In response to recent global events, theaters across the country have closed their doors. AMC Theaters in Disney Springs attempted to limit guest capacity for a short period of time before closing down temporarily.

But now that major film studios have pushed back premiere dates for several of their blockbusters, AMC decided to remain closed until these new films are released. Now — months into the closures — AMC shares the toll the shut downs have taken on their company.

According to ClickOrlando News, AMC Theaters stated their concern for whether they can survive the next couple months financially.

AMC stated in a regulatory filing, “substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.”

AMC is currently one of the largest theater chains in the U.S. but shared that they might not have enough funds readily available if the summer reopening is delayed and might not be able to borrow the funds needed. They also noted their concern for decreased attendance after a reopening but are hopeful that social distancing will be a temporary measure and guests will eventually return to the movies.

The first major Disney film set to premiere is Mulan on July 24th, but AMC in Disney Springs has not announced a specific plan for reopening at this time.

Disney World began a phased reopening with Disney Springs on May 20th and plans to reopen their theme parks beginning July 11th.

Although Disney initially announced that their hotels would reopen alongside the theme parks, they later changed the wording on their website. As of now, only Disney World’s Disney Vacation Club properties and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort are scheduled to reopen on June 22nd.

But now we might have a hint about which resorts and restaurants could be included in the next phase of reopening.

Thanks to Scott Gustin, we found out that Disney has reportedly started calling Cast Members back to work at various food, beverage, and resort locations.

The WDW food and beverage union (737) has shared with members a list of restaurants that are starting to recall Cast Members. According to the union, impacted workers at these locations are being called back to work starting June 14.⁰⁰ (thread) pic.twitter.com/RBhgSa5dO3

The Orlando Hotel and Restaurant Workers Movement is affiliated with the Unite Here Local 737 union, which represents a number of Disney’s hotel and restaurant workers.

The group posted to their Facebook page listing several Disney Resorts and restaurants calling their workers back to potentially start as early as June 14th. These locations include:

• Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
• Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
• Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
• Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
• Disney’s Old Key West Resort
• Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
• Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
• Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

We can almost taste the Sally Sells Seashells, Chocolate Milk and Cookies, and Ooey Gooey Butter Cake just thinking about it! Well we have some great news for you Ample Hills Ice Cream fans!

The Brooklyn-based ice cream shop is once again offering nationwide shipping!

At this time, Ample Hills is unable to send to every state due to shipping changes, so if you’re located in CA, NV, UT, OR, WA, TX, Hawaii, or Alaska, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer before Ample Hills can ship to you.

But if you’re in any other states, order away! You can choose from a 4-Pack of pints for $66 or a 6-Pack for $75. Choose from flavors such as Baked/Unbaked, Nonna D’s Oatmeal Lace, and Fluffernutter Fudge.

PEZ stand clear of the doors!

Before the Disney parks closed in mid-March, we spotted some adorable Monorail candy dispenser displays at Disneyland. And it looks like these cuties are still making the rounds!

Earlier today, we were strolling through World of Disney, when amongst a display of tasty treats, something caught our eye.

Yup, we spotted those adorable Monorail candy dispenser displays!

The display is available in both blue and red — in case you need a little extra room to display all of your Pez dispensers!

Each display can hold up to eight Pez dispensers, so Mickey and the gang can all stick together! You can grab your own mini-Monorail for $14.99.

And if you’re looking for a few more Pez dispensers to fill your Monorail to capacity, we spotted those for sale separately as well for $4.49 each!

Keep an eye out for this cute Monorail display in World of Disney if you want to treat your collection to their own highway in the sky!

The world is still (rightfully) obsessed with Baby Yoda. This little guy has been featured on a TON of merch since his adorable debut in The Mandalorian on Disney+ — and for good reason! He’s stinkin’ CUTE!

Build-A-Bear first released “The Child” plush in April and after a series of sellouts, he is coming back for the FOURTH time!

If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a sweet Baby Yoda plush, you’ll be super happy to know that he will be released once again TOMORROW! Set your alarms because a virtual pre-waiting room will open at 11:30 AM CST and sales start at noon. You can sign up to be on the mailing list to find out when the plushes are restocked here!

These little guys are quick to go and, like past releases, there are limited quantities available. If you join the pre-waiting room, you will be assigned a random spot in line for when the sales goes live at noon and each plush costs $59.75.

Just in case you thought he couldn’t get any cuter, you can also jam out to The Mandalorian theme song by squeezing his little paw (er, hand?)!
