We were at Disney Springs yesterday, and I had a fun time, even if we didn’t do much. But, I’ve done a lot (sort of) in Disney Springs, so I think I’m qualified to tell you about it.
First of all, Disney Springs is divided up into three sections: The Marketplace, The Landing, and West Side.
There is so much to do in each of these three sections. This includes shopping, dining, and (sometimes) entertainment. I have a lot of recommendations, and hopefully you’ll decide to make Disney Springs part of your Walt Disney World vacation. But first, you have to understand the rules.
Rules
Disney Springs’ mask rules are the same as the rest of WDW. Technically, you have to wear your mask inside if you are inside, but you really don’t have to. They didn’t even make little kids, who were clearly not vaccinated, inside without masks. This goes the same for the entire Disney World.
Here is a question that apparently gets asked a lot on the Disney Springs website: Are you allowed to use rideshare drop-offs? The answer is yes. If you are being dropped off or you are dropping someone off, you go to the front where the Disney buses drop people off and pick them up. Cars/vans can do that as well. If you are using Uber or Lyft, they will drop you off there, as well.
All of the stores in Disney Springs, even if it’s not owned by Disney, has the same mask mandates as the rest of Disney, but they aren’t being enforced.. Social distancing is no longer being promoted throughout Disney Springs, and markers are being removed everywhere.
So those are the general rules. If you have any questions, go to Guest Relations in Disney Springs, or ask any Cast Member working there.
Shops
There are so many different shops and boutiques, and here’s all of them:
Alex and Ani
Alex and Ani is a jewelry company. It is not owned by Disney, but they do have some fun Disney jewelry. You can buy some of this in the merchandise shops, but the store is Disney Springs is much bigger and has a lot more of their products. If you need more jewelry-or just want it-this is a great brand. I have two bracelets and a pair of earrings from them, and I totally recommend. They range from big and bulky to small and simple, so you’ll probably find something you like there.
American Threads
American Threads is a women’s clothing store. Because I am only fourteen, and kind of small for my age, I have never shopped there, but it looks like their clothing is pretty nice by looking at their website (https://www.shopamericanthreads.com/). If you want more clothing, you might find something you like there. Who knows? But you might just want to look in there to check.
Anthropologie
Anthropolgie is another women’s clothing store. I have never shopped there (see American Threads above), but you might find something you like if you look there, so I recommend checking it out if you have time.
The Art Corner by Artistic Talent Group
At the Art Corner, you are able to get personalized artwork as gifts for both you and people you love. I have never actually been inside of this building, but it is very hard to miss. Just keep walking past the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain, and you’ll see it. The sign is bright and colorful, and it looks like it was splattered in paint.
The Art of Disney
At The Art of Disney, you can buy anything from framed paintings to figurines. Imagine the The Festival of the Arts, but all year long. I love looking at amazing art work, because I wish I could be that good, so it’s amazing to see what other people did. That’s part of what makes Festival of the Arts my favorite. You don’t even have to buy anything; you can just look. That’s what I do a lot.
The Art of Shaving
I’m not joking. This is a real store. It sells everything a man needs to shave. Because I’m not a man, and never will be one, I’ve never had the need to go into here, but I’ve heard it’s actually a pretty good store. You can also go here for a man, even if you don’t need to shave.
Basin
Basin is a bath and body company. They have all kinds of stuff to make you relax and feel nice. I have never shopped here, but it seems like a nice company, just by looking on their website.
Maybe you like taking care of yourself a lot, so why don’t you treat yourself to some Basin products? I think you should check it out if you have time.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
This is more than shopping: it is a full experience. Unfortunately, both Disney World locations are closed for safety reasons. I am too old for it now, but it was so much fun when we did it. You can go in to buy a costume (read Disney’s costume rules before doing so), but you cannot have the full makeover experience. You are allowed to wear your own costume or outfit if you would like, or you can buy one of Disney’s. Madelyn and I wore our own dresses and Elliot wore a shirt that my mom had made because Disney’s costumes can be incredibly expensive.
If you are thirteen or younger, you can do this experience, and I recommend it. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done at Disney World. Ever. I still have my sash, bag, makeup, and face stickers from it.
The BOATHOUSE® BOATIQUE
I have never shopped at this Boatique, but it looks like it has pretty nice merchandise, judging from their website.
It’s also a pretty creative name for a company, which I like.
BUILD-A-DINO® by Build-A-Bear Workshop® at T-REX™
I have never done this specific experience, but I have done Build-A-Bear Workshop® a few times before. It was a lot of fun when I was younger.
Bringing your toy to life is really a special thing to a lot of kids, so if you get the chance, do it.
Chapel Hats
This is a hat store, obviously. If you want a hat, this is where you can pick it up. I don’t believe they sell Disney hats, but some non-Disney stores in Disney Springs do have Disney merchandise, so you can check.
Coach
Coach is a women’s clothing and apparel store. When I looked online, small purses, like the one below, are all over $200.
Clothing is also pretty expensive, judging from their website. I guess if you are looking for expensive, new clothing, this is the place to shop, but I would never spend $1,000 on a jacket. (That’s what they cost. Seriously.)
Coca-Cola Store
This store is very hard to miss: it is a three story glass building with the words “Coca-Cola” printed above the entrance. They have all kind of Coca-Cola apparel, from T-shirts to mugs. You can also get Coca-Cola samples there.
Columbia Sportswear
We all know what Columbia Sportswear is. If you don’t, well it’s in its name. It’s sportswear. Maybe you are a runner. I’m not. But, you can check out what they have if you want. And, they have things for more than just running. They have for fishing, hiking, and more.
Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers
This is an amazing art store. Not that I’ve ever shopped there. But, the artwork looks amazing. Just look at that Dumbo figurine by them.
That is just one of many things that you can buy from the Arribas Brothers that you can decorate your home with. It’s so cool that they set some crystals in it, and it looks even better then it would have if they left it plain. And, it wasn’t incredibly expensive, at only $40.00 on shopDisney.
