As an SSR owner I am really excited about the whole Disney Springs project!

Any time table when Starbucks in Dt. Disney,Disney Springs will be opening, I am guessing from photo's not by the first of April 2014. Maybe by our fall visit

From the construction boards it seems to suggest Spring 2014 so yes hopefully well before you fall visit!

Parking at DTD has been a challenge in the past but it's particularly tricky at this time. The old lots are being converted into parking garages as part of the expansion so there is even less space available than before.

We met a friend at DTD for dinner on Saturday who's a CM . She told us she circled lots looking for parking space and ended up using the Casting lot across the street. Okay for her but not an option for most. We found using boat from OKW [SSR works too] a really good way to avoid current parking issues until new garages are open to the public. The buses are still available if you don't have any other way.

Actually on weekends they are directing cars to the employee parking across the street. I just walked from SSR. But until they finish it's kind of pain just to walk around there.... walls everywhere!

Thanks for the update! We always spend a full day in DTD during our visits and I'm excited to see the changes this fall.

Thanks for the link. The photos really show the changes.

Regarding parking at DTD, is Disney still recommending parking at Animal Kingdom park and busing to DTD? That seems so far away and a lot of travel time.

It is a giant ferris wheel being built in Orlando.
