Food Truck Park opens at Downtown Disney

03-food-truck-park-2

It was not too many months ago that Disney had just started experimenting by inviting one or two food trucks to park at Downtown Disney and augment the food selection there. Then there was a very successful Food Truck Bazaar event and the addition of four ‘official’ Disney food trucks. Well those trucks now have an official home inside the future Disney Springs shopping, dining, and entertainment complex.

Officially known as “Exposition Park,” the addition is located on the Westside between the new Starbucks and Bongo’s, and conveniently close to the restrooms, the Food Truck park offers guests places to sit and enjoy the delicious food treats in a nice garden-like setting.

The area is currently decorated for Christmas. It has soft yellow lighting that turns on a dusk, a very lush feel with the ‘Elevated train’ platform acting as a divider from the hustle of the main walk-way and the food truck park.

On the night we visited, there was even a non-Disney food truck in residence. The Yum Yum Cupcake Truck, which recently changed ownership, was there to sell some of the most delicious treat in town.

It makes me very happy to see Disney is continuing it’s support of local food trucks. I hope it will continue to support the scene by inviting back the Food Truck Bazaar for a larger event, perhaps once the holidays are over and the parking garage is 100% open.

Speaking of the parking garage, come back tomorrow when we have a larger update of changes at Downtown Disney as it completes its transformation into Disney Springs.

More photos of the new Exposition Park location are available below:

More Ugly Christmas Sweater T-shirts, plus more

02-tshirts-xmas

We previously profiled some “awesome” ugly christmas sweater Disney t-shirts. They’ve been a huge hit and I’m seeing whole families wearing them all over Walt Disney World. The four we highlighted earlier are all available online at the Disney Store ‘park authentic’ section. However, there’s a new set in the parks that I haven’t seen online yet.

Here’s a few more great shirts I’ve found in the parks lately. These new ugly sweater t-shirts are women’s cut, also at top, which is a nice alternative to the men’s adult cut of the other shirts. Read More »More Ugly Christmas Sweater T-shirts, plus more
