Disney springs is a great area for your entertainment, food, treats and eateries. We did the balloon ride which lasts 8 minutes. I recommend at night, to see Orlando as well as Disney lit up. The night life is great with the live bands dotted about. If you want an experience head over to the boathouse to go on the amphicar, a car that drives on water! If you get there before the shops open, head over to the world of Disney shop for an unusual opening! Fancy karaoke , head over to the observatory but not a great selection of drinks. I highly recommend annorettes patisserie, the treats are so good.
We visited Disney Springs twice during our Orlando holiday, both times in the evening, and absolutely loved it!
It’s such a beautiful place to wander around, with a fantastic atmosphere, particularly once everything is lit up at night.
There’s a huge variety of restaurants, bars and shops, so plenty of choice whether you’re looking for somewhere to eat, have a drink or simply enjoy a walk.
One of our favourite things was the live music. There were different performers dotted around, and we really enjoyed being able to sit down, relax and listen for a while. It added so much to the atmosphere.
We used rideshare services on both visits so we could enjoy a drink without worrying about driving. However, we noticed there were several large parking garages available for anyone arriving by car.
Some areas were quite busy, particularly around the World of Disney store, which was absolutely packed! But elsewhere, we had no trouble finding somewhere to sit, and the crowds never really spoiled our enjoyment.
We also found the prices generally reasonable, especially considering the location and the amount of entertainment on offer.
There’s something really lovely about Disney Springs in the evening. The waterfront setting, the music, the restaurants and the general atmosphere make it a wonderful place to spend a few hours.
Would we recommend visiting? Absolutely!
We enjoyed our first evening so much that we came back for a second visit, and we’d happily return again.
A fantastic place to visit in Orlando, even if you’re not planning on visiting the Disney parks.

Disney Springs is a great place to visit, with a wide variety of shops, restaurants, entertainment options, and a lively atmosphere. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and enjoyed walking around and exploring everything the area has to offer.
One thing to keep in mind is that parking can be difficult during busy hours, and finding a convenient spot may take some time. Some restaurants and attractions can also be quite expensive, so it is a good idea to check prices and make reservations in advance, especially during peak times.
Although Disney Springs is enjoyable, it can become very crowded, which may make it harder to move around and fully enjoy the experience. It would also be helpful if there were clearer signs and more information about wait times and available activities.
Overall, Disney Springs is worth visiting, especially for shopping, dining, and entertainment. I recommend planning your visit ahead of time, checking restaurant availability, and going during less busy hours if you prefer a more relaxed experience.

I absolutely love this place! It has so many amazing restaurants and lots of entertainment to wow you throughout your visit. My Husband and I love our favorite restaurant called Paddlefish in Disney Springs. The food is so delicious! We went back a second time. It is a large Boat stationed on the water. It gives such a lovely romantic feel when you are in the restaurant and looking out onto the water. Yes, family and friends do visit the restaurant as well. The staff there is so pleasant. The one who stood out the most was Andy. Thank you for making our experience worthwhile! We also enjoyed the Rainforest Cafe’s Fire Show that happens around every 30 mins. My Hubby and I will definitely return to enjoy the other attractions within Disney Springs. 🤩🤩
