The road signs this week have been changed to Disney Springs, instead of Downtown Disney.
When you consider the sheer number of signs and maps in Walt Disney World, that is a BIG job.
1) Yep.
2) And, the road signs were changed in a matter of two nights.
I think that it will always be Downtown Disney to me. I still say MGM Studios.
Epcot is just...well...awful. I just say "do we have to?" when someone in my family wants to go. To me it's in its own category and that's without the Norway situation.Agreed.
I could care less what label they put on things in the swamp. Only the operation, Investment, and pricing.
The decay of EPCOT for the last 15 years took all concern of those "niceties" away from me.

At least you don't call it the Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village.

What a shame. The name "Downtown Disney" was more exciting. "Disney Springs" sounds like an old folks' home.
Well you have Saratoga springs across the lake. Disney springs is supposed to be the old Florida town that formed around a "spring" then over time the town modernized.I don't like the name change. It sounds more like a resort hotel.
One thing that really gets me about this whole thing, is them essentially trying to tie in Disney Springs with Saratoga Springs. What do the springs of New York along with the unique architecture and culture that built up along side it have in common with the Springs of Florida? That would be like building a waterfall from California and a waterfall from Mexico and saying that that themeing follows because there's waterfalls in both. The architecture may be radically different, but the waterfall ties them together.Well you have Saratoga springs across the lake.
