How long to allow for Disney Springs?

[Mosey03]

What would you say is the minimum amount of time I should allow for visiting Disney Springs? We would be coming from All-Star Movies via the bus and would be looking to check out just a few stores and catch a quick service-type meal. It would probably be on a Saturday around lunchtime, if that makes any difference. What is the minimum amount of time I would want to allow (including the bus time)? Thanks!

2016 we spent between 6 and 7 hours there from mid afternoon till late in the evening. Best part was the live DJ. my girls danced the night away! But last year we went early in the day and were ready to leave after a few hours.

I should possibly add that we are considering this for our departure day. Flight departs from MCO at 5:15pm, 2 adults, staying at MK until midnight the night before for MVMCP so we know we won't want to get up real early.

We went to Disney Springs last Saturday and spent 4 hours which was enough for us. We hit World of Disney store, shopped a few other stores, got our Ghirardelli sample, then ate at Rainforest. Parking didn't seem as bad as years past but the Disney store is about half the size while undergoing some renovations.

I mean...it's just an outdoor shopping mall with restaurants. I guess it really depends on how much time you enjoy shopping?

Well if ur using ME, pick up is 3-4 hours before ur flight. And ur out late the nite before and don’t want to get up early? May not be the best choice of day for you.
That being said... it’s a shopping mall, typical stores and some higher end, overpriced ones. There are great Disney stores and some good eats, but that’s the main draw for most people.
I’d say to “see/experience “ it maybe 3 hours with an xtra 1.5 in a sit down or xtra 40 for a quick bite. Travel by bus .. always allow atleast an hour each way for timing.

Not sure I’d want that as my lasting last impression of my Disney vacation... unless ur a group of die hard shoppers.
Me....Why not soak in some early sun, relax poolside, grab a meal n head home, unless it’s ur only open day/time.
Whatever you decide.. have a great visit!

Sometimes catching a movie or going bowling there can be fun and a break from the parks especially if you have one of those downpour rainy days. If we skip movie and bowling we spend 3-4 hours there.
