Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista -- exterior -- Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels

There is still time to make plans to experience the special events being conducted at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida this summer and fall, such as Frozen Summer Fun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, Night of Joy at Magic Kingdom® Park, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom® Park, and the Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival. A great way to experience these events, and to check out the many exciting additions and enhancements to the Downtown Disney® area as it evolves this Fall into Disney Springs, is by taking advantage of the special “End of Summer Value Rates” that are being offered by the seven Downtown Disney® Resort Area Hotels from August 1-October 4, 2015.

In addition to the hotels having an ideal location within an easy walk to more than 75 themed and immersive shopping, dining and entertainment venues at the Downtown Disney® area, the seven Official Walt Disney World® Hotels also provide complimentary shuttle transportation every 30 minutes to all four Walt Disney World® Theme Parks, two water parks, and to the Downtown Disney® area.

Street Party at Magic Kingdom® Park, with new music, new characters, and more audience interaction; a new Canadian Lumberjack Show at the Canada pavilion at Epcot®; and For the First Time in Forever:  AFrozen Sing-Along Celebration at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®.

Other new offerings in the Walt Disney World® Resort include Fantasyland® at Magic Kingdom® Park. It offers more immersive enchantment and interactive experiences, and features two new themed areas:  Enchanted Forest and Storybook Circus.

Storybook Circus attractions include:  The Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini; Dumbo The Flying Elephant®; Casey Jr Splash ‘N’ Soak Station; Pete’s Silly Sideshow; and Fantasyland Station.

What’s more, in 2015 the Downtown Disney® area will evolve in to Disney Springs® – adding new shopping, dining and entertainment venues for your enjoyment. This one-of-a-kind reimagined and reinvented destination will overflow with the sights, sounds and flavors that come together in a beautiful outdoor environment with a charming waterfront setting. An experience only made possible by the imagination of Disney, this vibrant destination will offer a mix of unique retail, distinct Disney shopping and incomparable dining offerings. Set amid beautiful open-air promenades and meandering springs, it will feature four distinct outdoor neighborhoods:  The Landing, Town Center, Marketplace, and West Side.

Well underway in the transformation, the Downtown Disney® area already has many enticing new offerings that are already open, which includes the upscale waterfront restaurant The Boathouse (from the creator of T-Rex CaféTM and Rainforest Café®), which specializes in steaks and seafood. Featuring an array of nautical-themed rooms, The Boathouse also has three bars and Amphicars that look like vintage convertibles but also can drive into the water and around the lake.

Almost a dozen shops also have recently opened, including Erwin Pearl Jewelry, Super Hero Headquarters store, Apex by Sunglass Hut, Chapel Hats, Havaianas shoe store, Sanuk, Sound Lion, Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC (which specializes in gluten-free and vegan baked goods), and men’s grooming store The Art of Shaving.

Also recently opened is Exposition Park, the permanent home to four Disney-owned food trucks, with delicious offerings from each of the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks. Plus, there is a new five-level parking garage with 4,000 spaces, and the new Village Causeway which provides guests another path of travel through the area.

In 2015, the pan-Asian restaurant Morimoto Asia, from “Iron Chef” favorite chef Masaharu Morimoto, is slated to open, as is the chic STK modern steakhouse restaurant from New York City.

Plus, a pedestrian bridge from the Downtown Disney Resort® Area Hotels to the Downtown Disney® (Disney Springs) area will be complete this fall, which will make it even easier for guests.

Guests purchasing tickets to the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks in advance also are now able to reserve access to some of your favorite Walt Disney World® experiences before you even leave home, with the Disney FastPass+ service – at no extra charge. Purchase your theme park admission online through the DowntownDisneyHotels.comwebsite, then visit StartYourDisneyExperience.com or download the MyDisneyExperience app on your mobile device or tablet to begin reserving your must do attractions. With valid park admission and online registration, you will be able to choose from more than double the previous number of experiences and skip the standby queue at the attractions that you selected in advance, and – for the first time ever – Fastpass+ service includes select Character Greetings, shows, parades and fireworks. You also have the ability to make changes anytime so that you can lock-in some of your must-do attractions and entertainment experiences, and relax and enjoy the moment with your family.

“This is a great time to visit the Walt Disney World® Resort,” said Doug Smith, chairperson of the Downtown Disney® Resort Area Hotels’ marketing committee. “The special events at the Walt Disney World® Resort are truly outstanding, the new offerings are terrific, and the attendance at the theme parks is often lighter. The special ‘End of Summer Value Rates’ simply provide even more incentive to visit.”
