Disney Springs Marketplace Tour
The Disney Springs area is free to visit, and you do not need any Disney World tickets to enter.
Rainforest Cafe
For casual dining in an amazing tropical rainforest setting, the Rainforest Café inside the Marketplace at Disney Springs is second to none. Guests dine among the feel of mists, the sound of cascading waterfalls, marvelous animated wildlife, real-life tropical fish, and an active volcano that erupts every 30 minutes!
Picky Eaters?
If you have picky eaters at your party, this is the place for you. The vast menu includes burgers, seafood, pasta, salads, chicken, steaks, and a variety of appetizers and salads. All entrees offer generous portions. We highly recommend the “Awesome Appetizer Adventure” which includes a sampling of chicken tenders, calamari, chimi-cha-cha (roasted chicken breast), and their famous Big Blue Crab Delight.
Retail Village
The adventure doesn’t stop there. The Retail Village offers a great shopping experience. You will find a unique selection of hats, t-shirts, and sweatshirts. There’s something here for the entire family as sizes range from infant to adult.
Once Upon A Toy
If it were up to the kids, they’d spend an entire day at this store. Once Upon a Toy offers classic games and toys, including Walt Disney World attraction toys and classic games with a unique Disney twist.
Games
You can, for example, enjoy classic board games like Candy Land and Monopoly in exclusive Disney versions. You can also purchase a revised version of the classic game Clue that is set inside of Disney’s Haunted Mansion theme park attraction.
Toys
There are five uniquely themed rooms here that sprawl over an incredible 16,000 square feet! Near the main entrance, there is a great interactive area where you can individually create your own customized Mr. Potato Head. You can pick out eyes, glasses, Disney-themed accessories, ears, feet, arms, and more! On top of that, you can use one of the many available computer-driven stations around the area that allows you to visualize what your creation will look like.
The Disney Imagineers have really outdone themselves with this one. It is one of the most interactive attractions in all of Disney Springs.
