WDW Downtown Disney and Disney Springs Tweet Round-Up

Picture
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. 

Friday April 10

Picture
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!

Tuesday April 14
Picture
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!
