This week Renée did a couple of live tweet sessions at Downtown Disney and Disney Springs with a look at all the great new stuff going on. 

Below you'll see some great pics of the Disney Springs construction and the brand new Boathouse restaurant. 

Enjoy. And if you enjoyed the live tweets let us know, we'll be sure to do more of them.

Live tweeting from WDW's Downtown Disney! More pieces coming into place for the "high line" on the West Side.

Picture

The former United World Soccer store moved to a truck to make room for Super Hero Headquarters.

Picture

New shirts at D Street feature some cool, kinda trippy artwork.

Picture

DTD West Side Starbucks has an "evening" menu with a wine bar.

Picture

Disney Springs is coming together nicely, and some old favorites still remain open with surrounding walls.

Picture

The Boathouse restaurant is nearing completion, with the Amphicars ready to go.

Picture

Amphicars are being tested, and the bar and outdoor seating at The Boathouse will offer some great views.

Picture

Erin McKenna's bakery has some delicious baked goods. They are all vegan, but give it a chance, they're yummy!

Picture

This new bridge is a welcome shortcut to Rainforest Cafe.

Picture

Bonus points go to Ghiradelli for giving out large samples of milk chocolate mocha!

Picture

Want to design your own smart phone case with your favorite Disney character? You can at D Tech on Demand!

Picture

The Sign Shop in the Co-Op Marketplace is Disney nerd heaven!

Picture

Wonderground Gallery has a unique take on artwork of classic Disney attractions.

Picture

Check out Centerpiece to have a complete Disney themed kitchen!

Picture

Wall of Disney Tsum Tsums at Once Upon a Toy.

Picture

While not brand new, the West Side DTD Starbucks is still one of the most original in design that I've encountered.

Picture

Disney food truck park has some different foods to sample from the various theme parks.

Picture

The waterfront along Disney Springs should be beautiful once it is complete.

Picture

A taste of Epcot at the World Showcase of Flavors truck.

Picture

One of the last remaining buildings from DTD's Pleasure Island days.

Picture

Do you want to eat a snowman? You can at Disney's Candy Cauldron. He's worth melting for.

Picture

Thanks for following along for a random stroll through Downtown Disney. Disney Springs is looking great so far!

The Boathouse restaurant opened to the public this week. Tonight we took a look at Downtown Disney's new addition.

Picture

We didn't get to dine there yet, there was still tons to see. But if it's steak you want, this is the place to go.

Picture

And more importantly, the drinks!

Picture

And more importantly, the drinks!

Picture

Still in the testing phase but already a crowd pleaser are the one-of-a-kind Amphicars.

Picture

There are 8 Amphicars that start and finish on a launch with a turntable next to the Boathouse entrance.

Picture

Once it is ready, guests can take a 20 minute guided adventure around Lake Buena Vista in an Amphicars.

Picture

Behind the bar, along the lake is a collection of unique boats, most owned by Boathouse creator Steven Schussler.

Picture
Picture

It's worth taking a stroll along the docks just to see all of the boats

Picture

You might even find a hidden Mickey.

Picture

Also on the docks is a seating area, which I'm sure will be a popular place to grab a drink and watch the sunset.

Picture

Above the docks is an outdoor bar, again with great views of the lake and Downtown Disney.

Picture

If it's too hot outside, there's another full service bar inside to cool off and watch a game on one of the TVs.

Picture

We loved the design of the dining room, some of which included tables within a boat.

Picture
Picture

We weren't expecting there to be so much detail in everything both inside and outside The Boathouse.

Picture

Hopefully next time we will actually dine there. It looks like it should be a hit for steak and seafood lovers!

Picture

Don't forget to check out the gift shop on your way out.

Picture

Overall, we were extremely impressed with The Boathouse and can't wait to go back to actually eat there!
