Happy belated Birthday, EPCOT! In honor of the special day, we took a stroll around the park to see what was new! Happy Birthday, EPCOT! Let’s check out all things new in food, construction, and merch! EPCOT Food Updates China Booth When we wandered by the China Booth, we noticed there was a new beer on the menu, the Tsingtao Lager. So we tried it out, and, honestly, thought it tasted mostly like a Sam Adams. But hey, if that’s your thing, you might like it! Tsingtao Lager It’s $4.75 for 6 ounces and $8.50 for 12 ounces. See what we thought of the Tsingtao Lager Flavors From Fire Y’all know how much we LOVE the Flavors from Fire Booth and how excited we got when it returned! So we go there often to see what’s new. Flavors from Fire Booth This year’s booth is hosted by the NFL on ESPN. So we noticed some new signage about the upcoming NFL season. Flavors from Fire new signage We also spotted a fun sign with each team’s favorite food! Flavors from Fire new signage Here’s why Flavors from Fire is a MUST TRY The Donut Box We snapped some photos of The Donut Box right before it opened. There were plenty of markers for lines and social distancing. The Donut Box Now that The Donut Box and Cool Wash have both opened, EVERY booth at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is now open! FINALLY! Read our full review of The Donut Box Block and Hans The beer flight is back on the Block and Hans menu! Block and Hans Menu We also saw it advertised on a placard! Block and Hans Beer Flight Menu For $10.75, you get tastings of Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA, Orlando Brewing Blonde Ale, and Angry Orchard Rosé Cider. HUZZAH! Here’s more about the Block and Hans Beer Flight La Cava del Tequila We saw a seriously long line for La Cava del Tequila at the Mexico Pavilion. We get it — it’s hot out, and a cold margarita is a good cure for the Florida heat and humidity! La Cava del Tequila Line L’Artisan des Glaces The same can also be said for ice cream (especially boozy ice cream!)! There was also a long line for L’Artisan des Glaces at the France Pavilion. L’Artisan des Glaces line Kringla Bakeri og Kafe We noticed that a few food locations had put up menu boards suggesting other places to go for food and drinks. At Kringla Bakeri og Kafe, the sign reminded guests that they can also get School Bread at the cart just outside the Norway Pavilion Monday through Friday. Kringla Bakeri og Kafe Sign At the moment, Kringla Bakeri og Kafe will only be open on weekends. So it’s good to know we can get that School Bread fix when it’s closed, too! See photos of Kringla og Bakeri’s reopening! Yorkshire County Fish Shop We saw a similar sign outside Yorkshire County Fish Shop, alerting guests that they can also get Fish and Chips at the Rose & Crown Pub on Monday through Friday. Yorkshire County Fish Shop Sign Yorkshire County Fish Shop is also only open on weekends. Read our latest review of Yorkshire County Fish Shop’s Fish and Chips Epcot Merchandise Updates Mouse Gear We spotted a few new merch items at Mouse Gear, including this super cute Minnie Mouse Denim Jacket for $69.99. It’s got little Minnie faces all over it! Minnie Denim Jacket We also spotted this really nice Mickey Blanket with a chevron and Mickey ears pattern. This blanket is $74.99. Mickey Mouse Blanket We went NUTS over the new Halloween Phone Cases we found at Magic Kingdom, especially the Mickey Sugar Rush case! Now they’re available at EPCOT! These cases are $29.99 each. Halloween Phone Cases We also spotted some magnets we previously saw at Magic Kingdom. We love this Trick and Treat Magnet because why trick OR treat, when you can do both? Halloween Magnet We also saw the Mickey Jack O’Lantern Magnet! The magnets are $14.99 each. Mickey Jack ‘O Lantern Magnet We saw some awesome character spatulas at Disney Springs, but now they’ve arrived at EPCOT. And they are TOO CUTE. Check out this Jaq and Gus Spatula Set. Jaq and Gus Spatula Set There’s a Toy Story Spatula Set, too, with Rex and an Alien! Toy Story Spatula Set These sets are $19.99 each. We love fun kitchen gear! Read more about these spatulas! So maybe it’s warm here in Florida, but the rest of the country is cooling down, so someone is bound to need this Child’s Fuzzy Spirit Jersey for $54.99. And IT REALLY IS SO FUZZY. The front has a Mouse Ears logo on it. Child’s Fuzzy Spirit Jersey The back says, “Walt Disney World.” Also, why can’t we get this for adults? Child’s Fuzzy Spirit Jersey We’ve been seeing a lot of Halloween sales pop up all over the place, including at Mouse Gear. For a limited time, you can get select Halloween and Nightmare Before Christmas mugs for $15.00. Mouse Gear Halloween Sale Even better, though? HALLOWEEN CANDY IS ON SALE for buy one, get one free! Halloween Candy Sale Now THAT’S what we’re talking about! There are even MORE Halloween merchandise sales happening around Disney World. Check em out here! EPCOT Attractions Updates Frozen Ever After We noticed some new signage at the Frozen Ever After attraction to help with crowds. Frozen Line Queue Sign Test Track The Test Track queue was the shortest we’ve seen recently. They even removed the stanchions they previously had up, leaving only tape on the ground to guide guests. Test Track Queue Well, that’s it for our celebration of EPCOT’s birthday, but we’ll be back soon to share all the updates we find! We found the PURRFECT Marie Coffee Mug at Disney World!

