food IS a theme park
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!
Now that Disney World is planning on reopening some of its hotels as early as next month while its theme parks will be opening later in July, we have SO MANY questions!

And while we already know Disney World Resort will be requiring guests and Cast Members to wear face masks at all times except when dining, will we have to wear one at the pool?
Now that World of Disney and several businesses have reopened at Disney Springs, Sprinkles has just confirmed they’ll be reopening on Friday, May 29th.

But there are a few things you’ll need to know before you check ’em out tomorrow!
UPDATE: As of 3:20PM, our FastPasses reservations have returned to My Disney Experience. At this time we are still unable to make new FastPasses and we cannot currently modify our existing FastPasses.
Disney World proposed their reopening plan yesterday and since then they’ve been working out the details.
Magic Kingdom
Disney is set to introduce a new reservation system for their theme parks and right now, they are no longer accepting new reservations. Yesterday we even spotted that Advance Dining Reservations were unavailable. Well today, something a little surprising is happening for folks who had FastPasses scheduled for July.
Among the shops now open in Disney Springs as Disney World’s shopping and dining district continues in its phased reopening is The Spice & Tea Exchange in the Marketplace.
The Spice & Tea Exchange
The Spice & Tea Exchange reopened yesterday (as did several other locations including the World of Disney and The Daily Poutine, among many others). If you haven’t checked it out previously, we hope you’ll join us as we step back inside this shop packed with herbs, gourmet spices, and lots of fun finds for the tea connoisseur in your life!

There was another wave of stores that have reopened this week at Disney Springs. We were live yesterday at World of Disney, which drew in huge crowds resulting in wait times of up to six hours to shop!

Today we checked out The LEGO Store, which also opened on May 27. Being a store that was centered around hands-on playing with the Legos, shopping here is pretty different now with the new health and safety measurements in place!
As of yesterday, several Disney-owned locations reopened in Disney Springs.

And while yesterday there was over a three-hour wait to get inside World of Disney, today we walked right in! Let’s take a look around and see what’s in stock at the moment!
Disney proposed a potential reopening date and plan for Disney World yesterday, and it’s a lot to dig into.
Bob Chapek
Yesterday, we heard some comments from Disney CEO Bob Chapek about the reopening and how Disney is looking to welcome guests back responsibly. Today, Chapek spoke with Good Morning America to further lay out the reasoning and expectations behind what a reopening day in Disney World will look like.
Yesterday, Disney shared that they plan to reopen Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom July 11th followed by Hollywood Studios and Epcot on July 15th after the park’s longest closure in history. With this, Disney has made a few BIG changes.
Magic Kingdom
Disney World will implement a new reservation system, they have suspended new resort reservations and ticket sales, and new dining reservations are currently unavailable. And now, Disney has shared that there is one more thing that guests cannot modify or change for the time being.
Disney-owned locations have officially reopened their doors in a newly-reopened Disney Springs!
World of Disney
The first place we wanted to head yesterday was World of Disney so we could get our long-overdue Disney merch fix. But we weren’t the only ones! The line to get into World of Disney yesterday was absolutely CRAZY — they even used a virtual queue! But today, it seems like crowds are a little more manageable today.
