House of Blues at Disney Springs has reopened following the COVID-19 shutdown in mid-March.

The restaurant will celebrate its return with music and the launch of the “Get Some, Give Some” meal-matching campaign to aid in the battle against hunger. For every single entrée purchased for dine in or takeout, House of Blues will provide one meal to Covenant House of Florida, whose mission is dedicated to serving all God’s children, with absolute respect and unconditional love, to guide youth experiencing homelessness, and to protect and safeguard all youth in need. Through this philanthropic campaign, House of Blues hopes to provide hundreds of meals to youth in need in their community.

“This has been such a difficult time these past few months, not just for our city but for communities everywhere,” said Jason Petrina, General Manager House of Blues Orlando. “Our ‘Get Some, Give Some’ campaign will help feed our neighborhoods through our partnership with Covenant House of Florida. “Needed now more than ever, Covenant House of Florida does amazing work for our community; and together, we hope to be able to get meals to those struggling.

“Combined with a musical experience featuring some great local artists, we're hoping to create a welcome return to a bit of excellent food and entertainment that everyone has been missing in Orlando.”

Available for both dine-in and take-out, operating hours are Monday - Friday 4pm to 9pm, and Saturday - Sunday 12pm to 9pm.

Are there certain times when they do security at Disney Springs or something? We were dropped off via bus there from our resort a few weeks back and did not have to go through any security other than a guy with a dog (they were off to the side of the entrance, not explicitly stopping guests). I remember going through the security there when arriving via bus before on past trips, but that was later in the day I suppose.

The footprint has shrunk a little and there’s much less extended queue space, but it still knocks out a few rows of parking. Not sure what they can do about that really, especially in Lime there’s just no space for a checkpoint otherwise.

FTFY!

With temp checks gone, have they found a better way to streamline the security in the garages yet? It was taking up far too many spaces with the layout before.

The "front porch" live music is back, but not inside yet.

Has live entertainment returned to the performance space inside of House of Blues yet? That and Cirque dumping large groups of people outside who were likely hungry and thirsty was a big driver of places staying open later.

Guessing so... No one standing outside of Enzo's saying, "I demand to be served" at 2am... :)

More like demand is down at this time

I'm usually only there at night. I've eaten QS dinner and then had gelato or something for dessert sometime between 9-10 several times. It's better food than eating anywhere in the parks.

What's up with Cirque Du Soleil? It was an item now the silence is defining.

Covid only spreads between 11:30 pm and dawn? Interesting.

Whatever time DS closes is purely a business decision made by Disney. Closing DS early reduces costs for Disney, like so many other cost cutting decisions Disney made in the name of COVID. You do have to wonder, DS is a glorified mall with tenants. I have to imagine in the lease DS must agree to be open some minimum hours, but who knows, perhaps the lease contracts are heavily one sided to Disney because location, location, location..
