- For this video, I'll provide a beginners overview of all that Disney Springs has to offer inside the Walt Disney World resort. I'll provide a tour of each of its four neighbourhoods, covering the shopping and attraction highlights, then in part 2 I'll be doing a top 20 ranking of my favourite places to eat, including both quick service and table service.

Nice!
GREAT, We are taking my wife and sister-in-law out for their birthdays to Disney Springs. I really like that you give every restaurant a "this is what they are good at " and also, " if you are not into.... there are better choices" so you give both the good and the bad and let us make an informed choice. Thanks a bunch.
No problem, thanks for watching!Yeah I always try to do that otherwise you’re basically just making a promo for Disney.
Your videos are so much easier to absorb than other Disney videos.
Thank you Gordon appreciate that 😁👍
I love how thorough your guides are. I know I always mention this, but I used to live a day's drive away, and your videos and guides are more helpful than those of the locals! ❤️🌹👍🏼
That means a lot! Never get tired of hearing it, many thanks! 😁
I absolutely love love love Disney springs! We sat on the balcony of Winebar George sipping cocktails watching the world go by on my last visit,it was amazing. Can't wait to go back.
love seeing the sunset from the wine bar George balcony 😁
We plan on doing just that during our next trip.
Been there some that. be back in a few months and can't wait. Probably why I'm watching this.
Been there some that. Geesh!
Why does this stupid device keep changing my spelling?
Your videos are next level mate. So informative and easily digestible. Keep up the great work.
Much appreciated Allan, thank you 😁

OK. Viva Amerikai Egyesult Allamok./USA./Florida: Orlando 2023. ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
I like shopping and browsing at the Disney’s Days of Christmas shop. Earl of Sandwich is my go to for a quick bite. Chef Art’s is another favorite for me as well. I haven’t been to Gideon’s Bakehouse there, but I always stop by the other location on Corrine Dr. They take online orders which is very helpful, considering it’s tight spot and limited parking at that location. Great video and as always it’s great hearing from you! 😊
Yeah Earl of Sandwich is good. I included it in a previous script but the video was getting too long. Gideon’s is great, haven’t tried the other location. Wish we had one in the uk! Thanks for watching 😁
I watch Disney Springs videos whenever I can and yours is easily the best when it comes to overview and understanding. So well put together 👍. Nicely done 😊
Thank you Mike, much appreciated 😁
Great vlog thankyou.
I love Disney Springs & partial to a Gideons cookie regardless of the queue! 😊
We love Earl of sandwich & Chicken Guy for a quick fill. Definitely need to extend our pallete next trip 😂 x
Thank you! I very nearly had earl of sandwich in the top 20. Good low price pick 👍
As a fellow brit yours videos are brilliant !! No waffling about, straight ro the point and full of content. Cheers
Great video ❤ We have visited Orlando 5 times over 9 years and we love it so much. This will help us chose our next trips meals as theres too much to walk round and look at every menu. Thanks for the video. Homecoming is my favourite place to eat so far, followed by The Boathouse 🎉
I love all your videos, both your channels are fantasic, thank you 😊
I love Rainforest Cafe. The food prices are reasonable for a Applebees tier food with amazing atmosphere.
Top quality video. Very detailed but never feels long. We love going to Disney Springs. Raglan Road, Jock Lindsay's and Gideons are our favorite places.
LOL at 25.27 there is my husband in blue, queuing for his favourite food! You’re quite right about small portions....🤣
In polite pig? That’s awesome!
Love these vids mate! Nice & clear, well put together. Looking forward to others 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Jamie 😁
Your videos are my favoriate because they are to the point and easy to follow!
Another brilliant video mate. Looking to go here for the first time in December so just what I needed!👍
Thanks Callum, glad you found it useful. Hope you have an awesome trip 👍
Great content 👍 will watch again closer to our trip in Nov 🤗 enjoy all your videos 👍
Glad to see you back mate, always look forward to your content 👍
😁😁
I do like Planet Hollywood. The atmosphere there.
