Disney Springs Is Blooming..

Could you possibly post a link to these stories you post the pictures of. The screen shot of a section of a web page doesn't really help a whole lot. It's easy enough to copy and paste the webpage address right in your post.

Thanks.

I saw online last week that they're hiring executive chef, sushi chef and management for Morimotos. I'm really looking forward to dining there in November!

Yes , I know the app, I have it also, but those stories are on a web page such as the one you posted

http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/chef-arts-florida-fish-camp/news/07jul2015-chef-arts-florida-fish-camp-coming-to-disney-springs-in-early-2016.htm

This would be the actual webpage link you should provide so people can more easily read the story, rather than having to google the story. It just makes things easier for people to read. I got that link right from the page the app takes you too.

I'm not a big Marvel geek, but The Spouse is. It's a very small shop, a few interesting things, but mostly items you can find elsewhere. The one thing he was excited about was the opportunity to be photoshopped into a Marvel movie scene.

I haven't made time for DTD/Disney Springs on either of my last two trips, but I have to say that I'm getting really excited about all the new additions! Especially staying at Saratoga Springs, we will definitely be making it a priority this trip!

We loved Cooke's! Delish! And you should try House of Blues. We've been several times (Orlando and Myrtle Beach) The food never disappoints! The jalapeno cornbread with maple butter is one of the reasons I go back!

Even with all the Food and Wine Festival eats we will be partaking in, the girls and I have plans to hit the new gelato shop at LEAST once each day!

I also need to try the new cup cake place too.....

I should clarify that I have been to DTD before, just haven't made it a priority as of late. That's all changing with the new updates!

With all the changes I'm glad I have time scheduled in for shopping and eating there. Even with having enough time scheduled for at least 4 or 5 meals my wish list will still have to be cut down! Or my elastic pants let out!

I'm sorry, every thing they have or have planned for DTD just pales in comparison to PI. I can't get excited about any of this. When I go down there I get mildly depressed thinking about how great it was. I can't let it go. Maybe that should be MY song.

Mr. Negativity strikes again.

I think at the moment since not everything is finished, I'm quoting the Magic 8 ball and I'm saying, "Ask again later". At the moment, I think they are going for a more refined and sophisticated environment with upscale dining and bars (The Boathouse, the STK restaurant and the Morimoto place all seem upscale to me.) I presume the NBA restaurant will be another casual dining place and Blaze Pizza will be a QS place I would think. I do think they need to balance the upscale and premium shops and restaurants with a good mix of more affordable and family friendly places, which is something I hope they'll add more of in the coming months. I also wouldn't be surprised if they added another food truck or two. I'm thinking maybe they should go for a Caribbean food themed truck (Jerk chicken skewers, mofongo to go, conch fritters, I don't know I'm just spitting stuff out!) or maybe a taco truck.

The Marvel store looks really small in my book. I saw a video online of the place and I wasn't really impressed with the selection to be honest. Being that I am huge superhero fan, I get my stuff at a place called Superherostuff.com. Bigger selection and they have just about everything for all the major DC and Marvel superheros and they even have Star Wars stuff, too. I've also been lucky at Walmart with their 7 buck shirts which are actually not too shabby.

But as long as I have Earl of Sandwich and their Full Montagu and World of Disney, I'm good to go!
