It’s been a crazy last few days at Disney Springs! Even our LEGO pal can’t keep up with all the madness that’s been happening!!
Disney Springs
But don’t worry! We’ll get you caught up on EVERYTHING that’s new — from restaurants that have reopened, to new merchandise and MORE, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s get goin’!
Disney Springs Food Update
Homecomin’
One of our favorite spots to come home to at Disney Springs has just reopened — Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’!

In addition to delicious fried chicken and more, Homecomin’ is also selling the adorable Chicken Print Face Mask Chef Art was wearing, along with plenty of other NEW MERCH!

The Polite Pig
The Polite Pig has been embroiled in a bit of a cookie mix-up! Earlier this week, they announced they would no longer be selling Gideon Bakehouse Cookies (which we later found out was because Gideon’s will soon be getting its own Disney Springs digs).
Gideon’s Cookies — Chocolate Chip
As a replacement, they debuted a new Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie — HOWEVER, folks seemed to think it was a Gideon’s Cookie knock-off…
Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie
…so they changed the recipe AGAIN and came up with THIS Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie instead!
Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie
Welp, there’s no mistaking it NOW! The Polite Pig is selling its new Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie all day (or until it sells out) for $5 and there’s no limit on how many you can get, so pile ’em up!

The Basket at Wine Bar George
Just in time for Father’s Day, The Basket at Wine Bar George has brought back their gunmetal Corkcicles!
Corksicles
They cost $35 and include a drink with purchase!
Morimoto Asia Street Food
At Chef Morimoto’s fast-casual spot, we found Kona Brewing POG Beer!
Hanalei Island IPA by Kona Brewing Co.
That’s right, friends! Morimoto Asia Street Food knows what’s up! They’ve got POG Juice beer! They also had a new Yuzu Lager, too!
Check out our review of Kona Brewing Co.’s POG Beer here!
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill has debuted a few new items on their menus, like this new Buffalo Chicken Pizza!
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
We say menus (plural!) because instead of offering an all-day menu, the restaurant is now switching over to a dinner menu in the afternoon (although it’s basically the same menu with the addition of a Mojo Marinated Skirt Steak entrée).

The Coca Cola Store and Rooftop Beverage Bar
The Coca-Cola Store and Rooftop Beverage Bar has also officially reopened! We sat down to try out its boozy Coca-Cola Brownie Masher!
Coca-Cola Brownie Masher
Note: the elevators to access the upstairs bar are not in service, so you’ll have to hoof it up to the top floor!
Check out our FULL REVIEW of the Coca-Cola Brownie Masher here!
Construction Updates at Disney Springs
NBA Experience
Today was the first time we’ve seen the outside screens on at the NBA Experience since Disney Springs closed.

NBA Experience is still closed, however, we might see it open soon, especially with the NBA players coming to town to finish their 2020 season!

Merchandise Update
Complimentary PhotoPass
On Thursday, June 18th, Cast Members around Disney Springs were offering FREE photographs around Disney World’s shopping center.
Complimentary Photos sign
The experience seems to have been limited to that day, but who knows?! It could come back!
The LEGO Store
The LEGO Store has had quite a few changes since reopening at Disney Springs, and we recently noticed that the Pick-A-Brick is back!
LEGO Pick-a-Brick
There are a few differences. Instead of grabbing the bricks yourself, you fill out an order form and an employee will grab the LEGO for you. Because you can’t grab the bricks yourself, your order will come with an extra bag of bricks.
Read all about the new Pick a Brick sitch here!
DisneyStyle
Over at DisneyStyle, we spotted a rockin’ faux-leather Animal Wristlet by Loungefly for $40!
How cute is this!?
It comes with a detachable wrist strap with clasp and a belt loop attachment, so you can wear your Muppet spirit gear any way you desire when Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopens!

We’re about ready to go to infinity and beyond to grab the adorable Toy Story Keychain with all our favorite characters (even the Green Army Men) for $9.99.
Toy Story Keychain
And, we’re also loving the Neon Water Bottle, which is bright and ombré for $29.99. It’s a great accessory to tote around with you at home as you organize all your Disney merchandise, or to take with you in the parks.

We’ve spotted face coverings all around Disney Springs, but Anthropologie started carrying masks over the weekend.

I really want to get the Goofy mask for my Dad however I live in Washington State. Do you know how I can order it and have it shipped?
One bit of news about the Coke Store. If you have a refillable cup or bottle, they will not fill it unless it is a new purchase. If you are bringing one back for a refill, they will give you the drink in a paper cup. While I didn’t pour it into the bottle, it didn’t seem to be as much as a normal refill.
