Friends, who wants a bite to eat? If you’re starving for a morsel of Disney magic in Orlando, you’ll be able to get a taste of it as soon as May 20th. It’s been a long and hungry two months, but as reported on Disney Parks Blog on May 7th, Disney Springs will begin reopening to guests in a multi-phased approach, beginning May 20th.