Dino Store at T-REX™
At the Dino Store, you can buy everything dinosaur. Honestly, I think Elliot would love this store. He loves science, animals, and facts, so this would be fun for him. I’ve never even been inside of this store, but it sounds cool.
Disney PhotoPass® Studio
When you are on a Disney vacation, you will see photo people. Those are PhotoPass® people. PhotoPass® is a service that allows you to have unlimited photos taken in the parks, and when you purchase Memory Maker with it, you can download whichever photos you would like.
The PhotoPass® studio lets you take pictures in front of digital backgrounds. During the summer there are 4th of July backgrounds, and of course there are other seasonal backgrounds. It is a lot of fun to do this experience after you are done in the Bibbidi Bobbodi Boutique.
Disney Pin Traders
I personally love this store. At this store, you can buy pins, trade pins, and buy some other stuff, including MagicBands. You can also buy lanyards and see Disney’s newest pins. They have pretty much all the pins available at the Walt Disney World resort.
Disney’s Candy Cauldron
Disney’s Candy Cauldron is a candy shop, where you can buy intricate candy apples (as shown above), flavored popcorn, and more. You can also watch Cast Members at work making these treats.
Disney’s Wonderful World of Memories
At Disney’s Wonderful World of Memories, you can get things like personalized ear hats, leather items, and seasonal merchandise. To me, this place sounds amazing, because I love ears.
DisneyStyle
DisneyStyle is a clothing store, but they also have ears and decorative stuff. I have never actually bought anything there, but it is a bright and colorful store, and sort of reminds me of summer. They have character inspired clothing, which is really hard to find in the parks, and I have only really been able to find on Amazon, and at Walmart and Target here in Orlando. I like to have the authentic, and it’s great to know that there is a place where I can get it, even if it’s kind of expensive.
Disney’s Days of Christmas
This store sells Disney Christmas stuff all year long, just like the Ye Ole Christmas Shop in Magic Kingdom. (I have also seen Starbucks ornaments in the merchandise stores lately.) I don’t celebrate Christmas because I’m Jewish, but I have seen some of the ornaments. In fact, I have a Cinderella picture frame ornament on my shelf in Michigan. They are pretty good quality, and a lot of Disney fans just need a Disney ornament to make their Christmases even better.
Edward Beiner Purveyor of Fine Eyewear
Edward Beiner Purveyor of Fine Eyewear is an eyeglasses store. Wow. Elliot needs this. He always loses glasses at Disney World. I really know nothing about this store, so I’m not sure if it’s good, but maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.
Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories
This Disney-owned shop sells Disney jewelry from Alex & Ani, and Crislu and Pandora® Jewelry. They also sell Loungeflys, as shown above. Of course, you can also visit the Alex and Ani shop in Disney Springs, but they might have more Disney-themed items in Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories.
Everything But Water
Everything But Water is exactly what it sounds like: a women’s swim suit company. They have swim suits in every style and color: from plain, one pieces to colorful bikinis. If you forgot a bathing suit, or just want a new one, there will most likely be something you like.
eyCatchers Cart
You’ve probably seen these before. The first time I ever saw one was in my “old” neighborhood in Michigan in someone’s backyard. Well technically, it was three, and I’ll explain it in a minute. The ones I first saw were Disney, but there is also other designs, like the one in the photo above. They also have carts in each of the Disney World parks. When you buy eyCatchers, there are three sizes: big, small, and medium. You can attach them together, and it looks cool when you do so. We’ve been looking at getting some for the past couple years, and I constantly walk by the carts in the Disney parks.
Face Painting Kiosk by Enjoy Your Face
This experience is currently closed for safety reasons, but I am hopeful that a new wave of things will open back up as more people get vaccinated. By the way, did you hear about the Boo Bash? But, because this is not owned by Disney, there is no way to know when it will open. I think that it will probably reopen around the time that Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will open, but there is no word about that.
Fit2Run, The Runner’s Superstore
Fit2Run is a running store, but that’s kind of obvious. They sell things like running shoes, sports wear, and anything you need to run. I don’t shop here. I am not a runner. I am a swimmer, and I’m not pretending otherwise, but I think this store holds everything someone running a marathon would need.
francesca’s®
francesca’s® is a clothing store for women. It has clothes for all occasions, according to Disney Springs. They have jeans, dresses, shoes, bags, and more. Of course, I have never shopped here before, but you might want to.
Free People
Free People is a women’s clothing store. (I just realized how many of those Disney Springs has.)
They have shoes, shirts, dresses, scrunchies, bathing suits, and more, in just their May Collection.
The Ganachery
All the treats at The Ganachery are made of chocolate! These treats are:
- Chocolate lollipops
- Crispy chocolate pearls
- Custom chocolate bars
- Seasonal items
Doesn’t that sound amazing? My grandma would love this store.
Goofy’s Candy Company
Goofy’s Candy Company is, well, a candy company. You’ve probably seen stuff from it throughout Disney World. It comes in colorful packaging and has Goofy’s face on it. It is sold in merchandise stores, as well as the shop in Disney Springs. I have heard it is really good, although I cannot have it because of Kosher.
Happy Hound
Happy Hound has everything your dog might need: between collars, chew toys, and more, your dog really will be happy. It’s not really a store; it’s a kiosk. And, your dog will love you forever if you think of him or her while you are on vacation.
Havaianas
Havaianas is famous for their flip flops, but that’s not the only thing that they sell. They sell all kinds of stuff, including T-shirts. They mainly sell flip flops, though. If you want a pair of Disney flip flops, this is the place to get them.
House of Blues Gear Shop
The House of Blues Gear Shop sells shirts, hats, mugs, and more. If you like the House of Blues, you should check out this shop. You might find something you like, but you’ll never know until you look.
Initial Rings
At Initial Rings in Disney Springs, you can get Disney rings, as well as other personalized rings. There is a variety of options, including widths and metals. These would make a great gift, and they will be cherished forever.
