One of the best things about Disney Springs is that it never really looks the same two weekends in a row. You can walk the same loop from The Landing through Town Center a dozen times over a summer and still stumble onto something you did not expect. A merchandise pop-up that was not there last Saturday. A live band ...

But every now and then, something unusual happens on the retail side of the parks. And right now, that’s exactly what guests are starting to notice across multiple locations. Just a few months into 2026, Disney appears to ...

In the The Walt Disney Company’s corporate history, 2021 is often remembered as the year the “magic” left the local mall.
