Hello Chris! I'm glad you came back to planDisney as you start the to finalize plans for your December 2020 visit! Before you know it, you will be in the Most Magical Place on Earth at the most magical time of the year!
Buses are currently running to Disney Springs from the four Disney Parks and from select Disney Resort Hotels. From the Disney Hotels, bus service is available approximately 45 minutes prior to the opening of Disney Springs to 1:00AM. The latest that Guests can hop a bus back to their Disney Resort Hotel is 2:00AM. That's a lot of shopping!
Bus service to Disney Springs from the four Disney Parks begins at 4:00PM and lasts until 11:00PM or two hours after the theme parks close, whichever is earlier.
Chris, since you happen to be visiting
Disney Springs at Christmastime, I wanted to share a few of my Disney Springs favorites with you! Be sure to checkout the holiday tree display! This isn't just your ordinary display! This display of Christmas trees is done in pure Disney style! The trees are decorated in themes of some of our favorite Disney films and characters! I love seeing the creativity that goes into this perfect holiday display!
The other suggestion that I want to make is to take a break between all of your shopping by visiting two of my favorite locations at Disney Springs! Be sure to checkout
Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar for some great food and drink offerings. If the name is familiar to you, it might be because you are a fan of Indiana Jones! Jock Lindsey was the name of Indy's pilot. You might remember that he kept a pet snake in his plane! Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar is fun to explore while you wait for your order. Many artifacts from his adventures with Indy are on display in the bar! Another reliable favorite of mine is
City Works Eatery and Pour House. The menu of beer selections takes up an entire wall! And that menu is impressive!
Chris, between transportation, shopping, eating, and drinking, I think we've got you covered for your visit to Disney Springs! I hope you have a magical visit this holiday season!
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan G.
