That sounds so nice. Now I wish I had gone into the Basin (at Disney Springs) when I was down there. Actually, the only souvenirs I bought this time were three different sets of decorative chop sticks from the Mitsukoshi Dept. Store at the Japan Pavilion at EPCOT. My hubby loves using chopsticks; he even uses them for cooking utensils, such as stirring liquids in pots on the stove, etc.
Speaking of Disney Springs (the new Landing), which just opened on Sunday --
Went down there Monday afternoon for a while. Because it was a new area, I was curious to check it out. It's always interesting to see something new. Well, IMO, that's about it. There's a bunch of new stores and nice-looking buildings housing them, but it's all trendy retailers--Alex and Ani, Sephora, Under Armour, Pandora, Sunglass Hut, and so on. Basically, go to any big city mall and you'll find all the same (boring) stores that are now down at the "new" Disney Springs.
The Marketplace area still maintains some of the older charm and Disney-inspired shops. Have to say, I prefer the Marketplace over Disney Springs. But for people who love to shop and enjoy all the latest trendy things, they'd probably love Disney Springs. Also, the new parking garages down at that end are really large, so they're definitely bringing in customers for the stores and restaurants.
