Park map pdf on the website is labeled Jan-Mar 2015. So that's my confirmation to expect softs in March and grand opening in April.

Very exciting to see all of this! Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I recall, Florida doesn't have as many donut options. All I remember were different donuts/sundaes and cupcakes.

Looking great? Do you guys think they'll still sell the walk-around giant donut?

I flipped out when I saw those donuts! Yes!!! Meanwhile, my stomach groans for the anticipation of this.

 

[transfo]

And my wallet cries in advance. Any word on if the prices will be the same as Florida?

 

[raffman]

Wait are these free ? And where can you taste them?

Absolutely. I'm not sure if they'll continue to sell it around the park like they do currently, but it's definitely not going anywhere.

Diabetes in the palm of your hand. Pretty good, not gonna lie, but super sweet. I only get one if I'm sharing with a friend since they're so oversized.

Hi,

Not sure I'm in the correct subforum for Springfield updates but was visiting this afternoon and an employee told me two interesting things.  Doesn't mean they're true, however.  #1, the rectangular structure going up close to the top of the Starway will be Bumblee Man's Taco Truck.  I've been to Springfield in Orlando and that rings true to me.

The #2 item she offered was that the new Springfield restaurants could start soft opening as early as Presidents Day weekend followed by grand opening around Easter.  Seems a little optimistic for soft to start that soon but if the interiors snap together as quickly as the exteriors then I guess it's possible.  Anyone else hearing relevant info?

Lastly, a question.  Does anyone know what's going between the taco truck and Luigi's?  Seems like the only thing Orlando has that we don't is Duff's so that's my only guess.  Thoughts?

#1 is something that I can believe. #2 is something that I can believe only if the sidewalk paving gets completed soon.

Where will the ice cream place go? Was that scraped?

It's going where the old Ben and Jerry's was. 

What an odd place to put Bumblebee Man's taco truck. I thought they wanted the a main street style layout, this completely throws off the sight-lines. Should be interesting.