Thanks for the video, I was trying to figure out what Disney Springs is and then realised it was previously Downtown Disney. It's been 15yrs since I was there, going back over in Feb '24 and can't wait.
Love these videos. Really getting me excited for going in October.
Thank you Scott, hope you have the best time 😁
Amazing!
You are!
Another amazing video ❤ I absolutely love your channel.❤❤❤
Thank you 😁😁
As always, great work. Love your videos 👌👌👌
Thank you Javier 😁
Ayeee would love to come here someday! Nice vid as always
😁👍
Totally agree mate with your number one pick, we went twice to boathouse and thought it was brilliant
👌
This was a very helpful video. We are going for the first time this weekend.
Hope you have a great trip 😁
WooHoo! I was surprised to see a restaurant I've actually eaten at come in at #1 considering I've only been to Disney Springs once and it was four years ago lol. The food really was great. What an awesome dining experience.
Many things have changed 😃In June or July 2008 I've been with my family in Disney Downtown (Disney Springs) for the very 1st time.We met some friends from our german hometown there and had a dinner together at the Planet Hollywood.
Superb video, so informative. Hopefully more soon! Thank you!
Much appreciated 😁👍
Why oh why have we not have an equivalent in the UK 😢 love disney springs. With regards the Boathouse though, last visit we had great service, great food but the worst lounge bar style music I have ever heard...but it was so bad it actually made us laugh 😂 so perhaps others would give it retro marks lol this year we got FOC tickets for cirque so will give City Works a go and let you know what we find. Totally get the Rainforest comments when our children were young this was our go to place, and of course with my name got a kick out of Tracy tree (albeit the wrong spelling 😅)
Rainforest cafe in Animal Kingdom messed up our order so bad last time it became very embarrassing 🙈. Kids love it though.
Ah yes, last year we took our granddaughter (4) similar experience, it's such a pity as great atmosphere. Next year we have other grandchildren coming too, so will be looking for those child friendly/fun restaurants. This year it's just us as an older couple...lots of Dining and cocktails planned :)
I love your videos. Great narration and music. 👍
Thank you very much! 😁
Absolutely outstanding overview as usual. Your videos have been the main source of info (and excitement!) for us as we build up to our trip in 3 weeks’ time. Big props for the amount of effort you put into all this, thank you! We’ll be staying on I-Drive opposite Icon Park - slightly off topic for your video, but do you have any recommendations for Icon Park restaurants or near there??
Thank you for that! Off the top of my head, I’d say cafe tu tu tango, tin roof, fogo de chao, longhorn steakhouse and Charley’s steakhouse 👍
@@TheFrugalBrit Thanks for taking the time to reply, and thanks for the tips! Really appreciate it. It’s our first time over there since 2015 so I’m guessing quite a bit has changed. Keep doing what you do, it’s so helpful and entertaining!
I so much preferred when it was Downtown Disney. It's become an enormous shopping tourist trap. Stores and shops jam packed end to end. It's basically an outdoor shopping mall.
People’s favourites will always be personal choice/budgets. However I absolutely agree that Planet Hollywood is an awful restaurant and would never be in my top twenty. I only go when I’m with visitors and I’ve let them choose or we haven’t booked. PH always has tables available. Great video. Always recommend your channel to friends coming out.
Much appreciated! Yeah I’d have to agree with your assessment of PH.
I was wondering when the next video would be posted yesterday 🤣🤣 another great review!!! STK prices are ridiculous especially when comparing them to Steakhouse 71!
Much appreciated! Yes STK wouldn’t be my first pick for that reason.
I learn new things about Disney springs, very informative video (:
Glad you found it useful 😁
I love your videos!
Thank you Maureen 😁
Excellent content and delivery
Thank you Marc 😁
I'd go to Planet Hollywood just to see the Sopranos Track Jacket worn by Paulie heh heh
👌
I enjoyed Planet Hollywood as a movie nerd. I had a good time.
Some cool stuff no doubt!
