This Disney Springs Restaurant Is Surprisingly CLOSED Today

We’ve been hanging out in the reopened Disney Springs a LOT.

Wolfgang Puck

Can you blame us? It’s nice to see some of our favorite Disney restaurants getting back into the swing of things. But wait, it looks like one of our favorite spots inexplicably didn’t open today. Check out which Disney Springs restaurant is surprisingly CLOSED today!

We swung by Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill and the accompanying Wolfgang Puck Express today to see how things are going since the spots reopened. To our surprise, the entire Wolfgang Puck location was CLOSED!

Wolfgang Puck Closed

We’re not sure why this location hasn’t opened today and there wasn’t anyone around for us to ask. Oddly enough, the hours are still listed as closing at 8PM on the restaurant’s website and on social media.

While information online does not reflect the closure, we noticed that a sign had been put in the window noting updated hours! Looks like Wolfgang Puck will remain closed on Mondays and Tuesdays for now. The location will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 12PM to 6PM.

We’re not sure what brought about this change but maybe we’ll find out more in the coming days. It is important to note that Planet Hollywood closed unexpectedly last week as well. In the meantime, if you were hoping to eat at Wolfgang Puck — don’t head to Disney Springs on a Monday or Tuesday!

A BIG Update Points to a Potential Mid-July Reopening for Disneyland

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Disneyland website looking for any evidence regarding when California’s Disney theme parks could be reopening!

Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland

And it just so happens we noticed an indicator today that Disneyland could potentially be reopening in July!

Now that Disney World will begin a phased reopening starting July 11th, we’re anxiously awaiting the same news regarding Disneyland! So far, Disneyland hasn’t made an official announcement regarding its reopening date, so we can’t confirm anything quite yet BUT we did notice Disneyland is now selling park tickets starting July 16th!

And if you’re a Disneyland devotee, you’ll know July 17th is the 65th anniversary of Walt’s original theme park. Could Disneyland be gearing up to reopen in time for a BIG celebration?!? It’s possible, especially because theme parks in California are technically allowed to reopen in Phase 3 (which could begin as early as this month).

It’s also important to note that the Disneyland website still states that reservations are available beginning July 15th.

We recently shared that thousands of Disney World Cast Members were being called back to work to begin training on Disney’s new health and safety procedures. The same will need to be Disneyland’s Cast Members, which to our knowledge hasn’t happened yet. That doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of time to get it all done, though!

We’ll be keeping a watchful eye on Disneyland — but for now, you might want to snag some park tickets and hope for the best!

Read MORE about when Disney World Cast Members will return to work here! 

Keep in mind, we don’t know if Disneyland will also implement a new reservation system like Disney World to limit the number of guests who may visit each day. We’ll provide you with more information as soon as it’s released!

Check out a few more indicators that point to Disneyland potentially opening in July here!

Review: Is Chicken Guy! at Disney Springs As Good As We Remember?!

Ever since Disney Springs reopened on May 20, we’ve been eating our way around Walt Disney World‘s shopping district.

Disney Springs

There are a lot of GREAT places around Disney Springs to get a quick, budget-friendly, and super satisfying bite to eat. In the past few weeks, we’ve eaten at Cookes of Dublin, D-Luxe Burger, Morimoto Asia Street Food, and tons of other spots. And recently, we got to grab a lil lunch at one of Disney Springs’ most POPULAR quick service spots!

Oh yeah, baby!! We’re talking about Chicken Guy!!

Atmosphere

Like other spots around Disney Springs, Chicken Guy! has implemented new health and safety measures upon reopening. When we ate there on opening day, we noticed markers indicating where guests could stand out front. Look at those little chicken feet!!

Chicken Guy!

In addition to a limited number of customers allowed inside at one time, there are also plexiglass shields at each cash register and in front of where the food is made, and single-use paper menus.

Chicken Guy!

And if you’re a refill fan, know the self-serve beverage machine is manned by a server.

Getting your food to go? Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about eating outside of restaurants at Disney Springs.

Eats

For our quick meal, we chose to get the Big Bite B.L.A.T. For $6.99, you get two chicken tenders, bacon, lettuce, avocado crema, tomatoes, and buttermilk ranch on a bun.

The Big Bite B.L.A.T. at Chicken Guy!

