Downtown Disney is a great strip of fun shops and restaurants. It is a good place to have a meal after a day at Disneyland. There are some great shops, the kids loved Build a Bear and the World of Disney, I enjoyed Quicksilver and Something Silver. Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen was a great restaurant. There is music playing most... more

Disney magic is felt even throughout downtown disney. We ate at ESPN Zone and played at the arcade there. We got all of our presents to take back home at the World of Disney. That is my familys favorite store in this area. Breakfast at La Brea Bakery was wonderful. We also ate at Rainforest Cafe, which was wonderful for... more

The only restaurant we liked was Brennan's, which was pretty authentic for New Orleans cuisine. Service was also good despite having to wait 15 minutes after our reservation. They seemed a bit disorganized at the front desk. Naples and Catal are owned by the same management group and the experience and price truly sucks. Bathrooms were dirty, wait was long,... more

We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel June 13th through the 17th and we walked through/ate at Downtown Disney basically everyday. We loved how there was always something going on, and there was an abundance of restaurants to eat at. We only tried Tortilla Joes, La Brea Bread Factory and EspnZone but both were better than eating at the theme parks.... more

The four of us, two adults and two children under 10, enjoyed our Thursday afternoon strolling through the shops on a sunny California day. Our lunch experience at the Jazz Kitchen was not so enjoyable. Although our waiter was friendly, the staff seemed unorganized and the long wait for our food was not worth the wait. The food was luke... more

Although I didn't go to a lot of the shops at Downtown Disney, I enjoyed the atmoshpere of the area during my evening visits. I liked that most of shops remained open after the parks closed and it was a great place to just relax, soak up the Disney atmosphere, and people watch. Downtown Disney is a must go place. more

Overall we found the Downtown Disney Experience a good one. We loved the atmosphere and the fact that we had so many good dining options close by to where we were staying. We really enjoyed the Rainforest Cafe, the food was quite good and the service was excellent in spite of it being a very busy place. We thought the... more