JOHNNY WAS
JOHNNY WAS is a women’s clothing store, selling shirts, dresses, shoes, and more.
The items at this store is kind of expensive. The dress above is $278.00. That seems like a rather expensive dress, but I don’t know much about women’s clothing pricing, to tell you the truth. But, I’m assuming that’s a lot of money for a dress.
Johnston & Murphy
Johnston & Murphy is a women’s, men’s, and boy’s clothing and shoe store. In the picture above, you can see a women’s shoe and a men’s shoe.
If you want new clothes for people in your family, you can shop here. The stuff here isn’t too expensive, with most of the women’s shoes just barely reaching $100.00. (I found out that that’s not super expensive for women’s shoes.)
Kate Spade New York
Unlike most of these stores, we actually have stuff from Kate Spade New York. Well, not this exact store, but from the company. We have silverware from them, and we’ve had it for a long time. It’s still in good shape. But, Kate Spade New York doesn’t just have silverware. In the photo above, you can see clothing, hats, purses, and jewelry. In fact, they have quite a lot of purses. Just look at the one below.
I think that is absolutely adorable, and if I had the money for it, I would get it.
Lacoste
Lacoste is a clothing store. They have dresses (see below), shirts (see above), bags, shoes, and more.
They have so much stuff, I’m sure you’ll find something you like there.
Lefty’s – The Left-Hand Store
Lefty’s – The Left-Hand Store is a place where left-handed people can get stuff for themselves. I am not left-handed, except in sports, but it seems like a fun shop.
The LEGO® Store
The LEGO® Store is amazing. The first thing you’ll notice is outside: the huge statues made out of LEGOs. The newest one is the Frozen II one. There is also a mural made out of LEGOs outside of the entrance. You can buy individual pieces or whole sets here. And, there is a cool personalized minifigure experience where you can make a minifigure look like you. We are going to do it, but you need a reservation, so we have to make one. There are also cool screens where you can see what the sets will look like when they are built. You can also get a 10% discount if you are an annual passholder to Disney World.
Levi’s
Levi’s is a clothing store for women and men. They have shorts, shirts, and more. The shorts below are $49.50, which is in the middle of the price range for women’s shorts.
Levi’s price ranges stay around the same of these shorts for pretty much everything, so be prepared to buy a $100.00 outfit.
Lilly Pulitzer®
Lilly Pulitzer is a women’s clothing store. Their clothing is very colorful. Just look at this dress.
The prices are all around or over $100, so keep that in mind if you have a budget.
Lovepop
Lovepop is a card company. They have themes like Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, and more. They have a huge selection, so if you are looking to celebrate something, or just cheer someone up, this is a fun way to do so.
The cards are around $15 apiece, and they are so adorable.
lululemon®
lululemon® is a sports apparel company for women and men. They have exercise shorts, shirts, leggings, and everything you need to exercise that is clothing. The clothing is a little bit expensive compared to other brands, but it is supposed to be a really good brand. And, this is a new edition to Disney Springs.
Luxury of Time by Diamonds International
Luxury of Time is a watch and jewelry company. They don’t have the cheap watches you can buy on Amazon, these are luxury watches. They have many expensive brands of both jewelry and watches.
L’Occitane en Provence
L’Occitane en Provence is a beauty and bath store. They sell creams, lotions, and other things like that. It is very expensive. The cream below is a whopping $110.00 for one bottle.
M&M’S
We all love M&Ms, right? Well, There is now a Disney Springs location, where you can get personalized M&Ms! My favorite flavor is either the caramel M&Ms, or the crunchy mint M&Ms. What’s your favorite? Put it in the comments.
MAC Cosmetics
MAC Cosmetics is a cosmetics store (obviously). You can get makeup there if you run out while traveling, or if you just live here in Florida (but it may be a little bit more expensive than a non-Disney Springs store). As you can see in the photo, they have a huge selection, so you are sure to find something that you like.
Market Place Co-Op
At Market-Place Co-Op, you’ll be able to find pretty much you might need: candles, centerpieces, clothing, art, and more! You might walk in for one thing, and come out with ten. As you can see in just the picture above, they have a lot of stuff in all kinds of different colors.
Marketplace Co-Op – Bowes Signature Candles
There are many parts to Marketplace Co-Op, and this is one of them. At Bowes Signature Candles, you can buy, well, candles. You don’t even have to burn them. I have some good smelling ones on display in my bathroom.
Those candles look so nice, and I definitely choose to put them on display.
Marketplace Co-Op – D-Tech on Demand
D-Tech on Demand is another section of Marketplace Co-Op where you can make custom Disney phone cases. If you have an Android, you can get a phone case here, which you can’t in the parks. Even if you have an iPhone, you can get a case here. You can put your name and your favorite character on your case, so it’s something personal.
Marketplace Co-Op – Disney Centerpiece
Disney Centerpiece sells kitchenware, table centerpieces, and more, all Disney-themed. It is another Marketplace Co-Op store. You can get some of this stuff on Main Street U.S.A, but you can get more here. You will also be able to get this stuff on shopDisney.
Marketplace Co-Op – Disney Cruise Line Pop-Up Shop
I have never been on a Disney Cruise, but it is on my bucket list. My rule for myself is unless I’ve been on a Disney Cruise, or I’m going to go on one, I will not buy any Disney Cruise Line merchandise. (This goes the same for any place). But, for those of you have been on a Disney Cruise, or you are planning on going on one, you can get what you need for your trip here. Remember, you can also get Disney Cruise Line stuff on shopDisney.
Marketplace Co-Op – Disney Tails
Disney Tails is Disney apparel for your dogs. I am going to get Gus a pair of ears and a vest with a leash. He will get the last two when he stops growing, and the ears when he goes a week without chewing on anything but his toys for one week. They have toys, leashes, ears, and anything that your dog needs, Disney style.
