Disney Springs
Set just under half an hour’s drive to the southwest of the center is Disney Springs – one of the most popular places to shop, dine, and enjoy live music and shows in the city. Located right next to Walt Disney World, the huge complex contains hundreds of shops, restaurants, and bars with attractions and entertainment options on offer.
Since opening in 1975 along the shores of Lake Buena Vista, the site has been expanded, renovated, and renamed numerous times. Now divided into four themed areas, the fictional town has a marina and marketplace for guests to stroll around as well as a lovely Spanish Revival-style CBD.
In addition to boasting the world’s biggest Disney store, it also has a Rainforest Cafe, LEGO store, and Planet Hollywood with its innumerable daily shows lending it a lively yet laidback ambience.
