You Can STILL Score This Drink Discount in Disney World…But It’s a Little Different Now!

Ya’ll know that Wine Bar George is one of our go-to spots in Disney Springs!

The Basket at Wine Bar George

And, now that the shopping and dining district is back open, we’ve been SO excited to get some flaming cheese at the restaurant and a Froscato next door at The Basket!

Even though we’ve told you all about those AWESOME Corkcicles available at The Basket, one of our favorite discounts at the quick-service stop is looking a little different nowadays.

Yellow Corksicle

You usually can get a refill of your pick of a frozen drink like Froscato, Frosé, or Freaujolais (choosing is so hard!!) for $10 after you’ve purchased a Corkcicle (usually $13). The Basket used to refill your cup directly and give it back to you. However, with the recent health and safety procedures at Disney Springs, The Basket is now putting refills in a plastic cup instead of directly in your Corkcicle!

New Corkcicle Procedure

Of course, you can pour the drink in yourself, but this prevents any extra cross-contamination between guests and The Basket. Since you have the option to just drink straight from the plastic cup, we asked if you can just bring your receipt from your Corkcicle to get the discount, but no dice. You must bring your Corkcicle and show it to the cashier to get the discount. Hey, we’re just happy we can still get our Dole Whip slush on!

Read all about the disappearance of the newest Corkcicle at The Basket here!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall! This Journal in Disney Springs Is the Fairest of Them All!

Lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow — Snow White is just exceedingly fabulous and stylish!

World of Disney

We’ve been searching around World of Disney for the newest and cutest items, and although we’ve already shown you the crowd levels in Disney Springs today and the heroic return of the Baby Yoda Plush, we’re giving you a chance to step inside your own fairytale with this new journal!

The Snow White Journal is a DREAM! While the outside looks like a marble wishing well (kind of similar to the one in Magic Kingdom!)…

Snow White Journal

…the inside tells the story of lil Snow and her tragic backstory!

Snow White Story

But, even though the Evil Queen totally was a baddie and tried to ruin Snow’s life…

Snow White Story

…YOU can rewrite the ending with a Happily Ever After! Or, you can even write your own princess story (give our character magical powers like Elsa, please).

Snow White Journal

The outside of the journal also has gorgeous gold trim and detailing, like the Seven Dwarfs looking all Happy, Sleepy, Dopey… well, you get the rest! ?

The Seven Dwarfs

There are even some of Snow’s woodland creature friends smiling because they probably know Snow is baking up some apple pie in the cottage’s kitchen.

Woodland Creatures

Although it was sold out earlier this week, you can pick up the Snow White Journal for $29.99 at World of Disney! And, if you love it as much as we do, the Cinderella version will hopefully be back in stock within the next few days.

Snow White Journal

Maybe you could use the journal as a place to write down all your favorite Disney recipes, so you can bake as well as Snow White! You can check out some of the other princesses’ versions here!

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

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.

Check out where we spotted a Baby Yoda plush today in Disney Springs here!

NEWS! Refillable Popcorn Buckets Are BACK at Disney Springs!

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.

Disney Springs Popcorn Bucket price

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!).

Read our full review of the loaded fries at The Basket here!
