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!

Pin Traders is THE place for Disney pin collectors to see and be seen! We were interested to see that the shop had flung open its doors since closing last March!

Pin Traders

Like most locations, you’ll find a new hand sanitizer station located near the entrance.

Pin Traders

The multi-sided building Pin Traders is housed in normally has many ways in and out, but as of today, there’s only one entrance and exit. The rest are closed off to guests for the time being. A Cast Member also told us Pin Traders can activate a virtual queue system if needed for busier days as we’ve seen at the other Disney shops and World of Disney, but there was no wait to get in today!

And while the place with chock-full of its normal vast array of hats, Minnie ears, Pop vinyls, and of course, PINS, we were able to confirm that pin trading is NOT happening at Pin Traders at this time. Hmm… this makes the shop’s name a bit of a misnomer — for now!

Pin Traders

This is interesting because according to Disney, “We will continue to offer Guests the opportunity to pin trade with Cast Members through the use of pin boards in select locations. Cast pin trading with lanyards will not be available at this time to maintain physical distancing.” So, we will make sure to keep checking back and we will inform you if and when Pin Traders starts trading again.

We’ll be back with our reporting of which other Disney Springs locations have reopened today, so stay tuned!

Will you be heading to Disney Springs now that Pin Traders is open? Let us know in the comments below!

Review! Is This Watermelon Margarita in Disney World As Refreshing As It Sounds?!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 10, 2020

It’s been a busy day so far at Disney Springs! Not only have a few of our favorite Disney stores reopened today, but also one of our most-beloved bars!

Dockside’s Menu

Just moments ago we told you guys Dockside Margaritas had reopened and since we’ve had a hankering for one of their signature drinks ever since they closed back in March, we promptly put in our order!

Today, we’ll be trying their Watermelon Margarita for $16! This isn’t a seasonal special, but rather a summer-themed drink that lives on the permanent menu right now. We have seen it come and go quite a few times, so we thought we’d give it a try! This boozy mixture consists of Patrón Silver Tequila, Gran Marnier, watermelon and lime juices, and sweet-and-sour mix!

Watermelon Margarita

You can also get either a salt or sugar rim. The Cast Member who mixed ours up recommended the salt since this marg tends to run a little sweet, so we went with her pick!

Watermelon Margarita

The drink is super refreshing and a little dangerous since we couldn’t really taste much of the tequila! It’s a hot day so a lot of our ice had melted before we got to take our first sip! We were happy we went with the Cast Members suggestion to get the salt rim since it added a nice level of contrast to the fruity drink.

Watermelon Margarita

The lime’s citrusy and sour flavors came through strong — although not strong enough to make our lips pucker! The hint of watermelon was much more subtle, adding just a little sweetness to each sip! Overall, we enjoyed this drink and we’d definitely pick up this one again on a hot day at Disney Springs since it’s basically summer in a glass!

Will you be trying the Watermelon Margarita on your next visit to Disney Springs? Let us know in the comments below!

One Of Our Fav Margarita Joints Just Reopened in Disney World!

Post date June 10, 2020

It’s like a whole new world has opened up at Disney World today since May 20th when only a few Disney Springs spots reopened.

Disney Springs

And while we’ve been waiting for stores like Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories as well as Goofy’s Candy Company to reopen, we weren’t quite expecting to see this spot resume its margarita-making business so quickly!

But sure enough, Dockside Margaritas has reopened at Disney Springs! Last month we ran into some Dockside Cast Members who were manning Disney Springs’ outdoor pop-up bar carts while the bars they worked at remained closed due to Governor Ron DeSantis’ orders.

Dockside Margaritas

But now that most of Florida has moved into phase two of the state’s recovery plan, bars are officially a GO! Disney Springs has given Dockside Margaritas the green light and they’re once again churnin’ out their delicious frozen beverages!

Dockside Menu

We noticed the ordering window has had a new plexiglass shield installed and several social distancing markers have been placed on the ground outside so guests can space themselves out while waiting for their margs!

Dockside Margaritas

We’ve just put our order in and we’ll be sharing all the new safety measures Dockside Margaritas has implemented since reopening (as well as a tasty review) in just a little bit, so stay tuned!
