So the saying goes, “New Year, New You,” right?
That might mean different things to different people. Maybe it means you’re going to celebrate something big in 2024 at Disney World (even if you’re just celebrating BEING at Disney World). However, did you know a trip to Disney World could also make you healthier? We know a lot of folks make resolutions to be healthier in the New Year, so why not do it at the most Magical Place on Earth?
January 2024 is already bringing some HUGE changes to Disney World. Park pass reservations are going away for most visitors. Park hopping is returning to normal. The Disney Dining Plan is returning. However, did you know that January is also Wellness Month, and you can celebrate your own personal wellness in Disney Springs?
So, what can you do to go on your own wellness journey in Disney Springs? Well, first, you can shop at some of Disney Springs’ unique stores, many of which are offering specials throughout the month of January. Not only can you pick up a relaxing bath bomb at Basin, but you can also do the following:
- Receive free prescription lenses with the purchase of a frame at Edward Beiner Purveyor of Fine Eyewear
- Get a 3-piece set of candles when you purchase $200 or more at Jo Malone London
- Get a facial at L’Occitane en Provence and receive a complimentary Pro Micro Skin Analysis
- Get a surprise gift with any skincare service at Sephora
There’s also a lot of fine dining with healthy food options available in Disney Springs, including:
- City Works Eatery & Pour House — enjoy delicious mocktails, including the Mellow Mule, Peaceful Paloma, Strawberry Soothe, and more
- Homecomin‘ — try the Chargrilled Chicken with sliced avocado, seasonal vegetables, broccoli, bacon, and salad
