The popular fitness shop remains open while it undergoes some extensive work in the larger half of the store. Changes Coming to the Fit2Run Disney Springs Location On a recent visit to Disney Springs, we noticed a significant portion of the Fit2Run store have been temporarily walled off, presumably for some form of refurbishment or reorganization. The location has not officially announced the nature of the work. A portion of the space appears to remain open while work is underway on the larger walled off section. Fit2Run is a specialty running and athletic footwear retailer focused on runners, walkers, and fitness-minded customers. Founded in 2006, the company is headquartered in Florida and operates dozens of brick-and-mortar locations primarily across Florida, with additional stores in select Southeastern U.S. markets and Puerto Rico. The brand markets itself as “The Runner’s Superstore,” positioning its stores as destination hubs for both performance athletes and everyday fitness participants. Fit2Run stores offer an assortment of running and training footwear, performance apparel, and accessories from major athletic brands such as Brooks, ASICS, HOKA, Nike, On, and others. The store chain initially occupied another location in Disney Springs closer to the former-NBA Experience building. The current location is located in the Town Center area among the shops in the enclosed walkway section between Planet Hollywood and the Disney Springs Welcome Center. The store moved to its current location in late 2020. You can find additional photos of how the space originally/typically looks in our previous report.

A Florida family says they were left “shaken up” after allegedly being accused of shoplifting in an incident involving their autistic 7-year-old daughter during their visit to Epic Universe, according to a new report from PEOPLE. While visiting Super Nintendo World, a major draw for their daughter due to her “fixation” of Mario, the family entered the 1-Up Factory gift shop. There, the child selected a $16 Mario keychain. According to Nikki Daou, the mother and the family’s attorney, Eric “Rick” Block, of Morgan & Morgan, the store was crowded and prompted concerns about her daughter’s sensory overload. Daou then removed the barcode sticker from the keychain and handed it to her husband, who remained inside the store to complete the purchase, while Daou exited the store with her daughter and the item in hand. Moments later, the family alleges an unidentified Universal employee accused them of shoplifting outside the store. Despite attempts to explain that the child’s father was still inside with the barcode to pay, Block claims the family was escorted to another location where they were “interrogated” by park officials. The family was then allegedly issued a one-year no-trespass warning and instructed to leave the park immediately. “It was a traumatizing, and horrible and embarrassing situation, one that we will remember for the rest of our lives,” said Daou The family later received a letter from Universal’s attorneys demanding a $200 civil penalty for allegedly “intentionally” depriving the park of merchandise without payment. Daou strongly denies the allegation, stating, “Whether it was a dollar, $20 or $500, we wouldn’t have stolen it.” Block says he has since sent a demand letter to Universal alleging negligence, abuse of process, libel, and false imprisonment. He emphasized that the family is not seeking financial compensation and would instead donate any potential settlement to an autism-focused charity. “We really just want change. It’s important people understand we’re not asking for money,” Daou says. But, she claims, “I do want people held accountable for not complying with their own Universal guidelines and procedures when it comes to ADA and disabilities.” Nikki Daou, is a paralegal for Morgan & Morgan. Universal Orlando Resort has not commented at this time. For the latest Disney Parks news and info, follow WDW News Today on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

The live-action Lilo & Stitch, Andor, and Wicked: For Good are among the nominees for the 63rd annual International Cinematographers Guild Publicists Award. ‘Lilo & Stitch,’ ‘Andor,’ ‘Wicked’ Nominated for ICG Publicists Award Variety reported the news, sharing that both Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch and Universal’s Wicked: For Good publicity teams are nominated for the Maxwell Weinberg Award for motion picture publicity. Those nominated include “unit publicists, individual publicists, studio publicists, as well as unit still photographers and members of the media.” The other film nominees are KPop Demon Hunters, Sinners, and Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Meanwhile, the critically-acclaimed Disney+ series Andor is nominated for the flagship Maxwell Weinberg Award for Television publicity campaign. Andor is a prequel to the events of Star Wars: Rogue One and currently has two seasons on the streaming platform. The live-action Lilo and Stitch was one of only two films to earn over $1 billion at the box office last year, the other being Zootopia 2. Wicked: For Good, the continuation of the smash hit Wicked: Part One, performed well in preview screenings but did not have the blockbuster endurance of its predecessor, despite having a record 400-plus marketing brand partnerships to accompany its release. However, Universal says it is “figuring out” how to keep the Wicked franchise going. For the latest Disney Parks news and info, follow WDW News Today on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Guests and visitors to Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort can carry their park essentials in this new Contemporary-themed tote bag. Contemporary Resort Canvas Tote – $19.99 The tote bag is an off-white color color across its canvas material. The face of the bag prominently features a graphic of the iconic A-frame tower of the Contemporary Resort in a white-blue color scheme. Behind the tower, a yellow minimalist sunset contrasts against the bright white and dark blues of the resort building. A monorail – specifically monorail red – can be seen swooping out of the tower, over some trees, towards the right edge of the tote. The direction of travel would suggest that the graphic specifically depicts the north face of the building, closer to the Magic Kingdom side. The bottom of the bag features the full logo of Disney’s Contemporary Resort in a matching blue. Location We found this new bag at Bayview gifts in the Grand Canyon Concourse at the Contemporary Resort. Let us know on social media if you plan on grabbing this Contemporary tote.

