Disney Springs questions

[CaryHaven]

Moderators, feel free to move this to a better forum if needed. Nothing seemed appropriate.

I love going to Disney Springs our first day in Florida, but it never seems we have enough time to see it all so I'm trying to figure out which shops would be the most fun for us and plan a route. (Ghiradelli, Basin, Once Upon a Toy, Lego are all staples but I'd like to try others.) If you know the answers to any of these, please let me know. Also, feel free to recommend any great spots. We like Raglan Rd ok and Fulton's Crabhouse, Earl of Sandwich, also Wolfgang Puck's. (Don't like Planet Hollywood) Wouldn't mind trying somewhere new. Homecoming or the Smokehouse?

Magic Ink Express - anyone gone? How long do the fake tattoos last? Esp the ones with glitter?

Does Marketplace Fun Finds still do the grab bag? I heard they'd stopped but hadn't confirmed.

Didn't there used to be a magnet store there? I can never find it.

My daughter wants one of those little initial rings they make...not sure what the name of the place is or if it's a kiosk. Anyone know what they're made of or if it will turn fingers green?

Can anyone verify if there's a discount on the Characters in Flight before a certain time. I'd heard early mornings were cheaper but can't confirm it.

Thank you!!!

Initial Rings is a booth inside of the Marketplace.

Marketplace Fun Finds no longer offers grab bags. I think they stopped selling them in 2015.

In regard to the magnet store, Magnetron has been closed for a while now.

That would explain why I've never been able to find the magnet store.

Fulton's is closed and will reopen as a new restaurant.

Blaze Pizza is a fun create your own pizza restaurant. We have one in town so haven't tried the one in DS.

Coca-Cola Store: you can meet the Coca-Cola bear as well as go to the top floor cola bar.

Check Groupon or LivingSocial for any Characters in Flights deals.

For character in flight there's no discount for going earlier in the day. However like Hiro said you can check online like Groupon and sometimes find discounts

Wow, had no idea they were closed. Awesome idea on the Groupon/Living Social and will check out the Coca Cola store. Thanks!

Is there really? I've never seen that on their sign. Only the $20 or so per person

 

[CaryHaven]

I've changed our plans to get there before 10 for the balloon ride

I found it on their website and they also offer a $2 coupon for flights after 10:00a.

You can pretty much spend a whole day at DS now if you want. The new shops area is great & offers browsing for Dept-type stores you don't normally see in a mall as well as really high-end, expensive name stores. The coca cola store is a lot of fun. You can get a great view of Planet Hollywood progress from the roof deck. The Boathouse was great food, & especially nice eating on the deck. The Ganachery is good chocolates but very expensive. Not worth the $ for the rather common choices they have IMO. Blaze is great. D-Luxe we've only tried a few things, but it was very good. Aristocrepes was BIG, different, & good. Sprinkles is awesome. Just a ton to try & look at now.

Yeah, I went there this past Friday at 9:30 to take advantage but it was too windy to ride.

Nice. I might consider it now if it's that price. I've always thought their regular price was too much for what it is

Uniqlo is one of my favorite new additions as are Blaze and Coke