Marketplace Co-Op – The Dress Shop on Cherry Tree Lane
First of all, I love the name. If you are a true Disney fan, you know what Cherry Tree Lane is. I think it is a cute Easter egg and nod to Mary Poppins. The Dress Shop on Cherry Tree Lane sells dresses, Loungeflys (see photo above), and other things that a woman needs.
As a Marvel fan, I think the dress above is a little fancy, but also a little simple, and I like it. You can buy most dresses and bags at The Dress Shop in the parks as well.
Marketplace Co-Op – WonderGround Gallery
WonderGround Gallery is a store that sells Disney art. You can buy this art at The Festival of the Arts, but you can also buy it here all year round. So, if you miss The Festival of the Arts, you can buy your Disney art all year here at this store.
Melissa Shoes
Melissa Shoes doesn’t just have plain shoes, they also have Disney shoes! They have plenty of Minnie Mouse shoes, so even if you can’t find them in the store, you can find them online. Just look at these Minnie Mouse shoes for girls.
These would also be fun to wear in the parks, if you can tolerate not wearing sneakers for long periods of time, which I can’t.
Memory Lanes
Do you want to go bowling while you are on vacation at Walt Disney World? Well, guess what? Disney World actually has a bowling alley. Memory Lanes hours are 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It is located next to AMC®.
Na Hoku – Hawaii’s Finest Jewelers Since 1924
Na Hoku is a Hawaiian jewelry company. Their jewelry uses real stones, so it will be a little expensive. And, the jewelry is just so pretty. Just take a look at this necklace.
This necklace may be pretty, but it is over $1,000, so remember that when you are shopping in Disney Springs.
NBA Store
Unfortunately, due to health and safety reasons, the NBA Store is currently closed. But, when it does open back up, all of you basketball fans can shop here. As you can see, there are shirts, jerseys, hats, bags, and more. There is a chance that you’ll find your NBA team’s jersey, but we have not been able to find Detroit Pistons merchandise at Disney World yet. (I don’t care that Detroit teams are really bad. I’m from there, so that’s who I root for.) And by the way, we looked at Cast Connections, and the parks during and after the NBA played at Disney World over the summer. So, like I was saying, hopefully you’ll find your team.
Oakley
Oakley is a sports equipment company. They have nice sunglasses, with most pairs around $80. In addition to sunglasses, Oakley has football helmets, prescription glasses, and all kinds of other things you can use to play sports or exercise. I believe my dad has a pair of prescription sunglasses. You can shop online as well as in store.
Once Upon a Toy
Once Upon a Toy is a toy store where they sell Disney Toys. You can get lightsabers (as shown above), Toy Story toys based on the ones from the movies (Buzz, Bo Peep, Woody, etc.), and so many more awesome toys. At Once Upon a Toy, you’ll be able to find something for everyone, no matter who their favorite character is.
Origins
Origins is a skincare and body company. They have lotions, creams, soap, and anything else that will make you feel nice. As you can see in the photo, Origins has a wide selection of products to help you look and feel beautiful.
Orlando Harley-Davidson®
You probably know what Harley-Davidson is, but if you don’t, it’s a motorcycle company. And, in addition to selling motorcycles, they also sell gear that you need for your motorcycle, and also just apparel that you can have, even if you don’t have a motorcycle.
Pandora Jewelry
Pandora Jewelry is a really nice jewelry company. Their most popular product is their charm bracelets. While I don’t have any Pandora Jewelry items, a lot of my cousins have the aforementioned charm bracelets. At the store in Disney Springs, not only you can buy all kinds of stuff that you can buy at any other Pandora Jewelry store, you can also buy special Disney charms that you can’t get anywhere else. I once saw a super adorable Belle charm, which even my cousin who is a huge Disney fan doesn’t have, because you can’t get them anywhere else.
Pearl Factory
At pearl factory, you can buy jewelry with naturally round pearls. There is over 135 different pieces of jewelry, all custom made for you. You can watch as a Cast Member makes your jewelry, and voila! You have a unique gift, whether it’s for yourself, or for somebody else.
First of all, for those of you who aren’t American, soccer is football to you. We just already had football (American football), so we had to come up with a new name for a sport. Pelé Soccer is a soccer (or football, whatever you want to call it). It sells jerseys, cleats, balls, and anything else you might need to play soccer. I don’t play soccer, so I don’t really know what you need to play. But, Madelyn used to “play”, so I have some idea.
Pop Gallery
Pop Gallery is an art kiosk, with all kinds of paintings. They are really colorful, and there is really something for everyone.
And, they do have Disney artwork, in addition to others.
Rainforest Café Retail Village at Disney Springs Marketplace
We have all heard of Rainforest Café, even if we haven’t eaten there. There is not one location, but two at Disney World. One is in Animal Kingdom, and the other is in Disney Springs. Both have shops. At these shops, you can buy safari-themed toys, clothing, and more. And, while you’re at it, you can sit down and eat a meal.
Ron Jon Surf Shop
The Ron Jon Surf Shop in Disney Springs isn’t a regular one: it has special Disney stuff that you can’t get anywhere else. Ron Jon Surf Shop is really common around Florida, but this one is special, like I just said. You can get some of the same stuff as you can at any Ron Jon, though. And, you don’t even have to surf to shop there!
Rustic Cuff
Rustic Cuff is a bracelet company. They have bracelets with crosses (if you are Christian), with American flags, and all kinds of other fun designs. Just take a look at these bracelets.
They have so many fun designs, and if you want to check it out before you go, go to rusticcuff.com.
Sanuk
Sanuk is a shoe company. They have sandals, slip-on, and more, for men, women, and kids. Just take a look at these sandals.
I believe that my mom used to have a pair of these, and when I tried them on, they were really comfortable. In addition to being comfortable, they are also really cute.
Savannah Bee Company
Savannah Bee Company is another bath and beauty company, with creams, lotions, and soaps. The packaging looks beautiful, and the products is made with beeswax, just like Bert’s Bees. They also have actual honey, makeup, and clothing. They also sell fabric bags.
