Downtown Disney Transforms Into Disney Springs!

Posted on
Downtown Disney has been in transformation for over two years, with a slew of new restaurants and shops opening over the past months. Signage has also been added through the past year with the moniker Disney Springs, but that name is now official as of yesterday, September 29th, 2015. This past week has seen the opening of two new venues. Last week, the already extremely popular Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar opened to rave reviews. We were the first in the door when it opened to the public, and we had the opportunity to go back during a media event that included a visit to not only Jock Lindsey's, but also the new Morimoto Asia. In between the two restaurants, we attended a brief ceremony to cap off the Disney Springs name change.

To keep ahead of the constant demand for cash the Disney Company entered into partnerships with a number of companies and groups who "sponsored" different aspects of the project. One of those partnerships was with the Florida Citrus Commission, which would sponsor a $3 million pavilion in Adventureland and a massive marketing campaign began using the little Orange Bird.
