Prices are going up, what's next?

       Since Bob Iger has been back as CEO of the Walt Disney Company everyone has been happy to see the changes to come. He knows that the prices have gone up tremendously and Disney is now seen as a "Luxury vacation destination" which isn't what Walt wanted. With his return he was going to look at how to return things to normal as much as possible. We saw many good changes until recently. We all know that Disney used to have Fast Passes which was replaced with Genie+. Fast passes were, shocker, FREE and was way user friendly. Once they came out with this new payed service we were all upset but it had its pluses. This service prices and availability vary by date. Recently after Spring Break we saw the max price go up! Originally, the max price was 29 per person and it went up to 35! Now if it is very busy you will be paying 35 for each person in your group. THAT IS CRAZY EXPENSIVE! What could be next? It is sad to think that the happiest place on earth is very costl...

Disney Springs

     The first day we arrived we planned to go see Disney Springs since we wouldn't have a full day for a park. Disney Springs, for those of you who don't know, is the shopping district. They have Disney shops, regular stores like Sephora, Kendra Scott, LEGO, Coach, etc., places to eat, and many activities. So of course we went to shop and try new restaurants. Our first stop was Gideon's Bakehouse. O M G. When I tell you that these cookies are amazing, just wow. They offer many different types of cookies, cakes, and coffee. We were lucky enough to go in durning hot cookie hour. They offer this twice a day from 2-3pm and 7-8pm. Durning this time you can get a HOT out of the oven cookie with free ice cream. It was 10 dollars but it was so worth it. I wanted to go again but the lines get so long at times you need to join a virtual queue and wait to be called back. After we had pizza at Pizza Ponte. We got a big slice of pepperoni and cheese pizza a must try in my opinion. We also had dinner next door at Maria & Enzo's Ristorante. It is a cute Italian restaurant that over looks the water. This was more expensive about $30 a plate but very delicious. We also shopped. They have everything you can imagine there I recommend looking at all the shops first before buying because you'll never know what you will find! They stay open till 11pm so even if you have a day at the park you can always come later on at night to finish off your day right!
