food IS a theme park
We’ve been chauffeuring you around with us on what’s shaped up to be an EPIC reopening day at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs Sign
That’s because several spots have just reopened today at Disney Springs Marketplace and West Side! Now we’ve just spotted some activity at another one of our favorite shops to spend a lot of time (and money) at! 😉
We’ve been walking all over Disney Springs today trying to hit as many of the newly reopened spots as possible!
Pin Traders
So far, we’ve checked out Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories, Goofy’s Candy Company, as well as Dockside Margaritas (we even got a little thirsty on our journey and treated ourselves to a Watermelon Marg!)! But now we’re turning our attention to Pin Traders which has also just reopened in Disney Springs today!
Disneyland Paris has remained closed since mid-March, shutting down its theme parks and hotels right around the same time as its American counterparts.

And while April’s Star Wars Rival Run Weekend in Disney World was canceled this year due to the temporary closures, another runDisney event has been delayed.
While Planet Hollywood was one of the first restaurants in Disney Springs to announce they’d be reopening on May 2oth, we were surprised to find the restaurant unexpectedly closed down last week!

But while walking off our Birthday Cake Shake from the newly reopened Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs today, we found out Planet Hollywood is open once AGAIN!
While Vivoli il Gelato was originally supposed to reopen on May 22nd, the spot ran into some issues and it has remained closed this whole time!

That is — UNTIL TODAY! Vivoli il Gelato is now open! Let’s take a peek inside!
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Disneyland website looking for any evidence regarding when California’s Disney theme parks could be reopening!

And it just so happens we noticed an indicator today that Disneyland could potentially be reopening in July!
Just a few days ago, some of our readers were reporting their multi-day Disney World tickets had magically been extended through September 26, 2021!
Magic Kingdom
Although Disney World hadn’t released any information on the subject, we told you guys we’d wait for more information…and now we have it!
Happy Friday, friends! You made it through another LONG week!
Sprinkles Cupcake ATM
And we think you deserve a special TREAT! Let’s head to Sprinkles in Disney Springs to do a little caloric “banking!”
Moments ago we shared with you the news that Disney World launched a new Annual Passholder webpage with new information on the reservation system.
Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World
There was another HUGE bit of information on this page that we thought we’d share. While Disney mentioned “soft openings” in their proposal, they did not specify who would have early access to the parks.
Now that Disney World’s theme parks have proposed a reopening date of July 11th and July 15th, several Disney World hotels have also confirmed they’ll be reopening starting in June for Disney Vacation Club Members.

The purchasing of park tickets and hotel reservations has been temporarily paused while Disney World prepares its new reservation system, but we did just receive an email from Disney with additional information for DVC guests.
