food IS a theme park
If you are heading to Disney World soon, we want to make sure you are prepared for the closures! There are currently three closures happening at Disney World hotel pools, and we don’t want you to be caught by surprise.
Turtle Shack Pool at Old Key West
It is hard to beat a relaxing day by the pool, so you need to know about these pool closures. The good news is that every hotel with a pool closure has other pools that are open, so you won’t be left without a pool to relax by!
A store has officially reopened in Disney Springs! While this store wasn’t closed for long (only about two weeks), we are happy to see that it has reopened.
Rothy’s is open again!
Rothy’s at Disney Springs closed for a very brief refurbishment earlier this month, and as of September 26th it is back to business as normal. The store has been at Disney Springs for almost two years– it opened back in November 2023. Rothy’s focuses on sustainable and washable shoes and handbags.
We have some bad news about some of our favorite Disney World shoes! We talk about the importance of good shoes while at Disney World a lot. You will be doing a lot of walking, and good shoes will help you spend more time at the parks.
HOKA Rincon 4 Womens Shoes
While there is no perfect pair of shoes for every person, we are huge fans of Hoka shoes here at DFB. Many of our team members wear them at Disney World, so we highly recommend them, and they are one of our favorite shoes. They are super comfortable and perfect for walking miles at Disney World. However, we have some bad news about Hoka shoes!
