Experienced parents will tell you — it’s hard to find a good baby bag! Either they’re difficult to keep organized or they’re hard to clean (and most of them aren’t very pretty).

Enter the newest product from Petunia Pickle Bottom and shopDisney: the Cinderella District Backpack!

With easy-to-clean faux leather, this backpack can either be worn or attached to a stroller. There are two pockets to keep parents organized, and it comes with a removable bottle roller, changing pad, and packing pixel. All materials are wipeable for maximum ease!

If all of its included conveniences aren’t enough, check out the super-cute, limited-edition Cinderella print!

Here’s some important info for guests with an upcoming reservation at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort!

Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom preparing to reopen on July 11th, followed by Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th. But even though the parks are getting ready to welcome back guests, the Swan and Dolphin Resort will remain closed, and will relocate guests with existing reservations!

One of the great benefits of staying at the Swan and Dolphin Resort is the close proximity to the Disney parks — especially Epcot and Hollywood Studios! But if you had plans to stay at this resort in the near future, you might be in for a shake-up.

Earlier this month, a member of our team received an email with information regarding the restrictions being implemented both in the Disney parks and the hotel. The email asked guests to call or email the hotel to confirm their reservation.

Today, we received another email stating that the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort will be closed to the general public until July 29th, 2020. 

As a substitute for the room at the Swan and Dolphin, we were offered reservations at the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort and Spa at the same rate, dates, and room type. We were asked to call to confirm the reservation at the new location.

The Swan and Dolphin Resort is currently accepting reservations for July 29th and beyond.

So, if you have an upcoming stay at the Swan and Dolphin resort, be sure to check your email regarding alternate arrangements!

Calling all tequila fans! Disney Springs’ Frontera Cocina Mexicana is celebrating it’s 4 year anniversary with a new special menu including a margarita that will surely add some sparkle to your summer evenings!

Life is the bubbles with the NEW Champagne Margarita made with Teremana Respado tequila, a hit of freshly squeezed lime, orange liqueur, and topped with a refreshing splash of champagne.

Rounding out at $12, the new drink doesn’t taste much different from a classic margarita. BUT, the light taste of lime and orange liqueur still hits the spot! It’s a great choice when Orlando hits 99 degrees in the dead of summer!

As for taste, the champagne and lime are very prominent. We were surprised by how much champagne we picked up! It was honestly quite refreshing!

The Champagne Margarita is just one choice you can get for Frontera’s 4th Anniversary! We think this crisp marg will go nicely with a side of the Mango Guacamole & Chips. Is there anything better than guac, margaritas, and sunshine?

Oh, and we forgot the best part! Frontera has an Online Ordering! This means you can take some tacos home with you on your way out of Disney Springs!

Check out our latest review of reopened Frontera Cocina!

Many stores have adjusted the way they are distributing food and merchandise since Disney Springs re-opened a few months ago. This is due to the safety protocols that have been implemented for all of Disney property.

In an effort to enhance social distancing procedures, Kipling announced they are starting curbside pick-up for all of their store items. This will allow guests to pick up their desired purchases quickly. Let’s walk you through the process!

To make a purchase with Kipling, all you have to do is call ahead at (407) 560-0828. You’ll talk to a Sales Associate and they will set up an appointment to walk you through the store on a video call via Zoom. Or, you can send them a wish list via email and they will check what’s in stock.

Then, you’ll venture to Disney Springs where you will meet the Sales Person at a designated area. The meeting place is up to you, but it’s probably best you meet outside of the store. Another good meeting place at the fountain in front of the Lime Parking Garage escalator. (That way you can get in and out quickly!)

Then you’ll pay the associate via debit or credit on their mobile device. You get in, you get out. Boom, you’re done!

Small adjustments like this are decided by each store. Overall, most restaurants are offering limited menus and every location is implementing social distancing guidelines. We will be sure to keep you updated as more purchasing options become available for guests.

How do you feel about the option for merchandise pick-up at Kipling? Should Disney add this option for other stores on property?
