food IS a theme park
Greetings from Disney Springs!
Christmas Tree in Disney Springs
We’re back in one of our favorite parts of Disney World taking in all the holiday decor, shopping, and snacks! Eating our way through all the new treats for the holidays is not something we take lightly — we do it all in the name of theme park snack science (okay, and for you, too!). And now, it’s time to check out another NEW treat over in Disney Springs!
If you’re not going to Disney Springs during your Disney World trip, you might be missing out!
Disney Springs
On what, you may ask? Well, dozens of unique stores with cool merchandise, some of the BEST restaurants in all of Disney World, and several particularly fun and over-the-top snacks! Plus, the shopping and dining complex has several entertainment options with live music, Cirque du Soleil, a movie theater, and more. BUT if you haven’t been in a minute, some things have changed — so today, we’re sharing everything that’s new in Disney Springs!
Ever heard the words, “You have to finish all your food before you can have dessert?”

Now your childhood dreams are coming true, because you can have dessert for breakfast in Disney World! Yeah, you can already count us in.
It’s been a long time coming, but Flame Tree Barbecue is back open for business at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
As you may remember (or perhaps experienced if you’ve paid a visit to Animal Kingdom since New Year’s), Flame Tree Barbecue closed for refurbishment on January 5th. Since it is arguably the most popular Counter Service spot at Animal Kingdom, measures were taken to ensure guests could still enjoy a few Flame Tree dishes at alternate locations even while it was closed. This ended up being a very good thing, since the refurbishment — originally slated for an early April reopening — was extended into May… aaaaand then into June… when it finally reopened on the 30th of the June.
So, today we’re going to visit all of the counter service spots affected by the refurb (Flame Tree Barbecue itself and the alternate food locations) to see how things have shaped up. Because, you see, Flame Tree Barbecue isn’t the only place that received a bit of makeover (heads up: the Allergy-Friendly Kiosk has a new location!). But since Flame Tree Barbecue IS the main topic, why don’t we just start there?
Welcome back, Flame Tree Barbecue!
