food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at the Epcot Resorts!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise and food updates to share with you since our last visit, so let’s dive right on in!
Valentine’s Day is finally here (and we are feeling ALL the love today)!
PhotoPass Valentine’s Day
While we’ve spotted Valentine’s cupcakes in Animal Kingdom and Saratoga Springs Resort, there’s another dessert making its way into the Disney Resorts for the holiday!
Hey, friends, we’re back with another update from Disney World! Today, we’re checking out everything new that’s happening at Disney’s Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach Club, and Swan and Dolphin Resorts.
The Boardwalk
There’s a few new snacks to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day this Friday and some sweet, sweet Mickey and Minnie merch. Let’s get started!
We’re back at Beaches & Cream, babyyyyy!
Beaches and Cream
As you’ve probably heard, mostly because we can’t stop talking about it, today is the official opening date for the renovated Beaches & Cream and we are PUMPED. This iconic ice cream and soda shop has been closed for significant expansion for the past few months. Yesterday, we got in during a soft open and got to try some new menu items. Well, today we’re back for the ribbon cutting AND for some more of those good, good Beaches & Cream eats!
Aaaaawwwwww yeah!
OK, I know most people probably don’t think it’s fun to write a blog post on Christmas Eve while their family is playing games at the kitchen table, but 1) I don’t want to play Minecraft on their giant family realm, and 2) THIS IS SUCH GOOD NEWS I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF!!! I get to tell you ab0ut BEACHES AND CREAM reopening and that is the best. Christmas. present. ever.
Beaches and Cream
Now, yes, I did mention that our amazing DFB reporting team was spending the holidays at HOME with their FAMILIES; but it just so happened that one of our incredible team members swung by the Boardwalk in Disney World after all and was delighted to pop into Beaches and Cream for their soft opening today! Win-win!
Two things: 1) Did you know Disney World has a super fun and beloved Ice Cream and Soda Shoppe called Beaches and Cream that’s been closed for refurb since August and is OPENING BACK UP ON THURSDAY?; and 2) Did you know Disney World has a super fun and already-beloved new President who just subtly slid us a hint on a NEW SHAKE that may be debuting there??
Beaches and Cream
Buckle up, friends — there’s too much good stuff to share!
Hello princesses, Jedi knights, Mouseketeers, and whoever else might be reading along today!
Spaceship Earth
It’s the end of a busy week at Disney, and time to gear up for an even busier one! That’s right, Christmas Day is next week which means we’re facing up with one of the busiest Disney World weeks of the whole year. With sooo many people headed to the parks next week, it’s all the more helpful to know what won’t be open. Check out next week’s round-up of everything closed in Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom!
And the hats just keep comin’! That’s right! We’re back with one more Santa hat snack we just discovered at Disney World! There’s so many now, we’ve just about lost count!
Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel
Hat’s off to the newest Santa Hat dessert to hit the holiday food scene — the Chocolate Santa Mousse! We can’t wait to see what this HAT tastes like, after developing quite a fondness for Santa hats this week!
It’s time to get into the holiday spirit. And we really mean SPIRIT.

On this fittingly stormy day at Disney World, we traveled over to Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill at the Beach Club Resort to check out the newest cocktail blowing its way into the pool bar!
When you’re in the mood to cool down with a giant cup of ice cream in Disney World, there’s one place that comes to mind — Beaches and Cream!
Beaches & Cream
Located between the Yacht Club and Beach Club Resorts in the Epcot Resort Area, Beaches and Cream is a staple in Disney, serving up ice cream, burgers, hot dogs, and more in a boardwalk-style restaurant. Since August, the beloved shop has been closed for refurbishment. And although there has been a temporary location, we’ve been missing this ice cream sundae stop (where else can you get this MASSIVE Kitchen Sink?!). Luckily, it looks like the refurbishment is coming to a close – and Beaches and Cream might be reopening sooner than you’d think!