Sephora
Sephora is a hair and beauty store. They have skincare lotions, makeup, perfume, and tools to apply these things. Disney Springs has a lot of these stores, so it’s great to have options. You can get all the makeup you need at Sephora.
Shop for Ireland
At Shop for Ireland, you can buy Ireland apparel. And, it’s actually imported from Ireland itself. You can buy jewelry, shirts, cookbooks with Irish recipes, and more. They have so much, and because it is from the real country, I consider it authentic.
Shore
Shore is a clothing store for men, women, and kids. They have bathing suits, shirts, pants, dresses, and more. Just take a look at this bathing suit and hat.
Silhouette Portraits at Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers
We actually got this done once. They have these places all over the parks, and we got it done in Magic Kingdom, on Main Street, U.S.A. Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of them, because they are in Michigan, but my dad will hopefully bring them back down. The Cast Members know what they are doing, and it will turn out perfect, down to the last detail. It also doesn’t take a long time to do. Disney gift cards are accepted, but annual passholder discounts do not apply. I’m not a Disney Vacation Club member, but I’m assuming that the discount does not apply here as well.
Sosa Family Cigars
While Disney is strictly non-smoking (except in special places), you can buy tobacco in Disney Springs, at Sosa Family Cigars. While I think that smoking is gross (not to mention that it is bad for your health), people do it. I believe that this is the only place at WDW where you can buy tobacco.
Sperry
Sperry is a shoe and accessories company. And guess what? For pride month, they even have pride shoes! Sperry makes stuff for men, women, and kids. They have so many different shoes that I’m sure you’ll find something you like.
The Spice & Tea Exchange®
I think it’s kind of obvious what The Spice & Tea Exchange® sells: tea and spices. I’m a huge tea fan, and so is the rest of my family. I think we should definitely check out this store.
Stance
Stance is a socks and underwear company for men and women. Their socks are so bright and colorful, almost as good as my Forky socks, or my Winnie the Pooh socks, which are both amazing. They have high socks, low socks, and no show socks, in pretty much any color imaginable.
Star Wars™ Galactic Outpost
Guess what Star Wars™ Galactic Outpost sells? Star Wars merchandise! You can buy all of your favorite Star Wars stuff, right in this store. This includes lightsabers, shirts, other toys, pins, and more! And, guess what? This isn’t the only Star Wars store in Disney Springs. Just take a look at the next one.
Star Wars™ Trading Post
Star Wars™ Trading Post is another Star Wars store in Disney Springs. That’s actually where Madelyn and I bought Elliot’s birthday present. You can get the astromech droids there, but it is the same price as the custom ones in Hollywood Studios, so I recommend you do that instead of buying it here. It is such a cool experience, and you don’t want to miss out on it if you have the chance. You can also get costumes and stuff here. It is all stuff that they sell in Hollywood Studios, so if you see it there and don’t buy it, but regret it, you can just come here for whatever it is that you wanted. Warning: they may not have it, but they probably will.
Sugarboo & Co.
Sugarboo & Co. is an art store, with all kinds of house décor items. They have signs, centerpieces, and more. If you look at the images above and below, you’ll see what I mean.
As you can see, they also have plants, shelves, and more, as well. If you are looking to redecorate your home, then this is the place to shop. I think that my mom would have a blast at Sugarboo & Co.
Sunglass Icon®
Sunglass Icon® is a sunglass store (obviously). They have a whole bunch of super cute options of sunglasses at Sunglass Icon®. The pair that the woman in the photo is wearing is just one example. Personally, I think those sunglasses are super cute. And, Disney’s sunglasses are incredibly expensive. I’m not sure how much they cost here, but you might have better options, especially because Disney’s sunglasses are not known for being the best quality.
Super Hero Headquarters
This shop is incredibly cool. It’s the only store at Disney World that only sells Marvel stuff. Before the pandemic, you used to be able to make personalized blasters that you wore on your wrists. Elliot really wants one. But, in edition to that, they also sell, shirts, toys, and more.
Superdry
Superdry is a clothing store for adults. Their price range is anywhere from around $30 to over $300, so you can find something that is within your budget. They have all kinds of clothes, so there is something for every adult.
Swings N’ Things – The Hammock Experts
Swings N’ Things is a store that sells swinging chairs and hammocks for your outdoor areas (or for indoor areas if you are like the people in the photo). They aren’t exactly cheap, but they are great quality. While you can buy hammocks at your local Target or Walmart, these are much better quality than the cheap ones. If you are looking to redecorate (or just add to your current decorations), you should check out Swings N’ Things.
Tommy Bahama
Tommy Bahama sells stuff for men, women, the beach, and for home. Currently, they are having Father’s Day sale. They also have shoes, bathing suits, shirts, shorts, and more. For the beach, they have chairs, games, drinks, and anything else you might need to have a fun day next to the water.
Tren-D
Tren-D is a Disney fashion store. Personally, I think the name is pretty creative. At Tren-D, you can find Disney Ears, Disney cartoon shirts, Disney parks clothing, items from the D-lish line, and athleisure ensembles. Keep in mind that this is subject to change.
UGG®
I come from Detroit, Michigan, where UGGs and other furry boots are extremely popular in the middle of the winter, when it is freezing cold. In fact, it is sort of an unspoken requirement for girls and women to own a pair, because it just gets that cold. Everybody has a pair, and it’s completely normal to see an entire table of girls wearing them at lunch in the cafeteria after the month of October. So, if you, like me, come from a cold climate, you can get your very much necessary fuzzy UGGs here, in Florida. (By the way, I have seen people wear UGGs in Florida, even though it’s like 80℉ in the winter.)
