There is so much to do, even OUTSIDE the parks, including miniature golf, nightclubs, fun bars and lounges, and shopping in Disney Springs.

Disney Springs seems to have something for everyone to enjoy!
Cirque Du Soleil Drawn to Life pre-show
There are so many restaurants to explore and try, special merchandise that may not be available anywhere else, and even a show you can check out!

Magic Kingdom’s Stage Show
But, what’s better than a show? A show AND FOOD. Luckily, Disney has a variety of dining packages you can take advantage of, like the ones during the various EPCOT festivals and the fireworks dessert parties. But, there’s one dining package you’re probably not aware of in Disney World!
Live entertainment has had a tumultuous few years.

For instance, the new Cirque du Soleil show in Disney Springs, Drawn to Life, had a significantly delayed opening due to the global health crisis. Last year, it finally did open but now, it seems there has been a sudden cancellation of a performance.
Another day, another donut. Back in the day, there used to be some EPIC TV crossover events on the Disney channel, and what about that time ALL the Disney IP came together in one movie (shoutout to Ralph Breaks the Internet!)? Well, we’ve got a different kind of crossover today, and it involves DONUTS!
We “donut” know what we’d do without this place!
A new donut made its way to Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs (warning: it’s got that infamous blue dye), but is it worth a try? Let’s find out!
 We do our best to keep y’all updated with all the new things going on in Disney World.
Disney Springs
We’ve recently taken a look at what’s new at the Disney World hotels and in EPCOT, but it’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve taken you on a tour of all the updates in Disney Springs. There are LOTS of new snacks to see, some festive merchandise, and a BIG event opening to cover. So let’s get going!
While the Disney Parks are filled with shows, characters, and rides, there is also A LOT to do outside of the parks, including quite a few things that you might now know about!
Cirque du Soleil at Disney Springs
There are dinner shows at select Disney World hotels (though these are currently suspended), an entire shopping and dining district that is FREE to visit, and more. And, after a 19-month delay, there’s now a brand NEW show that you can only see if you’re visiting Disney World!
We’ve seen a TON of things return to Disney World this year!
You can meet Mickey again!
Restaurants have reopened, pre-shows came back, and there are even modified character meet and greets again. But, some things still haven’t come back, like the Cirque du Soleil shows in Disney Springs. The new show, Drawn to Life, was set to officially debut in Spring 2020, but then Disney World was shut down and the show was put on hold. But now, the show is finally about to be available — opening night is this Thursday, November 18th! And, one sweet spot in Disney Springs is celebrating with a NEW dessert.
