How would we all get our Disney Fix if we couldn't come here and ask dumb questions or answer other people's dumb questions?? It would be dire.

Learning the Backstory of Disney Springs is very interesting also.

Originally it was known as Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village.

From the Disney press release:

Disney Springs is an exciting new shopping and dining destination that we created in response to the number one survey takeaway we get from our guests: 'Can you please find ways to get me to spend more money?' A destination unlike any other, 'the Springs' has unique ways for guests to interact with Disney merchandise, food, beverage, and experiences.

Q: Is Disney Springs another name for Downtown Disney?
A: No. Downtown Disney was a sad, wheezing, exhausted excuse for an outdoor mall, with tired and dated stores and restaurants. Disney Springs represents the great big beautiful tomorrow of non park-related experiences.

Q: But didn't most of the stuff stay the same?
A: (Laughs) No! The Lego Store, for example, used to be "The Lego Store at Downtown Disney." It is now, "Disney Springs' Lego Store." See?

Q: How is the parking situation?
A: Disney transportation is available from many locations on property.

Q: I'm searching for unique experiences that I can't find at home, like bowling, going to the movies, or having some Starbucks. Things like that.
A: You'll find that all in 'the Springs!'

Q: Is this where Pleasure Island used to be?
A: I'm sorry, what now? I don't recognize this term.
