food IS a theme park
If you didn’t know, Disney Springs is back open and ready for business.
Cooke’s of Dublin
While neighboring Raglan Road Irish Pub opens June 10th, Cookes of Dublin reopened TODAY and you can stop by to indulge in these sweet happy hour specials!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the latest news for you this week. Today we have all the details on what’s happening that affects the Disney Parks.
Spaceship Earth
Due to the current global situation, Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris theme parks will be closed until further notice. Shanghai Disneyland reopened in mid-May and Disney World is REOPENING on July 11th! See all of our coverage HERE. And Disney Springs has REOPENED! Now — we still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Only moments ago we told you Cookes of Dublin would be reopening on June 3rd and will be open from noon to 10 PM daily!
Raglan Road
And we included a little teaser about Raglan Road’s possible reopening date! Well, we can’t hold it in any longer!
Now that several Disney-owned locations including World of Disney have reopened in Disney Springs, more businesses are following suit!
Disney Springs Sign
And while moments ago we learned House of Blues in Disney Springs would be opening soon, Cookes of Dublin has just announced when they will be reopening.
Earlier this week, we reported that Disney Springs will kick off Walt Disney World’s phased re-opening on May 20th. Even though Disney Springs plans to open to the public, the choice to open each store or restaurant is up to the discretion of the owners.

So far we’ve confirmed that Raglan Road Irish Pub is planning to not open its doors on May 20th, and we just learned of another restaurant that will remain closed May 20th!

Breakfast Skillet
Does anyone else find themselves craving breakfast food constantly? Just us?? Well, we’re so dedicated to “the most important meal of the day” that we decided to do some digging to see if there’s a place in Disney World that serves breakfast all day! So put on your stretchy pants and let’s go on a (scrambled) egg hunt!
All sorts of lessons are being presented online right now for at-home learning, and we’d like to let you know of one that might put a little extra spring — or perhaps we should say “jig” — in your step. Tomorrow, our friends from Raglan Road in Disney Springs are presenting an online lesson in the art of Irish Dance!

We love to share our favorite tips for getting Advance Dining Reservations. But the thing is, we don’t ALWAYS have an ADR when we need one. Picture this: It’s dinner time and quick-service just isn’t going to cut it. Is there anywhere in Disney World you can get a last-minute reservation or walk-in?
There sure is! Join us as we take a look at the pretty big list of Disney restaurants where you can snag a last-minute reservation if you play your cards right.
And to help make sure you get GREAT EATS, we’re noting our DFB RECOMMENDED restaurants with a red DFB PREFERRED notation for you. There are plenty of kind of blah restaurants in Disney World that tend to always have dining reservations available…because they’re blah. 😉 Stick with these suggested spots and you’ll be firing on all cylinders!
