Cool Summertime Surprises at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort

From the Disney Parks Blog and written by: Thomas Smith

Earlier today, Pam shared some cool news from several Disney Springs’ dining spots. Now, we’ve got even more to share, including an update that we’re once again hosting our “Beat the Heat DJ Dance Party” at the Disney Springs Marketplace.

“Beat the Heat DJ Dance Party” is a summer-inspired dance party featuring family-friendly music and the iconic Marketplace Fun Fountains. The party takes place daily 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in between Earl of Sandwich and Once Upon a Toy. And then, once the sun begins to set, the fountains are turned off for the ultimate nighttime dance party – 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Here are some other cool summertime surprises for you to enjoy at Disney Springs:

Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop

Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic “Summer of Love” in San Francisco, California and offering the Haight Ash’berry’ sundae (hot fudge sundae with seasonal berries, topped with whipped cream and a dark chocolate blueberry square) for a limited time only. If you purchase this sundae, you’ll receive a flower crown and heart shaped sunglasses.

Sparkling Hibiscus Lemonade from Amorette’s Patisserie 'Throwback' Drinks from Pleasure Island at Dockside Margaritas
