Walt Disney World recently announced that Wilderness Lodge’s newest eatery, Geyser Point Bar and Grill will open its door to guests starting on Monday, February 13th.

Conveniently located next to the feature pool area of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, the restaurant will provide guests with an opportunity to grab a bite to eat and take it with them poolside or relax in the outdoor patio area which boasts views of Seven Seas Lagoon. The decor with its cedar beams and rustic interior is right at home with the Pacific Northwest theme of the resort.

Roaring Forks quick service restaurant as well as the Trout Pass Bar will be closed for refurbishments starting on February 13th and both are expected to open later in the year. In the meantime, Geyser Point will fill their role by serving up breakfast lunch and dinner and will also offer cocktails, beer and wine.

Though Disney has not released an official menu as of yet. There will reportedly be a quick service window offering kids meals, burgers, sandwiches and salads. The bar will serve cocktails with ingredients sourced from Pacific Northwest distilleries as well as wines and beer from the region. Small plates will also be available to accompany the wide array of drinks on offer.

February 1, 2017

One of the most anticipated runDisney events of the year is almost upon us! The runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is only 3 weeks away. That means it’s time to make sure our running costumes are ready! These Disney Inspired Running Skirts by RunningCouture on Etsy are some of my favorite choices.

These super light weight skirts are perfect for running or any athletic activities. Of course they are great for costumes too! Each sparkly skirt is 11-15 inches in length with a 1 1/2 inch black elastic waistband. They fit true to size with a couple of inches to stretch on either side of the skirt. They come in a variety of Disney character inspirations, and add a little flair to your athletic attire! Fun and absolutely appropriate!!!

Stay after the cooking demonstration for an exclusive meet and greet with Marcy Smothers, author of the upcoming book “Eat Like Walt.” The book is available for pre-order now and will be released on September 19, 2017.

Eat Like Walt is a culinary tour of the park’s six lands. Every attraction has a story, and so do many of the menu items. Disneyland’s food transports us as much as it satiates us, or, as Walt declared, “The food is as fabulous as the fun, too.” With food as the lens, Walt’s private and work life are explored—including recipes from his home, his studio, and his Magic Kingdom—ensuring anyone can “Eat Like Walt.”

The Cooking Demonstration will take place in Festival Showplace, Stage 17 in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure Park at 4 p.m. Plan to arrive no later than 3:45 p.m. It is available to General, Gold, and Gold Family Members and you will be required to show photo I.D. and proof of D23 Membership.

NOTE

This event does not include admission to Disney California Adventure park. Guests will need to have or purchase admission to Disney California Adventure park to attend.

D23 General and Gold Members may reserve a space for themselves and one (1) guest. D23 Gold Family Members may reserve a space for themselves and up to three (3) guests.
