Olivia’s Cafe Added to New “Table-Service To Go” Feature

Chances are if you’ve visited Walt Disney World in the past year or so, you’ve tried the Mobile Ordering option on the MyDisneyExperience App. Now, most all of the quick-service restaurants are on mobile ordering, some requiring this as the only way to pick up food at that location. Disney recently add a new feature however that includes Table-Service Restaurants with a to-go option! Olivia’s Cafe at Disney’s Old Key West has joined this new mobile ordering feature.

There are currently four table-service to-go selections including: Sanaa, The Wave… of American Flavors, Kona Cafe, and now Olivia’s Cafe.

How do you use this new to-go feature? When visiting the MyDisneyExperience App, click the plus button on the main screen to select “Order Food”. You’ll then be shown a list of venues offering Mobile Ordering. Find Olivia’s (or the restaurant of your choice) and select available pick up times. And just like that you’ll be prompted to build your order with some of the very favorite Olivia’s menu items!

What do you think about this new “Table Service To Go” option? We simply love that Disney is trying to make dining experiences as efficient and comfortable for their guests as possible!

Disney Releases Details on New Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew Coming Soon

Disney Springs has become a Foodie paradise and now there is another fantastic dining option on the way. Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is coming to Disney Springs West Side and we couldn’t be more excited. Disney has given us a look at what we can expect when visiting the restaurant. 

From a Disney Cast Member;

“We’ve shared a sneak peek at a few of the delicious donuts that will soon be baking at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew. (I’m already planning my Instagram photos!) These beauties are over-the-top and will only add to the amazing variety of sweet spots you can find on property.  Today I’m thrilled to share a rendering of the specialty food and beverage location opening soon at Disney Springs West Side.

Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew will be located adjacent to Splitsville and near the west entrance and exit of the Orange Parking Garage. The overall design of this sweet spot will have a unique spin on a classic donut shop featuring graphic pops of color, iconic signage, and a beautiful outdoor seating area in the “donut garden.” Before guests enter the venue, they may catch a glimpse of a culinary experience unfolding through the windows of the exposed kitchen where hot and fresh donuts will bake daily.

“We like to say our little oasis of indulgences is going to be where ‘Happiness is Glazed Daily,’” says Mark Gibson, co-owner of Everglazed. “The menu will be full of sweet surprises and a unique spot for guests wanting a quick treat, cold brew or nitro-infused chilled coffee.” Everglazed will specialize in hand-crafted donuts featuring mouthwatering yeast and cake donuts with an assortment of cold brew lattes and coffee cocktails and a few sweet-yet-savory sandwich bites.

“The humble donut has truly become a global phenomenon. The fried circle of dough is a simple concoction with the ability to showcase chef-inspired flavors and toppings,” says Guy Revelle, co-owner of Everglazed. “We can’t wait to offer guests at Disney Springs our robust menu of sweet delights, but you are officially warned: We spoke to your diet – and it’s taking some time off when we open our doors.”

Disney Springs Restaurant Owner, Guy Fieri, Feeds Wildfire First Responders

When we think of the Food Network Chef Guy Fieri, the first thing that comes to mind is Chicken Guy located in Disney Springs! In 2018, Guy Fieri brought flavor town to Disney Springs with an impressive quick-service spot that serves up an array of sauces, chicken, and just pure goodness. Well, Guy is keeping busy as he decided to put his talents to great use and feed first responders battling the California wildfires.

As shared by Today.com: “According to a post on Oct. 3 from the Sonoma-Lake Napa Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Fieri traveled to the firefighters’ base camp over the weekend to help feed the 2,774 firefighters who have been trying to contain the fire.”

“Fieri has also used his influence to give back to the restaurant community. Earlier in 2020, he helped launch the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund (RERF) to benefit laid-off workers in the restaurant industry after the coronavirus pandemic led to record layoffs and business closures. The fund raised $21.5 million, which was dispersed to 43,000 restaurant workers in one-time $500 grants.”
