Disney Springs on a Friday

[MischaOz]

Not sure if this is the right board for this question, if not, I apologize!

I've never made it to Disney Springs as I'm usually maximizing my park time, but I really want to get there on my arrival day in November. Just wondering how crazy busy a Friday night might be? How challenging is it to find parking? And will there be a long wait at quick service restaurants? Any insight is much appreciated!!

It'll be busy, parking is a breeze.

It will be crazy busy at night, but it's doable. Parking is no problem as previously stated, and it was my experience that the table service restaurants seemed the busiest. Locals on dates etc...mixed with tourists.

What time are you talking about? It will get more crowded as the night goes on. We have two small kids that frequently wake up before 6am, so we tend to eat an 'early bird' dinner at 6 even on our date nights. Early evening in DS on a Friday night was not bad at all. We ate at Deluxe Burger and just had one family ordering in front of us at 6.

Parking is super easy, even when it's busy. And it will definitely be busy on a Friday night, especially after 6:30 pm or so. The last time I was there on a weekend night was in October, and it was relatively uncrowded when we checked in for our Raglan Road reservation at 6:15, but we walked back out at 7:30 into what felt like wall-to-wall people. We still enjoyed ourselves, and will be going to DS on a Friday night in November, so clearly it didn't put me off.

Piggy backing off this post:

My GF and I are going to be at DS on a Tuesday in July. What are the bars/lounges like? Are we going to have to wait a long time to get a drink?
