The Baby Yoda craze hasn’t slowed down, and we can’t blame anyone! He’s just too cute!

While one Baby Yoda Plush has disappeared and reappeared in Disney Springs and the Build-a-Bear Baby Yoda Plush keeps selling out online, we’ve been seeing Baby Yoda stuff fly off the shelves quicker than the little green guy can eat a frog!

Buuut, even if you can’t snag the plush from the World of Disney, there are still ways you can “secure the asset” to take home with you.

While many different places have started to release their own versions of the plush, this particular Baby Yoda is actually available at multiple locations for the same $24.99 price tag outside of Disney World.

You can pick up Baby Yoda from places like Amazon, Walmart, and Target online! Plus, there’s even the option to get him in person from the stores that have availability (so you can binge The Mandalorian while you cuddle the Baby Yoda Plush TONIGHT).

Since other stores have LOTS of Baby Yoda items, this is “the way” of grabbing sold-out Baby Yoda stuff if you REALLY want to acquire another bit of Star Wars merchandise. We can never get enough of the sweetest Force user around!!

Take a look at the COOLEST Star Wars Backpack ever here!

We’re just a few short weeks away from being able to explore the big blue World again since Disney World will be re-opening on July 11th and July 15th!

Disney has been giving us the details on everything we can expect when we’re back in the parks, like what Character Cavalcades we’ll be able to spot in Magic Kingdom and which places we’ll be able to shop at in Hollywood Studios.

If you’re looking forward to hopping on your favorite attractions again, Disney has also told guests all the rides that will be open in each park (we’re excited to see that the Haunted Mansion made the cut).

Since this is an evolving situation, however, Disney has to update many of its statements consistently to fit with new guidelines. And, that means that some attractions that may have been previously scheduled to re-open will no longer be a part of the rides and entertainment available to guests during the initial re-openings in Disney World.

At this time, Turtle Talk with Crush and The Festival of the Lion King are no longer available in EPCOT and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Although Disney didn’t make an official statement, the attractions were quietly removed from the list of re-opened locations that we shared with you.

While we don’t know when Turtle Talk with Crush and The Festival of the Lion King will return in Disney World, we expect it will be when Disney feels that the experiences will be able to fit with health and safety guidelines. While it may be disappointing to some to see these rides remain closed, most of the other rides in Disney World will still be re-opening next month.

We will keep you updated on more attraction and experience updates as this is an ever-changing situation!

Here’s the ultimate guide to everything re-opening in Disney World!

It’s been a crazy last few days at Disney Springs! Even our LEGO pal can’t keep up with all the madness that’s been happening!!

But don’t worry! We’ll get you caught up on EVERYTHING that’s new — from restaurants that have reopened, to new merchandise and MORE, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s get goin’!

Disney Springs Food Update

Homecomin’

One of our favorite spots to come home to at Disney Springs has just reopened — Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’!

And we did get to sit down with Chef Art and chat about the new Shine Bar and Patio project, and lots more!

In addition to delicious fried chicken and more, Homecomin’ is also selling the adorable Chicken Print Face Mask Chef Art was wearing, along with plenty of other NEW MERCH!

The Polite Pig

The Polite Pig has been embroiled in a bit of a cookie mix-up! Earlier this week, they announced they would no longer be selling Gideon Bakehouse Cookies (which we later found out was because Gideon’s will soon be getting its own Disney Springs digs).

As a replacement, they debuted a new Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie — HOWEVER, folks seemed to think it was a Gideon’s Cookie knock-off…

…so they changed the recipe AGAIN and came up with THIS Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie instead!

Welp, there’s no mistaking it NOW! The Polite Pig is selling its new Bourbon on the Rocks Cookie all day (or until it sells out) for $5 and there’s no limit on how many you can get, so pile ’em up!

Click here to learn more about this Polite Pig cookie fiasco!

The Basket at Wine Bar George

Just in time for Father’s Day, The Basket at Wine Bar George has brought back their gunmetal Corkcicles!

They cost $35 and include a drink with purchase!

Morimoto Asia Street Food

At Chef Morimoto’s fast-casual spot, we found Kona Brewing POG Beer! 

That’s right, friends! Morimoto Asia Street Food knows what’s up! They’ve got POG Juice beer! They also had a new Yuzu Lager, too!

Check out our review of Kona Brewing Co.’s POG Beer here!

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill

 Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill has debuted a few new items on their menus, like this new Buffalo Chicken Pizza!

