Downtown Disney is a magical place to visit! It’s similar to a downtown in any major city, shops, eateries, musicians, but everything is Disneycentric! It’s family friendly, romantic and perfect for friends too! A favorite visit includes an evening walk, sitting under the lights at Starbucks followed by nightly fireworks! It’s free and parking varies depending on the day and time. It’s a great filler for some extra Disney time without the expense.
Downtown Disney seems to have lost its mojo since our last visit. Rainforest Cafe shutdown, House of Blues gone and out on the street the many homeless and unwell people make the neighbourhood feel much less safe particularly when some one is raving and yelling obscenities and the Police and Security look the other way.
Each store offers great values, expensive imports, great selections, reminders of the past reinvented.
Lots of great shops and eateries also
Entertainment ongoing all the time!
Really enjoyable and fun for families and children of all ages!A great brewpub makes for an adult experience,salt and straw has the best ice cream as well!
Check it out!
Downtown Disney was a fun place to walk around, look at shops (or souvenirs I'm not going to buy), and people watch. There always seemed to be something going on with musical performances at particular times. There were a variety of Disney and non-Disney themed shops selling everything from housewares to artwork to toys to baby clothing. There are quite a few restaurant options but there also places to eat just outside the area as well.
