food IS a theme park
Just days ago, Hong Kong Disneyland announced that its grand reopening would take place on June 18th, making it the second Disney park to reopen in the last five months.

The welcome back celebration took place overnight, while many new health and safety measures have been implemented, so let’s go check it out!
Shanghai Disneyland was the first Disney theme park to reopen on May 11th with several modifications.

But now that the park has been open for over a month, more attractions and guest experiences have started back up.
Homecomin’ has reopened in Disney Springs today, and they’re serving up heaping helpings of comfort foods with a side of Southern hospitality — along with some signature moonshine cocktails to wash it all down with.
Homecomin’!
And while we knew Chef Art Smith would be at the reopening of his restaurant today (and to check up on the progress of his new Shine Bar + Social outdoor patio bar!), we got the chance to sit and visit with him!
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill along with Wolfgang Puck Express are now taking Mondays and Tuesdays off.

But since today’s Wednesday, we stopped by the restaurant to see how they’re doing since they’ve got big plans for Father’s Day including a huge feast for dads!
When The LEGO Store reopened on May 27th at Disney Springs, we were curious to see how our shopping experience would be different!
The LEGO Store
Turns out, a lot had changed! Guests were NOT allowed to approach the shelves or touch ANY products inside the LEGO Store and Pick a Brick was no longer available. But today, it looks like Pick a Brick is back –only it’s being done a little bit differently.
There seems to be some wackiness surrounding the uber-popular Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction, a monthly collection of limited edition plush, toys, Minnie Ears, and Loungeflys that are themed after a classic Disney attraction!

Just yesterday, we learned the series could be taking a hiatus, and now we’ve just seen some of the previously-released items magically reappear on shopDisney!
When Disney World temporarily closed in March, it raised A LOT of questions for Annual Passholders!
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder
Shortly after the theme parks’ temporary closure was updated to “until further notice,” Passholders who had paid in full were told their Disney World Annual Passes would be automatically extended for the number of days the parks remained closed. Well, we’ve been getting concerned that those extensions still haven’t come, and we’re hoping to make Theme Park reservations soon. But there seems to be some Annual Pass movement today.
We gotta admit — when we first spotted this Stitch Hat at World of Disney last week, it left us in stitches! How could we NOT laugh at how ridiculously cute this thing is?!
It’s Stitch!
But that wasn’t a big enough Stitch fix for us, so we went out in search of even more cute merch featuring Experiment 626!
The BIG day has finally arrived! While Disney World hotels and theme parks haven’t welcomed back guests just yet, Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs has reopened today.
Homecomin’!
We arrived at Disney Springs bright and early this morning for a little taste of southern hospitality (are we the only peeps who like to rope drop restaurants???).
Who’s ready for some fresh Disney+ content to tide us over until Dinosaurs is released this fall?
