Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs! Disney Springs And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in! Disney Springs Merchandise Update MAC Cosmetics This time at home has been filled with plenty of self-care (and possibly copious amounts of boxed wine). So while you’re getting your out next round of toiletries and face care, you can stop at the newly re-opened MAC and Origins stores in Disney Springs! Mac and Origins are BOTH open! The store is open with a limited capacity of 5 people and makeup testing and applications are suspending during this time. But, MAC is back open with 40% of different products and a BOGO deal for red lipstick where you can get one free when you spend $30. Welcome back to MAC! While the makeup on the counters have usually been open for guests to look at the colors, clear caps have been put on everything instead as a health and safety precaution. MAC Cosmetics So you can look, but no touchy! Origins Origins has also opened with specific safety measures in the stores. Hand-sanitizer is available outside and inside for guests to use. Origins But, the sink is closed off right now so guests can’t test some of the toiletry products in Origins.

Many guests, including ourselves, have been back in Disney World to dine at our favorite restaurants again (how we’ve missed Homecomin‘s Cheddar Drop Biscuits). Shine Bar and Social However, dining locations around the parks and resorts have been following strict health and safety regulations with Mobile Dining Check-in, distanced seating, limited menus, and more. Still, some guests have had affected Advance Dining Reservations now that Disney World’s park hours have been shortened beginning September 8th. We’ve got the scoop on how Disney will handle this. As the parks continue their initial re-opening, Disney has stated that they would be making changes when they were necessary. One possible way we’ve seen this happen is through Disney announcing they’d be further reducing park hours starting in September. Plaza Outdoor Seating On September 8th, Magic Kingdom will have its hours reduced from its previous hours of 9AM to 7PM to 9AM to 6PM, EPCOT will go from 11AM to 7PM instead of 11AM to 9PM, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be listed at 10AM to 7PM rather than 10AM to 8PM, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open from 9AM to 5PM opposed to its previous 8AM to 6PM hours. San Angel Inn Since the parks are operating with even more limited hours next month, certain guests’ dining reservations could be affected during this time. If guests had booked reservations during a time that the parks WERE open, but have since been reduced, they could be left with essentially a non-usable reservation. If a guest booked, for example, a 6:30PM dinner reservation in Magic Kingdom back when it was set to close at 7PM and the park NOW closes at 6PM…they aren’t going to be able to use that reservation! Garden Grill Restaurant According to a Disney Cast Member we spoke with, they will be reaching out individually to guests whose dining reservations are affected by these changes. However, Disney will possibly provide an auto-cancellation date for dining reservations, if Cast Members are unable to reach guests in time. At this time, they were unsure if or when that would happen. Le Cellier in Walt Disney World’s EPCOT If you happen to have a dining reservation that’s affected by the new park hours, Disney recommends that guests go online to modify them. However, if guests aren’t aware of the changes, Disney should take care of any affected reservations without action from the guest, but that could mean you’re out a reservation and will need to make alternate plans. Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom As Disney starts to reach out to guests, we’ll keep you updated about other changes that will be coming to the parks with the new limited hours in Disney World!

Although we’ve been glad to see Mickey, Minnie, and the whole gang back in Disney World, we’ve been having a great time posing with Baby Yoda in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge too! Photopass Spot We’ve been seeing all sorts of Star Wars goodies since we’ve like the talking Baby Yoda Toy, shoulder plush (who we think has been a GREAT co-co-pilot with us on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, might we add ), and cozy a spirit jersey. But, your Baby Yoda obsession doesn’t have to stop there! While we’ve previously seen the Baby Yoda Funko POP! make its way to Target and shopDisney… ©Disney …the adorable figurine has popped into Disney Springs now too! While one of our readers @thedisneygirlie was in the World of Disney, she spotted Baby Yoda looking like his cute self as he used the Force (probably to conjure up some frogs). Photo Credit: @thedisneygirlie And, we have the PERFECT spot for him on our shelf next to all our other Star Wars figurines! Although season 2 of The Mandalorian is coming just around the corner in October, all the Baby Yoda merchandise in Disney World is definitely holding us over until then!

