Greetings from Disney Springs!
Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district surprised and impressed on our most recent visit with some new eats… and we may have picked up a favorite standby, while we were at it (because Dole Whip Nachos are always a good idea). But there’s plenty of new merchandise to check out, too, along with a construction update to share.
Let’s dive in!
Disney Springs Food Updates
Earl of Sandwich
It’s always a good day to stop by the Earl of Sandwich in the Marketplace.
But that’s most certainly true now that the new Beefy Mac and Cheesy Sandwich has hit the scene!
Roast beef, mac and cheese(!!), and MORE CHEESE make up this noteworthy limited-time offering.
Check out our full review of the Beefy Mac and Cheesy Sandwich here!
The Daily Poutine
But that’s not all when it comes to new savory snacking in the Springs. We visited The Daily Poutine, too.
Because THAT’s where they’re now serving up the new Butter Chicken Poutine…. WHAAAAT?!?
YES! French Fries, Tomato Curry Sauce, Chicken, and Paneer Cheese make up this unexpected, limited-time offering. What will they think of next? We can’t wait to see… and TASTE!

Gideon’s Bakehouse
The new Gideon’s Bakehouse is welcoming guests once again!
This highly-anticipated cookie and cake eatery soft-opened for a time at the very end of 2020 in The Landing. After taking some time in a brief closure to prepare in full for the official Grand Opening this Saturday, the spot has reopened again TODAY.
And we’ve got the MASSIVE CAKE SLICE to prove it!

Marketplace Snacks
Ok, so the Dole Whip Nachos are not new.
They’ve been serving this dish up at Marketplace Snacks for a while now. But since we couldn’t resist stopping by to pick up a batch…
… we just thought we’d provide a friendly reminder that DOLE WHIP NACHOS EXIST. You’re welcome. ;-D

Disney Springs Construction Update
M&M’s Store
Things have certainly BRIGHTENED UP on the West Side as of our last visit to the site for the upcoming M&M’s Store!
That completely vivid and recognizable M&M YELLOW is now gracing part of the exterior thanks to a recent paint job.
You can see more of the work-in-progress here.

Disney Springs Merchandise Updates
Ever After Jewelry Co.
Have you seen the new Dooney & Bourke Mickey and Minnie Love bags, all ready for Valentine’s Day?
While we’ve spotted them in Animal Kingdom previously (and they’re also available on shopDisney), we took another look at the line as the collection is currently also available at Ever After Jewelry Co. in the Town Center.
See the complete Dooney & Bourke Mickey and Minnie Love collection here!
They also had the Stitch and Angel Loungefly Mini Backpack, too.
Aaawww…
We also spotted this particular Loungefly at our next stop…
World of Disney
Wanna take Mickey (or Minnie, or more Disney pals) along wherever you go?
We don’t blame you! And the new Disney Character Plush Crossbody Bags let your favorite pal join you along the way!
Each of the options are $34.99, and we found good ol’ lovable Mickey Mouse hanging out and waiting for you…
Minnie’s in a pink gown and she’s ready to go!
Sulley’s also at your service.
And the Rainbow Unicorn is as eye-catching as always.
Disney’s Pin Traders
Our final stop is Disney’s Pin Traders, where we found a new Tarzan pin.
And the Meme Pin Sets which we’ve spotted previously are available here now, too.
And that’s a wrap for this ’round! And if you’re wondering what else is new in Disney World right now…
