The Top 3 of Everything at Disney Springs: From Dining to Shopping

When Disney Springs was original announced, some seven years ago, I was skeptical. I was still getting over the loss of Pleasure Island. And there are already enough Springs-named destinations on Disney property. And yet, now that’s it’s been fully realized, I truly adore it. Right now I would love to roam around Disney Springs, perhaps with a cold beverage in my hand. I’m sure I am not alone.

In previous weeks, I’ve compiled Top 3 Lists for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Now, it is time to celebrate this beloved shopping and dining destination! These Top 3 lists are a combination of data from our TouringPlans system, data from our TouringPlans surveys, and a sprinkle of personal preference – but not too much, because science!
