What’s New at Disney World Resorts: 3 Princess Desserts and an Ornament with a Hidden Surprise

Disney has a lot of hotels on property, with fun themes and delicious food.

Disney’s Beach Club Resort

There’s been a lot of new stuff in the parks lately between World Princess Week and Halloween-time, but what about all the hotels? We’re heading to several Disney World hotels to see what’s changed this week.

Let’s start with some EPCOT-area Resorts.

BoardWalk Inn Food Update

Over at the BoardWalk Inn, the BoardWalk Ice Cream stand is now serving milkshakes! We tried a couple of different flavors, including this Cookies and Cream Currents one.

Cookies ‘n Cream and Currant

Other flavors included Vacation Vanilla, Strawberry Riptide, Coastal Chocolate, Plant-based Vanilla Cyclone, and Plant-Based Chocolate Cyclone. All the milkshakes on the menu were $5.49.

Outside the shops at the BoardWalk, Cast Members were hard at work replacing the pebbled walkways.

The area where you can usually find bike rentals was walled off for this construction.

We stopped in the Screendoor General Store to check out any new merchandise. We found this Abracadabar hat for $27.99, which is themed after the Bar and Lounge on the BoardWalk.
