A waterfront district of shops, restaurants, live entertainment and ticketed experiences.
Disney Springs is a large waterfront shopping, dining and entertainment district at Walt Disney World Resort. Entry is not ticketed, but individual restaurants, shows and attractions may need advance reservations or separate admission.
It works well for an easier arrival day, a meal away from the parks or a relaxed evening. The district is extensive, so choosing a parking garage near the places you most want to visit can save a surprising amount of walking.
Use these practical topics as a starting point, then confirm changing details with the official attraction.
Confirm whether general entry is free or ticketed and check any separately priced experiences.