It looks like guests will have to wait at least a few more months for their next ride around Tomorrowland on the PeopleMover. Closed PeopleMover When Magic Kingdom reopened to guests in July, we noticed that the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover was not running. While there were signs outside of the attraction informing guests of the temporary closure, Disney did not announce an expected reopening timeframe. But as of this morning, the Disney World refurbishment calendar has been updated to indicate an extended closure of the attraction. On the calendar, the PeopleMover is listed as “closed for refurbishment” from now through October 31st. Magic Kingdom Refurbishment Calendar for the Date of October 31st Currently, the PeopleMover is no longer listed on the refurbishment calendar starting on November 1st, however the attraction availability is subject to change. Magic Kingdom Refurbishment Calendar for the Date of November 1st While Disney hasn’t announced specific details regarding the reason for the closure, the PeopleMover was unexpectedly shut down back in March, in the days leading up to the park closure. We’ll keep an eye out for any additional information about the status of this Tomorrowland staple, so stay tuned! Will Magic Kingdom be decorated for Halloween this year? Here’s what we know!

We’ve been finding some pretty unusual items at Disney World lately (like the Forky hairbrush). And did you see these skincare masks we found at EPCOT that will make your face look like a cat or a dog?! Will you be a cat? Will you be a dog? But today we learned an important lesson: strange Disney merchandise isn’t made exclusively for humans. Dogs are now getting some pretty unique items at Disney World too! Case in point: check out the Disney dog socks we spotted at Disney Springs today! Dog Socks We’ve seen Disney food bowls, collars, and toys, but dog SOCKS?! That’s a new one even for well-seasoned shoppers such as ourselves! We guess it kinda makes sense, though! After all, we wouldn’t want our best friend’s tootsies to get cold! Check out this Minnie Mouse-inspired set of dog socks… Dog Socks …which includes FOUR socks instead of two (for obvious reasons!). We love how they even have little grip “beans” on the bottom so your poochie won’t go slippin’ and slidin’! Pick ’em up for $14.99! Dog Socks Mickey Mouse-patterned dog socks for $14.99 are available too (and both styles come in a variety of different sizes)! Dog Socks We also spotted the Love Mickey spirit jersey for dogs for $36.99! It coordinates back to the short-sleeved spirit jersey for hoomans we saw released during Pride Month!

