Disney Vacation Day 1: Disney Springs
As some of you may already know, I’m in Orlando this week for Christmas vacation! I’ve been posting a ton on my Instagram stories with all that I’ve been up to. My family and I flew down to Atlanta on Christmas day and spent Christmas day with my family that lives there. Then, the next day we all drove down to Orlando to spend a few days in Disney and one day at Universal.
After a long drive, our first evening was spent at Disney Springs to walk around and get dinner. Disney Springs is so much nicer and classier than when I came back in high school and college. Over the years they have updated the area and in recent years totally revamped it and changed the name from Downtown Disney to Disney Springs in fact. With it decked out for Christmas, it is beautiful! My hotel is a short walk away from Disney Springs which is nice. Below are some photos!
A few of the pictures are out of order, but it doesn’t matter – you get the idea of the pretty-ness!
It’s been a great few days so far, but so tiring! Hopefully from the handful of photos above you get the idea of how gorgeous it is at Disney Springs during the holidays. The area is quite large and it’s filled with restaurants and shops. As I mentioned above, we did eat dinner there that night but I’m saving all my food photos for a separate food post!
I took a lot of short video clips but I don’t want to overwhelm you with images and videos so here’s one to hopefully help you get a sense of the magical feel!
I’ll be back tomorrow with Day 2 which was Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios!

Did you see the Christmas tree trail behind the Christmas store where the old bus stop used to be?

Hmm I’m not sure. I don’t remember seeing it but we spent much of the time trying to figure out where we were haha

Guessing you didn’t see it then because it was a trail of trees all decorated themed to different Disney movies & characters.

We were gonna go up there a couple weeks ago to see the decorations but my boyfriend’s band had a gig scheduled and it messed up our plans. I’m still a little ticked off about it.

I saw the sign last night when walking back to my hotel! I’m staying across from Disney Springs and have discovered it’s faster to catch the shuttle to Disney Springs than wait for my hotel shuttle. I was too tired and cold to walk through though – I just wanted to be back inside in my room in pajamas!

What hotel are you staying at? Sounds like the Wyndham, Hilton or Holiday Inn on Hotel Plaza Blvd.
