Disney tried to turn Disney Springs into both a tourist destination and a locals' mall, and in the process, it failed at being either special or uniquely Disney. Most of the stores you can find back home. Meanwhile, the parks close earlier and earlier, funneling stranded resort guests into what is essentially an upscale outdoor shopping center. The older iterations of downtown Disney were more tourist-oriented, but that's never coming back - it's too much of a money maker for them now.
I spend so much money on airfare, hotels, food, and out of state AP. I’m not spending my time at the mall.
