Step Inside Once Upon A Toy — Now Reopen in Disney Springs!

You’ll find Once Upon A Toy in the Disney Springs Marketplace.

This cheerful stop packed with tons of fun finds for the kids (and all of us kids at heart) is now reopen for guests!

Of course, new safety measures are in place in keeping with all the new health protocols now implemented in stores and restaurants throughout Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district.

Once Upon A Toy

Similar to the World of Disney, for instance, cast members keep track of the number of guests inside the store as part of limited capacity measures to allow for physical distancing.

There is hand sanitizer available at the entrance, and plexiglass has been installed at the registers.

Signage in the store provides more reminders to keep at a safe distance.

Still, as always, there are plenty of TOYS to check out, along with nods to our very favorite pals from Toy Story.

And remember, you can also find a few items that were once unique to Pandora — The World of AVATAR in Animal Kingdom, including Banshees from the Banshee Rookery at Windtraders here!

So remember that you can find the Banshees here in advance of the reopening of Animal Kingdom park itself, which will welcome guests again — as will Magic Kingdom — on July 11th. EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will follow on July 15th. And you can read the latest news on the reopening of Walt Disney World by visiting any of the links below.

But for now, it’s SO LONG from all your favorite TOYS at Once Upon A Toy!

We’re Spicing Things Up at The Spice & Tea Exchange — Now Reopen in Disney Springs!

Among the shops now open in Disney Springs as Disney World’s shopping and dining district continues in its phased reopening is The Spice & Tea Exchange in the Marketplace.

The Spice & Tea Exchange

The Spice & Tea Exchange reopened yesterday (as did several other locations including the World of Disney and The Daily Poutine, among many others). If you haven’t checked it out previously, we hope you’ll join us as we step back inside this shop packed with herbs, gourmet spices, and lots of fun finds for the tea connoisseur in your life!

Before we step in, a word or two about the new entry and safety procedures…

Distance Markers outside the store

As you approach the entrance you’ll notice the distancing signs on the ground that are starting to look very familiar around Disney Springs to promote physical distancing as guests wait to enter the store. Traffic flow is directed with doors designated for entering and exiting.

Exit Only Marker

We were able to walk in, though, without a wait. Immediately upon entry, we were offered hand sanitizer.

As we explored the shelves, we were still welcome to open jars.

It’s well worth mentioning that the jars and displays are continuously being wiped down by cast members.

Over 140 spice blends are on offer here, including — but by no means limited to — these Custom Blends for seafood dishes like the Spicy Tuna Rub, a Northwest Salmon Rub, and a Coastal Blend.

And you can sweeten things up with specialty sugars like Salted Caramel, Lemon, and Key Lime!

Oh, and we mentioned fun tea finds earlier, didn’t we? It didn’t take long to fall in love with these animal-shaped tea infusers!

And the crazy cute Float Teas (pool float-style tea infusers) are practically irresistible.

And that’s just a glimpse of what’s in store! You may be surprised by what you’ll find at The Spice & Tea Exchange if it’s not a stop you’ve made previously in a visit to Disney Springs.

News! Basin is Set to Reopen with Disney Springs on May 20th

Disney Springs is set to begin a phased reopening on May 20th and we’ve been keeping track of all the restaurants and stores that will be opening that day!

Basin

There are several third-party locations opening on May 20th, though Disney-owned stores won’t be opening until the following week. Today, we heard from Basin that their Disney Springs location WILL be opening the same day as the complex!

Basin is a fan-favorite store in Disney Springs thanks to its super cute and fun bath and body products. Plus, they’re all-natural!

Basin Soap

The in-store experience at Basin is typically very hands-on, so we’re interested to see what sort of changes this location will have with the new health measures. After all, Basin is a soap store and there is a significant focus on hand-washing right now.

Basin

We are updating our list of restaurants and shops that are reopening for May 20th. Keep checking back at DFB for our complete coverage of the reopening of Disney Springs this Wednesday.

Will you be headed to Disney Springs when it reopens on Wednesday? Let us know in the comments!
