A few weeks ago, we discovered construction walls alongside Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs complete with concept art for an upcoming new spot: Shine Bar & Social.

And though Homecomin’ won’t reopen to guests until this coming Wednesday, June 17th, today we got a glimpse at the spot’s new patio bar, as those construction walls have been removed!

Here’s a peek…

And here’s another!

Wednesday’s highly anticipated reopening of Homecomin’ will include the Grand Opening of Shine Bar & Social. And Chef Art Smith himself will be present for the big day!

We’re looking forward to showing you this new spot (and enjoying some of our current favorites) when Homecomin’ reopens on Wednesday. To whet your appetite, you can check out the temporary menu that will be offered upon the initial reopening. (SPOILER ALERT: there will be TAKE-HOME MOONSHINE available!) And you can also…

In the meantime… keep on SHININ’!

Are you looking forward to visiting the Shine Bar & Social patio? Please let us know with a comment!

Guess What Disney World Transportation Is BACK in the Sky Today!

At the start of the parks’ temporary closure, all of Disney’s Skyliner gondolas were put away for safekeeping.

Disney World

And while we just saw the carousel at Disney Springs’ marketplace spinning along with Cinderella Castle receiving her royal makeover, you won’t believe what else we just saw!

Disney’s Skyliner gondolas have returned to their tracks and they’re on the move once more! Man, we’ve really missed seeing these guys! The wires looked so naked without them!

Disney’s Skyliner

Keep in mind, Disney World hasn’t indicated whether or not Disney’s Skyliner will resume when some of the hotels begin to reopen on June 22nd or when the theme parks reopen July 11th and July 15th.

Disney’s Skyliner

So far we only know details about a few modes of transportation that will be back on track soon including Disney’s Magical Express airport shuttle as well as the buses that transport guests back and forth from the theme parks and resort hotels. Disney has also shared the monorail and ferry boats will be operating, but service will be limited due to reduced capacity.

Disney’s Skyliner

Disney has also confirmed Minnie Vans won’t be operating, so the only thing missing is what’s going to happen with Disney’s Skyliner? We’re eager to hear more information and we’re taking the gondolas being out as a GOOD sign we might find out something soon!

Have you had the chance to ride on Disney’s Skyliner? Let us know if you have in the comments below!

Wanna know where you can get on a ride right now in Walt Disney World?

No, it’s not in any of the four theme parks. (Those won’t start reopening until July 11th.) You’ll actually find it in Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district, Disney Springs…

The Marketplace Carousel is now spinning once again!

You’ll spy a few distancing markers on the ground as you wait in order promote safe distancing between guests.

And Cast Members wipe down the carousel horses after use.

It seems like every day we’ve stopped by World of Disney since it reopened, we’ve spotted something new!

World of Disney

Yesterday, there was an entire display of new Monsters University stuff! And today, well…take a look for yourself!

We gotta warn you guys what we’re about to show you is ridiculously cute! Nobody warned us this morning when we first saw it and we just about fell over laughing!

It’s Stitch!

Look at this hilarious new Stitch Hat! Is it just us, or is this thing totally insane? It’s so funny that we LOVE it. Just look at its nubby little toofers!

Stitch Hat

The new Stitch Hat features an adjustable velcro strap so you can make it fit as snuggly as you want it!

And here’s the back of the adorable lad! It’s so stinkin’ cute from every angle! We had no idea Stitch was so photogenic!

You’ve GOTTA See How Construction Is Progressing on Cinderella Castle in Disney World!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 12, 2020

It’s been a long time since the last time we stood in front of our beloved castle! And we’ll be able to see it again on July 11th when Magic Kingdom reopens!

Cinderella Castle

And as you may recall, Cinderella Castle had just begun to receive her royal makeover shortly before the parks closed. The rosy gold paint job was going up FAST, but due to the temporary closures, all construction projects were put on hold!

But thanks to DFB Reader @bioreconstruct, we can see work on Cinderella Castle has once again resumed! These are ariel photos of how the castle looks TODAY!

Is it just us, or does the royal makeover seem to be happening at lightspeed? Look at all those cherrypickers!

In this shot, you can actually see folks standing in Fantasyland! Could they be training? Maybe!

The rest of the park is ghostly calm and quiet — almost as empty as Magic Kingdom appeared on the first day of Disney World’s closure, but not for very much longer!

Photo Used With Permission By @bioreconstruct

We’re so excited to see this sneak peek of Cinderella Castle and see how gorgeous she’s looking! There’s still a lot of work to be done, but judging by these photos, we’re wondering if Disney World is hoping to welcome us all with a completely-finished castle! Only time will tell!

Are you surprised to see how fast Cinderella Castle’s refurb is happening? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
