How much does it cost to go to Disney Springs?

Disney Springs (which was known as Downtown Disney up until September of 2015) is a shopping and entertainment area that's free for anybody to enter and while the recent Disney Springs construction was lengthy, the end result was well worth it.



It costs $0 to enter Disney Springs, as there is no admission fee for this shopping, dining, and entertainment district at Walt Disney World. Furthermore, standard self-parking is free in the various parking garages (Orange, Lime, and Grapefruit) and surface lots, making it one of the most budget-friendly activities on Disney property. While entry and parking are free, your total cost will depend on your choice of entertainment and dining. You can enjoy free live music at various outdoor stages, or spend money on "Enchanting Extras" like the Aerophile tethered balloon ride (approx. $30 per adult), a movie at AMC, or a show like Drawn to Life by Cirque du Soleil. Dining ranges from affordable "Quick Service" spots like Earl of Sandwich (meals for $12–$15) to high-end "Signature Dining" at The Boathouse or STK Steakhouse (where dinner can easily exceed $100 per person). In 2026, it remains the premier destination for guests wanting a "Disney fix" without the high price of a theme park ticket.
