Some Unexpected (and rando, tbh) Guests Are Patrolling Disney World Today…

It’s been a busy day at Disney Springs! From World of Disney reopening to us eating our first official Dole Whip in months, we’ve wondered how it could get any more memorable!

Yes, there are STORMTROOPERS in Disney Springs today!

Leave it up to a squad of actual STORMTROOPERS showing up at Disney Springs today to get the party going!

Yes, you heard us correctly: we spotted Stormtroopers at Disney Springs today! 

A pair of Stormtroopers were seen patrolling from high above the shops. We saw them above Uno de 50! Do we think they’re there to enforce the new health and safety protocol in Disney Springs? Regardless, we always find ourselves paying closer attention to the rules when Stormtroopers are around!

Watch out! Stormtroopers are patrolling Disney Springs!

We don’t anticipate seeing them at the ground level, but what an interesting and cool way to incorporate a character interaction today in Disney World!

PLUS — while we listened to them give marching orders to the guests, we noticed that one of the Stormtroopers seems to be female! While we’ve known about Stormtrooper leaders like Captain Phasma being female, we’ve never encountered a female-voiced stormtrooper at Disney World until today! Have you??

Check out what else we’re up to at Disney Springs today here!

Are you heading to Disney Springs soon? Let us know in the comments, and be on the lookout for those Stormtroopers!

Mickey Pretzels and Popcorn Never Tasted SO GOOD — Snacks are BACK at Disney World!

We’ve been filling you in on all the latest happenings now that several stores and restaurants have started to reopen at Disney Springs since last week!

World of Disney

And while you probably thought our coverage of World of Disney’s grand reopening was a pretty big deal today — we’re following an even BIGGER story (we think so at least!).

Now that several Disney-owned locations have started to reopen, guess what we’ve found throughout Disney Springs?!?

Snack and Cocktail Carts

That’s right, fam! Mickey Pretzels, Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, Churros, and Popcorn have triumphantly RETURNED to Disney World!

Popcorn

We’ll never look at them these common Disney World snacks the same way AGAIN! To think about how many times we took them for granted only to realize when the parks temporarily closed down we’d miss them MOST OF ALL!

We picked up a bucket of popcorn (still in that cute Mary Blair inspired packaging!)

Popcorn!

A Cast Member informed us that they’re still refilling popcorn buckets, even though they’re not currently selling them!

Next up, we got our ol’ pal, a Mickey Pretzel!

Mickey Pretzel!

Churros are available as well.

Snacks

All our favorite Ice Cream Novelties, including Mickey Premium Bars and Ice Cream Sandwiches, have returned as well!

Ice Cream

A small number of alcoholic options like beer are available for purchase at these stands again too. You can find the snacks at various carts throughout Disney Springs starting today!

See our full coverage of the reopened Disney-owned stores in Disney Springs here!

Are you happy to see your favorite Disney snacks BACK?! Let us know below!

Orange County Mayor Endorses Walt Disney World’s Reopening Plan – Submitted to Governor DeSantis for Final Approval

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings has just endorsed Walt Disney World’s Reopening Plan. This means that the reopening plan is on it’s way to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for Final Approval.

Walt Disney World Resort proposal plans for Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom to begin a phased reopening to the general public on July 11th, followed by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th.

Because theme park capacity will be significantly limited as Disney welcomes guests back to the magic, they will manage attendance through a new theme park reservation system that will require all guests to obtain a reservation for park entry in advance. At this time, Disney is temporarily pausing new ticket sales and Disney Resort hotel reservations so they can focus on guests with existing tickets and reservations (Disney Vacation Club members can still make new reservations).

Existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders will be able to make reservation requests in phases before new tickets are sold; they will be reaching out to these guests soon to provide additional details. They will resume new ticket sales and hotel reservations after that period of time. Theme park reservations will be limited due to attendance limitations and will be subject to availability. More details about this new reservation system will be available soon.

Additionally, Disney Vacation Club resorts at Walt Disney World will reopen to members and guests and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will begin to reopen on June 22nd.  Plans to support required physical distancing as well as enhanced cleaning measures, along with a number of other safety and cleanliness protocols, will be implemented as part of this planned phased reopening.

In case you missed the reopening plan you can check it out below.
