You know what’s underrated in Disney World? Disney Springs!
Disney Springs!
People tend to focus so much on the parks that they forget all about Disney’s shopping and dining complex — even though it’s full of fun things to do, delicious food, and plenty of activities for the whole family. We stopped by Disney Springs today to check out what was going on and we found something surprising…not one, but TWO locations were closed today!
The first of the two spots that were closed is the popular quick service restaurant, Chicken Guy!
Chicken Guy was blocked off!
This place is usually quite busy with guests wanting to get their chicken tender fix (with 22 different sauces), but when we walked by today it was completely empty. In fact, there was a giant hedge wall in front of the building!
The hedges wrapped around the building.
The sign posted outside said that the restaurant was closed for a private event.
Guess we’ll have to come back later!
And when we headed across the street to the Coca-Cola store, we got a view of the event from the rooftop bar. Celebrity chef and owner of Chicken Guy, Guy Fieri, was there!
Look, it’s Guy Fieri!
We definitely understand why they closed the restaurant for this…there was already a crowd of people gathered on the other side of the hedge wall trying to sneak a peek.
Another celebrity sighting!
We’ll be keeping an eye on this restaurant for more details on the reopening. Hours are showing again for this Friday online.
We’re already missing those chicken tenders!
We also noticed today that the M&M Store on the West Side of Disney Springs was closed.
Well, that’s weird.
A sign posted on the main entrance said that the shop was closed, but it didn’t give any additional details. There were no Cast Members around to ask for details.
They even had it roped off!
We took a peek inside, and things look pretty regular. Guess we’ll have to wait to get more info on this one!
It’s just an empty store.
We’ll be looking out for more details on these closures, and we’ll be checking out the rest of the news in Disney Springs, so stay tuned to DFB!

There was a contest awhile back where the winner would receive a Chicken Guy franchise . Maybe the winner was there to receive his / her prize from Guy.
The chicken guy I never got to go . This is a shame and M& M store . High rent right now it is not a good time to have a business in Disney Springs . Hopefully thing will get better for all business to over come and stay open .