The Polite Pig at Disney Springs might be known for its delicious barbecue dishes, but it’s also a great spot to grab some awesome boozy drinks! The Polite Pig at Disney Springs Take it from us — we’ve tried a few of those drinks! From the Peach Bourbon Lemonade to the Florida Mango Frosé, we’ve enjoyed some impressive concoctions at The Polite Pig. So when we learned there was a new cocktail on the menu, we HAD to check it out. But really, with a name like Frozen Coffee Bourbon Cream, how could we resist?? Frozen Coffee Bourbon Cream One thing we noticed right off the bat — this drink really packs a punch! It’s super strong and very bourbon-y. We could definitely taste the alcohol way more in this drink than in the Root Beer Bourbon Float we tried last week. So, if you prefer your drinks a little less boozy, you might want to ask for more coffee and less bourbon when you order it. Frozen Coffee Bourbon Cream But despite the strength of the drink, we still really enjoyed it. The chocolate drizzle adds a nice touch and makes it feel more like a coffee treat. Frozen Coffee Bourbon Cream And since it was less than 90 degrees in Florida today (fall weather, by Disney World standards!) we decided to pair this drink with the Burnt Ends Chili. Burnt Ends Chili If we had to choose between this drink and the Root Beer Bourbon Float, we would give the nod to the root beer. But if coffee is more your jam, this one could be a better choice for you! Because this drink is so new, be sure to be specific when you order it and use its full name. If you want to try the Frozen Coffee Bourbon Cream, you can snag it for $11. Stay tuned for more reviews on all the fall treats around Disney World! Friars Nook has now reopened in Magic Kingdom!

Have you had a chance to see the first episode of “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom” on Disney+? “I hope so, because Episode 2 is now streaming and is chock-full of animal adventures, ranging from providing post-natal care to stingray Darby and her pup Hilo at The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT, to a surprise birthday party for Gino, a silverback gorilla at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. What I really appreciate about this episode is how it shows the special bonds our animal care team has with the animals in our care. Our keepers know each individual animal’s name, can tell you all about their favorite foods, and quickly share endless stories about their quirks and habits. They nurture these precious relationships by observing, feeding and training more than 300 species while providing round-the-clock care to ensure the animals’ health, as well as backstage and onstage environments, are in tip-top shape. The connections they make are crucial to establish the trust needed to have these animals participate in their own healthcare. I don’t want to give any spoilers for this new episode, but I think you’re going to be truly amazed by breathtaking examples of the team’s labor of love. One of my favorite parts of this episode is watching our primate team throw a birthday party for Gino, the beloved silverback western lowland gorilla from our family troop. I think this party was just as much fun for them as it was for the birthday boy. Here’s a sneak peek: Hungry for more? Take a deep dive into the world of caring for aquatic animals with this week’s family-friendly activity page, available now through Disney Conservation.