When Disney World presented the option of canceling Annual Passes, it left many of Disney World’s biggest fans with a TOUGH decision. And there may be some of you still grappling with the choice. Walt Disney World Annual Passholder The final day to opt into cancellation of the pass is Tuesday, August 11th, and passes will no longer be valid for entry beginning August 12th if you choose to cancel, so time is running out! While we don’t know your exact situation and the decision is ultimately yours, we can do our best to help you weigh the pros and cons as to whether or not you should cancel your Disney World Annual Pass. What are your options? Disney extended the option to Passholders to cancel their current Passes back in mid-June, ahead of the park reopening. At the time, Disney stated that Passholders can choose between receiving an added one-month extension to their Pass (on top of adding back the days lost due to the closure), or they could choose to cancel the pass. We will get into more specifics below. © Disney Keep in mind that, as we said, Disney ALREADY extended Annual Passes based on the number of days the parks were closed. So, for example, if your Florida Resident Disney Weekday Select Annual Pass’ original expiration date was August 1, it will now expire on November 26, 117 days after the original date, plus the additional month, if you choose to keep your pass (so your pass would be valid until the end of December). All Annual Passholders who choose to take the one-month extension (instead of canceling) will see the change processed and reflected on their Pass sometime in October 2020. MMRR Annual Passholder MagicBand Now, there are some slightly different factors to consider depending on if you paid for your Annual Pass in full, or if you are on the monthly payment plan. If you paid in full… If you paid for your Pass in full and decide to cancel, you will receive a partial refund based on the amount of time left on your pass. Remember that the pass will no longer be valid for entry beginning August 12, so you could estimate your partial refund amount based on the time between August 12 and your most up-to-date expiration date. Annual Passholder Sticker If you are on the monthly payment plan… If you are on the monthly payment plan and you choose to cancel, it’ll look a bit different. Disney will waive any payments due on your Pass after August 11, and any payments made between July 11 and August 11 will be refunded. Annual Passholder Chef Minnie Coaster It seems like Disney has already been testing the monthly payment system, as back in July many Annual Passholders on the plan were suddenly charged for the four months’ worth of time the parks were closed. This has since been rectified. Read more about the options Disney World has given to their Annual Passholders here! Does it make sense financially to cancel your pass? Depending on how much time is left on your Annual Pass, you may be faced with a nominal or a rather hefty refund coming your way, should you choose to cancel. For example, if you purchased a Disney Platinum Pass (non-Florida resident) in full at the current 2020 price of $1195.00, and your pass does not expire for another nine months, you’d receive a refund of $896.25. Passholder Entrance sign If you’re a Florida resident and purchased a Silver Annual Pass last year in full for $519.00 (before the price increase), and your pass expires in four months, you will receive a refund of $173.00. That’s still a decent chunk of change! Annual Passholder 2020 MagicBand Should you choose to cancel your pass that you paid for in full, Disney has stated that Passholders will receive their refunds on their original form of payment in mid to late September. Epcot Entrance If you were on the monthly payment plan, it’s a little easier to do the math to calculate how much money you will save. You would simply multiply your monthly payment amount times the number of months left on your pass, and you will have the total amount that will be waived after August 11. Have you already canceled your Pass or are considering canceling? Click here to see when and how you can expect your refund to appear! Will the Park Pass System work FOR or AGAINST you? The Park Pass Reservation System is one tricky little program and one that has caused some serious strife for Annual Passholders since its rollout. Annual Passholder Availability Before July 14. Much of August was already filled up. Park Pass Reservation availability has filled up MUCH faster for Annual Passholders than for any other Guest type. The trouble here is that local Annual Passholders or those who can more easily take a last-minute trip to Disney World can no longer simply say “I want to visit the parks this weekend.” In most cases, you may not be able to get a reservation until sometime over a month later (especially if you want to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios). So, one could justifiably say “what’s the point of being a Passholder?” if you can no longer spontaneously visit the parks whenever you please. Crowds trying to enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios The Park Pass System specifically seems to be working AGAINST local Passholders who do not need hotel accommodations. This is because a Passholder with a hotel reservation can simply book a Park Pass Reservation as a Resort Guest, which has significantly more reservation availability. ©Screenshot From Disney Park Pass It looks like Disney is periodically adding more Park Pass availability to Passholders, but we would not count on that as a guarantee if the date you want to visit is full. This suspicion seemed to be confirmed by Disney CEO Bob Chapek, who during the most recent Quarterly Earnings Call noted that unclaimed reservations were being given to local Passholders at the last minute. Cinderella Castle Because of the overall lower availability for Annual Passholders, you will need to plan your trips to Disney World much farther ahead of time than you’re used to. The spontaneity of using your Pass isn’t what it used to be, especially if you live nearby and are more used to last-minute trips to the parks. Read more about what we’ve learned about Disney World’s current Guest percentages since reopening here! And then there are all the OTHER things to consider! Deciding whether or not to cancel your Disney World Annual Pass is a much bigger decision than how much money you’ll be refunded, and even bigger than the new Park Pass Reservation System. Beyond the objective variables that include financial implications and reservations, there are a ton of other factors to consider that only YOU can place a value on. Princess Promenade in EPCOT For example, how safe do YOU feel going to Disney World right now? Are the parks going to be enjoyable for you and your family, regardless of how much money you’ll save or how easy it is to get a Park Pass Reservation? After crunching the numbers and mastering the Reservation System, if you don’t feel safe, you may not enjoy your time at Disney World until things start to resemble some level of “normalcy.” Health and Safety Signage From what we have seen and experienced ourselves, Disney World is doing quite a bit to make sure the Guest experience is safe in these unprecedented times. One of the most noticeable health measures is their face mask policy. While this may add a level of security for many Guests, others may feel like the masks diminish their overall experience at the parks. Tie-dye Mickey Face Mask There are also all of the reduced offerings to consider. If your Disney World vacations are all about meeting the characters and watching the fireworks every night, you’ll be out of luck for a while. Casey’s Corner is Still Closed To give you a QUICK recap, Disney World has temporarily suspended fireworks, parades, character meet and greets, traditional character dining (with the modified exceptions of Topolino’s Terrance and Garden Grill), as well as the Disney Dining Plan, FastPass+, and Park Hopping. At this time, we do not know when Disney will bring these back. Mickey and Pluto! Despite these cons, there are also a couple of significant pros to consider. It’s important to point out that for the most part, thanks to the limited park capacity, the crowd levels at the theme parks right now are DRASTICALLY lower than what they are typically. Most attractions are walk-ons, and there is more elbow room in the parks than we’ve seen in YEARS. There are definitely some things we like BETTER now than we did before the closures. Where’d Everybody Go? If you think it may be worth it to hang onto your Annual Pass, keep in mind that you’ll also get that renewal discount when it comes time to re-up your Pass. The savings here aren’t significant, but it’s certainly something to consider if you foresee wanting to have that pass in 2021 and beyond. Is Disney World safe to visit right now? Read our thoughts here! So, what do WE think you should do with your Annual Pass? Ultimately we cannot tell YOU what decision to make with your Annual Pass, but being an Annual Passholder at Disney World is a whole different ball game than what it was before the closures. While there are some hidden benefits to visiting the parks now (low crowds being the big one), just getting TO the parks and enjoying your time there can be a burdensome experience. Disney World The factors that you considered when you originally signed up for your pass may not be the same factors you have now when deciding whether or not to keep your pass.

