food IS a theme park
Salt & Straw in Disney Springs has given us not one, not two, but FIVE treats to try out this month!
New year, new menu items!
Our New Year’s resolution is to work our way through this new menu.
Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, the Disney Springs locale famous for its grilled cheese sandwich on a donut, is stepping into 2023 the only way they know how.
Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew
With a brand-new menu item!
Well, December was quite a month in Disney World. We ate SO MANY holiday snacks that our tongues will be red and green for at least another month.

We also got news on some NEW restaurants, including The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Carousel Coffee (which has officially opened!). There were also some changes to menus at Disney World restaurants, so here are ALL of them for the month!
There’s no question that a trip to Disney is expensive. When you factor in resort rooms, park tickets, dining costs, and souvenirs, it can all add up (and that’s not even including extras like Genie+, PhotoPass, and special events or tours)! Some families save up for years just so they can afford a Disney vacation.
Disney World is EXPENSIVE!
Let’s jump into our list of the BEST free things in Disney World right now. (Whew! Setting the bar high off the get-go, amiright?)
With Disney’s 100th anniversary and New Year’s approaching, there’s no shortage of things to celebrate at Disney World — and who doesn’t like celebrating with ice cream?
Salt and Straw
You might even be tempted to celebrate Veganuary next month when you see the new ice cream flavors coming to Disney Springs and Downtown Disney!
A Disney Springs store is CLOSING, and it’s closing soon!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs has seen a lot of changes over the years — from the transformation of Downtown Disney to Disney Springs, the announcement of new restaurants, and the arrival of new stores. And soon it looks like more changes will be taking place in this shopping and dining district.
Were you one of the few who lucked out with Taylor Swift tickets last month? Lucky ducky!!

Fortunately, for those of us that didn’t get tickets, we still have some other great news to keep us going, like the fact that Taylor will be writing and directing her own feature-length film for Disney?! And now we have news of a celebration is happening in her honor THIS WEEK!
One thing that’s inevitable in Disney World is change.
Change is inevitable in Disney World
New attractions open, while old ones close. There’s always some kind of construction going on. That’s all part of Walt Disney’s original vision, after all — parks that change and expand and grow with the times. So one thing we can be sure of in 2023 is that there’s going to be even MORE change from 2022.
If you’re in Disney World today, there’s one place you need to RUSH to so you can grab some limited-time snacks!
Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs
Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs often has limited-time and seasonal snacks available, but Christmas Day is a particularly special occasion at this spot. Here’s what you need to know.
Disney World is constantly changing.
Cinderella Castle
From the hotel renovations happening around Disney World to the new 1ooth anniversary merchandise to the new restaurants coming next year, Disney likes to keep us on our toes. While these new things are nice and exciting, did you know there’s a FREE Disney service you probably haven’t been using in Disney World?! Even more shocking…it’s been around for a WHILE!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