Theme park reopening guidelines were set to be issued by California this week, but the release was ultimately postponed following some pushback from Disneyland and others who urged the state not to finalize the guidelines without their input. Disneyland Gate Now, the Mayor of the City of Anaheim, the city where Disneyland is located, is chiming in as well. According to a Tweet posted from the City of Anaheim, Harry Sidhu, the current Mayor of the City, has issued a statement regarding the state’s issuance of reopening guidelines. Specifically, Sidhu has stated that there is “too much at stake” and that theme parks and convention centers need “attainable guidelines” that allow them to safely reopen soon and get people back to work. ©City of Anaheim via Twitter (@City_of_Anaheim) Sidhu notes that if pausing for the moment on the release of these guidelines will help them reach that goal, then that is the best course of action for now. But, he insists that “time is of the essence.” Sidhu also stated that his invitation for Governor Newsom to come and visit Anaheim, and see the impact firsthand, still stands. Disney California Adventure Over a month ago, Governor Newsom indicated that the theme park reopening guidelines were forthcoming, but some argued that was not the case. Now, it seems that the theme parks will have to wait a bit longer for the official release of the guidelines. This is a developing situation, so we will keep our eyes out for the latest news.

FINALLY! All of the booths at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival are open…unless Disney surprises us with a few more! The Donut Box Today, the final pieces of the festival fell into place when The Donut Box and Cool Wash opened in Future World. Of course, that means it’s time to review some eats and treats so let’s get going! Here’s a sneak peek of the kind of treats we’re going to snacking on at The Donut Box. We can’t WAIT to tell you what we thought. Let’s dive in! The Donut Box Menu Here’s a look at the menu for The Donut Box. We’ll be dining on several different donut varieties and sipping on some sweet drinks. Donut Box Menu Food Let’s start with the food! First up, we tried the Double Chocolate Donut Holes with Chocolate Drizzle for $4. Look at that beautiful, beautiful fried dough. Double Chocolate Donut Holes with Chocolate Drizzle We were surprised that these donuts weren’t the sweetest of the bunch. The chocolate drizzle adds most of the sweetness so we were pleased that it wasn’t too over the top. Double Chocolate Donut Holes with Chocolate Drizzle Next up we swung for the super colorful Sprinkle Burst Donut Holes with Purple Drizzle for $4. Our drizzle was more blue than purple, but they were still SUPER cute. Sprinkle Burst Donut Holes with Purple Drizzle This option would be great for kiddos! It’s got a funfetti-type batter for the dough. The icing is super sugary and colorful so it makes for a really fun bite. Sprinkle Burst Donut Holes with Purple Drizzle And finally, our favorite of the donut hole options was the Apple Fritter Donut Holes with Salted Maple Drizzle for $4. Apple AND maple? That’s fall in your mouth! Apple Fritter Donut Holes with Salted Maple Drizzle Like we said, this one was definitely our favorite donut of the day. It had a lot of apple taste with nice chunks of apple in the actual dough. We loved the cinnamon notes too! Texturally it was soft and warm on the inside with a good crunch on the outside. A real winner! Apple Fritter Donut Holes with Salted Maple Drizzle Beverages Movin’ on to the drinks! There’s a Strawberry Smoothie available for $5. This sip was nice and creamy and had a lot of real strawberry flavors. It’s very refreshing! Strawberry Smoothie The beer option at this booth is the First Magnitude Brewing Monarch Milk Stout for $4.50/6oz or $8.50/12oz. This super unique beer kind of reminded us of a Guinness mixed with coffee. If that’s your thing, this might be the option for you! First Magnitude Brewing Monarch Milk Stout And finally, the most exciting drink option is the Black and White Coffee Cocktail Garnished with a Donut Hole (it looks a little different than it did last year) for $14. If you like coffee cocktails, this is a pretty classic example. It’s very sweet and creamy with a good punch of coffee flavor. Black and White Coffee Cocktail Garnished with a Donut Hole Overall, we were pretty darn happy with this year’s offerings at The Donut Box and you will be too if you like fried dough! Who doesn’t?

