On-going Disney Springs construction and re-modeling continues. I visited last week and have to say since the construction and remodel is now taking place in isolated areas, Disney Springs is much easier to navigate through then it was last year. I can’t wait for the entire area to be complete – it’s looking like it will be fabulous!
