food IS a theme park
While we’ve been busy becoming masters of Disney World’s new reservation system (check out our tutorial here!), we’ve also been trying to figure out who will have access to park reservations when it goes live on June 22nd.
A Sight For Sore Eyes!
So far, we’ve been able to confirm guests staying at Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resort (which is owned by Marriott) will have the same access as guests staying at Disney-owned hotels.
Is your pet a Rebel, or will they join the Dog Side? 😉
World of Disney
The Force will be strong with your little Jedi pup thanks to these Star Wars Leashes and Collar we spotted today at World of Disney in Disney Springs!
The global health crisis has had a pretty big effect on the entertainment industry.
The Rise of Skywalker at AMC
Just last week, we reported that AMC Theatres were working towards a summer reopening. Now, the movie theater chain has announced that they will be opening 450 U.S. locations on July 15th and the remaining 150 on July 24th.
Disney Springs has a lot of great Happy Hour specials happening right now.

But today, we found out about another one that’s only going to be around for a limited time!
Between Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party being canceled in 2020, Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival starting early this year, and Disney World 2021 Bookings scheduled to begin on June 28, we know there has been a ton of information to keep up with.
House of Blues Orlando
Well, now House of Blues Orlando just released an awesome deal you gotta see! Calling all Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, and Cast Members to the stage for this discount!
Earlier this week, we were truly shaken to our core when we found out The Polite Pig in Disney Springs was no longer selling the famous Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie! THE HORROR!
R.I.P. Gideon’s Cookies at The Polite Pig!
Of course, we later found out WHY, and also much to our relief, The Polite Pig began offering its own replacement: hence the Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie was born!
We noticed some really cool items at World of Disney in Disney Springs today — like these Drizella and Anastasia Pot Holders!

And one of our favorite finds is an Up-inspired journal that’s giving us allllll the feels!
We were really hoping Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’s new outdoor Shine Bar + Social would be opening with the rest of the restaurant today. Ever since we spotted construction on this secret project at one of our favorite Disney Springs’ spots, we’ve become a little obsessed!
Shine Bar
And while we had a marvelous time at Homecomin’s grand reopening (and maybe brought home a fabulous Chicken Print Face Mask or two with our doggy bag of leftovers) the new patio bar is only open for outdoor seating for the time being. Let’s take a peek at, anyways!
Disney World is working through a phased reopening. Some Disney Vacation Club resorts are set to open on June 22nd and the parks will follow next month. Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will reopen on July 11th, and Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15th.Â
Disney World
With the return of guests, Disney will need to bring back many of their Cast Members. Some workers have already been called back to staff the now-open locations in Disney Springs and in preparation for the reopening of some of the resort hotels. Now, according to the Orlando Hotel and Restaurant Workers Movement, even MORE Disney World workers are being called to return to work soon.
We noticed something rather unusual in Disney Springs today!
