There are so many great places to get drinks while you’re strolling through Disney Springs. And, now Terralina Crafted Italian is promoting a grab-and-go Happy Hour at their outdoor bar!

Disney Springs Merchandise Update

World of Disney

Do you ever see a piece of Disney merchandise and have the urge to buy it just for how much it makes you laugh??

Stitch Hat

We couldn’t help but giggle at the new Stitch Hat at the World of Disney with its giant ears and even bigger teeth.

If you’re lucky enough to have a prestigious degree from Monsters University, we applaud your dedication and hard work to the scaring (er, comedy?) craft.

And, you can rep your favorite campus with Monsters University merch, including bags, shirts, socks and more!

Marketplace Co-Op

Although the Stitch Hat may be the funniest thing we’ve seen in Disney Springs recently, the St. Patrick’s Day and Leap Day Shirts are the strangest! While the holidays have definitely passed, you can still celebrate them at the Marketplace Co-Op.

When we found this Darth Vader Dress, we were about ready to turn to the Dark Side to look as fabulous as a Sith Lord.

Indoor Seating Is BACK at This Classic Ice Cream Spot in Disney Springs!

You know that moment when you just feel so happy about something, you can’t help but smile? That’s how we feel about Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop being back open in Disney Springs!

Indoor Seating Is BACK at This Classic Ice Cream Spot in Disney Springs!

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop

We’ve eaten a ridiculous amount of ice cream from Ghirardelli so far, with the new Gold Rush Sundae and Nacho Sundae (and we don’t even feel sorry about it!), we were happy to find another surprise when we visited today!

Indoor dining was back, baby!!

Ghirardelli previously had closed off its indoor seating and a Cast Member would bring your treats outside to you…

Indoor seating closed

…but now, indoor seating is back open for guests to chill out in the A/C and cool off with some cold treats! Be aware, there isn’t MUCH seating since Ghirardelli is enforcing social distancing measures. So if you go and it’s full, don’t panic! Guests can still sit right outside the shop and enjoy their ice cream.

Ghirardelli Indoor Seating is OPEN!

With so many goodies to choose from at Ghirardelli, we’re happy to sit anywhere as long as we have a nice sundae or shake in our hands!

Even though we’ve been able to have a Frozcato and flaming cheese since Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district reopened, we really missed those HUGE Bubble Waffles! (Just look at how fabulous it is!)

We are super hyped for all the things coming as a part of the epic EPCOT transformation.

While we may not be setting foot in EPCOT again until July 15th, Disney is still making progress on its new attractions and experiences in the parks. And, we’ve got some groovy news for all you Guardians of the Galaxy fans out there!

While many fans have speculated that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind didn’t have a “show” yet, work on the attraction is well underway, according to James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films.

During an Instagram Q&A session, Gunn confirmed that he’s been helping with Cosmic Rewind. Although he didn’t give any specific details about what the indoor rollercoaster would be like, he did state that it would be “utterly mind-blowing.” (It looks like that doggo is just as excited as we are!!)

There’s been no update on construction lately, but the Cosmic Rewind is projected to open at EPCOT ahead of Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021. We’ll keep you up to date on the latest news straight from Star Lord and the rest of the gang! ;D

PHOTOS! Brand NEW Animal Kingdom Bag Check Area in Disney World!

We’re only four weeks out until Disney World’s official grand re-opening!

PHOTOS! Brand NEW Animal Kingdom Bag Check Area in Disney World!

Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The parks will be opening in phases with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom slated to re-open first and Epcot and Hollywood Studios following after them. Although we’ve spotted construction on the McDonald’s, Cinderella Castle, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Walkway, there are even MORE new updates coming to Disney World than we even knew about.

Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we were able to see a first look at the new bag check area coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

While the security check has been under construction for a while with green tarps near the parking lots, the bag check area is projected to (hopefully) open along with the rest of Animal Kingdom on July 11th.

There is a new area for the trams when Disney puts more transportation back into use during the parks’ phased re-openings…

…and enough space for numerous guests to be able to go through security for a smooth entrance into Animal Kingdom.

While there is PLENTY of progress on the new bag check, we can’t be fully certain that the construction will be finished in a month. Disney Springs is also testing a new touchless security check method today that could possibly be used when parks re-open in July as well. However, we will continue to keep you updated on all things Disney World and its re-opening!

Will you be going to Animal Kingdom on July 11th? Let us know in the comments below!
