November 24, 2017

If there’s one new addition to Disney Springs‘ culinary offerings that definitely has wine-lovers excited it the opening of a new watering hole dubbed Wine Bar George. The new establishment is the brainchild of Master Sommelier George Miliotes, who most Disney fans will remember as one of the forces behind the re-opening of the California Grill. The Wine Bar will offer more than 100 wine selections in a setting modelled after a wine maker’s home estate. Varieties on offer include both well-known and up-and-coming wines all handpicked by Miliotes himself as well as lots of shareable light bites that will pair nicely with this extensive wine list.

The original opening of Disney Springs’ premiere wine bar was slated to happen in late 2017 as evidenced by the signage located at the site.

However, the official website for Wine Bar George has changed the opening date (as seen in the top image) to 2018. Disney Spring has not released official word about the delay and as of going to print a new official opening date has not been announced.

Readers are encouraged to keep following along with Chip and Co. for the latest in Wine Bar George and Disney Springs news and updates.

Chip Ceramic Mug

Most girls love Belle, but Chip has always been my favorite character from Beauty and the Beast. It only makes sense that he should be made into a functional cup! This gold foil printed Chip Ceramic Mug makes me so happy!

Despite his imperfections, Chip is perfectly cute as shown in this mug featuring the Beauty and the Beast character. Detailed with beautifully printed features and gold foiling, the ceramic cup also includes the flaw that inspired his name! I think that’s my favorite part, is that they even added in the detail of his chip. Now I just need a whole collection of these for a Beauty and the Beast inspired Brunch!

Would you add this Chip Ceramic Mug to your Disney cup and mug collection?

Happy Place Disney Distance Signs Point the Way Home

Custom Disney signs are a great way to show off your Disney Side, decorate, and remind you of magical nostalgic moments. The Disney Distance Signs by HappyPlaceSigns can even point the way, and miles to your favorite Disney Park!

Happy Place Signs were originally made for the designer’s daughter. They were so loved, that he decided to share his designs with the rest of us Disney Addicts! They create a custom sign using high quality pine, to show how far you are using your chosen address from your favorite destination! Of course the writing is in a font reminiscent of the happiest place on earth. Being a self proclaimed geography geek they thought it would be neat to make custom signs measured from people’s homes to The Disney Parks, or other personal Happy Places. Of course if you can also get a personalized name sign with no direction too. They also offer their signs in color now! Disney signs, plus color, is just magical!

Mickey shaped rice crispy treats are a delicious snack to enjoy while in the Disney parks, my family even likes to buy them wrapped up and take them home to enjoy a little extra Disney magic after our vacation has ended. The latest rice crispy design that has shown up at the Disneyland Resort, is almost too cute to eat, and is flavored to fit the holiday season. The Mickey and Minnie shaped treats are decorated with icing and sugar sprinkles to resemble gingerbread men. The Minnie Mouse treat features and adorable candy bow While Mickey’s ears are decorated to look like peppermint candies.
