You’ll find Once Upon A Toy in the Disney Springs Marketplace.

This cheerful stop packed with tons of fun finds for the kids (and all of us kids at heart) is now reopen for guests!

Of course, new safety measures are in place in keeping with all the new health protocols now implemented in stores and restaurants throughout Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district.

Once Upon A Toy

Similar to the World of Disney, for instance, cast members keep track of the number of guests inside the store as part of limited capacity measures to allow for physical distancing.

There is hand sanitizer available at the entrance, and plexiglass has been installed at the registers.

Signage in the store provides more reminders to keep at a safe distance.

Still, as always, there are plenty of TOYS to check out, along with nods to our very favorite pals from Toy Story.

And remember, you can also find a few items that were once unique to Pandora — The World of AVATAR in Animal Kingdom, including Banshees from the Banshee Rookery at Windtraders here!

So remember that you can find the Banshees here in advance of the reopening of Animal Kingdom park itself, which will welcome guests again — as will Magic Kingdom — on July 11th. EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will follow on July 15th. And you can read the latest news on the reopening of Walt Disney World by visiting any of the links below.

But for now, it’s SO LONG from all your favorite TOYS at Once Upon A Toy!

Is Once Upon A Toy a must-stop for you in Disney Springs? Please let us know with a comment!

Planet Hollywood Is CLOSED in Disney Springs Today! Find Out When It May Reopen Here!

Ever since Disney Springs reopened on May 20th, more and more restaurants have been opening back up.

Planet Hollywood

But today, we noticed one previously opened establishment was strangely CLOSED!

While strolling around Disney Springs today, we noticed that Planet Hollywood had a sign on its doors reading “Sorry Temporarily Closed.”

Planet Hollywood Temporarily Closed

When we asked a cast member why Planet Hollywood wasn’t operating, we weren’t offered any specifics. However, we did note that Chicken Guy! next door is OPEN!

Chicken Guy!

But it seems as though this table service spot may be closed for some time — the website isn’t posting any hours until June 22nd. And even then, it’s only showing that it will be open from 4pm to 6pm on that day!

Planet Hollywood previously reopened on May 20th during Disney Springs’ initial reopening phase.

While Planet Hollywood seems to be in a holding pattern for some reason right now, be sure that we will keep you UPDATED on any more information about its operating hours.

Read our review of our recent dinner at Planet Hollywood here!

The Art of Shaving Has Reopened at Disney Springs in Disney World. But You Can’t Get a Beard Trim…YET!

If you’re looking to get your beard trim on while shopping at the recently reopened Disney Springs, boy, have we got good news for you!

The Art of Shaving at Disney Springs

Today, another retail shop opened back up…The Art of Shaving! And it’s just in time for Father’s Day!

Like the Lego Store, Sephora, and other reopened shops, The Art of Shaving looks a LITTLE different. To help enforce social distancing, The Art of Shaving is limiting capacity to just four shoppers at a time. And, like the rest of Disney Springs, a face mask is required for entry.

The Art of Shaving Social Distancing policy

Guests are also asked not to touch anything on the store shelves. Instead, a consultant will assist you as you shop.

In case you forgot, The Art of Shaving is the one place you can get a haircut and shave at Disney Springs!

However, The Barber Spa is also NOT taking appointments at this time, though we were told that the store was working on getting this service back up and running! (We’re all starting to look a little shaggy, after all… .) Of course, you know we’ll keep you updated on this service!

NEWS: Florida Governor Announces Most of State Will Move Into Phase Two of Reopening This Friday

Florida has spent the last month in Phase One of Governor Ron DeSantis’s Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step. Plan for Florida’s Recovery.

Palm Trees

And today, Governor Ron DeSantis was present at Universal Orlando Resort which is currently hosting an Annual Passholder preview ahead of its June 5th reopening to the public. It was here that Governor DeSantis made an announcement that most of the state will enter Phase Two this Friday as well.

Within Phase Two (which excludes Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties), the Governor stated that the major changes Floridians will notice include the reopening of bars and movie theaters, along with some additional venues.

The BOATHOUSE Bar in Disney Springs

Bars and pubs will be permitted to operate at 50% capacity inside and at full capacity outdoors for dine-in service. Movie theaters and entertainment venues such as bowling alleys will also be able to open at 50% capacity (and with “appropriate social distancing and sanitation protocols”).

Phase Two will also see the opening of what was referred to as “Pari-mutual facilities,” which host things like slots, racing wagers and cardrooms. They will also be expected to observe strict safety guidelines.

As a reminder, Walt Disney World will begin reopening to guests on July 11th, first by opening Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th, followed by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th. You can read more about the upcoming reopening of the Resort by visiting any of the links below.
