We took our 2yo twins in Mar. They loved the Lego store and I found some sweet ornaments at the Christmas store. We ate at the Dino restaurant. We didnt make it on the tethered hot air balloon ride as I had hoped,but a very fun time overall! Hoping to go back in Dec.

You can go to downtown Disney for free. No parking charges, plenty of parking spaces available, and you can shop and eat until your heart is content. It is very over crowded though, so it is best to book a restaurant if you want to eat there. The first time I went I was a little upset as I thought... More

We came to Downtown Disney just to go to the lego store which my daughter always loves to go to and pick out her own lego pieces. While down there we decided to eat dinner at the Rainforest Café until we went to put our name in for a reservation and was told it was going to be a 3... More

You can go to downtown Disney for free. No parking charges here and you can shop to your hearts content. With a number of eating places and different Disney stores there is something for everyone, An onsite cinema, bowling alley and disneyquest means there is something for everyone,

We went here on a Friday night but didn't realize this place was so popular at that time until it was too late. We went to the big Disney store and then got out of there as it was jam packed with people - never seen anything like it. IF we had time I would try going in the daytime... More

We arrived at our resort (French Quarter) in the morning, so we had some time to kill in the afternoon. Our first venture out was a quick boat ride to Downtown Disney. We wanted to check it out, since several of the dinner reservations we made were here. Be prepared to do a lot of walking. Downtown Disney is broken... More

I liked that the selection was interesting and varied. The employees didn't seem to know where anything was, nor did they really seem to care. Example: where is the nearest ice cream place? "I don't know". In one store I was going to buy something but the two available employees were having a heart to heart about something and I... More

All the Disney Shopping you can handle in one place and with the just announced expansion it will be even better when completed

There are a lot of places to eat and shop, but our faves were the LEGO store and the Disney store. We didn't spend much time in the other places because it wasn't a meal time or they didn't offer things we enjoy. Live entertainment was interesting!
