babycakes NYC tweeted today that they would still be providing products to WDW and it seemed like they would want to come back when Disney Springs is completed

Is there any cupcake worth more than $1?

Oh yes. And I've had one.

I would rather have 15 speciality stores than 1 giant store that it's difficult to make your way around and try to see everything in it.

That's how I feel too. I personally see World of Disney as a big part of the "giant machine" mentality of WDW, and would prefer to see its sections scattered around Downtown Disney in separate little shops instead. It would also even out parking (ie away from Marketplace) and could potentially revive lesser-visited areas of DtD like Pleasure Island. As it is, the insanity of WoD kind of just subtracts from the charming feel of the original Disney Village. Not too thrilled to hear it's expanding.

Pretty soon we should be able to get our Dole Whip fix at CityWalk thanks to Menchie's! No massive lines for Aloha Isle and no going out of my way to the Poly just for a Dole Whip, just grab one on my way in/out. Perfect!

I know there is no logic behind this, but it's just not the same. It might taste the same, it might cost the same (or less), it might be served in the same container, but if I don't purchase it in Adventureland, it's just not the same.

We have Menchie's locally where I live. Tried it one time, and it was so bad, we haven't been back (and will not go back). But I would gladly take a trip to Poly or stand in line at Aloha Ilse for a Dole Whip. Menchie's...yeah, well, to each their own.

And Disneyland ones that you can enjoy in the Tiki Room are even better.

Far better than a Tiki Room where they are forbidden. And that has no Tiki Fountain.

I thought they would be back after Captain Cook's phase of the GCH refurb? Where's Tikiman to settle this?

It may, but that is a long summer away.

So did it close?

I'm pretty bummed. Pollo Campero was probably my favorite place to eat on property.
A couple weeks ago I visited one of their new locations outside Atlanta, and while the yucca fries and beans were good, the chicken wasn't as good as the Disney location's.

I love Baby Cakes! I Always buy those cupcakes I hope they move somewhere else in Disney Springs!

Hope you saw this, not Springs but at least somewhere!

I never had a chance to eat there but that does look good.

Their chicken was really good. I always ate their the first night of my trip.

wow they really aren't messing around on this project... really excited to see the finished Disney Springs project...I think it may surprise a lot of people, even on here (even if it's "just a mall")
