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’re reporting to you live from Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort today for this first time since mid-March.
Line Outside T-REX
That’s because while the rest of Disney World’s theme parks and hotels will remain closed until further notice, some third-party restaurants and retailers have started reopening today.
Disney Springs is planning to start Disney World’s phased re-opening tomorrow, May 20th.
Chicken Guy!
We’ve been keeping you updated with all of the restaurants that plan to re-open tomorrow, but Earl of Sandwich, Chicken Guy!, and Planet Hollywood just released more information on how they plan to protect guests at the re-opening.
Recently, we shared with you over 50 Disney World upgrades that cost less than $50 and that got us thinking…
Disney World
…what about some upgrades you can find for even CHEAPER?
It’s true, there are a lot of absolutely wonderful restaurants in the Disney World theme parks.
Main Dining Room at Victoria & Albert’s
But what if we told you there were some equally wonderful meals (perhaps even MORE wonderful!) OUTSIDE of the parks? That’s right, today we’re taking a look at some of the BEST meals in Disney World that you won’t find in the parks.
As Disney Springs gets ready to begin its gradual reopening next week, we’ve just confirmed another restaurant will be reopening soon.
Planet Hollywood
We’re adding Planet Hollywood to our list of Disney Springs restaurants that will be reopening on May 20th.
Disney World recently announced they would begin a phased reopening of select stores and restaurants in Disney Springs on May 20th. As we learn more about what offerings will be available to guests, we’re also starting to learn more about the health measurements that will be in place.
Chicken Guy!
So far, Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Company, The Polite Pig, YeSake, Wine Bar George, and others plan to re-open May 20th, but we just found out about another restaurant to add to our master list.
The global health crisis has caused a major disruption to many types of businesses and the restaurant industry has taken a significant hit.
The Edison Complex in Disney Springs
We’ve been wondering what the future of restaurants will look like at Disney resorts. We’ve seen some spots make notable staffing cuts and the Re-Open Florida Task Force has been working hard to outline guidelines for the reopening of dining. Today, two big wigs behind some of Disney World’s and Disneyland’s restaurants offered up some insight into their businesses’ current situations.
The DFB Counter-Service Throw Down has been one crazy ride so far! We’ve already seen some AMAZING restaurants come and go in the first, second, and third rounds. And, the next round forced us to say goodbye to one of our favorite spots in Disney World (we may have shed a few tears).