It’s officially October which means that Halloween treats are ALL over Disney World! Seasonal Cupcake at Le Petit Cafe It was recently announced that some Nightmare Before Christmas goodies would be coming to Disney World and of course, we had to go out and try them! We’ve already shared reviews for the Sally Stitched Up Heart-Shaped Whoopie Pie and the Zero Bone Eclair. But now, it’s time to talk cake pops!!! The Jack Skellington Pumpkin King Cake Pop is at the top of our list when it comes to adorable Halloween treats! And The Grand Floridian is known for making some mega-delicious cake pops, especially during the holidays. So, you may be wondering…how does Jack stack up against the rest? Jack Skellington Cake Pop Well…he pretty much lines up with the rest because y’all…this cake pop is GOOD. Like real good. This jumbo-sized cake pop is a pumpkin-spice cake pop covered in a white chocolate shell and decorated to look like the beloved Jack Skellington! Jack Skellington Cake Pop The texture of this cake pop was UNREAL! When we bit into the cake pop, it had a nice pop of that classic pumpkin-spice flavor and balanced nicely with the white chocolate on the outside. Not overly sweet but just the perfect amount! Like we said, this thing is GOOD and honestly, it might be our favorite Nightmare Before Christmas treat of the season when it comes to taste. Jack Skellington Cake Pop Cross-Section You can grab this adorable cake pop for $7.99 at the Gasparilla Island Grill which is located in the Grand Floridian Resort. All hail the Pumpkin King! This was a standout treat from all of the other Halloween treats so far! We will TOTALLY be back at The Grand Floridian to grab this again! Check out this Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise!

We’ve truly enjoyed snacking our way around Disney World since the parks reopened. Cinderella Castle We’re still waiting for some of our favorite spots to reopen (we miss you Casey’s Corner!), but as we made our way around Magic Kingdom today we were really pleasantly surprised to see that one spot is back up and running again! While we were in the most magical place on earth, we strolled through Fantasyland and saw that The Friar’s Nook has reopened! We were really happy to see this spot is open once again and serving up some delicious snacks. We’re keeping our eyes out for more restaurant re-openings and we’ll let you know what we find!

EPCOT’s Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has been in full swing since mid-July, but we aren’t quite done with reviewing NEW festival arrivals! A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival We made a “pit stop” to Cool Wash today to sip on all things slushies! The booth made its triumphant return to the festival today after debuting last year, much to our delight! While the Food and Wine Festival is often known for its unique, one-of-a-kind dishes inspired by countries all around the globe, it ALSO features menu items that are super fun for the sake of just being fun! Cool Wash When we arrived at Cool Wash, we noticed that thee socially distanced queue extends around the planters if they need the additional space. Cool Wash Queue They didn’t need all that space when we visited today and we walked right up to order! Cool Wash If you love slushies, we would wager that you’ll love Cool Wash, too. Cool Wash For slushy flavors, you can choose from Wild Cherry, Blue Raspberry, and Coca Cola. Cool Wash Menu They also have dispensers ready to go to offer Orange and Pineapple flavors, but those were not available when we visited today. Assorted Slushy Flavors Once you choose your flavor, it’s time to pick your toppings! You can choose from Nerds, Swedish Fish, Pop Rocks, and Gum Drops. You can pick as many of these toppings as you would like! Assorted Candy Toppings (Guest’s Choice) We ordered the Blue Raspberry flavor with Nerds and Pop Rocks for toppings. Even the cup that it’s served in is funky and unique! Fanta Blue Raspberry Slushie topped with Pop Rocks and Nerds candies Pop Rocks are definitely not for everyone, but we happen to love them! Fans of Pop Rocks will be delighted to hear that if you choose them as one of your toppings, you’re given an entire bag! Fanta Blue Raspberry Slushy topped with Pop Rocks and Nerds candies The slushies are a super fun and customizable treat! It’s basically a candy lover’s delight. But we didn’t stop there! Cool Wash Menu We also ordered the Rum and Frozen Coke! This adults-only beverage is a mixture of frozen Coca-Cola with St. Petersburg Distillery Oak and Palm Spiced Rum. Frozen Coca-Cola with St. Petersburg Distillery Oak and Palm Spiced Rum Unfortunately, ours didn’t stay frozen for long (it’s still quite hot here in Central Florida), but it was VERY tasty and for those wondering, it was a GENEROUS pour. So fair warning: it may be tempting to guzzle this before it melts, but do so at your own peril! Overall, Cool Wash is a refreshing option for the whole family on a hot Florida day!

