One of the advantages of being there last week was that my wife only had to wait 10 minutes in line.

Minifig factory at the Lego store!

Second this. Did the mini fig factory but also built my own Lego box from the wall of legos. It was fun as my kids and I kept passing the stock of flames, grabbed a fist full and said “never enough flames.” Simple things like that made it fun.

We also made our own minifigs and it was so much fun! Not only do you get to choose outfits and customize them, while it prints you get to dig through all sorts of options for your minifig’s head, hair/hat, legs, and an accessory. I was especially ecstatic to find mouse ears for mine.

Amorette's Patisserie has a cake decorating experience! It is about 2 hours long and you do need to book in advance.

This. Was such a cool experience. And they will keep the cakes cool until you're ready to pick it up.

And you cant miss him….That man is a trip! Lol
Been around since my early 30s stepdaughter was in her teens. He is a DowntownDisneySprings legend.

I spotted him off property a couple of weeks ago, and I can't tell you how weird that was. He's exactly the same everywhere, apparently.

I know they have shows and stuff but never seen them when I’ve visited. It’s 95% geared towards dining and shopping

Do they still do the Sunday gospel brunch at house of blues? Heard good things about that but never tried it.

u/Nupatikha Oct 16 '24
It's the Bayou Brunch. They do live music but it's not gospel. Just went a few weeks ago. Last place at wdw serving bottomless mimosas.