UNDER ARMOUR BRAND HOUSE
I personally love Under Armour clothes. It is so comfortable. I used to have a pair of black leggings from Under Armour that I loved, plus about twenty shirts (all compliments of my cousin Carly). In fact, I loved it so much, Elliot used to ask if he could have the least “ungirly” shirt that I had when it didn’t fit me anymore. My mom told him no. It is great for athletic stuff, but it is also great in the middle of the summer, when you need a better material that you won’t sweat through. (Believe me. I get it. I live in Florida, where I sweat whenever I go outside.) I recommend Under Armour, even if you don’t do a lot of exercising.
UNIQLO
UNIQLO is a Disney clothing store. It is pronounced YOO-nee-kloh. Technically, UNIQLO is not a Disney store. Just the one in Disney Springs is. It started in Japan, and eventually it made its way here. Even if you didn’t know what UNIQLO is before you went to Disney Springs (which you are now prepared for), you’ll notice it is definitely an Asian company, because it has what I now know are Japanese characters engraved on the door handle. (I can’t tell the difference between Chinese, Korean, or Japanese characters. Why do they have to be so similar?!) It is a really pretty shop, and I recommend you check it out, even if you don’t want to buy anything, if you have the chance.
UNOde50
UNOde50 is a jewelry store that is founded in Spain. Everything from there is hand crafted. They have bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces. The jewelry is really pretty, and not super expensive, with most bracelets ranging between $100 and $200. They have so much jewelry to choose, from, and I’m sure you’ll find something that you like.
Vera Bradley
Vera Bradley sells all kinds of stuff, like bags, lanyards, masks, and beanbags. I have a lanyard back in Michigan, that my dad will hopefully bring down in the next round of stuff. Or, I’ll bring it down when I go up in a few weeks. But, that’s off topic. You’ve probably seen Vera Bradley stuff before. A lot of their stuff has a lot of colors and involves flowers. In fact, a lot of it is similar to the bags shown above. But, another example of a Vera Bradley product is in the photo down below.
The beanbag above is being sold for $70. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, so I personally love this beanbag. It has all kinds of stuff from Herbology, in case you haven’t read or watched Harry Potter before.
Volcom
Volcom sells all kinds of thing for performance and sports. You can buy tops, dresses, hoodies, jackets, jeans, pants, shorts, skirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, swimwear, wetsuits, and more. You’ll also be able to find accessories and shoes. It is located right across the street from UNDER ARMOUR BRAND HOUSE.
World of Disney®
World of Disney® is hard to miss, and it’s easily the biggest store in Disney Springs. This is one of my favorite stores ever. It is the biggest physical Disney store in the world. The only Disney store that beats it is shopDisney. If you saw something in the parks, and you didn’t get it, but you regret it, you will most likely be able to buy it here, unless it is out of stock, which has happened to our family before a couple times.
ZARA
ZARA is a clothing store for the whole family. There are shirts, bottoms, jackets, bags, accessories, shoes, and more, at ZARA. ZARA is in Town Center.
Places to eat
There are many places to eat in Disney Springs, so here it is. I’ll tell you what they serve, and you can decide if you want to eat there.
4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck
This restaurant is not incredibly expensive, priced at $14.99 and under per adult. It serves Mexican and Latin food, like brisket and pulled pork made in a special Mexican way. It is located across from AMC Theater in West Side.
AMC – MacGUFFINS
AMC has two restaurants and this is one of them. At MacGUFFINS, you can order alcoholic drinks, like beer, wine, and cocktails, before you go and watch whatever movie you came to watch. It is located inside of AMC, in the West Side.
AMC® Disney Springs 24 Dine-In Theatres
The full service is temporarily suspended, but if you order from the Ordering Station, they will deliver to your seat. And, at AMC, all fully vaccinated guests don’t have to wear masks. Please, though, for yours and others safety, don’t lie that you are fully vaccinated. Unfortunately, I don’t know what’s on the menu, because neither Disney Springs or AMC have it on their websites.
Amorrete’s Patisserie
At Amorrete’s Patisserie, you can buy all kinds of pastries, like crepes, specialty cakes, wine, and champagne. My personal favorite (to look at, of course. This is not a Kosher confectionary.) is the Mickey one above. I think that one is really creative. In order to order specialty cakes, you have to order by phone ((407) 934-3500) or go to the shop at least 72 hours in advance. The menu is on the Disney Springs website. The shop is located across the street from UNDER ARMOUR BRAND HOUSE in The Landing.
AristoCrêpes
First things first, those bubble waffles look amazing. Unfortunately for me, they aren’t Kosher, so you can comment down below, telling me if they are good. AristoCrêpes is located in Marketplace. In addition to the bubble waffles, they also sell crêpes, water, Coca-Cola, and alcoholic drinks, which you must be over 21 to purchase.
B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co.
B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. is located in between the Marketplace and The Landing, right near World of Disney®. They serve hot dogs and sausages, chips, fountain sodas, water, lemonade, tea, and beer (for people over 21 and older.) The price range is $14.99 and under per adult.
The Basket at Wine Bar George
The price range, like for most dining in Disney Springs, is $14.99 and under per adult. They serve lunch and dinner, and their hours are from 12:00 PM – 9:00 PM. They serve all kinds of unique alcoholic beverages, including stuff that includes Dole Whips, the classic Disney treat. It is located in The Landing.

- French Fries
- Cheese
- Boxes of various stuff that you can choose
- Hummus
- Crackers
- Baguettes
- Fruit
- and more!
So, basically anything that you might eat/drink with wine.
Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza
This restaurant serves pizza, obviously. The price range is $14.99 and under per adult. The style of pizza is American, even though pizza is originally from China. Everybody thinks it’s from Italy, but no, it’s from China. Anyways, they are located in Town Center. Their hours are from 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM, and they serve lunch and dinner. They serve signature pizzas, you can build your own pizza, salads, dough knots, desserts, fountain sodas, and alcoholic beverages (for people 21 and older).
