Do you love dining in Disney Springs?!
Disney Springs
With so many restaurants to choose from, it can be hard to decide where to go. That’s why we like to tell you when new dishes are announced at the Disney Springs restaurants.
You might not believe this but there are still a few things in Disney World that have not reopened since the parks closed for COVID-19.
Monsieur Paul
One of those locations was Monsieur Paul, a restaurant in EPCOT. But that is finally changing because the restaurant has officially reopened its doors!
Okay, so we might not be jamming out in the car to “Jingle Bells” just yet.
Animal Kingdom Lodge Christmas Tree
But, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t time to get a head start on holiday shopping. New Disney holiday merch is constantly dropping online and tends to be a pretty hot commodity, so you will want to grab it while you still can!
Happy fall, everyone! We love this time of year at home, but we especially love it at Disney World.
Halloween in Disney World
Not only does it mean fall merch and decorations, but it also means Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Halloween treats! And speaking of treats, a ton of new and returning items are in the resort for Halloween time. So, let’s try the returning Candy Corn Milkshake from Hollywood Scoops in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
WOW! It’s the 40th Anniversary of EPCOT.
FIGMENT!
To celebrate the big occasion, Disney has released merchandise and some themed treats and drinks like the Figment Sponge Cake. Lots of the treats are super colorful, and the Sake Cocktail Flight at Garden House is no exception.
