Downtown Disney's Expansion Announcement Today

Today may end up being a grand day for the Downtown Disney District here in Central Florida.

Indeed, according to WDWMagic (an unofficial Walt Disney World Resort fan site), the official plans for the major expansion project that will involve all three districts of Downtown Disney will be unveiled later this morning. Rumors point to new multi-level garages, many new retail stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, and attractions. In addition to that, a name change is also expected for the whole area ("Disney Springs" is one of the names that have been going around the fan communities for months). Will all of this be announced? Is there more in store (no pun intended) for Guests? We are about to find out.

Stay tuned here on Orlando Theme Park News and on the Disney Parks Blog for the announcement!

UPDATE - It looks like today's announcement had to be delayed due to weather. We'll keep you informed.