This sandwich is loaded but sooooo darn good. And it’s huge, especially for the price! The bacon is crispy but not too crispy and perfectly smoked. The chicken tenders have a golden crispy coating, but the meat itself is moist, which is a pretty ideal situation.

To go with our chicken sandwich, we got Chicken Guy Fries and American Slaw, each of which cost $2.99.

The star side was the American Slaw. Mayo fans may be disappointed, but we found there wasn’t too much dressing on the slaw, making it taste fresh and crispy.

Check out our first dining experience after Chicken Guy! reopened here!

Nosh or Not

Cluck on over to Chicken Guy if:

  • You’re looking for a budget-friendly and FILLING meal.
  • You love chicken tendies! ? And SAUCE!
  • You want to grab a bite to eat quickly in the middle of a busy shopping day at Disney Springs!

Flock elsewhere if:

  • You want a dedicated indoor dining experience. Chicken Guy! doesn’t have much indoor seating atm, though they’re supposed to be working on that!
  • You want a more refined, formal dining experience.
  • You’re not a fan of chicken.

Overall

We’ve been BIG fans of Chicken Guy! since day one, and it’s one of the more affordable dining options at Disney Springs, especially when you consider the size of the portions. Upon Disney Springs’ reopening, we’re pleased that this quick service spot is still as solid as ever. It’s a good option for big families with picky eaters and the adventurous eater who wants to experiment with the 22 different sauces!

Is Chicken Guy! one of your go-to dining destinations at Disney Springs? Let us know what you order in the comments!

Retro Neon Splatter and Classic Rainbow Tie-Dye Spirit Jerseys Make a Colorful Impression in Disney Springs!

Welcome back to the World of Disney in Disney Springs! We’ve become quite accustomed to seeing LOTS of COLOR here recently with the debut of the latest Disney Rainbow Collection just last week.

Mickey Plush at World of Disney

And today, our eyes were greeted with even more spirited shades as we took a closer look at the multi-hued Spirit Jerseys in the house!

The options currently available feature a classic Tie-Dye and a retro Neon Splatter design.

Neon Splatter Spirit Jersey

Brighter shades adorn the Neon Splatter Spirit Jersey with “Walt Disney World” emblazoned on the back in more glittery rainbow tones. (By the way, you can also find this one on shopDisney!)

Neon Splatter Spirit Jersey

Somewhat softer — but still vivid — shades of yellow, baby blue, and bright pink color every inch of the classic Tie-Dye Spirit Jersey with the Walt Disney World “Est. 1971” logo in a contrasting purple.

Rainbow Tie-Dye Spirit Jersey

And, of course, it’s that same purple that helps you proclaim your love of Walt Disney World across the back!

Rainbow Tie-Dye Spirit Jersey

(You may recall spotting this one on shopDisney, too, as well as the Pastel Tie-Dye Spirit Jerseys from this spring.) And if you STILL can’t get enough Tie-Dye…

See all the newest in Summer Tie-Dye fun at World of Disney here!

Walt Disney World Spirit Jerseys are $69.99, and you can currently find these at World of Disney. But this certainly isn’t our only stop in Disney Springs today… we’ll have more finds throughout the day, and we hope you’ll stay tuned with us!

So, are you more retro-neon or traditional tie-dye when it comes to your Disney color style? Please let us know with a comment!

News! Hollywood Film Production Can Resume on June 12th

The global health crisis has caused a “pause” in many industries, especially in entertainment.

The Eternals

When we consider how many people tend to crowd onto a film set, it’s no surprise that the film industry has been hit pretty hard by the cancellations. Now, it seems that productions may be able to pick up again. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that TV and film production can begin again on June 12th, marking the official return of Hollywood.

The California Department of Public Health and the Governor’s Office made a statement that June 12th should be the earliest date for the return of film production, subject to approval from local county public health officers.

The statement notes that “production, cast, crew, and other industry workers should abide by safety protocols agreed by labor and management, which may be further enhanced by public health officers. Back office staff and management should adhere to Office Workspace guidelines published by the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Industrial Relations.”

Hollywood’s return is set to change the industry up to keep actors and workers safe. Several health measures have been discussed including closed sets, sanitation practices, and more. We’ll keep you informed on the return of Disney film production and what sort of health measures they put in place.
