MouseSteps Weekly #385: Disney Springs Everglazed Donuts; Animal Kingdom; Epcot France Expansion

In Mousesteps Weekly #385, we talk about the following topics:

We start out at Disney Springs and have lunch at Everglazed, a doughnut and cold brew shop that also offers sandwiches and more. We also take a look at the M&M’s Store construction.

Next, we head to Disney’s Animal Kingdom park. Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail currently is a bit different right now because of a refurbishment of the aviary and hippo pool area. Baby Grace was out with the other gorillas in her family. We also take rides on Kilimanjaro Safaris.

The Epcot France expansion is partly open, with the street to the restroom building available for guests to explore. There are a number of “Ratatouille” details to see and we talk a little about the history of the art nouveau metro entrances that inspire the marquee here.

We stop by the Epcot France expansion at night as well, with everything lit up.
