Hello Bernice!
As a fellow Canuck, let me officially welcome you to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am happy to hEAR that you plan on spending some time at the newly re-imagined
Disney Springs on your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation. For my family, Disney Springs is always a highlight and "Must-Do" experience each trip. We go there to shop and dine, and the live music and entertainment is always an extra treat. With so many fabulous stores and shops, and a plethora of restaurants capable of appealing to just about every palate, Disney Springs is a terrific spot for the whole family.
Bernice, you will be happy to know that Disney offers complimentary one-way bus transportation to Disney Springs from all four Walt Disney World Theme Parks starting at 4 p.m. each day. After spending a day touring the parks, it is therefore certainly possible to then catch a bus to Disney Springs where you can shop, grab dinner, or just take in all of the sights. While there is no return bus transportation from Disney Springs back to the Theme Parks,
Disney Springs bus transportation is provided to and from all Walt Disney World Resort hotels. In addition, boat transportation is also available between Disney Springs and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort (French Quarter and Riverside), Disney’s Old Key West Resort and Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.
I hope you enjoy your time at Disney Springs. While there are so many dining options available, I highly recommend
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' for dinner, and a cupcake from
Sprinkles for dessert!
Bon Appétit!
Trish
