Disney Springs Project Update - MARCH 2015

Visiting the Downtown Disney area in the next few months? If you are planning on doing so, you will be happy to know that some of the (many) walls that have been up for months around multiple areas of this entertainment district were recently removed, providing a much better experience to Guests. Of course, we are still in the middle of the biggest expansion in Downtown Disney's history, so there's still a lot to do. Let's see what was done in the past few weeks.

Here is a snapshot of several projects that have either been completed or that are still underway this week at the Downtown Disney Area (feel free to click on the links to learn more about the new locations):
