During my Disney College Programs, I spent a fair amount of time at Disney Springs. It is close to the DCP housing complexes, and there are a lot of different things to do there. One of my favorite things to do there was shop! So today I have compiled a list of my favorite stores to shop at when I’m at Disney Springs, to give you some ideas about what is available!
Sephora
I’ll admit, I’m a girl who loves makeup and I love to use a lot of different colors in my makeup. I am always trying new things out, so Sephora is one of my go-to shops even when I’m not at Disney. However, the Sephora in Disney Springs occasionally has discount days for Cast Members. I definitely took advantage of this during my Disney College Program!
Vera Bradley
One of my best friends who worked with me at Disney World took a second job at the Vera Bradley in Disney Springs. Not only does this Vera Bradley have exclusive Disney prints, but I learned more about their products through my friend and their stuff is really good quality. I’ve had planners from them that I’ve actually really loved using. My Vera Bradley purse is my go-to purse, and it is as good as new even though I’ve had it for a few years now. I like popping in to this store to see the different seasonal patterns.
Sugarboo & Co
My friend showed me this store and I instantly fell in love. Everything in there is so cute and inspirational, and fits the kind of aesthetic that I love. I could literally spend hours in this store without getting bored because I am constantly finding new treasures to enjoy at every turn.
Disney Pin Traders
I dabble in pin trading, and this store is so much fun because all the cast members will pin trade with you! You can also see a ton of pins available for sale, so there is a lot to look at.
Disney Days of Christmas
This is a Christmas/Holiday themed shop but it is open all year round. It has a ton of Disney ornaments, which I think are the perfect gifts for your loved ones around the holidays.
Goofy's Candy Company
I have a huge sweet tooth, so I like to frequent candy stores even just to smell the sweetness. But I usually end up going home with a bag of goodies.
Candy Cauldron
Same reasonings as the previous shop on this list!
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop
I love chocolate and all things sweet, so this is a place I like to frequent. The best part is, you get a free chocolate when you enter the shop, so you don’t even need to spend money to get a sweet treat!
LEGO Imagination Center
I enjoy playing with LEGO but I’m not the most creative all the time and I don’t build with LEGO often at all. I love seeing the huge LEGO sculptures at/around this store. I think it is super fun, and there are stations in the store where you can play with LEGO a little bit. The sculptures are really a sight to see though!
Disney's Wonderful World of Memories
This shop sells photo frames, scrapbook supplies, and cards, among other things. I like looking at fun craft supplies, so while I don’t buy much from here it is definitely fun to look around and get some inspiration. They also sell a bunch of other types of souvenirs, so if you’re looking for that, this could be a great place to go!
Alex & Ani
I have several Alex & Ani Disney bracelets, which I think are super cute. They also aren’t super expensive, so these can be a great souvenir for you that you’ll actually get some use out of. Definitely stop by to see their Disney-specific items!
Pandora
I was introduced to Pandora at the small shop on Main Street in Magic Kingdom (it was one of the shops I worked at during my Disney College Program). And while the jewelry is expensive, I honestly love it. And they have Disney-specific items that are definitely worth checking out!
