Kawaii Slime Cart: The Cutest Slime Experience

Coming this fall, the Kawaii Slime Cart will bring a whole new level of fun to Downtown Disney. “Kawaii” means cute in Japanese, and this mom-owned business delivers exactly that. The cart will feature an array of slimes in different textures, colors, scents, and glittery mix-ins. It’s perfect for kids and kids at heart who love to stretch, squeeze, and play!

New Dining Concepts from Michelin-Starred Chef Joe Isidori

Downtown Disney is about to get a serious upgrade in the dining department with two new restaurant concepts from Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori. Located on the site of the former Tortilla Jo’s, these eateries will bring a taste of luxury and comfort:

• Steakhouse: This full-service restaurant will offer a sophisticated atmosphere with a menu focused on prime cuts of beef, fresh seafood, and innovative cocktails. It’s perfect for a special night out.
• Barbecue Spot: This quick-service spot will specialize in traditional BBQ favorites like pulled pork, beef brisket, and smoked wings. A prominent outdoor bar will feature a selection of craft beers and moonshine cocktails, making it a great place to unwind.

The Carnaby Tavern: A Nod to the Swinging ‘60s

Fans of Earl of Sandwich will be thrilled to hear about The Carnaby Tavern, a new table service concept coming to the second floor above the Earl of Sandwich. This restaurant is inspired by the swinging ‘60s and British Invasion pop and rock bands. With a patio and an indoor/outdoor full-service bar, it’s set to become a lively new addition to the dining scene.

For now, Earl of Sandwich enthusiasts can continue to enjoy their favorites at the current location on the east side of Downtown Disney or the new pop-up pod near Star Wars Trading Post.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
