As we announced earlier today, a slew of Disney-owned and operated stores are reopening today at Disney Springs, and among the first to welcome back visitors was Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories. The store has reopened with a Virtual Queue system in place similar to the one being used at World of Disney and the Marketplace Co-Op.
Guests arrived early this morning, with lines forming shortly after 8:00 AM, which is the earliest guests are allowed to park at the Orange Garage.
Guests are required to obtain a Virtual Queue reservation to enter the store due to a maximum guest occupancy of 8 people.
We signed up for Virtual Queue around 8:00 AM and received a text to return about 30 minutes later. A Virtual Queue system has been implemented at a number of Disney Springs stores, including World of Disney and the Marketplace Co-Op.

Once inside, there’s a Purell hand sanitizer dispenser, plus a number of signs displaying the new Health and Safety Guidelines. Along the floor, you’ll see 6-feet markers to ensure guests are maintaining physical distance.
Guests are free to browse as they’d like, however any merchandise that is handled must be disinfected.
In order to reduce the amount of merchandise that needs to be taken off the shelves for disinfection, guests are reminded to “help protect the magic” and limit the handling of products as much possible.
As we’ve seen at a number of other restaurants and retailers, plexiglass barriers are in place at registers to protect Cast Members. Guests are encouraged to use contactless payments via Apple Pay or chip-enabled credit cards to complete their purchases.
As always, the store is stocked with a full array of the latest Pandora charms, Loungefly and Dooney & Bourke handbags and backpacks, and Alex and Ani bracelets.