Guests at Downtown Disney can enjoy a limited time opportunity to create their own custom Starbucks tumblers with Disneyland’s 70th anniversary designs. Create Your Own Starbucks Tumbler at Disney Home in Downtown Disney On a recent visit to Downtown Disney, we discovered a new “Create Your Own Tumbler” experience in the Disney Home store located near the center of the shopping district. The custom designs and product offering from Starbucks appear to be specifically promoting Disneyland’s 70th anniversary. Visitors can choose from an array of tumbler cups, Mickey-ear-shaped lids, and colorful straws to create a customized Starbucks tumbler, mixing and matching the afforementioned elements from six variants of Disneyland-centric designs. In the image above on the bottom center shelf, you can see six examples of the custom tumblers created using matching elements from each of the six designs. Positioned above that shelf, to the left and right of the Disneyland 70th signage, six other tumblers are displayed showcasing some examples of mixing the different design elements available. Disneyland 70th Create Your Own Tumbler – $59.99 Each completed tumbler (the combined product including a tumbler body, Mickey topper, and straw) is priced at $59.99. We’ll take a closer look at some of the different tumbler options below: The six designs can be identified by their dominant color scheme. Looking at the tumbler cups themselves, there are gold, chrome, blue, peach, teal, and confetti options to choose from. The gold tumbler features a sparkling gold base coast overlaid with a graphic of the classic Disneyland signage, accompanied by the iconic descriptor, “The Happiest Place on Earth”. The top rim and interior walls are a light red peach hue in color. The chrome tumbler features a stylized map of Disneyland in a white and dark blue color scheme. The base coat shows shimmering chrome appearance depending on the lightning. The top rim and interior continue the dark blue color scheme. The blue tumbler features the Disneyland D – specifically styled after the collection’s version of the Disneyland 70th logo – with Mickey emerging from within the D and waving a penant. The red penant emits a trail of red stars flowing across the heigh of the cup. The base color and the penant accents have a glossy finish. This peach version prominently features Tinkerbell positioned in front of the D logo and a trail of pixie dust across the cup. The base has a sparkling finish to it, and the overall color and the interior lining continues the peach coloration. This teal tumbler prominently features the original Disneyland signage logo, with the singular D logo patterned across the cup’s surface and accented with twinkling star graphics. The teal color appears almost translucent against a glossy interior base. Lastly, a “confetti” style tumbler featuring Mickey again with the penant rounds out the custom options. The multicolored dotted pattern is evocative of celebratory confetti and visually suggestive of a smooth, dotted texture. The interior lining is a solid lighter peach hue compared to the colors seen on the Tinkerbell or gold variants. Mickey Ears Tumbler Lids Each of the primary tumbler designs has a matching Mickey ears lid to go with it – or to mix-and-match as you like across disparate designs. As such they follow the same schemes in solid colors of gold, chrome, blue, light red, teal, and peach pink. Choose Your Own Straw Three straw designs are available for the collection, covering the collection’s dominant colors of dark blue, peach, and a rotating striped pattern of light peach, light teal, blue, and white. Notably this suggests that the gold and chrome variants are likely intended to align with the peach and dark blue straws, respectively. Between the six tumbler bodies, six lids, and three straws, it’s technically possible for a visitor to choose from 120 different create-your-own tumbler designs. Mystery Silicone Toppers – $12.99 If 120 possible designs isn’t enough for you, you can add some extra flare to your Starbucks tumbldr with one of these new “Surprise Silicone Topper” options. In keeping with the recent trend of mystery box collectibles, visitors can pickup a straw topper featuring one of five Disneyland 70th designs, with a sixth possibility of a red-lidded Starbucks coffee cup (an inversion on their famous red cup specials). The Disneyland designs included two blue variants of the D logo, a blue Disneyland Resort penant, and a pair of light blue Mickey ears. We found this collection available to customize at the Disney Home store near the center of the Downtown District at Disneyland Resort.