The BOATHOUSE®
The BOATHOUSE® has a higher price range than most Disney Springs dining places: $15 to $34.99 per adult. They serve American, seafood, and steakhouse foods. They do recommend reservations, which you can make by going to Disney Springs website, or by clicking this link: https://www.disneysprings.com/dining/the-boathouse/. Whenever someplace recommends a reservation, I recommend that you make one if you want to do that thing, or else you might not get in. The BOATHOUSE® is located in The Landing. They serve lunch and dinner. Here’s some of what’s on the menu:
- Oysters
- Shrimp
- Tuna Poke

- and more!
The BOATHOUSE® has so many options for the whole family, and even the pickiest eaters will be able to find something to eat.
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ recommends that you make a reservation, which you can make by going to http://www.homecominkitchen.com/#about. Brunch is from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., on Monday through Friday it is open from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday it’s open from 9 am. – 10 p.m. They serve fried chicken, shrimp, grits, their legendary Shine Cake, and cocktails.

City Works Eatery & Pour House
City Works Eatery & Pour House is mainly known for their beer, which is only sold to those 21 and older. But, they also have a restaurant. You can make reservations by going to https://www.cityworksrestaurant.com/disneysprings/.
Coca-Cola Store Rooftop Bar
The price range is $14.99 and under per adult, and they serve American style food, obviously. They are open from 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM. The store is very hard to miss; see the Coca-Cola Store section above. They sell all of their different style sodas, bottles and cans of them, juices, floats, ICEEs, coffee, mocktails, cocktails, pretzels, nachos, nuts, and bottled water. If you are looking for a place to hydrate, this is the place to do it.
Cookes of Dublin
The price range at Cookes of Dublin is $14.99 and under per adult. They serve American food. They serve lunch and dinner from 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM everyday. (Note: times are subject to change.) This restaurant is located in The Landing. The menu includes:
- Fish and chips
- Burgers
- Sandwiches
- Onion rings
- Curry sauce
- Brownies
- Blondies
- Fruit cups
- Fountain sodas
- Tea
- Coffee
- and more!
Even though Disney Springs’ website says this is an American-style restaurant, this is sounding a lot more like a British-style restaurant, with the fish and chips and everything.
D-Luxe Burger
The price range for this American-style restaurant is $14.99 and under per adult. They are open from 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM for both lunch and dinner. This burger place is located in Town Center. The menu includes:

The Daily Poutine
The Daily Poutine has a price range of $14.99 and under per adult, and they serve American-style food, although technically poutine is from Canada. I also think that the name is really creative. They are open for lunch and dinner from 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM. It is located in The Landing, near the Under Armour store and an entrance/exit to Disney Springs. They sell poutine (obviously), fountain soda, watermelon lemonade, bottled water, and alcoholic beverages. This restaurant is great if you want to try new foods from different countries, even if you don’t want to leave this one.
Disney Food Trucks
The price range at these fun places to eat is $14.99 and under per adult. The food style is American. You used to be able to use Disney Dining Plan credit here, but because that was cancelled, you can’t do that right now. When they bring it back (which they no doubt will), you will probably be able to use them. Until then, you will have to pay in cash. The trucks are there from 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM. Disney Springs’ website says this is for lunch and dinner, but that would be an incredibly late lunch. They have three food trucks: 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck (as mentioned above), Hot Diggity Dog, and Mac & Cheese. Please keep in mind that there are also food trucks at Disney’s All Star Music Resort during the summer as well. These food trucks are parked in West Side, right outside of AMC, as pictured above. Items on the menus include:
- BLT
- Mac & cheese
- Bottled soda
- Bottled water
- POWERade®
- and more!
These food trucks don’t have a huge selection, but if you are looking for American comfort food, this is a great place to get it.
Dockside Margaritas
Please keep in mind that only guests 21 and older may visit Dockside Margaritas. The price range for this bar is $14.99 and under per adult, and the style is American, because margaritas are actually from here in Florida. It is located in Marketplace, across the street from World of Disney® (see above). They sell margaritas, frozen margaritas, iced tea, and other alcoholic drinks.
Earl of Sandwich®
Earl of Sandwich® sells, well, sandwiches. There are Earl of Sandwich® stores all over the United States. But, like I always say, there’s a special magic about Disney, and you can’t replicate it anywhere else. So, while you may be able to get the same exact sandwiches somewhere else, they aren’t the same.
The Edison
The Edison is a little bit more expensive than other restaurants in Disney Springs, with a price range of $15 to $34.99 per adult. The style is American, and because it is a Table Service restaurant, they strongly recommend reservations, which you can make by going to https://www.disneysprings.com/dining/the-edison/. They serve dinner between 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM. They serve bacon, chips with guacamole, fries, dips, salads, ribs, tomato soup with grilled cheese, salmon, burgers, mashed potatoes, cake, pie, fruit, chicken tenders, chocolate chip cookies, mocktails, cocktails, other alcoholic drinks, wine, and more. There is a huge selection, and everybody in your family will find something to eat.
Enzo’s Hideaway
Enzo’s Hideaway is a little bit more expensive than the Quick Service, with a price range of $15 to $34.99 per adult, and they strongly recommend reservations, which you can make by going to https://www.disneysprings.com/dining/enzos-hideaway/. It is an Italian-style restaurant. They are open from 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM for dinner. It is located in The Landing. They serve salads, spaghetti, chocolate ganache, gelato, fruit salad, spaghetti & meatballs, pizza, chicken tenders with fries, ice cream, milk, soda, apple juice, sangria, alcoholic drinks, and more.

Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC
Our family loves this bakery. Everything here is Kosher, vegan, and allergy friendly to people with gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, and egg allergies. The price range is $14.99 and under per adult. You can get these delicious treats from 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM for a snack. It’s located in The Landing. You can get cookies, donuts, cake, cinnamon rolls, bread, bagels, cupcakes, thin mints, ice cream, iced tea, juice, bottled water, hot tea, hot coffee, and hot chocolate. I recommend the thin mints. They are so delicious, with the mint and chocolate. You can also get to go from Erin McKenna’s.
Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew
This donut shop just opened, with a price range of $14.99 and under per adult. It is an American-style bakery. They are open from 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM for you to grab a snack. It is located in West Side outside of AMC (see above). They sell all kinds of donuts with all kinds of toppings, both unique and classic, sandwiches, grilled cheese, fries, coffee, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, and more.

This Mexican-style restaurant strongly recommends that you make reservations, which you can do by going to https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/disney-springs/frontera-cocina/.

The price range is $15 to $34.99 per adult for both lunch and dinner. It is located in The Landing. This restaurant is voted 4/5 stars on TripAdvisor.
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop
This is one of our family’s favorite places to get ice cream at Disney World. This American-style ice cream store has a price range of $14.99 and under per adult. You can get your delicious ice cream snack from 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM. And, guess what? You can actually get chocolate samples in the shop. Well, you could before the pandemic, but I am pretty sure that they were brought back. You can buy your ice cream in Marketplace, right near World of Disney® (see above). You won’t miss it: it smells amazing, and it will make you want to go in to buy ice cream. They have specialty sundaes, milk shakes, just plain ice cream (cone and not), chocolate drinks, and bottled water.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
First thing I want to say: I’ve heard their food is amazing. Unfortunately, it’s not Kosher, so I can’t have it, but it’s supposed to have really good deserts. The price range is $14.99 and under per adult. This bakery serves their snacks from 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM. It is located in The Landing. They have chocolate chip cookies, toffee, cake cookie (for limited time only), a monthly desert, red velvet cake, daily cake slice, milk, cane sugar soda, and more! Another thing that I have heard about Gideon’s Bakehouse: their cake slices are ginormous.

Unfortunately, if you were hoping to eat here, it is temporarily closed. But, hopefully, it will reopen soon. The price range here is cheaper than the other House of Blues restaurant: $14.99 and under per adult. It has American style food, like the other one, though. They are also located on the West Side. They serve beer, cocktails, and wine.

This is the perfect place to go if you need something to cool yourself in this very humid Florida heat.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar

The price range is $14.99 and under per adult. It is located in The Landing.
Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies Kiosk at Disney Springs Marketplace
My friend Yoella loves Joffrey’s. I remember one time, they lost their lunches or something, and she was raving about her drink. The price range is $14.99 and under per adult, and the style is American. You can get your snacks from Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies Kiosk at Disney Springs Marketplace from 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM. Obviously, this kiosk is located in Marketplace, next to the outdoor entertainment stage, and across from World of Disney®. They serve all kinds of smoothies, coffee, hot tea, iced tea, hot chocolate, spirited beverages, and more. If you want a (nonalcoholic) drink, then you can most likely get it here.
Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company®
Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company has been around since 1984, and you’ve probably heard about it since then. They have kiosks all over the Disney parks, and you can buy it at your local grocery store. They actually started in the state of Florida; they started in Tampa.
You can buy all kinds of blends, including blends that they made special for Disney World, both in the parks and online (https://live-joffreys.pantheonsite.io/product-category/best-sellers/). This is one of the most popular non-Disney food booth at Disney World, other than Starbucks, of course.

They are open for dinner from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The price range is $15 to $34.99 per adult, and they are located in The Landing. This restaurant is rated 4 out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor.
Marketplace Snacks
First of all, it’s great to know that you can get Dole Whips in Disney Springs. I knew that you could get pretzels, Mickey bars, Mickey ice cream sandwiches, and churros, but I did not know about the Dole Whips.

Marketplace Snacks is located next to World of Disney® (see above). They serve DOLE Whip® Pineapple Floats, DOLE Whips® (plain) DOLE Whip® Nachos (which sound amazing.

YeSake Kiosk
Yesake has alcoholic slushies for people 21 and older, that Disney Food Blog says is delicious. It is located in Town Center. Here is a photo of it:
It is near Planet Hollywood (see above). Here is another picture:
There are lots of other kiosks all around this one, so if you want to have different types of food, you can get it within the area.
You can watch Cast Members make your order for you, which is super cool, in my opinion. Here’s a picture of it:
There is no indoor seating, and there is no outdoor seating close by, so you’ll have to eat while walking, which is now allowed. In addition to that previously mentioned slushy, they feature Japanese hand rolls. But, instead of using rice, they use tortilla.
This kiosk mixes flavors from around the world to create new (and I assume yummy) dishes.
These are all the restaurants in Disney Springs, so I hope I helped you decide where you would like to eat. If you want to read the full DFB blog for the last restaurant, go to https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2016/05/17/first-look-and-review-yesake-hand-rolls-and-slushes-in-disney-springs/. It will give you a lot more information than I did, but I do give credit to them.
Extra Experiences
There are three extra experiences in Disney Springs, one of which I already mentioned above: Splitsville Luxury Lanes™. There’s no need to talk about that one again, but I will be talking about the other two.
Aerophile – The World Leader in Balloon Flight
This experience is for all ages, and they operate from 9:00 AM – 11:00 PM. Tickets are first come, first serve, and you can purchase them at the attraction. They cost $25 for people 10 and older, and $20 for people ages 3 to 9. Here are some important things to know before you ride:
- The balloon will not fly during a storm or if winds exceed 22 mph.
- Bags, beverages, food, smoking and strollers are not permitted in the balloon’s basket.
- Guests over age 12 are permitted to ride by themselves. However, children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult (18 or older)*
This attraction is located in The Landing.

Vintage Amphicar Tours
This tour is for all ages, and they are open from 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM. These 20 minute tours run daily, weather permitting. I don’t recommend booking for a summer tour, because it rains off and on, all day, every day. It costs $125 per car, which holds up to 3-4 people each. Walkup reservations are accepted at The BOATHOUSE BOATIQUE. The dock is in The Landing.
Well, that’s everything you need to know if you are planning on visiting Disney Springs. Please keep in mind that everything written in this blog is true at the time of posting. Things are subject to change, especially with COVID, and its restrictions.
