Around the country, families are enjoying the last lingering days of summer before a new school year starts. Whether you’re here in Central Florida on vacation or you live locally, now is the perfect time to enjoy one last hurrah – and I can think of no better place than Disney Springs!

Need some suggestions on what to do? Start with a Pineapple Soft Serve from Marketplace Snacks (pictured above), then read on for my top picks that offer something for everyone:


Made-to-Order S’mores at The Ganachery at Disney Springs
S’more Cupcake from Sprinkles at Disney Springs Campfire S’more Petite Cake from Amorette’s Patisserie at Disney Springs

Enjoy a Sweet Holiday: Nothing says “summer” like s’mores, and as luck would have it, today is National S’more Day. Celebrate the oeey-gooey goodness with Made-to-Order S’mores at The Ganachery, a S’more Cupcake at Sprinkles or a Campfire S’more Petite Cake at Amorette’s Patisserie. (Feeling ambitious? Why not indulge in this trifecta of treats with your own personal S’more Scavenger Hunt!)
