An amazing collection of shops that supply your favourite products from the latest Disney attractions. Parking is free in the garages. Coming out of the garage, you go through a security checkpoint and then on into the Springs collection. Be ready for lots of people. Entry is free and there are a lot of restaurants and stores. Everywhere we went was packed out. At the Lego store, there was a line up and the number of people in the store was being monitored and controlled. We waited in line for about 20 minutes and we’re then able to get in. Love the parts wall. Gives us the ability to fill a container with miscellaneous parts. I looked them up online and you actually get quite the deal when you stuff that cup full. The idea is to put in some larger parts first then fill the small spaces with smaller parts and shake them in so it settles them. 👍🏽. We also walked through the Star Wars store and they had all types of collectibles. There were custom made light sabers, in the couple hundred dollar range. Very nice. Oh and we can’t leave out the sudden thunder showers that come through. Carry a compact umbrella or raincoat for when those show up.

Disney Springs is the place to go to enjoy shopping no matter what time you go. With plenty of things to enjoy and shop. They offer several restaurants to choose from or if you want a quick meal on the go. It offers free live entertainment to relax and enjoy. They offer plenty of places to purchase drinks along the way. On our recent trip, we arrived at 4:00 PM and parked in the garage. It took 15 mins to walk from the garage to the gate. You must go through the security check point to enter. Inside offers plenty of popular shops to choose. Each store offers a unique experience to enjoy.

Disney Springs was very nice ! From the parking to all the shops . Shops of all kinds from clothing to a few rides . All kinds of restaurants from BBQ to seafood . We were there only a few hrs and mainly went to the Disney Christmas Store. We spent probably 2hrs hrs there. They have a Lego place all kinds of kids things of course. I didn't think there was so much there to see or we would have made that a whole day . The parking was very interesting the way they have set up to know when the parking levels were full and when spots were open . Very easy to get into from I 4 .

We enjoyed a day of shopping and food. Our place to eat for the day was the Dinosaur eatery. It was pricey for the adult meals but it was absolutely 💯 delicious. The children meals were reasonable and came with a drink. The atmosphere was awesome. They have dinosaurs and various rooms setup. My daughter loved when the lights began to flash and dinosaur noises became louder. It was a fun family outing. We loved the variety of shopping stores and picture opportunities.

Disney Springs is a must stop if you're ever in the Orlando area!! We make it a point to go every time we visit. I suggest going in the evening. It's absolutely beautiful and the weather is tolerable. We LOVE the LEGO store! The figures in front change and creating our own figures is a fun experience every time! Hot air balloon ride is also a must! There are so many unique shops and live music 🎵 Entrance is free!

1/28/23 I was here for a short time . I took a strong dose of my protocol before coming here. By the time I got here I was throwing up and spending too much time In the bathroom . We left quickly . As far as I could see this place is fun and it’s free .
These are the pics I could take. I was too sick that I just didn’t care about taking more pics .
Your children will love this place .

It's worth visiting, but was probably my least favorite part of our Disney trip. It was *incredibly* crowded, way more than any of the parks. I love people watching and I don't mind being in a crowd, but it was so crowded that it was hard to move in the stores and outside. Also, if it's your first stop on your trip, you're in for a rude awakening when you see the prices in the shops and restaurants 😂

I should say that shopping is not something I really enjoy, so if you like shopping then this is your spot.

All that said, it was fun to walk around with our kiddos and see everything lit up at night. If you have a couple hours one night during your trip, stop by and check everything out.

This was our first Disney experience. Even though we did not explore the major theme parks due to budgeting restrictions, we were able to visit Disney Springs once known as Downtown Disney.

I would recommend visiting after the sun goes down to avoid being scorched. The heat in Florida is way different than any other state we have visited. The breeze at night definitely off sets and makes it more enjoyable to be outside and visit the shops.

What a way to see so much without costing a dime. The kids enjoyed the M&Ms shop, Rainforest Cafe, and the T-Rex safari.

We will be back for the Winter show event as we live close by now. I would highly recommend any Disney resort after our visit here today.

Won’t cost you a dime to walk around but you still get the Disney vibe. Lots of great stores to suit everyone’s needs. Great place to buy your souvenirs so you don’t have to walk around the parks with your wares.
