Even more closures have happened at Disney World since the start of the new year. Now, there are two more shops added to the list of permanent closures. Find out what stores are now closed.
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is a fun pace to dine, shop and play! Here you can find almost anything! You will find some of the best restaurants and shops. There is 103 places to shop, 66 places to eat, and 25 places to play (attractions, shows and events).
Disney Springs is free to visit and that includes parking! Disney World Resort Hotels also offers complimentary transportation. I (Heather) love to go to Disney Springs for a little shopping and food.
Recent Closures
The first Disney Spring shop to close in the new Year was The Art of Shaving at the Landing in Disney Springs. This was one of the few remaining brick-and-mortar locations, but it seems that the company is moving towards an online shopping model.
Fans of The Art of Shaving will still be able to enjoy their products through online ordering. You can read more about this closure HERE.
More Store Closures
Two more shops in Disney Springs are now permanently closed. Alex and Ani and Swings N’ Things are now closed.
Alex and Ani was located in Town Center at Disney Springs. This was a jewelry shop that sold wire charm bangles, rings, earrings and necklaces. Disney’s website described it as a boutique “where every eco-friendly piece represents an empowering ideal.”
Swings N’ Things The Hammock Experts Kiosk was located at the Marketplace at Disney Springs. Disney’s website states “this speciality kiosk offers a wide range of lounge-worthy hammocks and porch swings that can easily enhance your vision for an indoor or outdoor paradise.”
Right now, it has not been announced what will replace either of these two shops. Unfortunately, you will no longer be able to enjoy these shops at Disney Springs, but you can still purchase items from these shops online!
What do you think of these closures? Are you sad to see these shops go? What do you hope to see come to Disney Springs? Let us know in the comments below. Be sure to share this pot with a friend.
Share the love!

Would love to see a store with meaningful jewelry like InspirationCo.com at Disney Springs. I’ve seen there stores opening all over the country and think they’re a good fit
