Downtown Disney or Disney Springs?

[WDW95]

Which name do you think is better for Walt Disney World's dining, shopping, and entertainment complex?

Downtown Disney or Disney Springs?

 

[Clamman73]

Is Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village a choice?

I think Disney Springs will just be the name for the whole new section not the whole area. Kinda like Pleasure Island and Downtown Disney. Its pretty much taking up where Pleasure Island was.

Nope. The Downtown Disney name is being dropped entirely for the Disney Strings name.

Ah okay thank you! . It fits though because it is across the water from Saratoga Springs Resort.

Not sure how it fits. Saratoga Springs is a real place in New York whereas Disney Springs is supposed to be an old Florida town.

Disney Springs

I prefer Downtown Disney. For some reason, Disney Springs makes me think of a ski resort in Aspen or something.

 

[ToyStoryMiss]

Downtown Disnet FTW.
Disney Springs is just..no. If it's for the one section, that's one thing. But renaming the whole thing Disney Springs? Nope. Nopenopenopetynopenopenope. I like my WDW classic. None of this Disney Springs or FastPass+ crap.

It will always be Downtown for me just like People Mover was always People Mover and HS is MGM. Maybe they thought Disney Springs looks better on the bus signs still just a place to shop.

 

[Susan Savia]

Downtown Disney.

 

[Obi Walt Kenobi]

You could combine them and make it Downtown Disneys Springs. Lol!

 

[Clancy Wiggum]

Some people still call Riverside by its original name--Dixie Landings. TTA is Wedway People Mover to some (I'm guilty of this one--to some degree). I suspect it will be the same with Downtown Disney, or even Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village. On and on it goes as Disney renames things.

As for me, whether or not I think Disney Springs is more appropriate for the newly re-imagined Downtown Disney is something that will have to wait until I see Disney Springs upon its completion. It is hard to imagine until the Springs are in place anyways.

It will always be MGM to me and it will always be Downtown Disney. Disney Springs sounds like a South Florida retirement home.

"Attention Disney Spring residents...it is now 4pm, time to take your meds, change your depends, and dinner is now being served."

 

[imagineer boy]

Downtown Disney is easily better. It instantly evokes an up scale shopping area with dining and entertainment with a modern Disney twist. Disney Springs sounds like a retirement villa. There was really no need to change the name.

 

[AintNoOtherMan]

I actually really like the name Disney Springs. Downtown Disney is nice, but I prefer Disney Springs.

 

[LivFreeorDisney]

I like the name downtown when it was a place where you could hit the bars and dance clubs. But now that its being turned into a strip mall, I say retire the name and memories.

 

[jw24]

Disney Springs to me sounds like the name of a spa or a golf course. So I prefer Downtown Disney name.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Downtown Disney, it just sounds like it has more hustle and bustle. Disney Springs sounds kind of snooty.
