A prime example of this is taking place now in Town Center, the final phase of the new Disney Springs shopping and entertainment district. Let’s take a look at the story that brings Disney Springs to Life.Disney Springs Construction 2015According to the Disney Parks Blog, “At the heart of Disney Springs is a bubbling spring located in Town Center that represents not only the power and beauty of nature, but optimism and possibilities.
