    Christmas at Walt Disney World 2022: Everything that you can (and should!) do in Walt Disney World instead of the Christmas Party

    ByLisa December 14, 2022December 14, 2022

      I have a secret to share with you.  I didn’t buy tickets to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year.  Would I have enjoyed going? Sure! The party is great – the fireworks and parade and treats and – more than any of that – just overall feeling in the park during the holiday…

SIX RAVENS IS OPEN. 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ A week and SIX RAVENS IS OPEN. 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

A week and change ago, my boys and I were invited to preview Steve Lewis’s newest creation at Disney Springs: a savory new sibling to Gideon’s Bakehouse filled with original characters, Gothic lore, and an opening menu built around house-made Coffyns. And now I can finally share it with you. 

What is a Coffyn? A soft, house-made yeast roll enclosing a savory meal, a popular pastry from hundreds of years ago. It was peasant food, bread stuffed with whatever was available and portable enough to carry to work.

We tried:

🐦‍⬛ The Villain of Valentina, a chicken Coffyn with enough garlic to keep you extremely safe from vampires. Delicious. But not recommended for first dates.

🐦‍⬛ The Imperial Idol, filled with curry-seasoned chicken and served with a creamy, herb-forward sauce.

🐦‍⬛ The Peasant’s Patty, a cheeseburger-style Coffyn that Tyson inhaled before I could get a decent photo.

We also tried the smashed potatoes with Steve’s honey mustard creation, an exclusive-to-Six-Ravens root beer designed not to sit on your palate and overwhelm the other flavors, and an absurdly rich raspberry-and-chocolate tart.

Like Gideon’s, the food is only one part of the experience. Every door handle, mural, and package tells a story. Steve already has plans for the characters you meet inside—including the Oracle watching over the registers.

He went on about tomatoes once being called Wolf Peaches.

It is that old-school “everything speaks” approach that we don’t get enough of these days.

Swipe through for our first look inside and everything we ate and drank.

Six Ravens and Gideon’s sitting side by side at Disney Springs are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

We were invited to attend a preview of Six Ravens. I was not paid for this coverage, and all opinions are my own.
