Who says you need a park ticket to have fun at Disney World? Thanks to a little shopping district known as Disney Springs, we can eat, explore, and shop without stepping foot in a Disney park. Sorry, Space Mountain, we’ve got other plans today!

Disney Springs has some INCREDIBLE restaurants (plus some killer bakeries, too), and plenty of places to shop! Whether you’re there for the new food, entertainment, or merchandise (or maybe a little of everything!), come with us to see what’s new over in Disney Springs!

Disney Springs Food Updates

Vivoli il Gelato

First up, we tried Vivoli il Gelato’s Mint Cookies and Cream Milkshake for $12.

This milkshake is made with Mint and Cookies and Cream Gelato, Chocolate Sauce, Whipped Cream, and Crushed Oreos. If you can’t choose between a shamrock shake or a cookies and cream shake, now you don’t have to!

Gideon’s Bakehouse

For just a short time, Gideon’s Bakehouse had a few limited edition treats for St. Patrick’s Day! We ordered the Limited Edition Bite Bag, which contained Triple Chocolate Salted Andes Mint Bites. Basically, that means we got to snack on some yummy Gideon’s cookie bites that were dipped in chocolate and topped with green sugar crystals. It was very minty, but delicious!

We also had to try the Mega Mint St. Patrick’s Day Cake, which was made with three layers of vanilla cake and super mint green buttercream. 

Those tasty treats came and went FAST — we’re talking one day only! But if they sounded good to you, keep your eyes out; they might return next year!

Amorette’s Patisserie

Amorette’s Patisserie has a seasonal Aisling Blasta treat!

It’s made with layers of praline, whiskey-scented vanilla chiffon cake, and Bailey’s pastry cream.

Goofy’s Candy Company

We LOVE to tell our readers about Karamell-Küche in the EPCOT World Showcase; it’s a shop FILLED with smooth, sweet Werther’s caramel treats.  Now, Goofy’s Candy Co. in Disney Springs has some of the Werther’s treats we know and love, too!

This is GREAT for guests hoping to try a sweet Werther’s treat without a park ticket! Dare we call this a snack hack?!
