Help-- going to Disney Springs and its been awhile

[Krischaser]

Hello . My family is going to Disney Springs and they are bringing their two teenage boys. Its been years since I have been there and I was trying to remember what fun things they can do or see. Also I know that there have been tips on what food or shops to make sure to see. Ferry rides? Anything. Thanks!

There's a boat that travels between DS and Port Orleans and another that stops at SSR and OKW. While they are nice rides they are considered transportation and they will be expected to disembark at the resort if they choose to ride it. There's lots of live entertainmemt most evenings at DS. As far as stores, there's tons now. We can't even walk through the whole springs in an evening if we stop for shopping, food etc. We usually stroll through about half.

At the "Landing" you can take a small boat over (or back) to the "Marketplace" dock.
(Small trundle boat,,kind of like a water taxi) nothing exciting IMHO.

Lots of teens taking pictures by the "LEGO" statues.

Three restaurants with alot of young people

1.The Polite Pig
Quick Service Barbecue

2. D-Luxe Burger
Quick Service

3. Starbucks Westside
Lots of young people In and out and behind restaurant,
Restaurant is on the waterfront.



Have fun planning

Just another idea
Give the teens a "Hidden Mickey Challenge".
They have to find and photograph with their phone 10 or more Hidden Mickeys (with themselves in the picture).
Reward:
One Disney Gift Card
OR
Ice Cream at Ghirardelli's Ice Cream Shop
OR
Basins

Your reward is a break and some great pictures of the kids.

Have a look here so that you have a heads up on them
