Disney Springs in Orlando

Unless you are going to one of the larger nighttime places (like Spitsville, the movie theater, House of Blues), we find the Lime parking garage the best for afternoon activities. As you drive in, you'll see Orange first, then Lime. It's a long walk from Orange to the shopping area, so don't be tempted! And yes, parking is free with no time limit. Also note that one of the old surface lots still exists to the east of Lime, but it may be reserved for valet-only parking.

The store next to the Ghirardelli ice cream shop hands out free Ghirardelli chocolate samples inside. It's a great little snack for you (and your kids), and if you are at Disney Springs long enough, you can get one as you enter and stop back as you leave! They usually have multiple flavors, so I always ask if you can try two!
