NEWS! Disney Springs Resumes Normal Operating Hours

Disney Springs has undergone a LOT of changes since it began its phased reopening on May 20th.

Aerophile is flying high in the sky!

In addition to restaurants, shops, and bars reopening (and occasionally closing back up), Disney Springs has had some changes in its operating hours.

When Disney Springs reopened, they announced that they’d be open from 10AM to 10PM. But on May 31st, Disney Springs reduced its house even further, closing at 7PM due to a curfew in Orange County.

Disney Springs

That curfew has ended, meaning that the Disney Springs hours have changed yet again. Tonight, Disney Springs will be OPEN until 10PM, and the website is showing posted hours from 10AM to 10PM again.

Disney Springs hours June 8, 2020

The calendar is showing these hours through the end of June! Hours vary depending on location, but you can shop at World of Disney and stroll around the center until well into the night once again!

Heading to Disney Springs soon? Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about its reopening.

Will these updated hours affect your next trip to Disney Springs? Let us know in the comments!

NEWS and PHOTOS: Check Out What’s Parked Once Again in Disney Springs!

In our trip to Disney Springs today, our eyes were greeted with a familiar sight.

Food Trucks in Disney Springs

The Disney Food Trucks are parked once more at their home base of Exposition Park on the West Side of Disney Springs!

As a reminder, Exposition Park is located right near the West Side Starbucks. The Food Trucks do see some makeovers from time to time, and the current line-up includes Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet

…and Mac & Cheese.

We also spotted the very latest addition to the Disney Food Trucks — Hot Diggity Dogs!

ICYMI, Hot Diggity Dogs just opened in February, and you can check out our review here!

Hot Diggity Dogs Menu

Now, as of today, the Food Trucks are simply parked in the West Side — they aren’t serving guests at the moment. Though (as you can tell ? ), we did get to take a peek at the menus.

Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet Menu

Oh man, could we go for some Lobster and Shrimp Mac & Cheese right about now!

Mac & Cheese Menu

In speaking with a member of Guest Relations we learned that the trucks don’t have a reopening date just yet, as they still need to be cleaned and restocked.

But they are indeed a bright and cheerful sight, as always! And, in case you’d like to read up on what the Disney Food Trucks have in store when they do reopen, you can visit any of the links below! Where will YOU be stopping first?

Check out our FULL REVIEWS for Mac & Cheese, Hot Diggity Dogs, and the Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet Food Trucks!

This Disney Springs Restaurant Is Surprisingly CLOSED Today

We’ve been hanging out in the reopened Disney Springs a LOT.

Wolfgang Puck

Can you blame us? It’s nice to see some of our favorite Disney restaurants getting back into the swing of things. But wait, it looks like one of our favorite spots inexplicably didn’t open today. Check out which Disney Springs restaurant is surprisingly CLOSED today!

We swung by Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill and the accompanying Wolfgang Puck Express today to see how things are going since the spots reopened. To our surprise, the entire Wolfgang Puck location was CLOSED!

Wolfgang Puck Closed

We’re not sure why this location hasn’t opened today and there wasn’t anyone around for us to ask. Oddly enough, the hours are still listed as closing at 8PM on the restaurant’s website and on social media.

Wolfgang Puck Closed

While information online does not reflect the closure, we noticed that a sign had been put in the window noting updated hours! Looks like Wolfgang Puck will remain closed on Mondays and Tuesdays for now. The location will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 12PM to 6PM.

Wolfgang Puck closed

We’re not sure what brought about this change but maybe we’ll find out more in the coming days. It is important to note that Planet Hollywood closed unexpectedly last week as well. In the meantime, if you were hoping to eat at Wolfgang Puck — don’t head to Disney Springs on a Monday or Tuesday!

What’s New in Disney Springs: Merch That’s Flying Off Shelves and the Reopening of SO. MANY. BARS!

Disney Springs is getting back into the groove after its initial reopening on May 20th.

World of Disney Queue

Yes, with the reopening of World of Disney and more restaurants, there are TONS of new merchandise items, food, and drinks. Oh, and the crowds are coming BACK, so let’s dive right on in!

Disney Springs Crowd Update

We’ve seen some hustle and bustle while in Disney Springs today!

World of Disney Virtual Queue Sign

We’ve seen the shopping and dining district pretty empty recently, but World of Disney needed to use a Virtual Queue since it was a bit more hoppin’ than usual!

Disney Springs Merchandise Update

World of Disney

We don’t know about you guys, but we think that the new Pain and Panic Socks at World of Disney are insanely cool! The magenta and blue socks feature Hades’ sidekicks from Hercules with little fuzzy “ears” and a WHOLE lot of detail.

Pain and Panic Socks

And, if you want another iconic duo to add to your wardrobe, you can look as cute as a plush toy wearing the Ducky and Bunny Socks! These socks are totally just as fun as the wonderfully wacky tag-team from Toy Story 4.

Take a look at the Ducky and Bunny Socks here!

Just when you thought you had enough Loungefly bags, two new backpacks arrived on the shelves of World of Disney. Well, they can barely stay on the shelves, since they’re THAT popular! The Mickey Balloon Loungefly Backpack keeps selling out (but it will be restocked soon) because it’s so cute…

Sephora

All you makeup gurus out there will be happy to know that Sephora is open in Disney Springs (yaaas)! You could already swing by American Threads, The Polite Pig, or Vera Bradley to get a face covering, and now Sephora is selling their own version!

Sephora Employee

And, the best part is that the makeup store will donate $5 of your $10 purchase of the mask to charity. Now that’s just another reason to love Sephora!

Read all about the donations that Sephora is giving with their face masks here!

Disney Springs Food Update

Bar Seating

Happy Hour is ON, folks! Indoor and outdoor bar seating has started to reopen across Disney Springs — and we are hyped! If you’re ready to get sippin’ and snackin’ while you’re visiting, we have an extensive list of places that you can go!

House of Blues Happy Hour Specials

Note that the bars in Disney Springs are following distancing measures! House of Blues’ outdoor and indoor bars are open with seating and a happy hour special on Fridays and Saturdays.

STK Orlando has also made its indoor dining room and bar seating available again…

The Basket at Wine Bar George

While we thought that the Color Block Corkcicle might be gone for good after it sold out at Wine Bar George’s The Basket, we were SUPER happy to see that it was back in stock!

New Corkcicle Procedure

So, now you can drink all the Froscato your heart desires! (We’ll never get over how good that Dole Whip slush is, you guys!)

Take a look at how the Corkcicle refills have changed at The Basket!

Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies

While things come and go in Disney World, we were so surprised to find that Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies had disappeared from the West Side of Disney Springs!

Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies Area

Right now, there are a bunch of shrubs where the kiosk used to be. We aren’t sure if the West Side location will be reopening again, but you can still visit Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies at the Marketplace.

Check out all the details on the missing Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothie kiosk here!

Well, that’s all for this What’s New at Disney Springs! We’ll catch you next time for more merchandise, crowd, and food updates!
