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.

Read our full review of Wine Bar George’s re-opening here!

Is It Happy Hour?? A Bunch of Disney Springs Bars Have Reopened Today!

We spotted several bars at Disney Springs that have now reopened!

Disney Springs

Looking for a place to grab a drink in Disney Springs? Well then, we have great news! Now that most of the state of Florida has entered Phase Two of Governor Ron DeSantis’s Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step. Plan for Florida’s Recovery, bars have been given the green light to reopen.

And on our walk-through of Disney Springs, we noticed that a handful of locations have now reopened their bar seating. So, where can you go to snag a spot at the bar?

The Front Porch Bar at House of Blues

Well, let’s start with The Front Porch Bar at House of Blues! While the restaurant and retail store had already reopened earlier this week, the patio and outdoor bar are now welcoming back guests as well.

The Front Porch Bar at House of Blues

The patio is also offering live music performances and happy hour specials!

House of Blues Happy Hour Specials

Guests are asked to maintain social distancing of at least six feet, and contactless payments and menus are available.

Check out the newly reopened House of Blues!

Wine Bar George

Bar seating has also resumed at one of our favorite Disney Springs restaurants, Wine Bar George! For now, bar seating is very limited and is only available downstairs.

Wine Bar George has implemented a number of new health and safety measures upon reopening.

Have you seen these loaded fries from The Basket at Wine Bar George??

The Boathouse

The indoor bar at The Boathouse is reopened, but guests are asked not to move the barstools from their current locations.

The Boathouse Indoor Bar

The outside bar at The Boathouse is still closed for now!

We visited The Boathouse when it reopened, check out our experience!

Paradiso 37

We noticed a similar situation at Paradiso 37 — the indoor bar is now reopened, but the outdoor bar is still currently closed.

Paradiso 37 Indoor Bar

Pairs of barstools were spaced apart in order to encourage social distancing.

Paradiso 37 recently updated its operating hours!

STK Orlando

Bar seating is also now available at STK Orlando.

STK Orlando

They will be keeping an empty bar seat between each party in order to allow for distancing.

Check out our review of the reopened STK Orlando!

The Polite Pig

And The Polite Pig has reopened both the outdoor and indoor bars. Here’s a peek at the outdoor seating…

The Polite Pig Outdoor Bar

…and here’s a look at the reopened indoor bar seating!

The Polite Pig Indoor Bar

We spotted a private barrel bourbon flight on the menu here, so the bar seating could be a great place to give it a try!

Check out our review of the NEW menu items at The Polite Pig!

So, if you’re looking for a place at Disney Springs to grab a quick drink, these newly reopened bars should give you several options to consider!

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!

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!).
