Discover Disney Springs’ Exciting Offerings

Disney Springs underwent a major transformation in 2015, revamping its design to reflect Florida’s charming town centers and natural springs. Today, it offers an unparalleled shopping experience. From the massive World of Disney store, which boasts the largest collection of Disney merchandise, to exclusive Disney apparel at Uniqlo, there’s something for every shopper.

Another must-visit is Gideon’s Bakehouse, renowned for its oversized chocolate chip cookies, rich cake slices, and iced coffee. The bakehouse is so popular that a virtual queue is often used to manage guest demand. Recent controversies, including claims of discriminatory practices and unsafe working conditions, have stirred discussions, though the bakehouse has responded to these allegations.

Additionally, Disney Springs was touched by a recent tragedy involving a guest who suffered a fatal allergic reaction after dining at Raglan Road. The resulting lawsuit has sparked further scrutiny and response from Disney.

On a brighter note, since May 24, 2024, Disney Springs has dazzled guests with Dreams That Soar!, a breathtaking nighttime drone show. This nearly 10-minute spectacle brought a taste of theme park magic to the skies above the Springs before concluding on September 2, 2024.

About Thomas Hitchen

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer except when it's One Tree Hill. He loves sandy beach walks, forest hikes, and foodie days out in the Big City. Thomas lives in England, UK, with his fiancée, baby, and their dog, a Border Collie called Luna.
