Orlando Mayor Demings states that Disney World will submit reopening plans next week

Disney World Castle

In an interview with CNBC, Orlando Mayor Demings states that Disney World will submit reopening plans to the Orange County Task Force next week.

“Disney has given an indication that next week, they will submit their plans, and once they do, then we will schedule that for a full briefing before our Economic Recovery Task Force as well. So at this point, it’s an undefined time or date, but we do look forward to seeing that sometime next week.”

Earlier today Universal Studios Orlando submitted their reopening plans to the Orange County Task Force with a projected date of June 5th. You can see the complete plans here.

We should have a better idea when Disney World is expected to open when they submit their reopening plan sometime next week!

Review! YES. We’re Eating Pepperoni Pizza Bread and Mac & Cheese at Earl of Sandwich in Disney World!

We’re back at Disney Springs today to eat…again — we ATE at A LOT of restaurants yesterday, which you can see here!

Earl of Sandwich

We’re here ready to do lunch at Disney World’s Earl of Sandwich today. Let’s go check it out!

Earl of Sandwich continues to use disposable paper menus today (as we mentioned yesterday)!

Earl of Sandwich Menu

Originally, we had plans to order a side of Wings and Wedges which were on the menu, but we were told they didn’t have them in stock.

We ended up going with Hawaiian BBQ, Wings, Mac and Cheese, and Pepperoni Pizza Bread instead — with a side of Frose! Like we mentioned yesterday, each register has a newly-installed plexiglass shield.

Earl of Sandwich Counter

In the dining room there are fewer tables and they have been spaced apart. Most of the tables inside were occupied.

There were still places for some guests to sit off to the side.

When we placed our order we were given a pager.

We went to get our order from the pick-up window which has also been enclosed with more plexiglass. Everything was wrapped to-go and we carried our lunch outside where the tables have also been moved around to give guests more space to dine.

Food

For $8.99 this Frose was pretty darn tasty. We would definitely order it again on a hot day at Disney Springs!

Next, we located our plastic cutlery — the handles were unwrapped while the ends were covered in plastic.

We dove right into the Mac and Cheese for $5.49, (which we already knew would be freaking awesome, only somehow it seemed tastier than ever before!) as it just our imagination or was there an extra layer of cheese melted on top? Either way, it totally hit the spot.

Mac and Cheese

Next, we got to work on our Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich which cost us $7.99! Hello, old friend! How we missed your shiny metallic red, blue, and silver foil wrapper!

Earl of Sandwich

Oh my goodness, you guys. The flavors in this sandwich are such a good mix. Let’s just say Earl of Sandwich knew what they were doing when they created this anything-but-little tropical delight!

Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich

Even if you’re normally completely against pineapple on anything warm, you might actually want more pineapple on this bad boy! The ham was really tasty while the chicken in the sandwich isn’t very flavorful on its own, but when you bite into all the ingredients at once, it’s a mind-blowing experience.

Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich

Last up, the Pepperoni Pizza Bread for $6.99. For us, this looked a whole lot better than it ended up being. We think the pizza at Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza or Pizza Ponte are better options if you’re in the mood. The pizza itself was good, but the crust was a little thick for our liking and it had a little too much sauce. We can be a little nit-picky when it comes to our pizza, though, so don’t be afraid to try it out!

Pepperoni Pizza Bread

Overall

Wow! We can’t believe how long it’s been since we enjoyed some Earl of Sandwich! We’re VERY full and energized after such a tasty meal! The food was fresh, filling, and delicious. Dining  here is a little different due to all of the changes, but our service and food were great!

Disney World Park Hours

In what seems to be a weekly thing Disney World has removed park hours this week until June 14th on their website.

You might remember the news we shared last week where park hours were pushed up until June 7th so like in weeks past it has made the move 1 week ahead.

Disney credit rating

Earlier today we shared the news that both Disney World and Disneyland have canceled reservations through mid-June.

Other theme parks like Legoland & H20 Live Waterpark have announced plans to reopen as early as this weekend.

As soon as we have word from Disney on an opening date we will share it here on Chip and Co!

NEWS: Disney World is Canceling MORE June Reservations

Disney World is currently accepting new bookings starting July 1st, but a reservation does not mean that your vacation is secured.

Spaceship Earth

Many guests have booked reservations for June, only to have them subject to cancelation. Just last week we reported that Disney World had begun canceling reservations in early June. Now, Disney is reaching out to notify guests that their later June reservations will be canceled as well.

Disney is currently sending out notification to guests with vacation days up to June 13th with information to modify or cancel their hotel reservations or travel packages. Now, one of our readers shared that their June 8th-13th vacation was canceled.

Monorail at Disney World

As a reminder, Disney is waiving any change or cancellation fees for guests affected by the closure. If you are affected by the new round of cancellations and do not take any action, Disney will automatically cancel and refund your hotel reservation.

Magic Kingdom

If you have any questions about the new round of cancelations or your booking, you can call (407) 934-7639 for Disney Customer Support. To cancel or change your reservation, you can do so online using My Disney Experience.

Are your Disney plans impacted by the cancelations? Share your story in the comments!
