While Planet Hollywood was one of the first restaurants in Disney Springs to announce they’d be reopening on May 2oth, we were surprised to find the restaurant unexpectedly closed down last week!

But while walking off our Birthday Cake Shake from the newly reopened Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs today, we found out Planet Hollywood is open once AGAIN!

Planet Hollywood reopened at 4PM today without any visible reason why the restaurant had mysteriously closed its doors.

The Disney Springs’ website was a little glitchy and still showing the restaurant as being closed, but we can assure ya it’s now open.

Swing by Planet Hollywood from 4PM to 9PM on weekdays or 11:30AM to 9PM on Saturday and Sundays for a B-A-N-A-N-A-S Boozy Milkshake once more!

Did you think it was strange that Planet Hollywood closed down after its initial reopening? Let us know what you thought in the comments below!

Post date June 9, 2020

Just moments ago, we told you Vivoli il Gelato had finally reopened in Disney Springs!

Birthday Cake Shake

And now we’re back to share all the delicious deets regarding a certain special menu item — the Birthday Cake Shake!

While originally Vivoli il Gelato had hoped to open its doors on May 22nd, we stopped by that day to see the shop was still closed. An employee told us they were aiming to reopen by June 1oth which is Vivoli il Gelato’s 5-year anniversary! We were SUPER excited to see them up and running today — and to celebrate, we’re diving into their Birthday Cake Shake!

Birthday Cake Shake

Oh hello, gorgeous! Where have you been hiding all of our lives?! This “birthday present in a cup” features cake batter gelato blended with milk and it’s topped with a cupcake, whipped cream, and rainbow confetti sprinkles!

Words don’t do the insanity of the Birthday Cake Shake justice, but we’ll try our best to explain what’s going on with this thing! First of all, the gelato tastes just like how you would expect it to taste! Hey, we’re just as guilty of licking the bowl while baking a cake as you guys are! The gelato tastes just like yummy cake batter!

But that’s just one layer of the madness that is happening here! Don’t forget this puppy comes with its own cupcake topper which is super moist and delicious too!

For $14, the Birthday Cake Shake is more of a meal than a snack, but cake lovers won’t want to miss out on this amazing treat. We’ll be stopping by Vivoli il Gelato to see if they have any special items for their 5-year anniversary at Disney Springs since we were told there might be a new shake, bombolato, and peanut butter cannoli in the works, so stay tuned!

NEWS! The Vivoli il Gelato Cart Is Serving Up Scoops Again in the Disney Springs Marketplace

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 9, 2020

The cutest little cart you ever did see — the Vivoli il Gelato Cart — is serving up cold, creamy scoops of gelato once more in the Disney Springs Marketplace!

Vivoli il Gelato Cart

As a reminder, you’ll find the storefront for Vivoli il Gelato over in The Landing area of Disney Springs. And, as of today, it’s now reopen, too!

This cheerful bicycle cart, though, typically makes its home in the Marketplace right near the World of Disney store and The Daily Poutine. (You’ll notice a new line marker placed in front of it to promote safe distancing.)

While it offers a more limited menu than the concoctions — including over-the-top Shakes, Sundaes, and Floats — which you’ll find in the storefront, the flavor selection is still impressive for such a small spot.

Vivoli il Gelato Cart Flavor Menu

Flavors, which can rotate, currently include — but aren’t limited to — Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies & Cream, Lemon, and Cotton Candy! You can select a Mini Cup, or one or two full scoops.

No matter which you choose, we highly suggest you go ahead and add those sprinkles! Oh, and speaking of sprinkles… we’re going to take you along as we taste the Birthday Cake Shake (complete with cake batter gelato, whipped cream, an entire cupcake, AND — you guessed it — sprinkles!) from the Vivoli il Gelato storefront soon, so stay tuned right here!!

Surprise! Vivoli il Gelato Is Now Open in Disney World!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 9, 2020

While Vivoli il Gelato was originally supposed to reopen on May 22nd, the spot ran into some issues and it has remained closed this whole time!

Vivoli il Gelato

That is — UNTIL TODAY! Vivoli il Gelato is now open! Let’s take a peek inside!

Just like the rest of the shops and dining spots we’ve been visiting, Vivoli il Gelato has implemented several new safety guidelines. We noticed social distancing markers have been placed on the ground…

Social Distancing Markers

…while plexiglass shields have been installed at the counters including around the cash register. A sign states Vivoli il Gelato is encouraging guests to use contactless payment methods.

We found out Vivoli il Gelato is still giving out samples of its delicious gelato flavors, but has limited them to two per guest. We’ll be back in just a little bit with a review of their Birthday Cake Shake, so sit tight while we guzzle it down!

Review! We’re Sippin’ on TWO New Summer-Themed Drinks at Starbucks in Disney World!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 9, 2020

We thought finding these new neon yellow MagicBands at World of Disney this morning would be the highlight of our day!

Summer Specials

But that was before we realized the Marketplace Starbucks in Disney Springs had not one, but TWO new summer drink specials!

Don’t worry if you haven’t gotten the chance to partake in Starbucks’ other new drinks including the Welcome Back and Love is Love! They’re still available!

Starbucks Menu

But today we’re setting out to explore the new Campfire Cold Brew and Picnic Punch that have just appeared! We gotta say — both of these drinks look and SMELL absolutely amazing! We can’t wait to see how they taste!

Campfire Cold Brew and Picnic Punch

First up, the new Campfire Cold Brew featuring Starbucks’ signature nitro cold brew blended with milk chocolate topped with a marshmallow cold foam and graham cracker crumbs! Before tax, this one set us back $7.35.

Campfire Cold Brew

We didn’t pick up much of the marshmallow or milk chocolate because the richness of the cold brew was so powerful! If you like a strong cold coffee drink with just a hint of sweetness, we think you should definitely give the Campfire Cold Brew a try! If you want it a little sweeter, ask for more foam on top or an extra pump of chocolate syrup to help those flavors stand out a little more!

Campfire Cold Brew

Next, we sampled the new Picnic Punch! This one’s a pineapple matcha drink that comes topped with a strawberry sweet cream cold foam and costs $7.40 before tax!

Picnic Punch

We seemed to think the flavors of this drink were a little more to our liking! The creamy strawberry foam was super yummy and it’s the exact same foam they’re using for the Love is Love drink which to us kinda taste like delicious melty strawberry ice cream!

Picnic Punch

Although we don’t normally reach for iced green tea drinks, the strawberry cream seemed to mask some of the matcha’s bitterness.

That means there are a total of FOUR new drinks to try at Starbucks in Disney Springs now, so ya best get movin’!

Have you tried one of Starbucks’ new specialty drinks this summer? Let us know which ones you’ve had in the comments below!
