Just over a month ago I was able to spend an exciting extended weekend at the place where dreams come true! Walt Disney World! And while there, I noticed that the maps for Downtown Disney were hinting that the official name change was soon to come. While they said “Downtown Disney,” more importantly they also said “Soon to be Disney Springs” in much larger font. It was a tease for something to come and much sooner than I had expected. But it’s official! Downtown Disney is now Disney Springs and with that simple swapping of words, comes the excitement of everything yet to come. While the whole area already looks much different, the plans for a new chocolate shop, more restaurants, stores (Lilly Pulitzer, I’ve got my eye on you!) and the NBA Experience, it’s clear that Disney isn’t done yet with the future of Disney Springs. They’re just getting started and I’m more than happy with that.  😉

 

 

Billboards fit for an Ant-man (or woman)

Although this is apparently old news (I’ve found articles going back to April on this), I had to chuckle when I ran across a particular type of ad campaign for the newest Marvel big picture, Ant-man. All across Downtown Disney (and according to Reddit, random places across Australia) tiny billboards advertising the new movie have popped up. There are pictures of the tiny ads next to benches, on trashcans and even in a garden patch outside Planet Hollywood. I don’t know if it’s enough to make me want to see the movie, but its piqued my interest!
