Hiya Carol,
I am so glad you stopped back at planDisney with this great question. As far as I am concerned, a perfect
Walt Disney World Resort vacation has to include plenty of time exploring
Disney Springs. With so many amazing shops, restaurants and entertainment options, there is plenty to see and enjoy.
One of the many great things about Disney Springs is how easy it is to get to. Not only can you utilize the complimentary
Disney Resort Transportation from any of the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels, there are plenty of
complimentary parking spaces if you prefer to drive yourself. The garages typically open between 7am and 8am, while the Disney buses begin running from the resorts to Disney Springs about thirty minutes before the start of the operating hours. On most days, this is around 10:30am. As a reminder, overnight parking is not permitted at Disney Springs, with the garages closing around 2am.
I hope this helps you plan plenty of time to shop and snack. Don't forget to squeeze in a visit to one of the newest additions, the scrumptious ice cream shop,
Salt & Straw. If I can help with any additional planning questions, please stop back and
see me.
T-T-F-N (Ta-Ta for now),
Margaret