We might be able to get some of our favorite treats like Dole Whips in Disney World, but there’s something just so great about Disney’s savory snacks. Spring Roll Cart at Magic Kingdom Since Disney World has limited its menus and capacity, not every dining location has reopened in the parks. However, Disney has been bringing back fan-favorite spots slowly, but surely, recently. If you know us you know we love a Disney World Spring Roll. So when we saw the Spring Roll Cart (which we often refer to as the Egg Roll Wagon) reopened today, we literally freaked out and did a little happy dance! The spot tends to switch up its menu options, introducing items like Philly Cheesesteak and Bacon Mac and Cheese Spring Rolls. The options tend to be pretty limited and the cart often sells out of these delicious rolls FAST! Spring Roll Cart Menu Today, we were able to get the Cheeseburger and Pepperoni Pizza Spring Rolls. And spoiler alert, they were delish. Spring Rolls from Magic Kingdom However, we don’t remember the pepperoni in the pepperoni pizza roll being this small. Honestly, though, the sizing may vary depending on the batch. Pepperoni Spring Roll The cheeseburger spring roll was also good, but a little soggier than the pepperoni. But both spring rolls still had a good outside crispiness and just a touch of grease the way we like them. OH YEAH. Cheeseburger Spring Roll Although we’re happy to be munching on Pepperoni Pizza and Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, we would LOVE to see new flavors make their way to the Egg Roll Wagon soon!

We and Halloween treats are simply meant to be! Sally Whoopie Pie from Gasparilla Grill In fact, we recently heard about even MORE Halloween treats coming to the Disney World Resort hotels, and so you know that we had to check them out for ourselves!! At Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, we came across a whole selection of treats themed after The Nightmare Before Christmas! Nightmare Before Christmas Treats from Gasparilla Grill Of course, we HAD to try them all beginning with the Sally’s Stitched Up Heart-Shaped Whoopie Pie (that we had a first look at yesterday)! We found this treat to be one of the cutest and sweetest we’ve seen this Halloween season! The fact that it’s heart-shaped AND has chocolate stitches resembling Sally’s dress scored some serious points just at first glance!! Sally Whoopie Pie from Gasparilla Grill We found the texture of the whoopie pie was super soft and so delicate! While we knew the icing was blue, we were surprised to find that the cake itself had a light blue color throughout. At first bite, the first flavor we experienced was mostly ICING (not that we’re complaining!!). But despite that sugary first impression, surprisingly it wasn’t that rich! Upon further investigation, our best guess was the cake was a simple white cake, pretty much what you would find with a plain vanilla cupcake. A Cast Member later confirmed for us that white cake was indeed the flavor. Inside the Sally Whoopie Pie While we loved the look of the whoopie pie and how light it was, it was pretty basic in taste. But for someone looking for something sweet, simple, and light but with a little Halloween flair, this is a winner! You can purchase this sweet treat now for $4.99! Of course, we’ll be trying all of The Nightmare Before Christmas Treats, and any other new Halloween treats we find, to let you know our thoughts so stay tuned!

We’ve had some spooktacular specialty drinks at Starbucks in Disney World! It’s just a bunch of Hocus Pocus! From three drinks themed to the Sanderson Sisters to a secret menu Jack Skellington frappuccino, it’s been tons of fun to try ALL the Halloween treats. Today, as we stopped by Starbucks in Disney Springs, we spotted some fun Halloween specialty drinks on the menu! OoOooO (or should we say aah-oooooooh — that’s us howling at the moon) this is really tasty!! In fact…get ready for this…it’s one of the BEST speciality Starbucks drinks we’ve ever had! The Wolfman Halloween Drink from Starbucks The chocolate, coffee, and strawberry flavors pair so nicely together. The java chips make this drink extra chocolatey and the coffee helps to balance out the sweetness. The strawberry puree in this drink is what really takes it to the next level though. Overall, it was a fantastic mixture of flavors! The Wolfman Halloween Drink from Starbucks The grande version of this drink is $8.15 with tax. If you like chocolate, strawberry, and coffee, we highly recommend this spooky creation. It’s a true Halloween delight!

