While restaurant dining rooms, tourist attractions, and hotels are largely closed to the public, some of those brands are sharing their recipes online.
Fans of chains like McDonald's and Nando's, or travelers who love the cookies from DoubleTree hotels, can make some of their favorite snacks and meals at home.
Some chains, like The Cheesecake Factory, have been sharing recipes online for some time.
But Disney has been sharing recipes recently for some of its fan-favorite snacks while its parks are temporarily closed.
Nando's has a list of peri-peri-inspired recipes on its website.
Nando's PERi-PERi sauces are available at grocery stores and online. The chain has an entire section of its website dedicated to recipes that Nando's fans can make with their store-bought sauces.
This is the first time the hotel has released its recipe.
This cookie recipe requires 13 ingredients, takes around half an hour to make, and yields 26 cookies filled with chocolate chips, oats, and walnuts.
The DoubleTree by Hilton hotel has released the recipe for its iconic chocolate chip cookies.
The Cheesecake Factory was posting some of its newest recipes to its website before its dining rooms closed.
The Cheesecake Factory has a library of 19 recipes on its website. While none of them are for the restaurant's famed cheesecake itself, they range from sweet pancakes to savory snacks and dinner items.
A representative for The Cheesecake Factory told Insider that each time new menu items are added at the restaurant, one of them is featured on the chain's site.
Disney also posted the recipe for the grilled cheese sandwich sold at Toy Story Land inside the park.
This grilled cheese sandwich features two types of sliced cheese as well as a garlic spread and a cream cheese spread.
The Disney blog post lists instructions for how to make both spreads as well as how to assemble the entire sandwich.

Dole Whip is a park favorite. While the version sold at Disney is vegan, the recipe that was released on the My Disney Experience app calls for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
There are only three ingredients in this version: ice cream, frozen pineapple, and pineapple juice.