We say menus (plural!) because instead of offering an all-day menu, the restaurant is now switching over to a dinner menu in the afternoon (although it’s basically the same menu with the addition of a Mojo Marinated Skirt Steak entrée).

Click here to check out Wolfgang Puck’s Father Day specials!

The Coca Cola Store and Rooftop Beverage Bar

The Coca-Cola Store and Rooftop Beverage Bar has also officially reopened! We sat down to try out its boozy Coca-Cola Brownie Masher!

Note: the elevators to access the upstairs bar are not in service, so you’ll have to hoof it up to the top floor!

Check out our FULL REVIEW of the Coca-Cola Brownie Masher here!

Construction Updates at Disney Springs

NBA Experience

Today was the first time we’ve seen the outside screens on at the NBA Experience since Disney Springs closed.

NBA Experience is still closed, however, we might see it open soon, especially with the NBA players coming to town to finish their 2020 season!

To read more about the NBA coming to Walt Disney World, click here!

Merchandise Update

Complimentary PhotoPass

On Thursday, June 18th, Cast Members around Disney Springs were offering FREE photographs around Disney World’s shopping center.

The experience seems to have been limited to that day, but who knows?! It could come back!

The LEGO Store

The LEGO Store has had quite a few changes since reopening at Disney Springs, and we recently noticed that the Pick-A-Brick is back!

There are a few differences. Instead of grabbing the bricks yourself, you fill out an order form and an employee will grab the LEGO for you. Because you can’t grab the bricks yourself, your order will come with an extra bag of bricks.

Read all about the new Pick a Brick sitch here!

DisneyStyle

Over at DisneyStyle, we spotted a rockin’ faux-leather Animal Wristlet by Loungefly for $40!

It comes with a detachable wrist strap with clasp and a belt loop attachment, so you can wear your Muppet spirit gear any way you desire when Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopens!

Read more about the new Animal Loungefly here!

We’re about ready to go to infinity and beyond to grab the adorable Toy Story Keychain with all our favorite characters (even the Green Army Men) for $9.99.

And, we’re also loving the Neon Water Bottle, which is bright and ombré for $29.99. It’s a great accessory to tote around with you at home as you organize all your Disney merchandise, or to take with you in the parks.

Anthropologie

We’ve spotted face coverings all around Disney Springs, but Anthropologie started carrying masks over the weekend.

While they only have one pattern left for now, they are restocking soon!

LovePop

If you want to make your Father’s Day POP, head over to LovePop. They have a HUGE selection of fun Father’s Day cards, from Star Wars…

…to golfing-themed cards for those sporty dads out there! These cards range in price from $13 to $15 each.

For more about LovePop’s Father’s Day cards, click here!

Tren-D

Over at Tren-D, we spotted some fun new shirts perfect for heading back to the parks! Although Father’s Day is right around the corner, we saw a Disney Mom Shirt that is great for all those stroller-pushing mamas around the parks for $39.99.

And, if you believe in the magic of Disney (who doesn’t??), you’ll love the Where Dreams Come True Tank to show off the Most Magical Place on Earth for $34.99!

World of Disney

If you’re looking for a gift to pair with your adorable LovePop card this Father’s Day, you can give your dad the Star Wars Dad Socks! Whether your father is a Dark Side empathizer or a Light Side supporter, these socks are a great gift for any Star Wars (or Darth Vader) fan out there.

Things are getting curiouser and curiouser over at the World of Disney with the Alice in Wonderland Tumbler! The cute cartoons show Alice at a Mad Tea Party with the Mad Hatter and the March Hare (she’s serving up some piping hot tea)…

…and, of course, the White Rabbit is running away from all the Bread-and-Butterflies and crazy things from Wonderland for $19.99.

Take a spin with the Alice in Wonderland Tumbler by checking it out here!

Double, double, toil and trouble…the Poison Apple Color-Changing Mug has made a spooktacular appearance at the World of Disney!

This one changes from black to green as you fill it with hot liquid!

Read all about the Poison Apple Mug here!

But, if you’re wanting to sip out of something a little more playful, you can pick up the Toy Story Mug with building blocks of all the parks (plus Woody and Buzz) for the handle! You can get both mugs for $19.99 each.

Take a look at all the details on the Toy Story Mug here!

