Whether you are planning a weekend visit to Orlando or the family vacation of a lifetime at the Walt Disney World, don’t forget to include Disney Springs® on your itinerary. It offers an enticing array of boutiques, one-of-a-kind eateries, and the kind of entertainment you would expect from a Disney destination.

You can while away the day or stop by for something to eat at one of the tempting waterside eateries and, perhaps an after-dinner stroll along walkways lined with colorful shops. You’ll come away with magical memories (and maybe some delightful Disney loot!).

When it comes to Disney Springs, you’ve never seen it all. This exciting and entertaining open-air destination is always evolving. In addition to the warm handmade donuts and refreshing cold-brewed coffee you can get at the recently opened Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, you can also look forward to:

1. A New Cirque du Soleil Show!

What do you get when you combine the imaginative muscle of Disney animation, the innovative ideas of Walt Disney Imagineering and the acrobatic mastery of Cirque du Soleil? A brand-new show! Drawn to Life is a love letter to the art of Disney animation and a testament to the mesmerizing talent of Cirque du Soleil’s performers. In this first-of-its-kind collaboration, an animator’s desk becomes the stage and drawings come alive. And, no doubt, audiences become captivated!

• Insider’s Tip: Advance reservations are definitely recommended. Tickets are available through Cirque du Soleil.

2. A Magical Night’s Sleep

We know you need to wake up energized and ready to go so that you can make the most of every minute of your Walt Disney World adventure, so we’ve equipped all of our guestrooms and suites with Blissful Beds®. B Resort & Spa is an Official Walt Disney World® Hotel, so you can look forward to a magical night’s sleep, with that just-right blend of softness and support (and you can rest easy knowing that each mattress is eco-friendly!).

3. Cookies that Weigh Almost Half a Pound

Gideon’s Bakehouse makes cookies from scratch that weigh in at “almost half-pound.” Their flavors range from everyone’s favorite Original Chocolate Chip to addictive Pistachio Toffee. You can also enjoy cake slices and a special line of Double Frosted Cakes as well as Gideon’s own line of distinctive iced drinks, including the Original Peanut Butter Iced Coffee. Start your day with a Coffee Cake Cookie or look forward to the Hot Cookie Hour, an evening ritual sure to satisfy your after-dinner craving for something sweet.

• Insider’s Tip: Gideon’s also dishes up unique surprises throughout the year with their secret limited-edition, first-come, first-served desserts.

Of course, you’ll also find old favorites at Disney Springs, like the World of Disney, which houses the world’s largest collection of official Disney merch. Those iconic Mickey Ears are just the beginning. You can find everything from apparel and home décor to movie posters, enchanted art, and animation ink jars that spring to life with a trail of pixie dust! And, if you can’t imagine going home without a few souvenirs or gifts (don’t forget to get something for the friend who is taking care of your dog!), there are also plenty of toys, pins, plush figures, and souvenirs.

Pick up a postcard or invest in one-of-a kind Disney artwork. Enjoy a quick snack by the water or a memorable meal at a world-class restaurant, Disney Springs has it all. And our location in the Disney Springs Resort area means you will B right in the thick of things.
