 Over the weekend Renée made a couple of trips to Disney to check out some of the new offerings at Disney Springs as well as finally getting over to EPCOT to check out Frozen Ever After. Be sure to check out her thoughts on the new ride and all of the amazing shirts you can find at Uniqlo USA. Written by Renée Girard Click any of the pictures below for a larger version Club Cool at Epcot is surprisingly empty. I doubt it's due to the new Coke store at Disney Springs but ya never know  Frozen Ever After is currently at a 60 min wait. Much more bearable than 4-5 hours! We'll be back later with FP+  Should you be in the mood for cookies n cream funnel cake, you can get that in America at Epcot.  Are selfie sticks still banned at WDW? If so, I'm impressed that this lady made it all the way to Japan in Epcot!  Is this how you Pokemon Go?  Too bad Spice Road Table at Morocco in Epcot is so empty. Really good food with a fantastic view!  It's time to finally ride Frozen Ever After!   With a 90 minute wait, at least most of the queue is indoors and out of the heat.  Editors Note: She looks absolutely thrilled to be here  Ready to set sail on our journey through Arendelle!  Olaf and Sven start us out on Frozen Ever After, and I'm already impressed with the animatronics.  Disney really did a great job with Frozen Ever After. I liked it much more than I expected to!   The Frozen ride wouldn't be complete without a little song called "Let It Go"  Maelstrom still holds a place in my heart, just because it's classic Epcot, but Frozen Ever After is very well done.  After the Frozen gift shop, there's still a regular Norway gift shop. Not really sure what this means though!  Next lets head over to Disney Springs where there's always something new to check out. 
Got a bite to eat at Frontera Cocina which was decent, but no seating for quick service guests   The new HomecomingFL looks great, and also has a nice bar with a grab and go window. Will try that next time! 
The popular clothing store Superdry is now open  The Polite Pig is opening soon DisneySprings and if it's anything like CaskLarder and ravpig it'll be delicious!  The main reason we went to DisneySprings this time was for the new UniqloUSA store, and it is awesome! 
The UniqloUSA store Disney Springs is two floors of Disney and non-Disney clothing at affordable prices!  I was surprised by the amount of Disney branded items available at Uniqlo   The Disney Project shirts are fantastic, and I think the pizza design one is my favorite   Disney Pixar shirts at UniqloUSA ? Yes please, I'll take them all!
Some of the Alice in Wonderland shirts at UniqloUSA  And let's not forget Star Wars!  Another look at some of the Disney Pixar shirts UniqloUSA . There are so many, I want them all!  
Thanks again to Renée for yet another amazing update from Florida. Definitely could spend a few bucks in the Uniqlo store for sure. Related Updates:  Last week was the Dine Out for Orlando United event and restaurants all over Orlando and the surrounding area were giving a portion (or in some cases ALL) of their sales to Orlando United. If you'd like to donate to the One Orlando Fund you can still do so (just click the link above). We'll also take a look around Disney Springs and the new Coca Cola Store that opened a few days later.

Sales from draft beers at @RaglanRoadPub at #DisneySprings go to #OrlandoUnited tonight so of course we're here!   Erin McKenna's Bakery at #DisneySprings also sells an #OrlandoStrong donut. #OrlandoUnited @embakeryfl     Some progress and a new structure up around the Planet Hollywood Observatory at #DisneySprings
   The Disney Springs Coca-Cola store is 3 floors and has a great design that you see immediately upon entering. 
I really liked the unique collectible items handmade in Kenya at the #DisneySprings Coca-Cola store.  You can have a Coca-Cola themed kitchen if you want, thanks to items on the 2nd floor at #DisneySprings store.  Of course you can get your own Coca-Cola Orlando glassware too.  There are all sorts of varieties of Coke bottles lining the shelves.
There are limited edition Orlando Coca-Cola grand opening bottles, each numbered through 500.  On the third floor of the Coca-Cola store is the rooftop bar, which was busy but manageable. 
You can get a pretty good view over the buildings at #DisneySprings from the roof of the Coca-Cola store.
 Some cool landscaping on top of the Coca-Cola store facing the parking garage  You can also get a glimpse of the construction going on at Planet Hollywood  The most popular item at the Coca-Cola bar is the Tastes of the World international tray.
We only wanted the Smart Watermelon from China, and they were kind enough to give it to us! Miss this drink at Epcot  Also tried BB Wolf's Sausage Co, and was pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian Italian sausage.       Thanks again to Renée for another amazing update from Orlando and for being such awesome supporters of the local area. Related Updates: |