I went to The House of Blues for Dreams tour, and I have to say, its one of the coolest and most wacky venues I've seen in my life.
Great video as always! Downtown Dis......err I mean Disney Springs has changed a bunch since we were last there. I doubt if even half of your top 20 list even existed then. I had only eaten at T-rex and for me it wouldn't have made the top 20, but we all have different taste and Cooke's of Dublin. As for the others, there were always places around WDW we wanted to eat at more. Cooke's has discontinued our favorites, they had little battered sausages {Raglan Road may still have them) and a battered hamburger that was to die for. Either one of those and a cup of the Dubliner cheese and bacon dip was fantastic. Also gone is what we considered to be the best counter service place on all of WDW property, Wolfgang Puck Express in the Marketplace, if you know you know. Very thorough guide to the new Downtown Dis...... opps there I go again, Disney Springs. Thanks!
Thank you Eric! Yes it took me a while to get used to the name chance. T-Rex was very lucky to make it in to the top 20! Wasn’t impressed with my last visit.
Couldn’t agree more with your top 3. We go to homecomin on each visit, the food and potions are incredible! Those thigh high chicken biscuits with the Mac and cheese are different level. We tried Boathouse in September last year, it is definitely our new favourite. I’m glad to see Wine bar George rated so high, as it’s on our list, but disappointed to see city works so low. I was really hoping the food would be decent, as I love to sample some of the beer flights I’m Orlando. We still might give it a go. How would you compare it to NBC bar and grill? I will watch this vlog many times before our trip. Thanks again.👍🏴
City world was good, but I think my expectations were too high. Very similar to NBC.
Boathouse is a top restaurant, been there 3 times and never disappointed. Would like to hear your view on whether voodoo doughnuts @ city walk is better than everglazed at Disney springs? Gideons as you say never disappoints, had a key lime cake slice on last visit, highly recommend. Great video as always 👍🏻
That’s a tough one. I think I’d have to lean towards Everglazed.
I’ve been to Disney Springs and I still cannot grasp it all, I’d have to rewatch your vlog again. I tried Cooke’s fish and chips, tastier than my local chippy, but the fish portion was very small for what I paid.
Marketplace also has a splash pad, which is great for hot days
True!
Great video 👌
Thank you Liam 😁
I always thought T Rex and Rainforest looked so cool. I go to Disney Springs usually 1-2 times a year.
FB .wow how this place has changed . Don’t remember it ever being so big . Had a coke on the roof coke bar myself . Great review . I expect nothing less 😊
I want to try the tray of drinks they do next time I’m there!
Great video 👍
Thank you 😁
I have been to Disney Springs a lot of times but I always somehow still get lost 🤦😁
It 100% takes a while to get used to!
I’m looking forward to go there, but you skipped one store, the M&Ms shop. I would pick T rex as my number 1, while the top 10 my last. Hope you can also show us new videos of Mickeys not so spooky Halloween party and about the Disney pins.
I’ve completely forgotten to cover M&M store, not sure what’s happened there, filmed it and everything 🙈
Love this and completely agree on Boathouse being number 1! The lobster roll gives you a good amount of lobster for a reasonable price, the city I live in has lobster rolls for the same price but a disappointing amount, plus Boathouse's quality in seafood is so good. I have to disagree on Wine Bar George, I was very disappointed in the food & the variety, they charged $10 for warm olives and the entrees are lackluster compared to the other options you can get in the area
Another top informative video, only a quick stop for us next time to erin mckenna bakery for the wife as she has coeliac and loves a doughnut. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Yeah I popped my head in to film it but never got anything from there. My Mrs is allergic to wheat so has a gluten free diet too. Will be taking her there on our next visit.
@The Frugal Brit - Orlando The Mrs got some stuff last year in there, said it was good. Have you found any good place to eat with the Mrs in Universal Resort?
i am planning a trip to disney in august how would i make a reservation? are they day of for t rex? going with the littles and they would love it
Heading over from the UK end of June/start of July. Just wondering does the thunderstorms affect your holiday much? Or do they pass pretty quickly
Hi Stuart! They can have an impact, but you can always plan round it (rest days etc). Rain storms usually pass quite quickly.
