Kringla Bakeri og Kafe in the Norway Pavilion introduced a lovely lemon cheesecake around Easter, and it’s still in the case! We loved the bright and tasty treat, which now has a gummy lemon wedge on top rather than the Easter Eggs it initially came topped with. (Click here to read our review of this Springtime Cheesecake!)
Springtime Lemon Cheesecake still available!
Over at the American Adventure pavilion, construction walls and fences are up from the seating area to the DVC booth.
