Disney Springs Performance Pavilions

The transformation of Lake Buena Vista’s premier shopping an entertainment district from the aging and limp Downtown Disney to the vibrant and exciting Disney Springs has been a jolt of electricity through every Disney vacation. What felt like a failing suburban shopping mall previously has been transformed into an energetic hub of frivolity and amusement.
One of the major reasons for this is Disney’s newfound commitment to bringing musical acts to Disney Springs’ walkways and concert pavilions.
As you walk through the whole of the property, you’ll pass by a guitarist performing outside Splitsville Luxury Lanes, or a small band playing in Exposition Park among the food trucks, or a classically-trained guitarist just outside World of Disney. These outdoor performances last long enough for you to stop and enjoy them, but not so long that you feel obligated to scope out a seat.
The performers rotate in and out, so you can always count on something new to see when you visit Disney Springs. Walk through the whole area, find the act you most enjoy, grab a drink, and listen.
Jellyrolls

A favorite among cast members, Jellyrolls is about as raucous a good time as you can have on Disney property.
Located on the Boardwalk, right by the walkway to the Swan and Dolphin resorts, Jellyrolls hosts a dueling pianos show wherein the two performers take requests and play incredible piano duets. The sets can vary wildly, and the ability to offer up your own favorite song for the pianists to play adds enough variety to keep guests and locals coming back time and again.
Yes, there is a cover charge, but the show is so entertaining that it’s absolutely worth it. It’s not quite as family-friendly as Yehaa Bob’s show, which makes it perfect for guests traveling without kids to enjoy a bit of a break from the Disney aesthetics.
