Just found out we will be in Orlando for 3 nights for DH Christmas party buuut they are doing everything at universal. We are driving ourselves though because we will have 3 littles with my mom and be 6 hours away...so we need to be able to come and go. The perk is that we plan on leaving early and hitting Disney springs before we have to be at the hotel. Any time we've gone before we had the kids and went to eat and do a little browsing but not much. What stores etc do y'all recommend checking out? Maybe even a good spot for lunch and or/drinks?? We've always eaten at blaze pizza and stayed pretty much confined to that area for shopping and browsing. There are so many options it's a little overwhelming knowing we can go anywhere lol!! I'm hoping that maybe we can head to MK one day we are there but we aren't sure what the itinerary is yet. And I don't know if I can convince DH to spend $300 on a side trip when we have annual passes waiting to be activated that I will most definitely not activate just for a few hours in the park....but oh man it's gonna be hard to be SO CLOSE and not walk in there.
)--no boats to POFQ, no fireworks, monorail stop at the Poly is closed until sometime summer 2021, there is no water parade, the only boats currently running are the boats going from MK to WL/FW (pretty sure it's not running from Contemp. to WL or FW). 
. Id still be ok with that though.
