food IS a theme park
You’ve already joined us for many of our Disney Springs stops today if you’ve been following along with our live coverage, and now it’s time to make another one!
Disney Springs
Let’s head off to Chicken Guy! next to see how it compares to our pre-closure visits.
We spent the day exploring a newly reopened Disney Springs and there were some changes to the complex in general.
Frontera Cocina
We were especially interested in what changes there were to dining. We’re not going to lie to you, we had a bunch of lunches today, but we did come back with a lot of knowledge about how third-party Disney Springs restaurants are instituting new health measures. Let’s take a look at what we learned at Frontera Cocina — and what we ATE.

Though the Disney World parks remain closed, we’re getting to experience a taste of all of the new procedures in Disney Springs today. By now, you’ve probably realized a big piece of what that looks like is everybody is now wearing face masks!
We’ve been making our way around Disney Springs for its re-opening today.

As of now, Orlando area theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld Orlando have not announced reopening dates.
