue to the parks and resorts! Let’s explore all the new and soon to be new options you need to know about.
Just yesterday we speculated that Bongos, the Cuban-inspired Disney Springs restaurant owned by iconic singer Gloria Estefan, would close next week, and today we have confirmation that, indeed, the restaurant will close on August 18th.

The Orlando Sentinel cites Emily Clark of Lettuce Entertain You, who confirms that Bongos’ replacement will be Beatrix — which you can learn more about here!
A few months ago, we told you that Bongos Cuban Cafe, located in the West Side of Disney Springs, would close its doors this August. Well, friends, it looks like the dining location may close in less than a week.
