Review - Florida - Orlando - Disney Springs

Whenever I'm in Florida, I almost always end up at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida. It's a shopping and restaurant mecca within Walt Disney World.


Parking in any of the garages is free (for the time being!). They have smart parking whereby you can see how many spots are available per floor and then you look for the green light for an open spot. After you park, you will head to the second floor via elevator or stairs.


Before you can enter Disney Springs, you must now go through a temperature and security check. This long, unorganized line took quite some time. People were not social-distancing if that's important to you. They did require masks.

Since this visit occurred during what I call
Spring Break season", around 6pm EST, it was crowded (as it was pre-Covid). The dinner crowd was out in full-force and long lines were seen at every restaurant.

The Disney Store now requires shoppers to enter a queue to be allowed in the store a few at a time. The Disney Store line (which is hidden on the far side of the building) took over 45 minutes.


The Lego Store had some new decor on the outside - Fantasia Mickey, Star Wars characters, and Frozen. They removed the buildable racecar area and put in a queue to enter the store.

Disney Springs did offer entertainment - there was a concert playing on the stage area and there were other "local" musicians. Some of the shops had closed early (around 8pm EST). We skipped some of our favorite places because the lines were too long. Overall, it's starting to feel more normal (pre-Covid).
