From the Disney Style blog
One of the best parts about going to Walt Disney World (besides the attractions and all the amazing food) is the shopping. We always have to pre-plan and leave room in our suitcase just to get all our souvenirs home! Well, our suitcases are about to be even more packed during Walt Disney World’s Coolest Summer Ever, because the new stores at Downtown Disney’s Disney Springs have everything you need.
Disney Springs, one of the new neighborhoods that is apart of the renovations at Downtown Disney, now features super cool shops like shoe stores Sanuk, and Havaianas, and digital sound store Sound Lion. We got to check out all the new options on our recent trip to Walt Disney World, and here are our favorites:
Apex by Sunglass Hut
When you’re out in the Florida sunshine all day, a pair of sunglasses is an absolute necessity. If you forgot your pair, or just need some new sunnies, head to Apex by Sunglass Hut. This sports-focused version of Sunglass Hut has a pair of sunglasses for every kind of outdoor activity. You can even customize your own pair of sunglasses right in store using a cool, interactive design computer. The coolest feature of the store? There’s a machine where you can test out your glasses in various settings, including skiing and cycling to see how the sunglasses work in real life settings.
Chapel Hats
A store devoted entirely to hats? Yes, please. We could spend way too much time at Chapel Hats trying on all the various styles they had. Trust us when we say there’s a hat for everyone here, including safari hats, steampunk-inspired styles, and our personal favorite, fascinators.
Erin Mckenna’s Bakery NYC
We’ve been big fans of BabyCakes ever since Erin McKenna opened a store in Los Angeles, and now we can get our vegan, gluten-free treats anytime we want in Downtown Disney! Whether you want donuts, cupcakes, cookies, or bagels, Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC has your sweet tooth covered (we highly recommend the brownies!)
