If you are visiting Orlando but don’t necessarily want to spend an arm and a leg at Disney World, there are plenty of places to visit to still have a magical Disney experience.
Disney Springs is a shopping, dining and entertainment district on Walt Disney World property. You can enjoy the Disney atmosphere & spend less money. Whether you catch a live performance or just stroll along to the music playing, Disney Springs is a fun place to stroll and window shop. Little local secret: catch the free ferries that are provided from Disney Springs. They will take you to all the Parks including the different Resort Hotels. It is an exciting experience especially if you haven’t seen the hotels in person.
