food IS a theme park
We hope you like playing games because Disney Springs is in the middle of a little shopping musical chairs right now.
Disney Springs
We’ve seen new stores arrive, old stores move locations, and even reported some temporary closures along the way. But the fun isn’t over quite yet! We’re still waiting for new dining options, like Summer House on the Lake and eet by Maneet Chauhan, plus a few new stores! So, what’s up with Disney Springs? Let’s take a look!
Having a Disney Visa comes with some pretty sweet perks! We’ve talked about the special dining and merchandise discounts before, but did you know that there are some special experiences and events available for those with a Disney Visa card?

Disney doesn’t advertise these experiences very loudly, so it’s easy to walk right past some FREE events without even knowing that they’re available! Next time you go to Disney World, be sure to check out these exclusive experiences!
Does anyone else get super excited at the very thought of a new Disney dining location? Of course, we’ll always be loyal to our old favorites, like Trader Sam’s and the Blue Bayou, but it’s nice to mix it up every once in a while, right? Well, now that The Villas at Disneyland Hotel is open in Disneyland, we’ve got even MORE new eats and drinks to check out.
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel
Get ready to clear your schedules and chow down on some savory new snacks — a NEW Disneyland bar is opening soon, and Disney just shared a preview of the menu!

Mickey BREAD!
After returning from a recent visit to Tokyo, we can safely confirm that waiting in lines for all those Disney snacks takes a LOT longer than you might think. Luckily, Tokyo Disney Resort just made a BIG announcement that could fix the problem!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Say WHAT?! Around Disney World, the holidays kind of blend together by the time we reach October. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are all mixed together for a Disney-fied Hallo-giving-mas celebration. It’s a little confusing, but we just roll with it.
