Planning a Disney World vacation can be a lot.
From getting all of your dining reservations booked to figuring out how to use Genie+, there are tons of steps involved in preparing for your trip. One thing that can be a tad overwhelming, especially if you’re not used to Florida weather, is making sure you have packed everything you need. While it’s normal to plan on buying certain things when you get there, like groceries for instance, occasionally we forget something crucial in a pinch. Don’t worry, there’s one place we can always rely on for last-minute essentials.
Have you left for the parks but completely forgotten to pack sunscreen in your park bag? Trust us, it’s important, and if you’re like us, you’re not going to want to buy it in the park with a significant markup. Fortunately, the Target in Flamingo Crossings is so conveniently located.
Flamingo Crossings Town Center is a growing shopping area located within walking distance of Disney World’s housing for Cast Members in the Disney College Program. It’s just outside the west gate to Walt Disney World! Only minutes from the parks, it’s a simple stop for any last-minute needs. While it’s not huge (in fact, it may be the smallest Target we’ve ever seen), it does have the essentials. Don’t forget, you can also pick up Disney gift cards here, at a discount if you have a Target Red Card to use at the parks!
There’s also a Starbucks that shares a parking lot, so you can mobile order your morning breakfast while you’re there and avoid those long lines at Main Street Bakery. We’ll keep bringing you all the latest Disney news, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
