Disney Springs is getting a brand new tenant — and it’s one that skate culture fans and sneaker enthusiasts will be very excited about. Vans is coming to Disney Springs Town Center, and it’s taking over one of the most prime retail spots in the entire shopping district.
Here’s what we know so far about the Vans Disney Springs opening, where it’s landing, and what to expect when it finally opens its doors.
Quick Summary
- Vans is officially coming to Disney Springs Town Center at Walt Disney World
- The store will take over the former Volcom space in the Town Center area

Vans Is Coming to Disney Springs Town Center
Where Exactly Is It Going?
The Vans store will be moving into the space that Volcom vacated back in April 2025, when the surf and skate brand shut down every one of its US retail locations. If you’ve visited Disney Springs recently, you may have noticed that space doing double duty as a limited-time pop-up art gallery during the holiday season. That chapter is closing, and Vans is moving in.
The Town Center area of Disney Springs is prime real estate. It’s the outdoor shopping zone that features a mix of high-end boutiques and well-known brands, all set along waterside walkways and open-air plazas. It’s one of the best places to shop at Walt Disney World — and Vans fits right in with the energy of the area.
Why Vans Makes a Lot of Sense at Disney Springs
Vans isn’t just a shoe brand — it’s a lifestyle brand with serious cultural weight. As one of the most recognized names in casual and skate-influenced fashion in the US, Vans sells apparel, footwear, and accessories that appeal to a wide range of shoppers. Families visiting Disney World, teens, and adults who grew up skating or listening to punk music all have a reason to walk through that door.
That cross-generational appeal is exactly what Disney Springs looks for in tenants. Vans isn’t niche — it’s mainstream enough to pull in casual shoppers but specific enough to have a genuine following. This is a smart addition to the lineup.
What We Don’t Know Yet
No Opening Date Announced
As of right now, Disney has not announced an official opening date for the Vans store at Disney Springs. That means if you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World and hoping to shop at Vans, you’ll want to check for updates closer to your visit. Keep an eye on the Disney Springs website and Disney’s social channels — they typically post grand opening announcements a few weeks in advance.
What the Store Will Look Like
No details have been shared yet about the store’s size, layout, or what products it will carry beyond the standard Vans lineup of shoes, clothing, and accessories. Vans stores can vary significantly in what they stock, from limited-edition collaborations to basic wardrobe staples. Given the Disney Springs location, there’s always a possibility of Disney-themed Vans merchandise — though nothing has been confirmed.
Disney Springs Shopping Just Got Better
The addition of Vans continues Disney Springs’ momentum as a legitimate shopping destination that doesn’t require a park ticket to visit. Free parking, waterfront views, and an increasingly strong retail mix make it worth the trip even on a non-park day.
Losing Volcom was unfortunate, but Vans is a stronger brand with broader appeal. This is an upgrade for the Town Center area, and it gives the space a clear identity that the pop-up gallery format couldn’t quite provide.
Conclusion
Vans coming to Disney Springs Town Center is one of the more exciting retail announcements to come out of Walt Disney World in recent months. It’s the right brand for the space, the right space for the brand, and a sign that Disney Springs continues to evolve its tenant mix in smart ways.
No opening date yet — but this one is worth watching. Add Disney Springs to your next Walt Disney World visit, and check in for updates on when Vans officially opens its doors.
