Over the weekend, I paid a visit to Disney Springs to go to the movies (I saw “Hail Caesar!”, which I highly recommend if you love the Hollywood of the 1930’s and 40’s, similar to the era represented at Hollywood Studios), and I took some newsworthy photos to share while I was there. Let’s take a look at what’s new and exciting at what was Downtown Disney:

Greenery now growing on the Orange parking structure

Got artsy…

STK will have a great waterside view

Work continues on the new bus loop

As well as the second parking structure

Work happening on the backside of the Coca-Cola location

Not much progress has been made on the Planet Hollywood exterior

Zootopia banners outside of the AMC

Work continues on The Edison, Walt’s Lounge, and Neverland Underground in The Landing

Walls near DisneyQuest

It looks like all of the sunrise high-line is finally complete, not that the structures have any real use…

Italian Ice now greets guests as they enter from the West Side

A look at the construction in The Landing from the waterside

Jock Lindsay’s has become one of my favorite lunch spots at WDW

The menu just keeps getting better and the drinks and service are fantastic!

A look at the Town Center from The Landing

The backside of T-Rex is complete. It’s not pretty, but it’s done.

The Springs have appeared!

These shots have me fairly excited to see the finished product

Two new small kiosks have popped up by Fulton’s

The Town Center area connecting to Marketplace

Goofy’s Candy Co. got a new paint job… it’s not perfect…

It’s really rough in some areas

See?

Art of Disney locations are now carrying the new Enesco character maquette figures

These are the spiritual successors to the old Walt Disney Classics Collection, but I don’t see them succeeding in the same fashion

Disney Days of Christmas has resort specific ornamanets

Not all resorts have one, but I think they all will soon enough

Some new open edition pins

Some new pieces at the Wonderground Gallery

The ceramic Moonliner figures are finally in stock at Marketplace Co-Op

The Marketplace parking structure as seen from World of Disney

They actually had the Nautilus mugs in stock

The new Minnie Mouse line includes not just the pillow we showed you earlier this week, but also a blanket and storage bins

Work continues on STK, which should open soon…
