Downtown Disney is officially gone, as of today it is officially Disney Springs. I know it gets a lot of abuse, but I like the Disney Springs concept. I am also liking what I am seeing of it, and can't wait until Feb when I actually get to see it first hand.

I only remember visiting pleasure island once, and it was a decent experience. Then one other time we went to Downtown Disney and it was ok, but with the rotten, dead former pleasure island ind the middle, it was kinda a mess, with no plan. Now it is coming together, and seems worth a visit again.

The most exciting part of it, is the ability to have a decent meal, with many options, without having to go into a park, and without the extremely long process of getting to another resort from your resort only using buses, or paying for a cab.

I like the Disney Springs concept as well. The only thing I don't like about it is having to remember in my brain that it's being rebranded. I think that when it's all said and done, it's gonna look fantastic and be a lot of fun.

I'm always excited for change. Looking forward to seeing Disney Springs next month, I realize it's still got time to grow and develop, but very excited to see how its coming along and checking out all the new places. We've got ressies lined up for Boathouse and Morimoto that we're really looking forward to.

I am looking forward to the new concept myself. The more and more things open the better it seems to get. We really enjoy The Boathouse and the new Hangar Bar. Combined with the Lava Lounge and Raglan Road. There is a lot to do in Disney Springs and more to come.

Morimoto Asia opens tomorrow and we are looking forward to that. Even if the menu is not what we wanted. My wife and I honeymooned in Napa Valley and went to his restaurant there several times. Even got to meet the Chef there as well. Think it would be cool to see him here in Orlando and show him the picture we took together nearly five years ago.

We were there in March and again last month and were very impressed with all that had changed over that period of time. Very happy with what it's become/becoming.

It's gonna be awesome. I still call it pleasure island... I'm old though.