We found something in Disney Springs that we think Indiana Jones fans will love — and no, it’s not the Holy Grail! World of Disney For tons of fun Indiana Jones Easter eggs and references, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is typically our go-to in Disney Springs.

Indiana Jones Baseball Cap The hat features the iconic “snakes” quote from Raiders of the Lost Ark, when Indy finds himself face-to-face with hundreds of his not-so-favorite animal!

Cupcake lovers rejoice!! The inside of Sprinkles is now open! Sprinkles Cupcake We’ve been getting some delicious favorites and even some limited time cupcakes, from the Sprinkles ATM for a while now, but we haven’t been able to visit the inside of their store in Disney Springs since it reopened back on May 29th — until now!

Ah, Sprinkles — and the joy of knowing you’re about to throw your diet out the window and eat happiness in the form of an incredibly delicious cupcake! Sprinkles Entrance As we got closer to the entrance, we noticed a sign giving us some friendly reminders about Sprinkles’ safety and payment policies. Masks and social distancing are required, and only debit and credit cards are accepted. No cash (said a la Edna Mode’s “no capes”). Sprinkles Payment Sign Inside, we got a look at the menu. Sprinkles Menu Red Velvet, Salty Caramel, Sprinkle… there are so many options to choose from! Sprinkles Menu There were plastic barriers in the line for guest safety and social distancing markers indicating where we should stand. Sprinkles Inside We noticed signs about Sprinkles’ mobile app that we could use to make delivery and pickup orders. Cupcake delivery is an extremely dangerous option… we can feel the sugar rush coming! Sprinkles One of the biggest changes we noticed, however, was the addition of the all-new invisible cupcake! Just kidding! The cupcake display is currently empty but of course, you can admire your beautiful cupcake once you’ve purchased it. We did find out that the seasonal cupcake offering at the moment is the Cookie Cupcake! YUM! Sprinkles Cupcakes Display The patio seating area in the back is also still closed and blocked off, so you’ll have to take your cupcakes elsewhere in Disney Springs to enjoy them. Sprinkles Outdoor Seating Area So now guests have one more option for how to snag some delicious cupcakes on their visit to Disney Springs. Whether you order inside, through the app, or at the cupcake ATM, we hope you have an absolutely delicious time!

Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom offically reopened on July 11th, while Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT welcomed back guests on July 15th. Spaceship Earth From policy changes, to menu additions, to new merchandise, we’ve seen a TON of changes in the Disney World parks since they have reopened! And it looks like the park hours will undergo a change in the near future as well! All four theme parks will observe shortened hours beginning September 8th. Starting on September 8th, the park hours for Magic Kingdom will be 9AM-6PM, reduced from the previous hours of 9AM-7PM. September 2020 Park Hours for Magic Kingdom from the Disney World Website The park hours for EPCOT will be 11AM-7PM, reduced from the previous hours of 11AM-9PM. The Disney World park hours calendar hasn’t yet reflected this change, but it has updated on the Disney Park Pass site. September 8th 2020 Park Hours for EPCOT from the Disney Park Pass Website The park hours for Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be 10AM-7PM, reduced from the previous hours of 10AM-8PM. September 2020 Park Hours for Hollywood Studios from the Disney World Website The park hours for Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be 8AM-5PM, reduced from the previous hours of 8AM-6PM. While these are the hours listed on the park hours site, the Disney Park Pass site lists the opening time for Animal Kingdom as 9AM starting on September 8th. This is super confusing, especially for those planning to get to the park when it opens. Therefore we will update you once the morning time is the same on both parts of the site. September 2020 Park Hours for Animal Kingdom from the Disney World Website As with the other updates to Disney World procedures, this is subject to change based on how the situation in the parks evolves. We’ll keep an eye out for any additional updates, so be sure to stay tuned! Here’s a BIG piece of NEW Disney World planning advice you’re not thinking about!

