Walt Disney World has launched a new video series detailing the transformation from Downtown Disney into Disney Springs. The first introductory video features Imagineer Theron Skees, executive creative director on the project. Included are new CG renderings of what areas of Disney Springs will look like as they begin to open in early 2015, continuing into 2016.

Guests gather outside a striking white building with grand arches, swaying palm trees, and three colorful flags flying proudly out front—an inviting scene straight from Disney Springs at Walt Disney World, known for its lively atmosphere and stylish architecture.

Bustling town square lined with palm trees and sparkling fountains, surrounded by vibrant shops and excited guests exploring under a sunny blue sky—the scene captures the energetic vibe of Disney Springs, the lively shopping, dining, and entertainment district at Walt Disney World.

Disney Springs comes alive at dusk with vibrant buildings, sparkling waterways dotted with boats, an iconic glass dome, and a soaring hot air balloon—capturing the energetic, festive spirit that draws guests to Walt Disney World's famous entertainment and shopping district.

Vibrant indoor shopping arcade featuring a high glass ceiling, lush palm trees, inviting storefronts, and crowds of visitors strolling beneath a grand overhead clock—capturing the lively energy and entertainment-focused ambiance of Disney Springs at Walt Disney World.

That video largely focuses on the backstory behind Disney Springs and Imagineering clearly hasn’t veered away from the same story they first revealed in March 2013.

But no new details have been revealed yet as to what new shopping and dining locations will be added during the transition away from Downtown Disney.
