NEWS: Disney World Now Waiving Cancellation and Change Fees Through October 3rd

In addition to all the other news being shared by Disney World today referencing hotel stays, we’ve got a newly pushed back date for cancellation and change fee waivers.

Beach Club Resort in Disney World

Previously, Disney World had stated that cancellation and change fees on hotel reservations would be waived through “the end of the closures.” Now that we have a reopening date for the theme parks, Disney has also pushed back the its date allowing guests to update and modify — and even cancel — their reservations even further.

The powers that be at Disney World know that things are going to be very…DIFFERENT…at the parks and resorts in the coming months. As a result, they’re allowing guests a few more months to make up their minds about whether or not to take the plunge and travel to the parks this year.

Guests can now change or cancel their vacations up to October 3rd, 2020, without incurring a fee from Disney World.

Updated language on Disney World’s website

Note that if you’ve booked your Disney World vacation through a third party, cancellation, change fees, and deadlines may be different. Check with them directly for updates to change and cancellation fees.

We’ll be bringing you LOTS more information and details on the hotels and parks reopening here at DFB! Stay tuned, and don’t forget to join our newsletter!

BREAKING NEWS: Disney World Transportation UPDATES That Are Coming SOON.

Disney World will be re-opening in July for guests of all ages to return back to the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”

Walt Disney World

While the parks have been keeping us up to date on their re-opening plans regarding the hotels, FastPasses, Advance Dining Reservations, and more, Disney World has also started to make some changes to how the transportation will operate before and after the parks re-open.

Thanks to @ScottGustin, who sent out the alert about Disney’s updates via twitter, Disney will be modifying a number of transportation options when the resort reopens to guests. While we already knew that the Monorail and ferry boats will be running on a limited basis for resort guests and that buses would be running, there are new updates to what transportation will be accessible.

Before the parks re-open starting July 11th, guests will be able to take buses to and from Disney Springs to the resort areas. Once the parks have opened back up again, guests will still be able to use the buses to travel from the theme parks to the Disney Resort and Disney Springs locations. There will be distancing and reduced capacity of Disney transportation during this time. So expect delays.

Minnie Bus

However, the Minnie Van service and Valet Parking services will not be available. If a guest has a disability, though, they are still able to enquire about the Valet services that will be provided to them. Self-parking will be available to all other guests who are traveling to Disney World.

Orange Garage

Noticably absent from the updates was whether the Skyliner Gondolas will be open again. We will continue to keep you updated on Disney World’s re-opening procedures.

Will you be returning to Disney World when the parks re-open? Let us know in the comments below!

Guess Who’s Back?! The Color Block Corkcicles Have RETURNED in Disney Springs!

Although merchandise comes and goes in Walt Disney World, it can pretty exciting when you’re surprised with a returning item that you thought was gone for good!

The Basket at Wine Bar George

Ever since Wine Bar George’s The Basket has been serving up its “Fries and Frozen” promo, we’ve been snagging up all that frozen Dole Whip goodness in their cute, reusable Corkcickles they sell. But soon after we first spotted the newest color option, the restaurant was all out of the accompanying teal and lime color block Corkcicles.

We were told that there was a possibility that the new Color Block Corkcicle would not be returning after it sold out, but we were SUPER excited to see it was back again today!

New Corkcicle

Remember that the refill procedures are a bit different now! You can still go back to The Basket for $10 refills of FroscatoFrosé, or Freaujolais after purchasing a Corkcicle for $13, but the quick-stop will put your drink in a plastic cup instead of directly in the Corkcicle.

New Corkcicle Procedure

Even though they used to refill it inside the Corkcicle itself, The Basket is following the health and safety procedures at Disney Springs during this time. If you want the refill, you’ll still need to bring your Corkcicle along with you to show to the cashier to get the discount! Those frozen drinks are SO worth it, though.

Read our full review of Wine Bar George’s re-opening here!

NEWS: This Spot Is MISSING in Disney Springs Today!

We’ve been going to Disney Springs every day to bring all the news you need to know (and to get a Froscato, of course).

Disney Springs

While there have been plenty of restaurants and stores re-opening around the shopping and dining district, we couldn’t help but notice that one place had disappeared today!

Although Joffrey’s Coffee is open for guests to grab some Face Coffee, the Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies kiosk on the West Side is gone!

Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies Area

Instead of the kiosk, there are a bunch of plants and shrubs in the area instead.

Where Did Joffrey’s Go??

While the Marketplace kiosk is still open…

Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies

…we’re not sure if the West Side Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies will be returning or if this is just a temporary move!

Missing Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies

Cast Members weren’t sure if the location would be coming back or not, so we’ll keep you updated on whether Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies’ disappearance is temporary or permanent!

We’ve got all the details on how you can drink your Joffrey’s Coffee with a face mask here!

What’s your favorite Joffrey’s drink? Let us know in the comments below!
