Today, Disney unveiled plans for Disney Springs, the exciting,
multi-year transformation of Downtown
Disney at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Disney’s fundamental goal is to create a welcoming, comfortable
space where families can enjoy time together and instantaneously feel right at
home. They want to give them opportunities to relax, to be entertained, to
wander in and out of unique and distinctive shops or enjoy a world-class dining
experience. And because they are Disney, they have anchored the entire experience
around a story that gives them the ability to deliver on the legendary place-making
and creativity for which they are known. The result is Disney Springs, a
timeless and vibrant place that celebrates the turn-of-the century lakeside
towns that dotted the Florida landscape.
The story of Disney Springs begins at the new Town Center, which
is oriented around a series of bubbling natural springs that first attracted
settlers to the area. From there, the town grew to encompass three additional
neighborhoods: The Landing, Marketplace and West Side – each with its own
distinct charm and atmosphere.
Once complete, Disney Springs will expand from 75 to more than 150
shopping, dining and entertainment venues, featuring some of the world’s most
iconic brands and restaurants. Construction is set to begin next month. The
expansion will open in phases and we expect to complete our development in
2016.
