Monday, March 2
Good morning.
Race weekend's dust has settled—roads clear, but spring vibes are stirring. Passholders, today's your Good to Go playground (no res required). And Disney Springs just dropped a sugar bomb: CrazyShake pop-up opens today, because nothing says "post-marathon recovery" like a milkshake taller than your toddler.
Here's what matters today.
🎯 Top Story
CrazyShake by Black Tap pops up at Disney Springs starting today—limited-time (90 days) indulgence in the old Sprinkles spot, slinging photogenic, piled-high milkshakes.
Why it Matters
Special edition Mickey Mouse Shake (vanilla frosting rim, Mickey sprinkles, crispy treat topper) plus classics like Bam Bam Shake (Fruity Pebbles overload)—prices $16–$19, worth the calories for that "wow" factor.
Opens amid early March lull—beat festival crowds (Flower & Garden starts Wednesday) for shorter lines at this grab-and-go spot.
Disney Springs pulls afternoon hoppers; this adds a sweet detour, but expect buzz building fast.
Planning edge
Hit early (opens ~11 AM) or post-dinner—mid-afternoon could see 20+ min waits as word spreads.
Pair with EPCOT hop: Festival booths previewing nearby, balance savory eats with this sugar hit.
Pro move: Go for shareable sizes; the Special Edition Mickey is kid-approved but adult-sized indulgence.
App check: Mobile order might drop soon—skip the line if it does.
⚡ Daily Disney QUICK HITS
Good to Go day — No res for Passholders today/March 3; target EPCOT for festival teases or MK for lighter vibes.
Villains Land whispers — Rumors ramp: Emperor's New Groove coaster, Maleficent water ride, Hades dinner show for MK expansion.
Spaceship Earth hiccups — Extended downtime at EPCOT; ride AM or have backups—classic tech woes.
RnR closure ripple — Hollywood Studios shifts load to Rise/Tower; Genie+ selling out quicker post-Aerosmith era.
Grand Floridian tea upgrade — Garden View Lounge reopens March 19; reservations open now for fancy afternoon sips.
