What’s New in Disney Springs! August 10, 2018
The theme at Disney Springs right now is Beat the Heat. In the dog days of summer we certainly agree!
We scoured Disney World’s shopping and dining district and found what’s new so you know where to stop the next time you’re at Disney Springs for a cool drink, snack, meal, or air conditioned retail therapy!

Martocci’s Italian Ice Stand is offering a new Churros n’ Cream Sundae as well as a Whipped Churro (yeah, it’s not what your thinking…whatever it is that you’re thinking).
Martocci’s Italian Ice
The Sundae is your choice of soft serve ice cream flavor and syrup flavor including chocolate, Dulce de Leche, strawberry, or white chocolate accompanied by Churros.
The Whipped Churro is made up of Churros topped with whipped cream and your choice of syrup drizzle (not nearly as exciting as you imagined, right?).

Haagen Dazs Ice Cream is offering two new milkshakes: Sea Salt Caramel Truffle and Banana Peanut Butter Chip.

YeSake Kiosk has brought in the Frozen Kirin Draft Beer. Note that frozen beer isn’t actually frozen…or even slushy. It’s regular beer with a “frozen head” to make it stay cooler longer.
