Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar

2017-02-16T06:00:25-05:00February 16, 2017|Disney Springs|

One of my favorite places in Disney Springs to Explore is Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar! It’s inspired by Jock Lindsey, the seaplane pilot, that helped Indiana Jones escape the jungle in “Raiders of the Lost Ark!” We only saw Jock for a brief few minutes in the movie, but thanks to Disney’s Imagineers, we can relive his experiences and adventures through his bar! The Restaurant and Bar is a replica of a 1940s float plane hanger that is full of memorabilia and aviation details. The story is that Jock landed here in Disney Springs looking for the Fountain of Youth. [...]

L’Artisan des Glaces at Epcot

2023-10-04T18:07:03-04:00February 2, 2017|Epcot|

L'Artisan des Glaces is a French ice cream shop found at the France pavilion in EPCOT at Walt Disney World. It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the world showcase, but is not to be missed! Choose from 16 flavors, single or double scoop, in a cone or cup for a cool treat on a hot day. This shop didn’t open until noon the day I visited, but it was well worth the wait. Not only can you get ice cream here, but there is sorbet, macaroon ice cream sandwiches, and the very popular ice cream martini. [...]
