Disney Springs Opens First Phase of Town Center

I do agree with an earlier post - it looks very much like Disney saw the success of Premium Outlets etc and thought they wanted a slice of the pie.

Hopefully it will be better than that once we see it.

Having watched videos online, the new area is not Disney at all... its a Florida shopping mall?

We were there last week. Although it is a lovely area to walk around - it IS like an expensive mall. No idea why you would buy there when the outlets had huge discounts.

This is a top dollar mall for those too lazy to go offsite.

The shops at it arent aimed at us brits spending two weeks there. Target market is the Americans who go for 3 or 4 days and don't want to leave Disney property.

Anthropologie! My FAVE American shop. Boho chic at its best. Yay! So excited and I'm not even a proper shopper type. 😊😊😊
