Wanna know where you can get on a ride right now in Walt Disney World?

No, it’s not in any of the four theme parks. (Those won’t start reopening until July 11th.) You’ll actually find it in Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district, Disney Springs…

The Marketplace Carousel is now spinning once again!

You’ll spy a few distancing markers on the ground as you wait in order promote safe distancing between guests.

Review! The Watermelon Margarita Has Some Serious Competition in Disney World…

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 12, 2020

On Wednesday, even more stores and eateries reopened all around Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district, Disney Springs. Among them was the cheerful waterside sipping spot, Dockside Margaritas!

Dockside Margaritas

We tried the truly tasty Watermelon Margarita during our visit, but were also tempted by the Blood Orange Margarita. And that’s what brings us back today!

You won’t find the Blood Orange Margarita under the regular menu items — instead, it’s a seasonal offering. (That said, this isn’t the first we’ve seen of it, as it was the seasonal option in January, and it’s still holding strong at the moment!)

Dockside Menu

So it’s high time to give this blood orange bevvy a try, don’t you think?

Blood Orange Margarita

While “Blood Orange” gets the spotlight in the name, the blood orange flavor in the drink isn’t particularly prominent, but it’s refreshing and delicious, nonetheless.

Blood Orange Margarita

The pleasant surprise, though, was that this pour was heavier on the tequila than other margaritas we’ve enjoyed here, and we were impressed with both the strength and taste!

Blood Orange Margarita

That said, if you prefer a sweeter summer sip…

No matter what the seasonal offering is during your visit, they range from $16.00 – $17.00. (The Blood Orange Margarita rings up at $16.00.) You’ll also find a few frozen drinks (like the Dockside Colada and Daquiri) along with a selection of wine and beer and even a Seasonal Mocktail on the menu in addition to the margaritas. So whenever you’re ready to cool down with a cold drink while visiting the Disney Springs Marketplace… Dockside Margaritas is here for you! CHEERS!

Have you ever stopped at Dockside Margaritas? Please let us know with a comment!

These Nachos Are Topped With An EPIC Surprise in Disney World!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 11, 2020

We are BACK at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop in Disney Springs… because ice cream is always a good idea! Don’t you agree?

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop

On our recent visit upon Ghirardelli’s reopening, we enjoyed the new version of an old favorite concoction: the Gold Rush Sundae. And today we were happy to find a NEW item — joined by some returning favorites — just added to the menu!

When Ghirardelli first reopened its doors at the end of May, it returned with a fairly limited menu. So it was a happy surprise today when we spotted the return of a few more Specialty Sundaes like Lands End, the Magical Sundae, and one of our very favorites — the Crissy Field Cookie Bits Sundae back on the list!

Ghirardelli Menu

Do you remember that one?!

Create Your Own Quake Shake has also returned along with the Nob Hill Chill and the new Ultimate Latte Chill (which serves up a vanilla bean base and caramel with the coffee).

Ghirardelli Menu

We were tempted today by the new Nacho Sundae, which comes in at $14.50.

Nacho Sundae

The Nacho Sundae is served up with three scoops of your choice of ice cream on top of Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips, all covered with whipped cream and a sprinkling of nuts.

Nacho Sundae

And what’s any Sundae — even a non-traditional Nacho Sundae — without a cherry on top?!

Nacho Sundae

We went with Vanilla, Strawberry, and Mint Chocolate Chip for our flavors… and, let me tell you, they did NOT skimp on those scoops!

Nacho Sundae

The chips, by the way, are super tasty along with providing some nice crunch to the sundae. They totally reminded us of a slightly crunchier version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal!

Nacho Sundae

(Of course, while you can use them to scoop up the ice cream, you’re going to want to grab a spoon for this one!)

Nacho Sundae

And they’ve done it again! Just when you think Ghirardelli couldn’t possibly come up with any more spectacular specialty sundaes… they DO! Ghirardelli is located in the Disney Springs Marketplace — where, by the way, you’ll also find Marketplace Snacks which is still serving up the fabulous Dole Whip Nachos.

So now you’ve got not one — but TWO! — insane Dessert Nachos to choose from. Which one will it be for you ?

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.)

Vivoli il Gelato Cart

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.

Vivoli il Gelato Cart Menu

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!!

Have you tried any treats at Vivoli il Gelato? Please let us know with a comment!
