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.

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.

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…

…while the Enchanted Tiki Room Loungefly Backpack lets you take a bit of the tropics with you wherever you go! Anybody else got “The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room” stuck in their heads now?!

You can pick up the new Indiana Jones 1000-Piece Puzzle inspired by the Disneyland attraction for $22.99.

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!

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!

Is It Happy Hour?? A Bunch of Disney Springs Bars Have Reopened Today!

We spotted several bars at Disney Springs that have now reopened!

Disney Springs

Looking for a place to grab a drink in Disney Springs? Well then, we have great news! Now that most of the state of Florida has entered Phase Two of Governor Ron DeSantis’s Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step. Plan for Florida’s Recovery, bars have been given the green light to reopen.

And on our walk-through of Disney Springs, we noticed that a handful of locations have now reopened their bar seating. So, where can you go to snag a spot at the bar?

The Front Porch Bar at House of Blues

Well, let’s start with The Front Porch Bar at House of Blues! While the restaurant and retail store had already reopened earlier this week, the patio and outdoor bar are now welcoming back guests as well.

The Front Porch Bar at House of Blues

The patio is also offering live music performances and happy hour specials!

House of Blues Happy Hour Specials

Guests are asked to maintain social distancing of at least six feet, and contactless payments and menus are available.

Check out the newly reopened House of Blues!

Wine Bar George

Bar seating has also resumed at one of our favorite Disney Springs restaurants, Wine Bar George! For now, bar seating is very limited and is only available downstairs.

Wine Bar George Bar Seating

Wine Bar George has implemented a number of new health and safety measures upon reopening.

Have you seen these loaded fries from The Basket at Wine Bar George??

The Boathouse

The indoor bar at The Boathouse is reopened, but guests are asked not to move the barstools from their current locations.

The Boathouse Indoor Bar

The outside bar at The Boathouse is still closed for now!

We visited The Boathouse when it reopened, check out our experience!

Paradiso 37

We noticed a similar situation at Paradiso 37 — the indoor bar is now reopened, but the outdoor bar is still currently closed.

Paradiso 37 Indoor Bar

Pairs of barstools were spaced apart in order to encourage social distancing.

Paradiso 37 recently updated its operating hours!

STK Orlando

Bar seating is also now available at STK Orlando.

STK Orlando

They will be keeping an empty bar seat between each party in order to allow for distancing.

Check out our review of the reopened STK Orlando!

The Polite Pig

And The Polite Pig has reopened both the outdoor and indoor bars. Here’s a peek at the outdoor seating…

The Polite Pig Outdoor Bar

…and here’s a look at the reopened indoor bar seating!

We spotted a private barrel bourbon flight on the menu here, so the bar seating could be a great place to give it a try!

Check out our review of the NEW menu items at The Polite Pig!

So, if you’re looking for a place at Disney Springs to grab a quick drink, these newly reopened bars should give you several options to consider!

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!
