The parks aren’t the only place to find magic!
There is a world of endless possibilities at Disney, where the magic extends far beyond enchanting attractions! If you’re looking for relaxation, shopping, water park thrills or entertainment, there’s something for everyone!
DIsney Springs
Disney Springs is the outdoor shopping, entertainment and dining area of Walt Disney World.
Hungry? Try the Chicken Biscuits at Southern Style restaurant Homecomin’ or grab a famous cookie at Gideons Bakehouse. Enjoy a wine tasting event at Wine Bar George. Take a ride on the Aerophile Balloon, ride the lake in an Amphicar, hit up great shopping like the Lego Store and stay for a performance of Cirque du Soleil.

Water Parks
Disney has two water parks: Blizzard Beach, a wintery themed park and Typhoon Lagoon, a tropical hideaway.

Both parks are a perfect mix of excitement and relaxation - from some of the world’s tallest water slides to Lazy Rivers - it has something for the whole family.
*Main Street 101 Tip: Starting in 2025, Resort guests can visit the water parks - FOR FREE - the day of their check in. Blizzard Beach Water Park is currently closed for refurbishments.
