It’s Time to Gear Up Again at DisneyStyle — Now Reopen in Disney Springs!

DisneyStyle has only been a part of the Disney Springs shopping scene since May 2018 when it first opened its doors.

But ever since, this charming spot has been super popular with guests looking to gear up with all sorts of Disney clothing and accessories, which is why we’re glad to see it back open as of today!

As with other stores in Disney Springs, distancing markers are placed in front of the store if guests need to wait for a cast member to bring them in if the store reaches its limited guest capacity inside.

And, also like the other Disney-owned stores now open in Disney Springs, DisneyStyle may utilize a virtual queue, if needed.

While perusing the Minnie Ears, t-shirts, hoodies, and more, you’ll also spot distancing markers as well as plexiglass in front of the cast members at the registers.

Of course, aside from the super fun selection of clothing, DisneyStyle is also well-loved for the theming of the shop itself! Those Tangled lanterns still float above, and larger-than-life Mickey Ice Cream Bars and a Dole Whip still set the whimsical scene.

And — YES! — you can still get your photo taken in the TEA CUP!!

The tea cup gets cleaned after guests are finished posing in it.

While there was no new merchandise during this visit, you can bet that we will be back soon to check it all out when we’re back here on Disney Springs’ West Side! Our visit here today also included a trip to the newly reopened Candy Cauldron, City Works Eatery & Pour House, and MORE, so we’d love it if you’d stick with us while we stick around Disney Springs today!

The Art of Disney and Wonderful World of Memories Reopened in Disney Springs Today

Post date June 10, 2020

We’ve been chauffeuring you around with us on what’s shaped up to be an EPIC reopening day at Disney Springs!

Disney Springs Sign

That’s because several spots have just reopened today at Disney Springs Marketplace and West Side! Now we’ve just spotted some activity at another one of our favorite shops to spend a lot of time (and money) at!

The Art of Disney as well as the adjacent shop Wonderful World of Memories officially reopened today!

The Art of Disney

Since the two stores are joined, you must enter through The Art of Disney and exit through Wonderful World of Memories to visit either location!

Wonderful World of Memories

Not sure about you guys, but our bank accounts have taken quite the hit thanks to The Art of Disney. This is a one-stop-shop for signed limited edition prints and amazing artworks to add to our Disney gallery walls back home (yup — we might open our own museum someday with the collection we’ve amassed!).

The Art of Disney

Signs with important health and safety reminders are now located at each store…

…and some social distancing markers have been placed near the checkout.

There weren’t too many floor displays crowding the store today, but we did notice this rather enticing collection of BIG FIGS!

And we saw a Disney artist performing live sketches when we stopped by!

The Art of Disney on Demand was still available. This is a self-serve kiosk where you can scroll through virtual libraries of Disney art on a touchscreen to pick out the prints you’d like to buy!

Heading next door to Wonderful World of Memories, we saw they had plenty of Minnie ears and lots of hats onhand!

Wonderful World of Memories

We were told by a Cast Member they can still do personalization of hats, but can’t embroider backpacks right now. Here’s a glimpse of all the Mickey Ears they had to choose from today!

Wonderful World of Memories

There were barely any guests shopping with us in the store today, but we were told the store can utilize the same virtual queue system the other Disney owned properties are using on busier days.

Wonderful World of Memories

We’ve got a few more spots to hit before we finally throw in the towel, so sit tight while we scope out the rest of Disney Springs and see what other stores have reopened today!

Are you excited to drop some serious coin at The Art of Disney? Let us know if you’ll be stopping by in the comments below!

AMC Theatres Set to Reopen All Theaters Soon Despite Financial Troubles

AMC Theatres Set to Reopen All Theaters Soon Despite Financial Troubles

AMC Theatres Set to Reopen All Theaters Soon Despite Financial Troubles. Nearly a week after Cinemark Theaters announced they will be reopening soon it seems AMC Theatres is now ready to share their re-opening plans for the Summer of 2020.

According to journalist Ashley Carter from Orlando’s Spectrum News 13, AMC Theatres plans to open in time to feature Christopher Nolan’s Tenet (scheduled release: July 17, 2020) and Disney’s live-action Mulan (scheduled release: July 24, 2020).

Recently, AMC Theatres held a regulatory meeting and stated how they are generating effectively no revenue. It was said in the meeting that the movie theater company had a cash balance of $718.3 million as of April 2020. An AMC representative stated the following:

“We believe we have the cash resources to reopen our theatres and resume our operations this summer or later. Our liquidity needs thereafter will depend, among other things, on the timing of a full resumption of operations, the timing of movie releases and our ability to generate revenues.”

The biggest challenge for the company is continued delay of theatrical releases. Highly anticipated films such as Mulan, Black Widow, and more have been pushed back due to health concerns during the pandemic. Things were looking dire for the company, but it seems the most popular movie theater chain may see new ownership in the near future after it was revealed Amazon.com has taken a heavy interest in the company.

This would explain why AMC Theatres is comfortable re-opening their doors sooner than expected. If a deal was struck between AMC and Amazon this would afford some much needed time for AMC to recoup losses hovering around the $2.18 billion mark from the previous quarter.

A formal re-opening date has yet to be announced, but new guidelines are expected to be announced very soon on how AMC Theatres plans to address issues such as face masks, audience attendance, and cleaning procedures.

Post date June 10, 2020

We’ve noticed several Disney Springs businesses have reopened for the first time since March today including one of our favorite margarita joints!

And we also saw a spot that’s reopening for its second time around after rather strangely closing up again a few days ago!

Last week, we reported Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill (along with Planet Hollywood) had mysteriously closed unexpectedly!

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill

But today, we saw the restaurant was up and runnin’ again, just like normal! Well, normal as in social distancing markers, hand sanitizer, face masks — you know what we mean!

Wolfgang Puck is open from 12PM-8PM for the time being. And in case you were wondering, Planet Hollywood has also officially reopened for its second time too which you can read more about here!
