food IS a theme park
March was a BIG month of news for Disney World and lots of news can sometimes make for surprises!
Walt Disney World
From dining changes to health measure updates and more, let’s take a look at the four most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
It may only be April 1st, but Disney World is already celebrating Easter with new treats, an egg hunt, giant chocolate eggs, and more!
Easter Bunny Cupcake
While we’ve been busy trying all the new springtime goodies, we visited Disney’s BoardWalk for not one, not two, but THREE new April drinks! And y’all — marshmallow PEEPS are involved.
When most people think about Disney World, they probably think of happy little kids meeting Mickey for the first time, all the nostalgic memories from the days of yesteryear, and of course — FOOD.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort
But, what most people DON’T think of is a super hoppin’ and lively piano bar situated just steps away from EPCOT (literally). Disney’s Jellyrolls exists, and boy do people love it! This popular nighttime spot is just for adults 21 and up, and they do charge admission to get in — and it looks like that admission price has just gone up!
Earlier this month, Disney announced that a new table-service restaurant would be coming to Disney’s BoardWalk — The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers!

This restaurant is expected to open in 2023, and today, Disney shared a little more about the creator of the restaurant, Gwendolyn Rogers.
Disney World must have known that we’d feel robbed by the announcement that our beloved BoardWalk Bakery will be transformed into a sandwich shop because they pulled out all the stops to distract us by also announcing that a 🚨 BRAND NEW RESTAURANT 🚨 is coming instead — The Cake Bake Shop!

Expected to open in 2023, The Cake Bake Shop is said to bring a “whimsical atmosphere that complements the magic of the idyllic charm of Disney’s BoardWalk that guests know and love” according to Disney. But, this new restaurant and bakeshop won’t be unique to Disney World — there are actually already TWO locations in the U.S. owned by the award-winning Gwendolyn Rogers. So, why wait to start dreaming up what will be offered on the sweet and savory menus, as well as afternoon tea service? We’re diving into the menus that are currently offered at the two Indiana locations to see what we can expect when it opens in Disney World!
Okay, so Disney World might not exactly be New York City — this isn’t the City That Never Sleeps, after all — but it isn’t the sleepy early bird vibe either!
Spaceship Earth at night
While Disney World is obviously a mecca for kids and families, there are actually LOTS of ways of adults to stay entertained late at night! Even waaaaay past our bedtime at midnight!
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here and there are PLENTY of ways to celebrate in Disney World!
So many ways to celebrate!
Whether you’re buying some stylish green accessories, trying out some limited-time treats around the parks and resorts, or heading to a special meal, there are plenty of things you can check out in the next few days and weeks. And recently, we stopped by Disney’s BoardWalk to try some EXCLUSIVE drinks that you can order for the occasion!
Forget looking for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow 🌈…
BoardWalk Bakery
…what we want to see for St. Patrick’s Day is all the St. Patrick’s Day snacks and drinks coming to Disney World! So far, we’ve tried a frosting-heavy St. Patrick’s Day cupcake, a boozy drink called the Good Luck Charm, and more! But now we’re headed over to Disney’s BoardWalk Bakery to try out FIVE more green treats! Get ready to whip out the wet wipes because you might be COVERED in green dye 41 after devouring them all.
Disney World is constantly changing!
Disney’s BoardWalk is changing!
That’s very much in line with Walt’s original vision for the parks — something that would never really be completed. We’ve already seen the France Pavilion at EPCOT get updated (complete with a new attraction), the EPCOT transformation gets closer to completion every day, and Magic Kingdom is well on its way to the opening of the new TRON coaster. And now we’ve heard about some BIG changes coming to Disney’s BoardWalk!
BIG changes are coming to Disney’s BoardWalk!
You might want to hang out on the BoardWalk instead!
If you take a stroll down Disney’s BoardWalk you’ll find a number of restaurants, shops, entertainment, and more in the 9,000 square foot district — but new things are coming and a few things are changing, so here’s what you need to know, especially if you’re a fan of the BoardWalk Bakery.
