Marketplace – A Blog About Disney Stuff

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!

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.

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!!

Among the shops now open in Disney Springs as Disney World’s shopping and dining district continues in its phased reopening is The Spice & Tea Exchange in the Marketplace.

The Spice & Tea Exchange

The Spice & Tea Exchange reopened yesterday (as did several other locations including the World of Disney and The Daily Poutine, among many others). If you haven’t checked it out previously, we hope you’ll join us as we step back inside this shop packed with herbs, gourmet spices, and lots of fun finds for the tea connoisseur in your life!

Before we step in, a word or two about the new entry and safety procedures…

Distance Markers outside the store

As you approach the entrance you’ll notice the distancing signs on the ground that are starting to look very familiar around Disney Springs to promote physical distancing as guests wait to enter the store. Traffic flow is directed with doors designated for entering and exiting.

Exit Only Marker

We were able to walk in, though, without a wait. Immediately upon entry, we were offered hand sanitizer.

As we explored the shelves, we were still welcome to open jars.

It’s well worth mentioning that the jars and displays are continuously being wiped down by cast members.

Over 140 spice blends are on offer here, including — but by no means limited to — these Custom Blends for seafood dishes like the Spicy Tuna Rub, a Northwest Salmon Rub, and a Coastal Blend.

And you can sweeten things up with specialty sugars like Salted Caramel, Lemon, and Key Lime!

Oh, and we mentioned fun tea finds earlier, didn’t we? It didn’t take long to fall in love with these animal-shaped tea infusers!

And the crazy cute Float Teas (pool float-style tea infusers) are practically irresistible.

And that’s just a glimpse of what’s in store! You may be surprised by what you’ll find at The Spice & Tea Exchange if it’s not a stop you’ve made previously in a visit to Disney Springs.
