We’ve seen a LOT of changes happening in Disney Springs over the past few years.
Disney Springs
First, we got a brand new restaurant, Summer House on the Lake, and we’re still revisiting the Cookie Bar there. We also feel like the new eet by Maneet Chauhan restaurant is COMPLETELY UNDERRATED (seriously, go there). We’ve also seen several shops close, while new shops have opened. Well, we recently did a quick walkthrough through Disney Springs and noticed another shop seems to have closed its doors.
Okay, so this could be bad news for you Star Wars fans. We walked by the Star Wars Trading Post in Disney Springs and we noticed it was closed.
It’s closed
In fact, it’s so closed that even its main sign is gone.

This was a shop where you could get Star Wars merchandise like clothing, accessories, toys, home decor, and more. This location also was one of the few that carried the Legacy Lightsabers outside of the parks. There’s a sign on the shop’s main door that suggests visiting Once Upon A Toy instead for Star Wars merchandise.

We checked Disney World’s website for Star Wars Trading post hours, and it’s listed as closed through January 1st, 2025 (as far out as the calendar goes). So it looks like this could be a permanent closure. Perhaps Disney has plans for something else in its space?

Anyway, we walked over to Once Upon A Toy as the sign suggested, and let’s just say the Star Wars merchandise there was pretty limited. There were some lightsabers…

…as well as a few merchandise items that we’d previously seen at Star Wars Trading Post.

The Build-Your-Own Lightsaber experience is here, too.

However, there IS another Star Wars store in Disney Springs, Star Wars Galactic Outpost. You’ll find it on the West side of Disney Springs. There, you’ll find clothes, accessories, home decor, drinkware, lightsabers, pins, wall art, and more.

It’s kind of interesting that the sign on the old Star Wars Trading Post refers folks to a toy store, rather than the OTHER Star Wars store in Disney Springs, though.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for more information about the store’s closure and what may end up in its space, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
