The first two new stores at Disney Springs opened today at Walt Disney World.

Though technically Downtown Disney has not yet been renamed to Disney Springs, the new Chapel Hats and Apex Sunglasses shops are the first to debut in the newly constructed area featuring the new building decor style of Disney Springs. The two new stores are located in an area formerly home to Pleasure Island.
