Top 5 – Disney Springs for First Timers

February 12, 2019 by Allison Sandberg

Is this your first time to Disney Springs or maybe its your first time in a while? Here is our TOP 5 – Disney Springs for First Timers. The things you will not want to miss on your first visit.

Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant

This Irish Pub is the perfect place for the whole family. It is in the area known as The Landing in the middle of Disney Springs. I don’t know if the live music and Irish dancing or the food and beer options are better. This restaurant will keep the kids entertained and the parents happy. Even if you don’t have a reservation to eat you will want to stop buy and listen to some music. They often have performers outside after 5pm.

The Edison

This 1920’s themed industrial-gothic restaurant has great food but I LOVE it for its craft cocktails and unique entertainment. This the place to grab a drink and a snack and relax with friends as you enjoy the music and the ambiance in this new location. This location is also in the The Landing and the perfect place to relax after dinner or some shopping.

Ghiradelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop

This isn’t a regular ice cream shop. I mean, this is Ghiradelli’s chocolate! You have not had a hot fudge sundae until you have had one here made with their handmade Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge! Truly you can’t go wrong here and the sundaes are big enough to share, if you are willing. My favorite is the Treasure Island Warm Brownie Sundae. This ice cream heaven is located in The Marketplace section of Disney Springs. Be sure to stop by. Besides, I don’t think calories count in Disney…it’s magic!

World of Disney

This is one of the biggest Disney Stores and it has just been re-imagined. There is a section for everyone in this store and you will find just about anything and everything you want here. I feel like its a destination in itself and if you are heading to Disney Springs but won’t be at the parks then this is the place to get everything you need…well, want!

The Void

If you are getting ready for Star Wars then you are going to want to stop in at The Void: Step Beyond Reality. This is a mind blowing virtual-reality walkthrough adventure. There is nothing like it! You may get to enter the world of Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire or Ralph Breaks VR (coming in November). They are open most of the day but can fill up fast so make this your first stop in the Marketplace to get your tickets and then you can go enjoy some shopping or ice cream and come back at your time.

There is so much to see and do at Disney Springs for every member of your family. From shopping to entertainment and so many dining options you can truly spend a day here or relax here each evening. Let us help you plan your trip to Disney World and make personalized recommendations for your family so you don’t miss any of the exciting things happening. Remember, all our planning services are at no cost for our clients!
