We’ve been covering the transformation of Downtown Disney to Disney Springs since the first closure at Pleasure Island, through the failed Hyperion Wharf idea, to the current concept – a small Florida city that grew up aroun a beautiful springs. As the city grew it spread out in different districts (Town Center, The Landing, Marketplace, and West Side) and eventually became the home for modern stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues we have today.
Well, we don’t have them yet. Construction is still wrapping up on the Town Center portion of the expansion. But we now know who 30 more of those tenants will be.

D-Luxe Burger and Amorette’s Patisserie are two Disney owned and operated dining locations coming to Town Center. D-Luxe will feature gourmet burgers, all-natural chicken and vegetarian options, with hand-cut fries and house-made dipping sauces. Gelato shakes and hard sodas, beer, and cider options to top everything off. Amorette’s Patisserie will have an artist theme with many sweet treats for all to enjoy. Champagne selections and chocolates will also attract guests.
As guests enter Town Center around The Spring area, they will be warmly greeted at the Welcome Center, a place where guests can relax and take in the beauty of the clear water with lush landscape along the water’s edge. Themed to early Florida settlements, the architecture around The Spring is based on timber frame structures that were once used in the citrus and ranching industries.
“Disney Springs has quickly become a favorite destination for our guests and they are going to love what’s to come,” said George A. Kalogridis, president Walt Disney World Resort. “Guests will enjoy an experience unlike any other in Central Florida with even more opportunities to shop in unique and distinctive stores and enjoy world-class dining. Disney Springs offers something for everyone and does it in a way that only Disney can. It truly is the place to be.”
One of the parts I like the most in Disney Springs are all the little details that make this brand new space feel like it has been lived in for years and brings a sense of history to the space. I can’t wait to see what else Disney brings to the table with the Disney Springs is finally entirely open to the public. How about you?
Seems like most of these stores are for the benefit of the locals. Not sure I’d spend a good chunk of my vacation time doing this kind of shopping…
This will capture some locals, but is really targeted to the out of country visitors who are going to local outlet malls and dropping thousands. Now they will stay on property.
No impressed with the new ones… might as well go to the mall!
That’s all this is – an attempt by Disney to capture the tourist $ spent at the nearby outlet, Millenia, and Florida Malls.
It’s really just a way for Disney to keep the guests on property. instead of guests traveling off property to shop at Prime Outlets/smaller outlets/192/the malls now they can just go to Disney Springs. Would have been great if they had left some entertainment there.
Downtown Disney/Disney Springs (if you must) is getting way too big. I liked it back when it was Disney focused stores and Pleasure Island for clubs and eating. Our last trip to Disney we went to DS for lunch and kill a little time before heading to the airport, it is not a priority to spend a vast amount of time there for us anymore. Just want to hit up the WOD store, Pin traders and the Christmas store and that’s about all the interest I have there anymore.
Disney Springs is really expanding like crazy. I wonder if there will be enough business to keep them all busy?
Looks like fun, but this won’t put a dent in the discount malls. This will be full retail price. The place that might be worried is the Mall at Millenia.
Clothing, jewelry, handbags & shoes. Repeat.
The only unique store in the list is the Coca-Cola store (and even then the only thing different they will have from all the others is salt & pepper shakers.)
