Disney’s D-Luxe Burger– With outdoor seating overlooking Disney Springs, D-Luxe will feature gourmet burgers, chicken and vegetarian burgers, hand cut fries and gelato shakes.

Visitors should also be on the lookout for 3 new character-themed kiosks at Disney Springs:

Visitors can watch them make Disney’s much-loved fancy fondant cakes. Also coming this summer is Sprinkles, think bakery meets ATM catering to those wanting to get a cupcake at any time of day.

In addition Disney Springs favorites Planet Hollywood and Fulton’s Crab House will re-open their doors with new concepts and updated menu offerings. All of restaurants listed above join the existing mouth-watering line-up at Disney Springs that includes Marimoto Asia, The BOATHOUSE, and Jock Lindsay’s Hangar Bar making Disney Springs a go-to culinary destination.

Those heading to the theme parks and resorts will also be presented with a bevy of new options. Two new brunches have been added for those who prefer a bit of late morning dining: Brunch at the Top of the California Grill in Disney’s Contemporary resort will feature both buffet and table service options and Narcoossee’s Waterfront Brunch at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort will offer a three course breakfast complete with luxurious mimosas.

Tiffin’s in the Animal Kingdom opens on Memorial Day weekend and will serve up cuisines from regions that inspired the Animal Kingdom theme park. Animal Kingdom lovers will also find a new watering hole adjacent to Tiffin’s. Nomads will serve hand-crafted cocktails inspired by Asian, African and South American flavors along with wines and beers from these regions.
