Hey-Howdy-Hey, Sarah! Welcome to planDisney--I'm so glad you stopped by with your vacation planning question. You've got a friend in me, and I'm ready to go to infinity and beyond to track down the information you're looking for!
It sounds like you have a
Disney Gift Card that you're looking to use. I like to purchase cards at a discount from our local discount department store and combine them via the Disney Gift Card website. We save a good chunk of change with the discount, which I promptly spend on my next must-have souvenir...Disney math, right?
Sarah, I can't think of a better way to treat yourself than a wonderful meal at
Disney Springs! You'll find that most restaurants at the Springs do accept gift cards for payment (the exceptions tend to be food trucks or kiosks). On our most recent trip, I headed straight to
Gideon's Bakehouse to procure some decadent cookies and some of their spooky-cool stickers for my oldest daughter and was happy to discover I could use a Disney gift card there!
Some other great spots that currently accept gift cards include two of my newly-discovered favorites,
Summer House on the Lake and
eet by Maneet Chauhan. I highly recommend lunch or dinner at either, followed by some shopping and a sundae at
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop (my planDisney pal
Candace and I both love the Mint Bliss Hot Fudge Sundae!).
I hope this is the information you need for a perfect lakeside dinner at Disney Springs, Sarah! Thanks again for visiting planDisney and please don't hesitate to reach out again if we can help with any other questions to make your next trip to
Walt Disney World Resort extra-magical.
See Ya Real Soon!
Susan
