Wine Bar George Features Fun Summer Corkcicle

wine bar george corkcicle

Summer is coming quickly here in Florida and you can be ready with this adorable Corkcicle from Wine Bar George.  The teal and lime color blocks scream “Take me to the pool/beach!”

There are so many reasons to love the Wine Bar George Corkcicles.  The first reason is that they are so pretty.  The second is they come with a free drink at time of purchase (see list below). The third reason is they keep drinks cold for an extended period of time.  And the final reason has become the fact that you get refills on the frozen cocktails for $3 off ($10 instead of $13).  Refills are currently served in a plastic cup due to Coronavirus precautions.

These cute Corkcicles can be purchased at The Basket, a quick-service window connected to Wine Bar George at Disney Springs.  The Corksicles are $35 each plus tax but, as mentioned before, come with one of the frozen drinks listed above.  My favorite is the Dole Whip Frozcato but all of them are refreshing in the Florida heat.

Which one will you try?

Spaceship Earth Now Officially Closed for Refurbishment

spaceship earth

According to the Disney World website Spaceship Earth is now officially closed for refurbishment.

Before the closure of Walt Disney World we reported that Spaceship Earth was set to close on May 26th for a ride refurbishment but the Disney World website did not have it listed as closed till today.

Spaceship Earth is supposed to receive an update to go with the new look & feel of Epcot.

You’ll visit Egypt, which is part of the current version of the attraction, but it will be an Egypt like you’ve never seen before, transformed through the power of light.

Throughout the attraction, you’ll hear new narration and see how light plays a central role in our shared human journey, coming to life in dynamic ways in a celebration of the magic that’s possible when we all come together.

With the big news of today that Disney World will be submitting their reopening plans to Orange County tomorrow it looks like if they were to reopen we won’t be able to have one last right on the classic Epcot attraction.

Disney World to present reopening plans to Orange County Wednesday

Walt Disney World officials will be presenting reopening plans to Orange County’s economic recovery task force tomorrow, Wednesday, May 27th.

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said Tuesday that Disney is slated to make their presentation about reopening during the 10 a.m. meeting Wednesday. Demings also said two health officials with the county were at the theme parks on Tuesday conducting inspections.

“Walt Disney World will submit a proposal tomorrow, May 27, to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force in Florida for a phased reopening of the resort’s theme parks,” Disney said in a statement Tuesday.

If the task force approves Disney’s reopening plans tomorrow, it will go to the mayor. Once the mayor signs off, it will be sent to Governor Ron DeSantis for approval.

We can’t wait to find out what Disney’s plans are for reopening Disney World!

Tokyo Disneyland’s Shopping District to Reopen on June 1st

tokyo disney

Tokyo Disneyland‘s shopping and dining district, Ikspiari, announced it will be reopening June 1st. Located near the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland, Ikspiari is the Japanese equivalent of Downtown Disney or Disney Springs.

The Japanese government recently announced that it would be releasing the state of emergency for Tokyo which is allowing Ikspiari and other businesses to reopen.

While most of the Tokyo Disney Resort remains closed, measures will be taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to promote the safety and security of employees and customers at Ikspiari.

  • Not all businesses will be open. Businesses that are open will be restricted to 11AM-7PM.
  • Temperatures will be checked upon entry. Anyone with a temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius will not be admitted.
  • Entry may be restricted during high-traffic hours.
  • Only the following entrances will be open:
    First Floor – Clock Tower Plaza, The Courtyard
    Second Floor – Maihama Station
  • Cinema Ikspiari’s ticket booth will operate from 11AM-6:30PM. No late-night shows will be offered.
  • The Tokyo Disney Resort Ticket Center will remain closed for the time being.

The Tokyo Disney Resort and Ikspiari are owned and operated by Oriental Land Company, not Disney. However, this reopening could mark a step towards reopening Tokyo Disneyland.
