The first time I visited Downtown Disney in Anaheim, it dissapointed me since I was thinking in its eastern counterpart. But now I enjoyed it more.

Just having a place with a lot of nice restaurant and stores was good. Mostly Disney propaganda, but it was a nice spot just to hang around and people watch. Once all the construction is done I am sure it will be much nicer. More

Good for shopping and eating. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back into downtown Disney. We ate at the Rain forest Cafe and shopped at the World of Disney store. There is much better shopping and eating inside Disney. More

Loved the variety of stores. If you want a smoothie, vinlymation, pins, toys for all ages, glass of wine, downtown disney has it. Great selection and always friendly cast members walking around looking to help/answer any question. Great for all ages and plenty of restaurant choices instead of settling on a fried something-something in the park(s). More

Great Mexican food at Tortilla Joes! Rainforest is fun but little kids may be frightened by the "animals" and thunderstorm. Ralph Brennans is great Cajun food but a little pricey for dinner. Lunch is much cheaper. More

We loved the Lego store and spent about an hour in there. The beignets were delicious and I would have easily eaten a dozen if I was allowed to! More
