We love the Starbucks at Disney Springs Marketplace because it often surprises us with special limited-time drinks. So you can imagine how stoked we were when we found a drink on the menu today devoted to Iron-Man himself, Robert Downey Jr.

We can’t wait to dive into more cheese curds and pretzel bites (helloooo gouda cheese sauce), but we need to head over to the bar to find the perfect ‘pour’ to wash down all that cheesy goodness.
And you’ll wanna read this before you go — we’ve got a great way to save some cash money when you DO head to City Works in Disney World.
That’s right friends, we headed back to Planet Hollywood Observatory for a night of dinner, drinks, and random movie memorabilia!
Planet Hollywood Observatory
Some of you might remember that our first trip to the reimagined restaurant was…less than amazing. In fact, pretty underwhelming! You can read the whole review here. But we always enjoy heading back to restaurants time and time again to re-review and see if anything has changed.

Walt Disney World has been a destination for families since the Magic Kingdom threw open its gates back in 1971. But over the years, Disney magic has drawn in people of all ages, and today it’s completely common to see grown-ups enjoying the parks with out kids.
We thought it’d be fun to gather some ideas on how to make the most of a girls’ weekend at Walt Disney World — from tips on where to stay, what to do, and (of course!) where to eat!

Deciding where to stay during an adults-only trip can be a tough call
, and there are a few different approaches you might want to take.
If you’re looking to enjoy your vacation without breaking the bank, think about Disney World’s Value Resorts. Want to avoid the noise and crowds often associated with these massive resorts? Request a room far from the main building and pools — even on the backside of a building where you’re less likely to have noise from passersby.

But if you and your crew prefer to live the sweet life, consider booking a Deluxe Resort room — which is often a decent deal when you split it 2, 3, 0r 4 ways! These rooms offer more space and higher-end finishes. Plus some of the Deluxe Resorts have added perks — like great dining options and entertainment.
Have a hankering for some festive holiday spirits? Look no further than Disney Springs’ The Polite Pig, where they’ve got spirit in the form of Maple Bourbon Eggnog!
The Polite Pig
We caught wind of this delicious-sounding combo via The Polite Pig’s Instagram, and now we’ve got a craving for maple. And bourbon. And eggnog. Happy holidays, indeed, with this flavorful combination!
