Moments ago we reported Goofy’s Candy Company has just reopened in the Disney Springs Marketplace!

But another spot to grab a Mickey Krispy Treat, Caramel Apple, or other sugary delight has just reopened on Disney Springs’ West Side! That’s right — Candy Cauldron is back, you guys! Let’s go check it out!

Candy Cauldron reopened to the public today and boy how we missed this place! Just like Goofy’s, the shop is operating with a limited capacity of only seven guests allowed in at a time, making this one very V.I.P. experience in Disney World!

Candy Cauldron

Don’t worry, though! If a lot of folks show up at once, Candy Cauldron can utilize the new virtual queue system meaning a Cast Member will take your name and number and text you when it’s your turn to gorge! Since there wasn’t a wait today, we walked right in and up to the bakery case where social distancing markers have now been placed.

Candy Cauldron

Candy Cauldron isn’t making anything fresh right now, but they’re filling their cases with freshly-baked goods that are being delivered to them each day. They still had a decent selection of yummy treats to choose from although there isn’t as much of a variety!

They’re also still selling their regular selection pre-packaged candies as well as their bulk candy offerings! Cotton candy, popcorn, cookies — you name it, they GOT IT!

And if you want to dig into your confections right away, Candy Cauldron also provides hand sanitizer for its guests!

Disney Springs is certainly starting to look and feel a lot more like its old self now that places like Candy Cauldron are back up, bubbling and brewing once more! Stay tuned to see what other spots have reopened!

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.

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!

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!
