9 Can’t Miss Magical Spots at Disney Springs
It’s no secret that Disney has plenty of attractions in Florida. But what about the days you need a break from the madness of theme parks but still desire a little Disney magic? We introduce to you Disney Springs (formerly known as Downtown Disney). Located in Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando, Disney Springs is a 120-acre outdoor dining, shopping, and entertainment complex. Best of all? It requires no ticket or entrance fee. But what exactly are the hot spots you simply cannot pass up? Today we’re giving you all the details.
Here are 9 Can’t Miss Magical Spots at Disney Springs.

1. Aerophile
Formerly known as ‘Characters in Flight’ this Disney landmark has become well known over the years. Soar the skies in an 8 minute adventure inside the world’s largest hand-painted hot air balloon (tethered, so don’t worry about sailing too far towards Neverland). This attraction is for people of all ages, so even the smallest Mousketeers can enjoy the experience.
2. World of Disney
If you only have time for one stop at Disney Springs, we recommend it be World of Disney. This 50,000 square foot store is the largest Disney store on Earth and will have everything and anything your heart desires. From ears to home goods, stuffed toys and collectibles, there isn’t an item you’ll want that’s impossible to find. Here, even the most hard to please customer will leave happy.
3. Art of Disney
No matter if you’re an art collector or simply enjoy browsing the finer things in life, this is the spot for you. You’ll enjoy browsing through the endless collections created by masters, ranging in price from high end to moderate, allowing even those on a budget to take home something special. Even if art isn’t your thing, we highly recommend checking this location out if for no other reason than to appreciate the craft.
4. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
For every young child longing to have their day as a princess, we bring you the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. This salon is filled with 18 stations ready to transform children ages 3-12 into their storybook heroes. Depeding on the selected package, kids can choose out of three hairstyles, a new outfit, nail polish, accessories, and even a light splash of make-up. Trust us, when you walk out your kids will be ready to head straight to the ball.
