Hi, Marisa! Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Disney Springs is
the place to be for shopping during your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation. My daughter and I love to browse through the shops at Disney Springs when we're taking a break from the theme parks. Disney Springs has a great mix of Disney-owned stores, perfect for your souvenir shopping, as well as a variety of other retailers. Many of the stores found in Disney Springs accept
Disney Gift Cards as a form of payment, even if they are not Disney-owned. I called and spoke to an associate at the
Disney Springs Columbia Sportswear store. I was told that you may use your Disney Gift Card to make a purchase at this particular Columbia Sportswear location.
In addition to shopping, Disney Springs also has some amazing
dining options.
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin',
The Polite Pig, and
Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar are some of my favorite spots to grab a bite to eat or a unique cocktail. There are lots of great
activities that you also should check out during your visit to Disney Springs. For incredible views of Walt Disney World Resort, take a ride with
Aerophile - The World Leader in Balloon Flight. After that, you can unwind by taking in a performance at the
Marketplace Stage or with any of the numerous other Disney Springs
entertainment options.
I hope you have an enjoyable visit to Disney Springs and a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
Samantha