Over a month ago, we told you about a court ruling that could save Disney and potentially other Florida resort operators millions in real property taxes. Beach Club Resort Now, the court has withdrawn its previous order and issued a new, revised opinion. We’ve got all the details on what this new ruling may mean for Disney and others! In 2015, Rick Singh, as the property appraiser of Orange County increased the tax assessment of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and Disney’s Beach Club Resort by 118%! This resulted in a tremendous increase in property taxes due on these resorts. Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Disney challenged that assessment and on some of its other properties as well. Previously, the appeals court entered an order finding that the assessment process Singh used to appraise Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts was illegal under Florida law. Now, the Court issued a new opinion and softened its position. Yacht Club Resort Instead of declaring that the appraisal method itself is “illegal,” the Court has noted that the manner in which Singh applied the appraisal method included certain values as part of the assessment that should not have been included. Yacht and Beach Clubs’ Stormalong Bay Cabana Construction The appeals court also found that the record didn’t contain competent substantial evidence from which the lower court could make an assessment of the property. Therefore, the matter must actually be sent back to the Orange County Property Appraiser so they can conduct a reassessment of the property consistent with the Court’s latest opinion. Disney’s Beach Club Resort What does this mean for the future? It means Disney and other hotel operators don’t have as easy a path toward tax savings as they thought. And, instead of getting a firm ruling from the Court that resolves all of their disputes about the valuation of these hotels, the Property Appraiser will need to reassess the property — which, of course, must be in compliance with the Court’s current rulings. Disney’s Beach Club Resort According to the Orlando Sentinel, Singh is pleased with the new order as it gives his office the chance to return to their work in determining an accurate assessment of the value of the resorts. One attorney noted that the new ruling is not as powerful as the initial one, but still sends a signal to those using the same method Singh used for his appraisal of these resorts that the method will be highly scrutinized. So, it wasn’t exactly the slam dunk Disney got before. It will be interesting to see how this order affects the other cases Disney has pending on various other properties’ assessed values. We’ll keep an eye out what happens with Singh’s reassessment of the property and see what action Disney takes from there! Click here to check out the ultimate Disney World reopening video playlist!

While Downtown Disney in Disneyland has begun a phased reopening, the Disneyland parks are still closed. Disneyland Main Entrance Disney had initially planned to reopen Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure on July 17th, but they later delayed the reopening pending theme park guidelines from the state of California.

Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels can give you on-property benefits with great savings. © Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Disney Springs Resort Area Many of the Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels also contained small in-resort stores that sold a variety of Disney merchandise items as well as Disney park tickets. Now, we’ve got some updates about whether you’ll be able to visit these Disney stores during your next stay in one of these hotels. Recently, we were able to speak with a representative from the B Resort and Spa who said that their in-resort Disney store is permanently closed and, in fact, has been closed since January of this year. ©B Resort and Spa The representative indicated that she believed the store was closed because the hotel is so close to Disney Springs. It seems guests would rather do their shopping at the many stores in the Springs rather than the smaller store within the resort. We were also able to speak with someone over at the Holiday Inn Orlando Disney Springs. The individual who we spoke to there said their in-resort Disney store is also closed, although he was unsure of how “permanent” the closure is. ©Holiday Inn But he did mention that Disney has already been removing a lot of items from the store, including the shelving. While we can’t say for certain, the removal of store shelving seems to indicate a fairly permanent closure to us. The representative from the Holiday Inn Orlando also noted that he knew Disney had been closing a lot of Disney Store locations outside of the resort. We’ll keep checking on the status of these, but it seems like select Disney stores within the Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels may be a thing of the past. At least we’ve got LOTS of options at Disney Springs to keep us (and our wallets) very busy!

Can you believe Disney Springs has been reopened now for a few months!? Since the shopping and dining district first welcomed guests back on May 20, additional locations have reopened along the way. Mac and Origins are BOTH open! As of today, two more shops have opened. Just when we thought our wallets were safe, both MAC and Origins opened their doors to shoppers! Our first stop was MAC Cosmetics! Currently, they are only allowing five guests in at a time, and the sampling of products, including makeup applications and testing, are currently unavailable. Welcome back to MAC! While it may be tricky to pick out makeup products without being able to sample them, their staff are on-hand to answer any questions you may have. MAC Cosmetics We certainly had a successful shopping trip to MAC! MAC Cosmetics After MAC, we hopped into Origins to see what new measurements they had in place. Origins Those floor markers we’ve all come to know and love are present, keeping shoppers six feet apart. Hand sanitizer was also readily available throughout the store. Origins Much like MAC, certain parts of the shopping experience needed to be altered to fit current health and safety regulations. That meant that their handwashing sink was currently unavailable to use. Origins So, stop by MAC and Origins the next time you’re in Disney Springs and pamper yourself! Whether you’re shopping for skincare, makeup, or both, Disney Springs has got you covered. We’re keeping up with another upcoming opening at Disney Springs that is sure to satisfy our sweet tooth!
