New Meeko & Flit Socks At Disney Springs

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Every princess (or prince) needs a furry friend to help them through the hard times, and now you can sport socks not only featuring 1, but 2 iconic Disney pet sidekicks.

Meeko, the always hungry pet raccoon from the animated film Pocahontas is featured happily peeking out of these new, grey-striped tube socks accompanied by his other animal friend, Flit the hummingbird.

Meeko is no stranger to getting his own merchandise. Just last year, the woodland creature got an entire line dedicated to him in the Disney Wisdom Collection, as well as his own Alex & Ani bangle.

So if you’re looking to add to your Pocahontas collection, or just want some stylish socks to remind you of the Disney magic, you can pick these up at World of Disney at Disney Springs, amongst a wide array of other options.

As always, the socks come in at $14.99 on their own, but drop down to $11.00 each when you buy two. Just make sure to stock up on some biscuits so Meeko has something to snack on if you choose to rock these adorable socks.

Disney Springs To Close at 7pm Effective Today to Comply With Orange County Curfew Order

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

To comply with Orange County’s new 10 p.m. curfew, effective today, Sunday, May 31 and until further notice, Disney Springs will be closing at 7 p.m., to allow cast members, operating participant employees, and guests time to return home.

Hours of operation may vary by location. For details, please call the restaurant or store you’d like to visit.

Orange County joins a number of counties across the state (like Miami-Dade County) who have instituted curfews due to the ongoing civil unrest and protests surrounding the murder of George Floyd. Disney released an official statement earlier today on the tragedy.

Prior to the curfew, hours for Disney Springs since the reopening have been 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. We expect hours to return to normal once the curfew is lifted.

Disney Makes Changes To Its Mobile Ordering To Promote Social Distancing

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Dining, Disney Parks

Disney recently announced that with the phased reopening they would be working on “Limited-Contact enhancements,” that would help reduce the contact between Cast Members and guests in dining and retail situations. Disney has now added a couple of great new features to its Mobile Order service to encourages guests to use the service. One of the new features is one that guests have been asking for a long time! Catch all the details below.

D-Luxe Burger at Disney Springs is currently offering Mobile Order service, so we can see what the new enhancements are. First up, is a new “Arrival Window” selection. Previously, when you arrived at your quick-service location you would tap the “I’m Here” button. Now, you’ll choose an arrival window of 30 minutes.

What guests have long been asking for were more ways to pay with Mobile Ordering. Now Disney Gift Cards and Apple Pay have been added as payment options. This will allow for more contactless purchasing.

Guests can now add Disney Gift Cards and use Apple Pay when completing a purchase with Mobile Order.

Mobile Order will be the preferred way to dine at quick-service restaurants and we’re excited to see the changes within the app.
