food IS a theme park
Disney Springs is supposed to be the easygoing part of Disney World, but lately, a couple of things have been making it a bit less chill.
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is still one of our favorite places to spend an afternoon or evening at Disney World. Between the restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, it’s usually a pretty low-stress spot compared to the parks. But recently we’ve noticed a couple of new issues popping up that might catch you off guard if you’re not prepared.
When I’m planning a Disney World vacation, my visits to Disney Springs are more of a luxury rather than something I focus a trip around. However, as Disney Springs keeps evolving and upgrading its offerings, it’s hard to ignore that the outlet has quickly become a destination location that deserves your attention — on top of a wild amount of strategy.

If you haven’t been to Disney Springs in a minute, I need you to hear me out — things have changed. Which means that there are some NEW rules you need to know about — whether you’re checking out the new restaurant from Gideon’s or doing some vacation shopping. Trust me — nothing ruins a perfectly planned Disney day faster than parking in the wrong area, getting stopped at security, having trouble finding the right store, or realizing the vibe is very different from what you expected.
Remember when Disney Springs was just a casual shopping area where we could wander aimlessly, maybe grab some food at Earl of Sandwich, and call it a day? Those simpler times are long gone. Today’s Disney Springs has evolved into a destination that might require almost as much strategic planning as a park day — and many people don’t realize this until they’re already caught in the chaos.

I’ve watched countless families waste precious vacation hours because they didn’t understand how dramatically Disney Springs has changed. Heck, I’ve been insanely late for a dining reservation myself because I didn’t realize the sheer madness of the Disney Springs parking garages on the weekends!
