Having been to Downtown Disney in Orlando, we decided to visit the Anaheim, California version. First, you have to pay for parking where in Orlando its free. However, parking is free if you spend over $20.00 in the Anaheim version and get your parking ticket validated. We did spend over $20.00 as you will easily do that in this over-priced spot.
Be prepared for a 10-20 minute wait going thru security which is a good thing with all the craziness going on. Finally, they did have a nice cover pop band singing music, but overall this place was so-so for us. We won’t be back anytime soon!
We loved walking around Downtown Disney and ate at Naples restaurant and were pleased that we could see the fireworks from our table. That added to the evening fun. We have been to Downtown Disney in Florida and found this one to be charming and well done.
We visited August 22, 2019 before the Disney D23 expo. It was a clean and inviting atmosphere. I do wish it was as extravagant as Disney Springs was in Florida but it’s still nice to explore.
Lots of stores and restaurants. Big parking lot.can see the fireworks from there. Great place to walk around
the lady that was checking us was mad disrespectful! NO MANNERS! And was not letting us in because we had a speaker (we left the speaker in the car and she did not believe us) she ruined my afternoon
