food IS a theme park
We’re spotted some fun fall treats in Magic Kingdom today.
Pumpkin-Spiced Mickey Waffle Sundae
Spooky season really is on its way! The Halloween decorations may not be up yet, but the popcorn buckets we spotted today are already dressed up and ready to celebrate!
No one’s slick as Gaston, no one rides horses like Gaston, no one reopens a restaurant like Gaston!
Gaston in Magic Kingdom
That’s right! A little while ago we spotted some signs that seemed to suggest Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom would be reopening soon. Then, we got some official confirmation that it would be opening on Friday, September 4th. So, of course, we made our way over there today to check it out!
You know how they say “join the Dark Side…we have cookies?” Well, if those cookies are from Gideon’s Bakehouse…sign us up!
Triple Chocolate Cookie
If you’ve never heard of this special spot, get your taste buds ready. Gideon’s Bakehouse will soon be opening a location in Disney Springs, and now you’ve got the chance to be a part of their team!
Haunted Mansion fans have been treated to all kinds of frightful and delightful merchandise lately.
Madame Leota Tombstone
Those who love Madame Leota in particular have also gotten some great items just for them, like a Madame Leota Pandora charm. Now, Madame Leota is back in a brand NEW item that we found at Magic Kingdom today! Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat, show us this new merchandise, where is it at?
There are SO many delicious food and drink options available at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
France
But, we’re always on the lookout for anything new, and sure enough, just yesterday we heard about a new wine coming to the France festival booth. Today, we got the chance to dry this new wine and we’re bringing you all the details!
Sometimes, nothing beats a good DOLE Whip float.
Dole Whip from Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs
Earlier today, we heard about a new Pina Colada DOLE Whip Float that had made its way over to Disney Springs, and (of course) we RAN over to try it. It’s a hard job, but someone’s got to do it!
From Macaron Minnie ears, to a Mademoiselle Minnie spirit jersey, we’ve spotted all kinds of fun new things in the France pavilion in EPCOT.
The France Pavilion
While the new merchandise is all nice, we get especially excited about new food; and today, we got the chance to try a brand new food item at the France festival booth for the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival!
Ever go on a shopping spree in a Walt Disney World theme park and then wish someone at the park could just hold all your stuff while you go ride your favorite attractions?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Before the closure and reopening, you could purchase items at Disney gift shops around the park and either have those items sent to the front of the park for you to pick up at the end of the day, or have the items sent to your Disney hotel room. Since the reopening, however, that special feature has not been available. But, now, a store in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is giving guests a taste of the old system, with some modifications.
While the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort is currently open, Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure remain closed.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
Some changes we’ve spotted could mean we’re getting closer to Disneyland reopening, but all of the details are all still being worked out. Now, we’ve spotted a small update that is giving us a better idea at least of when the Disneyland Resort Hotels may be reopening.
You’ve gotten your DOLE whip the traditional way. You’ve tried the raspberry flavor and the lime version. You may have even had some DOLE whip with a pineapple upside cake, or as part of a float.
Raspberry Dole Whip
But…have you ever had a Pina Colada Float Topped with DOLE Whip?! Well, now you can at this Disney Springs spot!
