Attendees can not only sample delicious food, but they can also learn about the product and techniques—and maybe become an Egghead themselves. In fact, those who catch the bug can take advantage at EggFest. Travel Country Outfitters is offering a limited number of significantly discounted Big Green Egg packages on the Eggs that will be used at the event.

Available by the slice every Wednesday and Saturday in stores, and also available as a whole cake preorder for your Thanksgiving table. Whole Cakes can only be picked up at The End End Market location.⁣⁣⁣ Ravens have long been tied to the lore of the Tower of London, but why? Legend claims that, should the six resident ravens ever leave, the fortress would crumble. But who introduced this notion? Who whispered into the ears of leaders over the ages and solidified the presence of this mystical flock? Some claim it was a mysterious figure. Others say it was the birds themselves. It is, of course, possible that both of these ideas are correct. Gideon's have uncovered lore that refers to her only as The Six Ravens, and she enters our world this month as if visiting from another. ⁣⁣⁣ The Six Ravens T-shirt, Pin, and Signed Print are now available only at gideonsbakehouse.com as a 48-hour preorder. The Pumpkin Chai Candle RETURNS with a new Pumpkinfist Label! Available in stores and online. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The Six Ravens appears on this month’s menu, available to those standing in line at Gideon’s in Disney Springs, and one is included free with every merch order through Thanksgiving. The menu will change on Black Friday! Gideon's Bakehouse began in a home kitchen with one goal: to create an extraordinary Chocolate Chip Cookie. Fifteen years and thousands of tests later, the work was complete, Staying true to the original process, cutting no corners, putting every handmade detail into the 20 hours required to prepare a single almost half pound Cookie or a tall slice of Cake, Gideon's invite people from around the world to share in the sweet and the salty goodness that is hand baked into every Cookie or Cake. You can visit Gideon's in Disney Springs, Sunday to Thursday 10 am to 11pm, and Friday and Saturday 10 am to 11:30 pm. Or you can visit Gideon's at their original location at the East End Market, which is located at 3201 Corrine Dr, Orlando, the store here is open seven days per week, 10am to 7pm. Things To know Before Visiting Gideon’s At Disney Springs! Gideon’s Bakehouse is a popular single-owner small business based in Orlando that has gained international attention when it opened it's location at Disney Springs. It can get pretty crazy at the Disney Springs store with people waiting for hours to get their hands on a prized Gideon's near half pound cookie! To help you get enjoy lots of yummy Gideon's goodness, the bakery have shared some helpful information based on an average day to set an expectation and help you plan. The bakery opens at 10 am, but the line typically begins to form at 9 am, when the parking garage opens. Once the bakery opens, when the line gets too long, they switch to a Virtual Queue. This allows you to go anywhere while waiting for a return text. On weekdays the Virtual Queue can start anytime from open to evening or not at all, depending on crowds. On weekends and holidays it can happen right at 10am. After receiving your text, you will check in at the end of the return line. It looks scary but is typically no more than a 15-minute wait. For international guests, we will give you a return time if you can’t receive texts. Sign up for the queue must be done in person. When active, you will find Gideon's staff to the right of the front door under the protection of Gideon's Gargoyle. Plan for wait times of around two hours. For busy days (Friday through Sunday, holidays, holiday seasons), the virtual queue averages five hours. The earlier you arrive, the shorter the wait and the better the selection since limited edition items will sell out. A general rule, if you know the parks are slammed, we’re slammed. On average, between 6 pm and 8 pm every day the virtual queue is active, and the waiting list will hit capacity. When this happens the bakery closes the queue to handle everyone on the list and to ensure the bakery closes on time.
