Hi Kelly! Welcome to planDisney.
In a few days, the world will be your oyster at
The World's Most Celebration at Walt Disney World Resort. No matter if you are visiting the theme parks, resorts, or Disney Springs, you can find specialty-themed
50th Anniversary Celebration Merchandise. I adore the retro
Vault Collection and the festive
EARidescent Shimmer Collection. Stop by the
World of Disney® for a taste of all the uniquely themed merchandise.
Currently, the Pick a Pearl located at the Japan Pavilion at
EPCOT has not returned. However, Hakuna Matata! I have a solution for you below.
After you grab some of those souvenirs at World of Disney®, I am happy to report to you, head on over to the popular and open,
Pearl Factory Kiosk to choose an oyster. Both are located in the
Marketplace area of Disney Springs. I highly suggest a walk on over to The Landing area to indulge in a half-pound marvel of a cookie at
Gideon's Bakehouse. If you see a line, do not be discouraged, give your name to join a virtual queue. This will give you time to sneak in a moonshine cocktail at
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'. Pair it with the
Thigh High Chicken Biscuits for a perfect snack. Protip, you can grab a first come first serve barstool with no reservations and enjoy the full menu.
And finally, if you are feeling like treating yourself to an amazing performance, consider attending
Drawn to Life Presented by Cirque du Soleil® and Disney. The theatre is located in the West Side area of Disney Springs. My preshow meal and drink always happen at
City Works Eatery & Pour House located next door.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
