News: Reopened Theme Parks Will Look “Drastically Different” According to Florida’s Orange County Mayor

Yesterday, Disney World shared that they plan to reopen Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom July 11th followed by Epcot and Hollywood Studios on July 15th.

Today, in a press conference, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings provided updates on the reopening of businesses and theme parks.

Mayor Demings began the conference by addressing the fact that hurricane season begins this Monday, June 1st. He acknowledged that this could cause further complexities to other health and reopening initiatives in the future.

Demings also noted that both SeaWorld and Disney World submitted reopening proposals yesterday. He has submitted letters of endorsement for both and is awaiting a response from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Mayor Demings said that in the last hour, he has heard that 12 smaller theme park reopening plans had been approved, and he suspects Governor DeSantis will get back to him “soon” regarding the larger theme parks.

Mayor Demings also addressed a question about how they will balance safety with the need for business in an economy dependent on tourism. He said that tourist attractions will reopen with reduced capacity and increased sanitation measures, and noted that the theme parks will “look drastically different.”

He also said that multiple organizations could be involved in maintaining compliance, including the Department of Health, Department of Business Regulations, local law enforcement, and more.

We’ll continue to keep a close eye out for any updates from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis regarding approval of the reopening proposals put forth by Disney World and SeaWorld. And we will keep sharing news and information regarding new Disney World processes and regulations as they are released.

House of Blues in Disney World Is “Opening Soon.” Get All the Details on Their New Health and Safety Protocols HERE

Despite many restaurants reopening in Disney Springs, there are a few remaining dining locations that we have yet to hear of an official reopening date.

House of Blues Opening Soon Sign

One of those restaurants is House of Blues. And although we still do not know when they will be reopening, we just noticed an update on their website that says they are “opening soon,” with several new health and safety measurements in place.

House of Blues says they are committing to a “worry-free dining experience” for their guests, starting with reduced capacity in their dining rooms and six feet in between each table.

Seating and Stage Area

Other measurements that will be in place include sanitation stations which will be located throughout the restaurant, and signage reminding guests of the various policies in place.

B. B. Blues Bar

House of Blues will also implement touchless menus like we have seen being implemented throughout Disney Springs, including Wine Bar George. Touchless payment options will also be available.

Wine Bar George QR Code for Digital Menus

House of Blues is asking their guests to comply with their protocols and to observe social distancing, wash hands frequently, and to remain home if they are not feeling well. In regards to face coverings, their website notes that they “encourage guests to wear face coverings and are mandatory if required by local regulations.”

Check out what dining at Disney Springs has been like since their reopening here!

Will you be dining at House of Blues when they reopen at Disney Springs? Let us know in the comments!

B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. Is Now Open in Disney World!

With all the craziness (and the LONG WAIT) that it took to get inside World of Disney yesterday, we’re finally getting around to some other Disney-owned businesses that recently reopened!

B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co.

One of those newly reopened spots happens to be run by the Big Bag Wolf! And if you’re a fan hot dogs and brats, you may be happy to know B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. is open for business!

That’s right, little piggies! B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. officially reopened yesterday! According to the Cast Member we spoke with, they’re operating with only a slightly smaller menu.

B.B. Wolf’s Menu

We also noticed B.B. Wolf’s Maple Bacon Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough was no longer listed on its permanent menu! It’s still available, but this rather temporary-looking pop-up sign gave us a moment of pause!

Check out our review of B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. in Disney Springs here!

B.B. Wolf’s Window

There wasn’t a line at B.B. Wolf’s when we stopped by today, but we did notice they’ve placed some social distancing markers outside just in case there’s a rush! And to see another Disney-owned restaurant we’ve had a chance to visit at Disney Springs recently, click here!

Check out our review of B.B.’s Maple Bacon Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough here!
