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?

Who’s your favorite little cool-colored alien in the galaxy?

Stitch at PCH Grill

If you said Baby Yoda, we get it. But we’re giving some love to the OG mischievous abomination. What’s up, Stitch!? It’s super fitting that we’re talking about Experiment 626 today since just a few days ago it was actually Stitch Day (6/26, get it?). To help celebrate the season, we spotted a great way that Stitch can help keep you cool this summer! Check it out!

We spotted this totally adorable Stitch Cooler on Igloo’s website and we just had to show it to you guys. It’s a seven-quart cooler that can hold up to nine 12-oz cans — or peanut butter sandwiches, whichever is your jam.

We’d certainly love to pack a lunch for our Ohana in this guy.

Plus, it features Stitch crawling all over it! Is it us or is it super unsurprising that Experiment 626 is causing some mischief?

One side of the lid feature’s Stitch’s rear end which is kind of adorable. Don’t judge.

Now, AMC, who was hoping to reopen nationwide by July, is making a change to their reopening timeline.

And now according to Deadline, AMC has been forced to push back their tentative resumption date. Without major films such as Disney’s Mulan and other would-be summer blockbusters drawing in crowds, they’ve decided to reopen their movie theaters starting July 30th instead of July 15th.

AMC previously released details about plans for its phased reopening which included several new protocols for employees, sanitizing between showings, and rearranging concession sales. You can read about those here! 

We’ll continue to monitor AMC’s situation and keep you posted with any further developments!

Check out the latest news regarding when Broadway shows and musicals might be resuming here!

Great news for fans of character dining experiences! Garden Grill in Epcot is scheduled to reopen with the park next month with a modified character experience.

Garden Grill is the only in-park character dining restaurant that will be open when the Disney World theme parks reopen next month. It is also one of only two character dining experiences that will be available to guests. The other is Topolino’s Terrace-Flavors of the Riviera located at Disney’s Riviera Resort.

There is no specific information on how the character dining will be modified. Disney’s website says “Character Dining will not be offered during the initial reopening, with the exception of modified Character Dining experiences at Garden Grill Restaurant and Topolino’s Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera.”

We will continue to update as more information is released!
