Disney Springs on a Dime: A Budget-Friendly Day with Little Ones
When you think of Walt Disney World, you might think of theme parks, fireworks, and characters—but there’s another destination that’s full of magic, and the best part? It doesn’t require a park ticket!
This Disney hotspot is Disney Springs, and it is an excellent place for young families on a budget to enjoy Disney magic without breaking the bank.
Here is how you can enjoy a budget-friendly day at Disney Springs for under $40!
The Disney Springs Art Walk
Start your fun with the Disney Springs Art Walk, where you can enjoy a stunning collection of over 20 murals created by global and local artists.
Be sure to stop at one of the newest additions, Against All Odds by Brandon Hill, part of the Celebrate Soulfully initiative. It’s like walking through an outdoor museum, and it is fantastic.
Bright, cultural, and completely free.
Coffee at Joffrey’s
No Disney day starts without caffeine! Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company boasts plenty of delicious drinks, including the Frozen Cappuccino Dream with Caramel, which is a must-try.
Joffrey’s is Walt Disney World’s official specialty coffee! In addition to their regular offerings, they also have delicious seasonal options.
Visit the LEGO Store
The next stop is the LEGO Store, where the interactive play stations are perfect for young ones and toddlers.
Kids can design a mini figure at the LEGO Minifigure Factory, and it is the perfect spot to beat the heat and watch their creativity bloom. Be sure to make your Minifigure Factory appointment online at least one week in advance as these fill up fast!
Whimsical Rides for Young Disney Fans
There are even rides at Disney Springs! The Marketplace Carousel and Marketplace Train Express are perfect for young kids (and the young at heart).
Each ride is just $5, and one parent rides free!
Bonus Fun: A River Cruise & Mickey Beignets
Complete your morning with a relaxing Sassagoula River Cruise from Disney Springs to Port Orleans – French Quarter. The best part? It’s also free!
The scenic 15-minute boat ride is perfectly tranquil and leads you to one of Disney’s tastiest treats at the resort: Mickey-shaped beignets!
Check Out Disney Springs
From art walks to tasty treats, Disney Springs is a great place to visit and provides plenty of magical memories, all without the price of a theme park ticket.
These were just a few of the fantastic offers, but there is even more and every visit is different: Aerophile balloon, Splitsville bowling, or the Drawn to Life Cirque du Soleil show are more great options.
