See more...

We were there the day it opened. It is beautiful, but for Brits at least, I cannot see why you would buy from there when the outlet is literally just down the road.

When in the shopping area you certainly do not feel like you are in Disney.

Not sure i like the idea of it all being shops, as people have already stated there are enough malls as it is. Hope none of the atmosphere has gone. Will have to wait and see next year. Must admit gona miss Disney Quest, kids used to love it there

I'm not a fan of the new shops, some of the better known brands make nice presentations, but there a few that once you walk inside are not the best advert for something on Disney property. The build of the section as you walk through from the bus drop to Disney Springs itself is really nice, but the 'copy-cat' outlet style architecture is not for me. Just my view. I did come away wondering how long some of the brands would be there, we'll see.

Whilst I love a good shopping spree with the best of them I can't help thinking that the place needs some entertainment draws particularly in the evenings. OK, some of the restaurants have live acts but I can't help but feel it all loses out to City Walk at Universal. We are never going to see the likes of Pleasure Island return (more is the pity) which I feel is a shame.

It will be interesting to have a nose round, can't see us spending much there (apart from the restaurants!)
