Have you been missing some delicious Ample Hills Creamery ice cream from Disney’s BoardWalk (and soon to be Disney Springs)?

We can almost taste the Sally Sells Seashells, Chocolate Milk and Cookies, and Ooey Gooey Butter Cake just thinking about it! Well we have some great news for you Ample Hills Ice Cream fans!

The Brooklyn-based ice cream shop is once again offering nationwide shipping!

At this time, Ample Hills is unable to send to every state due to shipping changes, so if you’re located in CA, NV, UT, OR, WA, TX, Hawaii, or Alaska, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer before Ample Hills can ship to you.

But if you’re in any other states, order away! You can choose from a 4-Pack of pints for $66 or a 6-Pack for $75. Choose from flavors such as Baked/Unbaked, Nonna D’s Oatmeal Lace, and Fluffernutter Fudge.

Orders typically take two or three days to travel, but Ample Hills guarantees that your ice cream will arrive frozen, or you can your money back! If you’re ready to dive into some chilly pints, order up a batch of your favorite flavors here!

PEZ stand clear of the doors!

Before the Disney parks closed in mid-March, we spotted some adorable Monorail candy dispenser displays at Disneyland. And it looks like these cuties are still making the rounds!

Earlier today, we were strolling through World of Disney, when amongst a display of tasty treats, something caught our eye.

Yup, we spotted those adorable Monorail candy dispenser displays!

The display is available in both blue and red — in case you need a little extra room to display all of your Pez dispensers!

Each display can hold up to eight Pez dispensers, so Mickey and the gang can all stick together! You can grab your own mini-Monorail for $14.99.

And if you’re looking for a few more Pez dispensers to fill your Monorail to capacity, we spotted those for sale separately as well for $4.49 each!

Keep an eye out for this cute Monorail display in World of Disney if you want to treat your collection to their own highway in the sky!

The world is still (rightfully) obsessed with Baby Yoda. This little guy has been featured on a TON of merch since his adorable debut in The Mandalorian on Disney+ — and for good reason! He’s stinkin’ CUTE!

Build-A-Bear first released “The Child” plush in April and after a series of sellouts, he is coming back for the FOURTH time!

If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a sweet Baby Yoda plush, you’ll be super happy to know that he will be released once again TOMORROW! Set your alarms because a virtual pre-waiting room will open at 11:30 AM CST and sales start at noon. You can sign up to be on the mailing list to find out when the plushes are restocked here!

These little guys are quick to go and, like past releases, there are limited quantities available. If you join the pre-waiting room, you will be assigned a random spot in line for when the sales goes live at noon and each plush costs $59.75.

Just in case you thought he couldn’t get any cuter, you can also jam out to The Mandalorian theme song by squeezing his little paw (er, hand?)!

The future of AMC Theatres seems to be uncertain. The movie chain acknowledges the financial effects of COVID-19 and how it has “substantial doubt” about their future.

The AMC Theatre company, which closed its movie theaters earlier this year, expects to have lost between $2.1 billion and $2.4 billion in the first quarter alone. The movie theater chain also said that its revenue fell to $941.5 million, which was down roughly 22% from $1.2 billion in the same quarter of 2019. For second quarter of 2020, the financial situation has gotten substantially worse. If things don’t improve, the company might be forced to close its doors.

Today, the company 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. We’ll have to see how business activity resumes once movie releases return to theaters.

We’ve been at Universal Studios today for an Annual Passhholder preview exploring all the sounds, sights, and smells of the newly reopened theme parks!

Yes, believe it or not, you can still smell the delicious aroma of theme park food, even while wearing a face covering! But while Universal Studios has pushed for more guests to use the mobile food ordering process at many of its restaurants, the app seemed to struggle a bit today.

Even though select Universal Studios restaurants offered mobile order before the temporary closures, even more locations have been added to the app! The feature looks very similar to Disney’s mobile order system. Just pick your location and select what you want (Butterbeer, obvi!!).

Once you’ve got your items entered in, you simply check out (contactless payment, baby!). All of that seems pretty easy, right? Well, not so fast… .

We’ve been having quite a few issues with the app today. First of all, the app seems to be crashing A LOT. Also, mobile order isn’t recognizing which park we’re at! Even though we were standing inside Islands of Adventures when we tried placing this order, we received an error message. We were able to sort it out by refreshing the app in our settings.

Other times when our orders successfully went through, we noticed a lot of confusion when we went to pick up our food.

Since the system is new for a lot of folks (and Universal employees, too) there doesn’t seem to be a lot of guidance or direction. And while we’ve also noticed several of the Harry Potter-themed restaurants had SUPER long mobile order lines, we found out some of these guests were just wanting to order some food! They didn’t realize they were standing in an order pick-up line!

From our experience today, it seems like full, sit-down meal restaurants are having a harder time with mobile order than grab ‘n’ go spots due to the limited capacity of these dining locations. Do remember that this is just the FIRST day of Annual Passholder previews, so issues may work themselves out over the next few days.

If you still have issues, just ask! Universal team members will address these technical issues you’re having with mobile order and can help you navigate it a little better!