The Disneyland Resort and the state of California have been at a bit of an impasse over the past few weeks as Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are the only Disney theme parks in the world that remain closed due to the global health crisis. Disneyland Gate The reopening plan for the resort relies on the release of guidelines from the California Government and Disney has been pushing for this guidance. Now, it looks like it may be a little longer before the guidelines are released. According to the Orange County Register, Governor Newsom’s administration has opted to postpone the release of guidelines for Disneyland and other theme parks that were supposed to come out this week. Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland This comes after theme park officials asked the state NOT to finalize the guidelines yesterday before listening to theme park operators in a “more earnest manner.” Shortly after, Disney chairman Bob Iger stepped down from California’s Economic Recovery Task Force. Walt Disney Company Chairman Bob Iger Screenshot California’s health and human services director, Dr. Mark Ghaly, put out a statement saying, “Given the size and operational complexities of these unique sectors, we are seeking additional input from health, workforce, and business stakeholders to finalize this important framework — all leading with science and safety.” Disney California Adventure Park As mentioned, the reopening plan and dates of The Disneyland Resort hinge on these guidelines.

There are so many festival booths to enjoy delicious treats from all around EPCOT at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. International Food and Wine Festival While some of the booths have been open since the beginning of the festival, others opened later on, and we’ve been eagerly waiting for a few more to become available. Today, our waiting ended for 2 of the booths we’ve been keeping an eye on! That’s right — you’ve got 2 more spots to grab snacks from at the Food & Wine Festival! Today, The Donut Box officially opened! The Donut Box The Strawberry Smoothie is back from last year’s menu, sans the donut hole on top. The Black and White Coffee Cocktail is also back, but with a different donut accompaniment. Gone, however, are the Sweet Corn Fritter and Strawberry-dusted Yeast Donut Holes. In their place are the Double-Chocolate Donut Holes with Chocolate Drizzle, Sprinkle Burst Donut Holes with Purple Drizzle, and the Apple Fritter Donut Holes with Salted Maple Drizzle. Donut Box Menu Donut worry, we got one of EVERYTHING! The Donut Box Our full review of this spot will be coming soon, so stay tuned for that! Another spot that opened today is Cool Wash! Cool Wash Like last year, this spot is offering assorted Coca-Cola Slushes that you can top with all kinds of unique candies (Pop Rocks anyone?)! Cool Wash You can also get a Frozen Coca-Cola with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whisky or with St. Petersburg Distillery Oak and Palm Spiced Rum.

A prime spot at Disney’s Beach Club has been closed lately. Beach Club Marketplace Beach Club Marketplace has been getting some nondescript renovations for the past few weeks. In the meantime, we’ve been getting our souvenirs and snacks fix elsewhere in the resort, including with temporary offerings in the Solarium. Now, Beach Club Marketplace is BACK and we’re taking a look at the changes. Let’s head inside to see what’s different at this quick-service location! Renovated Beach Club Marketplace Much of Beach Club Marketplace remains the same but there is one very big difference that significantly changes the way the room looks. Renovated Beach Club Marketplace The lackluster diagonal tile that used to be featured in this location has been replaced by shiny new hardwood floors. Renovated Beach Club Marketplace The light wood compliments the existing theming in the Marketplace and makes it feel a touch fancier. Renovated Beach Club Marketplace We also noted that the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines that used to be featured have been removed in favor of regular soda fountains. Weird! We wonder where those machines went! Renovated Beach Club Marketplace A glance back at the Mickey waffle makers will show you this HUGE new vent above the prep area. Renovated Beach Club Marketplace We also spotted new coffee machines so that folks can get their caffeine fix. Renovated Beach Club Marketplace Though some of the Grab ‘n Go stations remain the same, a few are updated with this model. Renovated Beach Club Marketplace Finally, we noticed that some seating was available outside to aid with physical distancing. Renovated Beach Club Marketplace Otherwise, the location is pretty much the same! Health and safety measures are still in place AND you can still catch some trivia on a whiteboard near one of the registers. Renovated Beach Club Marketplace We did notice that The Solarium is closed and locked today as offerings have moved back into the Marketplace. The Solarium We’re fans of the new floors in Beach Club Marketplace and we’re excited to eat our Mickey waffles in such a nicely-refreshed space.
