One of the big criticisms many had of Disney Springs when it first re-opened was that there wasn't a lot of "Disney" iconography inside this reimagined shopping District. However, it looks like Disney may be listening to this criticism, as they have debuted a new "Instagram" wall on the West Side of Disney Springs (on backside of Raglan Road, across from Terralina Crafted Italian restaurant) featuring none other than the Orange Bird!
