Hi Christine!
The beauty of
Disney Springs is that it is part of the magic of Walt Disney World. As a result, most shopping and dining locations will accept Disney gift cards even if they are not owned and operated by Disney. There are still a few that do not accept them so I would recommend checking when you make your reservations to ensure that you can use your gift cards without concern.
I recently dined at
D-Luxe Burger and it is easily one of my new favorite quick-service restaurants at Disney Springs. The burgers were juicy and the fries crunchy which is perfect in my book. I used a gift card when I was there and had no issues with it. If you are looking for a sweet treat or a good dessert after a delicious meal, head over to
Amorette's Patisserie. They have some of the best and most creative mini cakes and a variety of treats that are sure to make everyone in your party happy!
Sitting down for a nice dinner at Disney Springs is a top priority for me because there are so many delicious options to choose from. If you like Asian fusion food then
Morimoto Asia should be at the very top of your list. The Morimoto Spare Ribs regularly show up in my food dreams alongside the Mongolian Filet Mignon. If you are looking for something more traditionally American, I would head over to
The Boathouse where you will be served fresh seafood, fun drinks, and Firecracker Shrimp!
While you are hanging out at Disney Springs do not forget that the shopping there rivals some of the best malls in the country with classic stores like Zara, lululemon, Anthropologie, and Tommy Bahama paired with unique stores you don't see very often. I love to check out
The LEGO Store for some fun pictures with life-size creations and hop over to the
Coca-Cola store so I can rep my favorite soft drink or participate in a unique soda-tasting experience with a view.
Happy Planning
