Wine Bar George, Rainforest Cafe, and MORE Disney World Restaurants CHANGED This Week

Okay, so we witnessed some changes this week in Disney World.

Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffle at The Cake Bake Shop

One of those changes was the opening of The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers (and y’all, we visited it SEVERAL times — you know — for science). We also ate a giant mozzarella stick for science because, well, cheese. Plus there were loaded fries (yes, our job is SO HARD LOL). However, the BIGGEST change we saw this week was with Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s get into those updates. We hope you’re sitting down for this.