I loved Paddlefish and am looking forward to Chef Arts and the Boathouse. I am not sure if we will be able to do both.
That’s a tough one! Maybe Homecomin for something different?
I love chicken guy!
The Lego Dragon is in fact the Loch Ness Monster. Dragons have wings but no humps, Nessie has humps
Good knowledge!
When will you be going back to Disney? Your Vlogs are so informative.
I was there a few weeks ago. Will likely post another Disney World video next.
Nailed it
😁
@The Frugal Brit - Orlando you know u did haha 😄
Wine bar George for me!
Hey everyone. Does anyone know if there are Disney cast members assistance at Disney Springs?
If not where could we set up a DAS Pass?
Loved Boathouse when we were on the Dining Plan… but looking at the prices now, that lobster roll (which is pretty small) comes in at over $40… feels a bit rich.
One of the only downsides of the quick service restaurants is there is never enough indoor seating and it always rains around dinner time..
Such an amazing video, thank you for making these! I was wondering if going to Disney Springs and parking for free is a good way to avoid costs for parking to go to the disney parks? Or is that too far away
Thank you! Yes itcan be done, but I’m not sure I’d recommend it. Will use up quite a lot of time.
Call me an old fogey, but I’ll never forgive Disney for shutting down Pleasure Island!! Still miss Comedy Warehouse and Especially the sublime Adventurers Club (and a hearty “Kungaloosh!” to anyone else who fondly remembers this place too!)
Haha, I thought ‘old fogey’ was just a British expression for some reason. I was 7 when they rebranded as downtown Disney so didn’t get a chance to experience it properly 😢
@@TheFrugalBrit nope…also prevalent in upstate New York apparently! Pity you couldn’t have seen the place back the the 90’s and 2000’s! (You were 7? Wow, I feel old! My younger daughter was 7 the last time we visited Adventurers Club!)
Adventurers Club was one of my most fun and unexpected experiences I've had in the Orlando area! I know times change but that sure seemed like a winner to me for any entertainment area!
All the 7 dance clubs I remember going into.
@@edvaira6891upstate as in Oswego?
Love your videos you are my favourite go to for information.
Amazing! Much appreciated 😁👍
the only thing that would have made this video better would have been you playing the springs bg track through it.
Yes! Love the music 😁
Is it a far drive from Universal Studios orlando? I'm planning my trip for April.
Not too far, about 25-30 mins 👍
@TheFrugalBrit thank you so much, friend 🙏🏾
Walt disney springs it like cool place looks fun small downtown my name is Heather ha watching youtube
Do you need to pay any ticket to enter Disney spring?
No ticket 😁
My autocaption called them "Dull Whips." Sacrilege.
Disgraceful!
OK. Viva Amerikai Egyesult Allamok./USA./Florida: Orlando 2023. ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
I really wish I could go out all the time and travel to everywhere I want to visit. It would mean the world to me to go to new places everyday. Please send me all your hopes and wishes that I do all the time
Can we drive to Disney springs? Is there anywhere to park?
Yeah there’s free parking 👍😁
@@TheFrugalBritThanks 😊
Basically restaurants and a balloon
Err.... I'm from the UK, and I don't say garage the way you say it mate. You'll find many DON'T! 😏
Do you shoot your own B roll?
I do indeed. But in a couple clips from the vid I give credit in the top left (jaleo and boathouse exterior).
@@TheFrugalBrit My wife runs her own travel agency and we really enjoy your videos. The production quality is excellent.
I think that Disney should switch to Pepsi.
This is a great guide for Disney Springs. I can't believe so many people skip it on their trips to Disney World. Great shopping, evening entertainment and some of the best restaurants on property! Thanks Frugal! 😁
Indeed, can’t wait to go back!! Much appreciated 😁
People skip it! That's mad, it is so terrific. Can't wait to be back later this year.
