Disney Springs Merchandise Update

World of Disney

Do you ever see a piece of Disney merchandise and have the urge to buy it just for how much it makes you laugh??

Stitch Hat

We couldn’t help but giggle at the new Stitch Hat at the World of Disney with its giant ears and even bigger teeth.

If you’re lucky enough to have a prestigious degree from Monsters University, we applaud your dedication and hard work to the scaring (er, comedy?) craft.

Monsters University Merch

And, you can rep your favorite campus with Monsters University merch, including bags, shirts, socks and more!

Marketplace Co-Op

Although the Stitch Hat may be the funniest thing we’ve seen in Disney Springs recently, the St. Patrick’s Day and Leap Day Shirts are the strangest! While the holidays have definitely passed, you can still celebrate them at the Marketplace Co-Op.

Coach Re-Opening

What’s New in Disney Springs: Merch That’s Flying Off Shelves and the Reopening of SO. MANY. BARS!

Disney Springs is getting back into the groove after its initial reopening on May 20th.

World of Disney Queue

Yes, with the reopening of World of Disney and more restaurants, there are TONS of new merchandise items, food, and drinks. Oh, and the crowds are coming BACK, so let’s dive right on in!

Disney Springs Crowd Update

We’ve seen some hustle and bustle while in Disney Springs today!

World of Disney Virtual Queue Sign

We’ve seen the shopping and dining district pretty empty recently, but World of Disney needed to use a Virtual Queue since it was a bit more hoppin’ than usual!

World of Disney

We don’t know about you guys, but we think that the new Pain and Panic Socks at World of Disney are insanely cool! The magenta and blue socks feature Hades’ sidekicks from Hercules with little fuzzy “ears” and a WHOLE lot of detail.

Just when you thought you had enough Loungefly bags, two new backpacks arrived on the shelves of World of Disney. Well, they can barely stay on the shelves, since they’re THAT popular! The Mickey Balloon Loungefly Backpack keeps selling out (but it will be restocked soon) because it’s so cute…

And, the best part is that the makeup store will donate $5 of your $10 purchase of the mask to charity. Now that’s just another reason to love Sephora!

Disney Springs Food Update

Happy Hour is ON, folks! Indoor and outdoor bar seating has started to reopen across Disney Springs — and we are hyped! If you’re ready to get sippin’ and snackin’ while you’re visiting, we have an extensive list of places that you can go!

The Basket at Wine Bar George

While we thought that the Color Block Corkcicle might be gone for good after it sold out at Wine Bar George’s The Basket, we were SUPER happy to see that it was back in stock!

New Corkcicle Procedure

So, now you can drink all the Froscato your heart desires! (We’ll never get over how good that Dole Whip slush is, you guys!)

Take a look at how the Corkcicle refills have changed at The Basket!

Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies

While things come and go in Disney World, we were so surprised to find that Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies had disappeared from the West Side of Disney Springs!

Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies Area

Right now, there are a bunch of shrubs where the kiosk used to be. We aren’t sure if the West Side location will be reopening again, but you can still visit Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies at the Marketplace.

Check out all the details on the missing Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothie kiosk here!

Well, that’s all for this What’s New at Disney Springs! We’ll catch you next time for more merchandise, crowd, and food updates!

Guess Who’s Back?! The Color Block Corkcicles Have RETURNED in Disney Springs!

Although merchandise comes and goes in Walt Disney World, it can pretty exciting when you’re surprised with a returning item that you thought was gone for good!

The Basket at Wine Bar George

Ever since Wine Bar George’s The Basket has been serving up its “Fries and Frozen” promo, we’ve been snagging up all that frozen Dole Whip goodness in their cute, reusable Corkcickles they sell. But soon after we first spotted the newest color option, the restaurant was all out of the accompanying teal and lime color block Corkcicles.

We were told that there was a possibility that the new Color Block Corkcicle would not be returning after it sold out, but we were SUPER excited to see it was back again today!

New Corkcicle

Remember that the refill procedures are a bit different now! You can still go back to The Basket for $10 refills of FroscatoFrosé, or Freaujolais after purchasing a Corkcicle for $13, but the quick-stop will put your drink in a plastic cup instead of directly in the Corkcicle.

New Corkcicle Procedure

Even though they used to refill it inside the Corkcicle itself, The Basket is following the health and safety procedures at Disney Springs during this time. If you want the refill, you’ll still need to bring your Corkcicle along with you to show to the cashier to get the discount! Those frozen drinks are SO worth it, though.

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!
