Dine in Style in Disney Springs
You can find Disney Springs in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It is a major complex at the Walt Disney World Resort with outdoor entertainment, shopping, and dining. There are four sections including the West Side, Town Center, Marketplace, the Landing, and the Marketplace with 99 shops, 64 eateries, and 22 attractions.
