food IS a theme park
Disney Springs will begin a phased reopening on May 20th, and we are currently keeping readers informed of all the restaurants and shops that will reopen in Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district on that day.

There’s an adorable tumbler for sale at Disney Springs that you’ll want to check out if you’re a fan of Country Bear Jamboree!
Spotted at the Marketplace Co-Op, this clear tumbler features all of your favorite characters from the classic attraction playing in Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom (and in Disney parks around the world!).

The construction has been going on for some time now, causing traffic in the Disney Springs area.

Disney Springs recently welcomed two brand-new kiosks.
One, Spunky Stork, offers fun and creative shirts and onesies for your whole family — and the other, Royally Yours by Arribas Brothers, offers anything the princess in your life could ever dream of owning!
Spunky Stork in Disney Springs
We are loving the clever Big and Littles matching shirts at The Spunky Stork — plus they are organic! There are so many designs to choose from, but first, we’ve got to talk about this particular onesie…
Walt Disney World
is never shy to jump on the bandwagon of snack trends, and we love them for it! Edible cookie dough is one such trend — and it’s popping up all over the place! We first spotted it at All-Star Sports back in July, then it arrived (in Mickey style!!) at AristoCrepes in Disney Springs. Now there’s a second Disney Springs locale getting in on the action: B. B. Wolf’s!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Flavor combinations in edible cookie dough can be as diverse as cookies themselves, and AristoCrepes offered the most unique combo we’d seen thus far with Gingerbread Butterscotch. But B. B. Wolf’s is taking it there with Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Bacon in dessert can be a little hit or miss for us, but this one looks promising enough with lots of crispy bacon bits on top of the otherwise ordinary-looking cookie dough. The bacon, sadly, isn’t caramelized or sweetened in anyway, so it’s just a serious savory bomb. This creates a really stark contrast to the otherwise sweet dessert.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
For us, this uber-savory addition didn’t work. It’s too salty and overpowers the (relatively nonexistent) maple and chocolate, both of which take a backseat to the super-salty bacon. There are plenty of chocolate chips in there, but they can’t compete with the bossy bacon. And the cookie dough flavor itself just isn’t there.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
The concept we do not dispute, but it’s a little clunky and thus out of balance. If you’re spending $4.50, find a snack that’s hitting all the right notes, not one that needs to be edited.
What kind of cookie dough would you love to see the Disney Parks try next? Let us know in the comments!
Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs
is packed wall-to-wall with terrific places to grab a meal, but sometimes, even with all the new choices, you might want to enjoy an old favorite. For us, Earl of Sandwich has been a consistently tasty spot to pick up a quick service sandwich and sides. And at a recent media event, we were excited to revisit two holiday favorites and a brand new holiday offering!
Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs
You know the holiday eats are a big deal with the Earl is in the house — holding his beloved Holiday Turkey Sandwich.

World of Disney Store
The centerpiece store — and still the world’s largest — carries every type of Disney merchandise you can imagine, and it’s long been a popular stop for Disney World guests looking for the perfect souvenir to remember their Disney World vacations. [Read more…]
Disney Springs
at Walt Disney World is a shopping and dining district with — believe it or not! — over 100 shops! And one of our favorite stops is the Marketplace Co-Op, which houses several shopping experiences and often serves as a petri dish for items that eventually make their way into the Parks.
