Disney Springs Is a Little Busier Today With a Short Virtual Queue in Place

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date May 30, 2020

We brought you along with us to see the reopening of Disney-owned locations in Disney Springs this week.

Disney Springs

In the days before these locations opened, Disney Springs was consistently pretty quiet. But the morning World of Disney reopened, things were bonkers. We’re talking a six hour wait bonkers. But we’re back in Disney Springs again today to see if crowds are still steady.

The new reopening procedures at Disney-owned locations such as World of Disney and the Marketplace Co-Op brought about a virtual queue system to manage crowds. Similar to the virtual queues in the parks for things like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Rise of the Resistance, guests sign up to be part of a virtual line at the front of the attraction (or store, in this case). Once your name is on the list, you can stroll through Disney Springs until you receive a text that it’s your turn to shop.

Virtual Queue

As we mentioned, reopening day was BUSY, but it seems as though crowds are winding down each day. Even on a weekend, we were able to walk right in to World of Disney with no wait.

Inside World of Disney

By the time we visited Marketplace Co-Op, the store was at capacity and a virtual queue was in place. BUT, it took less than five minutes to receive a text that we were cleared to return and shop.

Marketplace Co-Op Virtual Queue

We’ll keep you updated as crowd levels are continually in flux, but compared to opening day — Disney’s stores are much less busy today.

NEWS! Refillable Popcorn Buckets Are BACK at Disney Springs!

Post date May 30, 2020

If you know us, you KNOW that chowing down on some classic Disney snacks are an essential part of our day!

Popcorn in Disney Springs

And while we’ve spotted Mickey pretzels, popcorn, and Dole Whip at Disney Springs since it reopened earlier this month, one HUGE thing was missing… refillable popcorn buckets.

Well, we are happy to report that refillable popcorn buckets are BACK, baby!!!

Popcorn buckets for sale at Disney Springs

We spotted the refillable Mickey birthday popcorn bucket on sale at a Disney Springs popcorn stand today. It’s available for $12.00 and refills are just $2.00.

And, yes, the popcorn stands will refill your popcorn bucket right now. When we went snacked around Disney Springs earlier this month, the cast member handled our bucket as little as possible, wiped down the handle, and, of course, filled our bucket with tons of buttery, salty popcorn!

Refillable Popcorn Bucket

These may not be the most mind-blowing popcorn buckets compared to something like the Millennium Falcon buckets we found at these carts earlier this year, but it’s a step in the right direction! So if you don’t have a refillable popcorn bucket yet, you can buy one yet again at Disney Springs!

Are you excited that refillable popcorn buckets are BACK at Walt Disney World? Sound off in the comments!

And Then There Were None! The NEW Corkcicles at Wine Bar George in Disney Springs Are Sold Out!

Disney merchandise comes and goes, especially when Disney Springs has just reopened to guests!

Disney Springs

Although we’ve already seen the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collection sell out lightning fast, another fan-favorite has disappeared from the shelves!

When we visit Wine Bar George’s The Basket, we love picking up a Corkcicle to keep our frozen drinks chilly — in the cutest way.

The Basket at Wine Bar George

Although new colors roll out pretty frequently (hellooo, Neon Pink Corkcicle), they are subject to availability since the restaurant only gets a limited amount.

Wine Bar George Corkcicle

And, today, we had to bid adieu to the new teal and lime color block Corkcicle at The Basket (cue our tears)! Although it was only there for a short period of time, a Cast Member informed us that she doesn’t know when OR IF they will be restocked.

New Corkcicle

BUT, The Basket still has other Corkcicle colors available like white and hot pink! So, you can still a new sipper and your choice of a Frozcato, Frosé, or Freaujolais while you’re there!

And, while you’re visiting, you’re definitely going to want to check out the “Fries and Frozen” duo you can mix and match (you get an ENTIRE pound of fries with your purchase!).

Terralina Crafted Italian has re-opened to greet guests! Along with the other dining locations, Terralina will be following extra health and safety protocols during this time.

Hostess

Similar to other Disney Springs locations, Terralina is using distance markers on the ground noting where to stand and they were accepting reservations and walk-ins during our visit.

Distancing Sticker

The indoor and outdoor bars were both open when we visited, but only for to-go drinks.

Indoor Bar

After you are seated, your server offers you a little bag to store your face mask while you eat!

They are offering a QR menu, disposable paper menu, AND you can check out the limited menu on a board outside. They are even offering a special discount right now that you can check out here!

Spotted: Baby Yoda Plush Reappears In Disney Springs!

If there is a Baby Yoda plush left on this planet, we WILL find it.

Baby Yoda Plush

This adorable plush of The Child from The Mandalorian popped up at the recently reopened World of Disney, but sold out in a flash. So we headed BACK to Disney Springs seeking an (adorable) bounty.

We made our way switfty to World of Disney, and much to our surprise — there was no wait! We waltzed on in and — what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature creature STACKED with a bunch of his pals.

Baby Yoda Plush

This layout reminded us a bit of the Little Green Men waiting for THE CLAW in Toy Story. But this little green dude is waiting for a new home with that precious little smirk. If history repeats itself, these little plushes may not stick around for long. So if you’re on the [bounty] hunt in Disney Springs, now is your chance!

Check out what else is new in World of Disney here!
