Q2. Is Downtown Disney now Disney Springs?
Yes, Downtown Disney is now called Disney Springs. The official rebranding occurred on September 29, 2015, as part of a comprehensive $1.1 billion renovation and expansion project. While the name changed, the location remains the same – situated between Walt Disney World’s theme parks and resort hotels. The transformation expanded the area from 75 to over 150 venues, creating a themed waterfront shopping, dining, and entertainment district that maintains its original purpose while offering significantly more experiences.
Q3. Is Disney Springs free to enter?
Yes, Disney Springs is completely free to enter. There is no admission fee or ticket required to enjoy this outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment district at Walt Disney World. Visitors can freely explore all areas, window shop, enjoy live entertainment, and experience the atmosphere without any cost. The only expenses are for purchases like food, shopping, and certain activities such as the Aerophile balloon ride or Splitsville bowling.
Q4. Does it cost money to walk around Disney Springs?
No, walking around Disney Springs is completely free. There are no tickets or entry fees required to explore the entire outdoor complex. The only costs involved are if you choose to make purchases from shops, dine at restaurants, or participate in paid activities like the hot air balloon ride or bowling.
Q5. Why is food at Disney so expensive?
Disney food carries higher prices due to several key factors:
- Operating Costs – Disney pays premium rates for prime location spaces and maintains exceptionally high cleanliness standards
- Quality Ingredients – Many restaurants use premium, often locally-sourced ingredients with strict quality control
- Themed Experience – Prices include the immersive dining atmosphere and character interactions
- Labor Costs – Disney provides comprehensive employee benefits and training programs
- Convenience Factor – Located within destination resorts where guests have limited alternatives
- Brand Premium – Disney’s reputation allows for pricing above market averages
The pricing reflects not just the food but the complete Disney dining experience, consistent quality, and convenient location within the parks and resorts.
Q6: Is Disney World free after 7pm?
No, Disney World is not free after 7pm. While you don’t need a park reservation for entry after 7 PM, you still must have valid theme park admission to enter any of the four main theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom). The only exception is Disney Springs, which is always free to enter and does not require any ticket or reservation at any time.
Q7. What is the Disney 2pm rule?
The Disney 2pm rule has two key applications:
For Annual Passholders: They can enter any Walt Disney World theme park without a reservation after 2:00 PM, except Magic Kingdom on weekends which requires reservations at all times.
For Park Hopper Tickets: The 2pm rule no longer exists – guests can visit multiple parks anytime after entering their first reserved park.
Important: All guests need valid admission and must make initial park reservations where required. Park Hopper benefits automatically apply after first park entry. Check Disney’s official website for current policies as rules may change.
