As an Ice Cream Window CLOSES 🍦, a Cookie-Filled Door OPENS 🍪 in Disney World This Week!

We’ve been keeping our eye on all the food at Disney World this week including been keeping track of holiday menu updates and holiday food offerings ’round the “World!”

Gideon’s Bakehouse

We had some interesting Christmas week updates to share, so let’s dig in!

Disney Springs

Gideon’s Bakehouse

We’ve been waiting for Gideon’s Bakehouse to open FOR-E-VER (okay, not forever, but at least since they announced the location at Disney Springs). That glorious day finally arrived with a soft open full of cookies, cake, and interesting decor!

Original Chocolate Chip Cookie

Guys, we ate a TON of cookies and cake and it was GLORIOUS. Coffee Cake Cookies, Cookie Von Krampus Cookies, Red Velvet Cake as big as your face, Peanut Butter (!!) Cold Brew Coffee…oh my. Seriously, Merry Christmas to us!

Wondermade

A brand new pop-up shop at Disney Springs arrived this week: Wondermade Marshmallows! This is THE place to get some wonderful hand-made flavored marshmallows.

EPCOT

Tokyo Dining

Tokyo Dining has reopened temporarily, but with several menu changes! One of those changes is that desserts have been completely knocked off the menu! Guests will no longer get to finish off their meals with Mango Mousse, Chocolate Tofu Mousse, or Matcha Tiramisu.

Tokyo Dining

Instead, they’re focusing on their fish dishes. Here’s what changed with those:

  • The Salmon Poke Bowl ($16) now includes cubed tuna
  • NEW: Seared Salmon is now listed under Sashimi for $15. This is a thinly sliced and flamed fish served with Ponzu sauce, fried garlic chips, marinated green onions, and cucumbers.
  • The Bluefin Tuna Sushimi price has increased from $15 to $16
  • The Spicy Crunchy Roll ($13) is now made with marinated tuna and salmon in soy sauce with tempura crunch
  • The Volcano Roll ($18) no longer has scallops and shrimp — it’s now made with tuna, salmon, and smelt roe
  • NEW:  Shrimp Tempura Roll ($15) is a crunchy inside-out roll with eight pieces of shrimp, served with Kampyo, which is a dried Japanese gourd
  • Miso Soup ($4) is now made with a bonito miso broth, green onions, tofu, and wakame

Fresh Sashimi Sampler

Tokyo Dining will be open from December 26th through December 31st.
