So let’s get started, shall we?

Before we even got inside the park, we noticed the incredible construction outside of the park is still underway.

You can see a bit of stone work among the construction, although it’s still TBD on what this will officially be!

What’s New on Main Street U.S.A.

We walked right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A. — and directly into the Main Street Bakery where they are displaying the Spring Seasonals menu!

Spring Seasonal Drinks

Fans of the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino, S’mores Frappuccino, and Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino will be delighted that these Starbucks drinks are available to enjoy during your day in the park.

Also, in Casey’s Corner we tried out the NEW Celebration Brownie!

Arggggh mateys! Pirates who planned to eat at Tortuga Tavern should note the restaurant is now currently under refurbishment.

No news on when the Quick Service location is set to re-open, but we will keep you posted of course! For now, we recommend moseying on over to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe for lunch.

We also LOVED the new “Wish Granted” Donut from Sunshine Tree Terrace.

What’s New in Fantasyland

A few items caught our eye under the tent at Big Top Treats! For starters, we always enjoyed Goofy Glaciers here, but now it looks like they are introducing a Flavor of the Month!

This month, they are featuring the Raspberry Lemonade Razzle Dazzle. YUM!

We also spotted something we haven’t seen in a long, long, long, long time…

Prepackaged-Snacks_Big-Top-Treats_19-001

Pre-packaged Treats at Big Top Treats

…pre-packaged treats!! These have always been available at the Main Street Confectionary, but they’ve returned to the circus. We spotted an assortment of “grab & go” Caramel Apples, as well as Rice Krispie Treats.

What’s New in Tomorrowland

We quickly noticed a bunch of walls around Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe

Cosmic Ray’s Refurbishment

…and the water’s still gone from the moat and river.

Which means that Cosmic Ray’s is still getting its paint job! Don’t worry — you can still dine with Sonny Eclipse as the restaurant is still open as usual.

Also in the vein of construction updates, we have updated photos from the Tron Coaster!!

Meanwhile at The Lunching Pad, a Carved Roast Beef Sandwich has joined the menu.

This new sandwich comes topped with Horseradish, Spring Mix, and Balsamic. The Carved Roast Beef Sandwich replaced the Barbecued Pork Sandwich, but never fear, it’s still available mere footsteps away at Cosmic Ray’s.

We tried the NEW Mickey Milkshake at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies.
