In addition to an amazing shopping experience, some of Disney’s best restaurants are located in Disney Springs. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ was new to me, but since I heard so many great things about it I brought a large group of friends here for dinner one night. I think for most of our group this was their favorite dining location of our entire trip.  The atmosphere at Chef Art Smith’s is very cozy and welcoming, with farm-to-table cuisine inspired by Florida’s rich agricultural heritage.  Guests of age can […] - [The Bahamas Will Require All Cruise Ship Passengers Ages 12 and Older to Be Fully Vaccinated](https://wdwbloggers.com/the-bahamas-will-require-all-cruise-ship-passengers-ages-12-and-older-to-be-fully-vaccinated/): Beginning September 3 until November 1, 2021, The Bahamas will require that all cruise ship passengers ages 12 and older be fully vaccinated in order for a ship to be allowed entry into any of its cruise ports, including private islands like Disney Castaway Cay.

I am so excited to share our dining experiences with you!  My personal opinion is based on three things: quality of food, service and location/atmosphere. When our large group discussed a fun place to have our first meal in Disney, everyone agreed on Biergarten.  The Biergarten restaurant is located in the Germany Pavilion at Epcot. This restaurant is right out of a Bavarian village.  They serve a large variety of meats including regensburger, bratwurst, franks, and schnitzel. The family […] - [Disney and Cirque du Soleil's "Drawn to Life" Opens November 18](https://wdwbloggers.com/disney-and-cirque-du-soleils-drawn-to-life-opens-november-18/): The iconic white tent theater at Disney Springs is buzzing with activity once again as Cirque du Soleil artists are returning to the stage to train and rehearse for a spectacular new show.  Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil & Disney is scheduled to open on November 18, 2021.
