Today we have for you an upgraded version of the regular pretzels at the parks, a Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Pretzels recipe!
If you have ever been to Magic Kingdom, you know that the Launching Pad at Tomorrowland offers a variety of pretzel options like regular, cream cheese and pepper jack. Well we added some extra magic and want to share with you an easy recipe from Delish.com to make the most delicious pretzels at home.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese with sour cream, artichoke hearts, frozen spinach, garlic, mozzarella and Parmesan. Season with salt and crushed red pepper flakes.
Divide each dough into 6 pieces to make 18 pieces total. Stretch and roll each piece into a long rectangle. Spoon about 2 tbsp of the spinach artichoke mixture into the center of the dough. Roll the dough tightly, making sure no cheese is exposed, into a tight rope. Twist and shape the rolls into a pretzel shape and transfer to prepared pan.
Add baking soda to a shallow bowl filled with warm water. Whisk until the baking soda is dissolved. Brush baking soda solution onto each pretzel. Let set until the pretzel have dried, about 10 minutes, then brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with parsley and coarse salt.
Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until pretzels are golden. Serve.
Gideons Bakehouse in Disney Springs Celebrates Pride Month this June 2021. In addition to a returning favorite cookie, they announced a new cake! Along with the cakes and cookies announcement, they are releasing new merch this month also, which will be announced over the next few days.
Special Cake Announcement!! Pride Month is extra important to Gideon’s and Central Florida, so we are very excited to celebrate with a brand new Rainbow Crunch Cake! This fluffy 3-Layer Vanilla Confetti Cake is covered with our extraordinary multi-colored Marshmallow Buttercream and laced with our mega crunchy Rainbow Crumbs! Each Gideon’s cake is lovingly scratch-made by hand and is available by the slice every day of June at Gideon’s in Disney Springs and every weekend for Gideon’s at the East End Market.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! ?️? June is here, which means it’s time to switch up Limited Edition Cookies! Enter the White Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut! We can’t just give you a standard White Chocolate Mac Nut Cookie! Our homemade Salted Caramel is what levels up this classic flavor. The caramel bakes right in and sometimes even explodes right out to offer you a cookie that is fun and packed with flavors. Oh, did I mention we’re brushing them with edible rainbow glitter?!? “But wait, Gideon’s!” you say. “Isn’t that the November Cookie!?” Well, not anymore, friends! After causing the Great White Chocolate Shortage of 2020, we realized we need to space out our White Chocolate offerings and avoid depleting the nation of its supply. It’s the responsible thing to do.
The Orlando area is a safe haven for our fellow humans who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Gideons does their part more than just in June every year. Nevertheless, please do not go into this saying they have become “woke” or are doing this for sales. Furthermore, we see the support monthly, weekly, and daily. Gidiots, like myself, will be first in line this morning trying out the new cake.
This Cookie is AVAILABLE TODAY and every day this month in Gideon’s at @EastEndMkt and Gideon’s at @DisneySprings! Limited Edition items will sell out each day, so there is a limit of two per paying guest. The earlier you arrive, the better your chances of seeing it in stock! This item below falls in that same category!

Directing duo Bert and Bertie have shared that the first edits, aka the “directors cuts” have been completed for the upcoming Marvel Studios and Disney+ Original Series,Hawkeye.

Their joint Instagram account, @bertbertiedirectors shared a photo of their thank-you treats along with the caption, “We did it! Thank you to our supremely talented editors @rosie11982 and Tim Roche and to our multi-talented, multi-faceted and multi-awesome Marvel Post Team. Couldn’t have done it without you. No, really.“

Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel will soon open to guests! The Disneyland Paris Resort is making the interior into a magnificent display for visiting guests.
For example, one objective is to have the chandelier become an iconic element of the guest experience.
This chandelier, with its inverted-pyramid shape, fits well in the technical constraints of the building, while its shape, material and color evoke the realm of Asgard, all the while alluding to Manhattan skyscrapers.
Each component was glass-blown traditionally in Bohemian crystal glass. Disney played with the champagne, amber and light crystal colors. In addition, each component is silver-plated from the inside with pure silver. Some elements are twisted or shaped as trapezes of various sizes in order to epitomize inverted New York skyscrapers. There are more than 225 glass pieces in this four-meter-tall chandelier that took a year to create.
Emma Stone Thinks Disney Should Make an Ursula Origin Movie. Recently, the cast of Cruella spoke with Variety about the new live-action Disney film and were asked which other Disney villains should get an origin story. The films leading lady, Emma Stone (Cruella de Vil) quickly responded with Ursula from The Little Mermaid, and her fellow cast members quickly agreed that Ursula’s story would be fantastic to explore.
Stone elaborated, “She’s an octopus and the world you would get to live in, like Ursula’s parents and what happened there. You’ve never really seen a non-human Disney villain be explored in that way.” Emma Thompson (Baroness von Hellman) jokingly added, “The parents keep giving her a shirt that only has four arms. They really mess her up with that from a very early age, so she’s constantly trying to fit two arms into each hole. That would really mess you up, wouldn’t it?”
Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Anita Darling) agreed by sharing, “I gotta know how Ursula came to be. Like, why is she so damn mean? But also I know that she’s misunderstood.” Howell-Baptiste added she would also love to see an origin film for Scar from The Lion King, adding, “I think Scar has some deep-seated issues, and obviously his brother was clearly the favorite,” Howell-Baptiste said. “He’s not wrong on some things.” Disney may already be ahead of the game on Kirby’s suggestion as it has been noted that Disney is currently casting for “Young Scar” and “Young Mufasa” for the live-action The Lion King sequel film.

Disney World Swan Reserve construction is moving along fast and is indeed almost complete. In new aerial photos just obtained from bioreconstruct Twitter feed, clearly shown is the Sawn Reserve in an almost finished stage. You can check out his tweets below.
This 14-story hotel is scheduled to open in summer 2021 with 349 guest rooms. This is in addition to the Swan and Dolphin resort’s 2270 guest rooms already available. There will be two presidential suites, 149 spacious suites, the hotel’s own signature restaurant, and bar, lobby lounge, grab-and-go market, health club, and pool. In addition, there is a gorgeous event space (22,000 square feet) that is located on the top floor- perfect for weddings or gatherings.
Construction only paused for a limited time during the pandemic last year. We have watched this hotel going up at what feels like super speed. Unquestionably the new hotel will be a nice addition to the skyline around Epcot and look great with the Swan and Dolphin.
From the 14th floor, you can see the Swan and Dolphin, Epcot, AND Hollywood Studios! If you’d like to see this much of the Walt Disney World Resort, this is going to be the hotel for you.
Are you excited for the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve Hotel to be finished? Let us know in the comments!
