food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise and food updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Lately, we’ve seen many previously closed locations in Disney World start to reopen!
Kringla Bakeri og Kafe
Kringla Bakeri og Kafe in the Norway Pavilion and Sommerfest in the Germany Pavilion of EPCOT have both now opened up full time. We visited Harambe Market in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this past weekend for it’s reopening, and ABC Commissary has come back to Hollywood Studios with an improved menu! Now, we’re also seeing gift shops returning to operation, and it seems that two stores in EPCOT’s Italy pavilion may be reopening this weekend!
We’ve been keeping a close eye on all of the construction going on at the France pavilion in the area that will soon become Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, which is set to open in 2021!

It looks like the France pavilion is getting excited too. As we walked around today, we noticed that some adorable Ratatouille merchandise we saw last year is available again, including a super cute Chef Jacket!

Earlier this year we got a first look at the newest pair of Designer Mickey Ears by Bret Iwan (the VOICE of Mickey!). Production delays pushed these back from their summer release, but they’re finally here TODAYÂ and they didn’t come alone!
Our wish list keeps growing and growing each time we visit the Disney Parks or go on an online shopping spree! Disney has just been keeping up its A-game with cute apparel, accessories, and toys that we absolutely adore.
Holiday Merchandise
But, it can be a bit overwhelming to decide which gifts you should get for your family members. Would your mom love those Minnie earrings or new Dooney and Bourke bag more? Are your kiddos more into Star Wars or Marvel? Well, we’re here to help you find the best Disney gifts of the holiday season that your whole family will love!
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, early Black Friday sales are already starting to appear online!
Merchandise at Ale & Compass Market
And when those sales involve Disney merchandise, you KNOW we’re going to tell you all about it! And we just spotted an Early Access Black Friday sale at BoxLunch with up to 50% OFF select Disney merch!
Baby Yoda is undeniably cute, but we’re here to say that the Disney Wishables definitely give The Child a run for his money!
Beast Wishable
If you aren’t familiar with Disney Wishables, they’re ADORABLE little plushes featuring characters from some of your favorite movies like Beauty and the Beast and Coco, or some of your favorite attractions like the Jungle Cruise. And now a brand NEW collection of Wishables is available online and they’re making us feel…emotional!
Oh boy, we can’t WAIT for the new designer ears Disney has in store for us!

Bret Iwan (official voice-over actor for THE Mickey Mouse) gave us a sneak peek of new designer Mickey Mouse Ears earlier this year. The super impressive ears were originally supposed to debut in summer 2020, but production was delayed. Iwan took to Instagram today and let us know that the ears will be available VERY soon!
Hand sanitizer has ALWAYS been one of the top things we carry in our bags when going to a Disney theme park, but in 2020, keeping your hands squeaky clean has become more important than EVER!
Baby Yoda Hand Sanitizers
And we especially LOVE a hand sanitizer that helps to keep us safe AND keeps us stylish at the same time!
We’ve seen a lot of Baby Yoda merchandise in the parks and online ever since The Mandalorian first debuted. And, when we’re talking about the sheer amount of Baby Yoda items out there, it feels like it just keeps growing and growing. Especially now that season 2 is streaming on Disney+ and season 3 is in the works.
Baby Yoda Rice Krispie Treat
Since the holidays are just around the corner, stores are getting ready to release their most popular merchandise to guests ahead of time! And, we expected Baby Yoda to make quite a few Christmas lists. But, instead of having to dig through all the merchandise out there, we’ve gone through multiple gift guides and narrowed things down to 14 Baby Yoda items your whole family will love!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
