House of Blues was rockin’ and rollin’ again in Disney Springs!
House of Blues in Disney Springs
House of Blues officially reopened June 3rd, so we trekked over to the West Side of Disney Springs to grab a bite!
This past week has been a foodie trip around the reopened Disney Vacation Club Resorts! Since several DVC Resorts reopened last Monday, we have been checking out some popular food spots like Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa to see what’s new and what’s the same old, same old!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Today, we’re sharing our experience at Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! Are the waiters just as sassy as ever? Will we get ten bottles of ketchup!? Keep reading to find out!
Hey all you party people, it’s time to book your Disney World theme park dining reservations! …Unless you’re not one of a special group of guests who had dining reservations canceled during a specific set of dates. Confused? Us too. So let’s dig deeper.
Le Cellier in EPCOT
Yesterday, Disney announced that theme park dining reservations for Disney World’s park opening dates and beyond would open this morning to “eligible guests with dining reservations cancelled during the closure.”
While Disney World first announced Topolino’s Terrace would be the ONLY character meal guests would be able to enjoy during its phased reopening, it looks like ANOTHER character dining experience will be returning when the parks reopen.
Hi Mickey!
Garden Grill Restaurant located at Epcot’s Land Pavilion will ALSO be offering character dining starting July 15th!
It’s time to get out your eating pants!
Hush Puppy Benedict
Disney Springs has been slowly but surely reopening and that means we’ve gotten the chance to return to some of our favorite dining spots. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ reopened just last week and we were SO excited to check out the take-home moonshine and get an interview with Chef Art. Now, we’ve got even MORE Homecomin’ news — Rise and Shine Brunch is coming BACK!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
World of Disney
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, and construction updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
City Works Eatery and Pour House has re-opened in Disney Springs (with TWO spicy dishes!).
City Works
While the restaurant has already rolled out a To-Go Window so you can grab a beer or cocktail before exploring Disney Springs, there was another new addition to the restaurant today!
Oh, Disney World restaurants — how we miss you!
Garden Grill Restaurant
While you know our affinity for spots like Wine Bar George (thank goodness the flaming cheese is back) and Garden Grill, there are a few restaurants around the parks we are missing more than we thought we would!
In light of recent events, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has announced a statewide ban of on-premises alcohol consumption at bars, effective immediately.
Disney Springs
Since we’re currently at Disney Springs, we’ve been able to speak with a few Cast Members to see what implications this order has on Disney World.
Update: ON June 26th, Due to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation banning the consumption of alcohol at bars, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar was closed. However, the location was able to reopen on July 6th.
Since Disney Springs began its phased reopening back in May, we’ve been eating our way around the newly reopened restaurants. And Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar has now joined the list of locations that have welcomed back guests!
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar
We’ve already had the chance to check out fan-favorite spots like Morimoto Asia, The Polite Pig, The Boathouse, and more. And with awesome theming, fun specialty drinks, and inventive appetizers, we were eager to see how Jock Lindsey’s stacks up!