We’ve been seeing so much of the rainbow merchandise throughout Disney World, and we are TOTALLY digging the Mickey Rainbow Shirt in the World of Disney! The neckline and sleeves have rainbow stripes (which we think are super groovy) for $36.99.

And, if you’re looking for more vibrant colors, you can put on the Mickey Hawaiian Button Down Shirt to chill out by the pool for $59.99.

The Fourth of July is just around the corner! And, even though we might not be able to watch fireworks in Magic Kingdom, we’re LIVING for the Americana Line in Disney Springs.

You can celebrate with your family wearing the Americana Ears…

…tote around some extra goodies in the Americana Backpack…

…and try on an entire array of Fourth of July themed pouches, outfits, and more!!

You can check out the full America Collection in Disney World here!

We’re already writing down our NEW park game-plan because there are so many changes happening around Disney World. And now you can start writing down which attractions you’re going to visit first with the Most Magical Place on Earth Notebook.

The inside has gorgeous artwork of Cinderella Castle…

…with simple (but elegant) stationary lines so you can keep everything neat and organized for $19.99.

Moms, Disney is carrying a torch for all you special ladies out there! On top of the shirt we saw earlier, you can also grab the blue Disney Mom Tank that’s new to us for $34.99.

The rainbow trend doesn’t quit in Disney World! You can snuggle up in the sparkly Rainbow Fleece Throw for $59.99 while you watch some of your favorite Disney movies!

Take a look at even MORE rainbow merchandise in the parks here!

We may not be the best bakers in the world, but we’re going to bake up a STORM of Disney recipes using the new kitchen line at the World of Disney!

You can use the Anastasia and Drizella Pot Holders to make sure you don’t burn yourself on your cookie tray…

…match with the Beast to your Belle in the Beauty and the Beast Aprons…

…and let all the chocolate chips and icing know who the new sheriff is in town with the Woody Apron.

Check out the rest of the new Kitchen Line at the World of Disney here!

Adventure is out there, and so is the My Adventure Book at the World of Disney!

The inside of the book features Carl’s house floating with balloons, Kevin, Russell…

…and even Ellie’s sweet message to Carl at the end of the notebook (brb still crying).

Go an adventure with a look inside the new Up Book here!

The new-to-us Minnie Polka Dot Loungefly has LOTS of sequins (we could always use more sequins in our lives)…

…with more polka dots on the inside with room for all your cards and maybe even a photo of Minnie and you! This one is $50.

Yo-ho, it’s a pirate’s life for us in the Pirates of the Caribbean Shirt! The shirt is a bit of treasure at the World of Disney for $36.99…

…with skeleton captains and the Pirates logo! Do you think he knows Captain Jack Sparrow??

School may be out, but we always feel up to watching Monsters University! You can use the Mike and Sulley Beverage Holders as you sip on some “Monster” or other drinks!

Plus, the back has the Monsters University logo so you can remind everyone of the best school out there (sorry, not sorry, Scare Tech) for $14.99.

Marketplace Co-Op

Although there have been plenty of spots around Disney Springs with face masks, Disney has rolled out their own line of Character Face Masks at the Marketplace Co-Op!

You can go through the PhotoPass area to pick up which face mask you’d like…

…check out at one of the available cash registers in the Co-Op…

…and then put on your ADORABLE new mask for $6 per mask or 4 for $20!

Masks are currently sold out, but will be restocking on Monday!

Read our step-by-step guide to snagging a character face mask in Disney World here!

We’re pretty sure that your pets are probably Disney fans at this point! ;D And you can add some magic to your best buds’ day with the Minnie Disney Tails Pet Bowl! While Minnie is smiling at your pets from the inside…

…you can also spot Minnie bows around the outside for $19.99!

Plus, you can even take your pets on a galactic journey (er, walk?) through your neighborhood with the Star Wars Disney Tails leashes and collars!

Whether your pup is more of a Dark Side dog…

…or a Light Side lab, we bet your sweet guy or gal will look super cute in their new gear!

Oh, and don’t forget to tell your dog “U R2 Cute” with the Star Wars Collar too!

Check out everything you need to know about the Star Wars Disney Tails Collection here!

Days of Christmas 

Christmas in July is almost here (and it’s just an excuse to treat yourself with some new merchandise). You can start celebrating the holidays early with the Toy Story Ornaments for $44.99…

…and The Lion King Ornaments for $39.99 (Simba just can’t wait to be on your Christmas tree)!

We’re so ready for that wintry weather!
