We made a quick stop to Downtown Disney on our trip. It was very busy, but lots of fun. We had some food and bought dinner souvenirs. We had fun people watching. A fun environment and high energy. The parking was somewhat difficult to find, but we were overthinking it too much. Just pull in where the Downtown Disney sign is. LOL If you drive here, you will have to pay at least $10 for parking. The restaurants and shops will validate parking though if you make a purchase. We had a nice time.

Downtown Disney is a fun place to explore, get a bite to eat (the pizza at Naples is amazing, there are many great combo platters at Tortilla Joe's, and the Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio has delicious New Orleans and California style food and their famous beignets...), peruse the huge World of Disney store, specialty boutiques, the sweets at Marceline's Confectionary, and the long row of vendor carts featuring all kinds of snacks and souvenirs.

It's especially entertaining go there at night time, when it's bustling with happy crowds of tourists and locals, all here to take in and enjoy the festive and energetic atmosphere, live music playing in the background, and when the stores, restaurants and landscaping are all beautifully illuminated!

i love this space and visited twice in one week. It is a relaxed Disney themed shopping and dinner area where you can feel the magic without paying for a park ticket. In the evening most of the restaurants got queues and the same goes for retail. World of Disney is big!! But not as big as the one in Disney springs. Live Entertainment was a plus and the cherry on top of the cake was the possibility to see the fireworks ( not as good as inside) without entering the park, i found this very beautiful.

There's a lot of restaurants to choose from. It's always clean and decorated nicely. I last went during fall, and they have pumpkins everywhere. However, my new favorite detail are the succulent everywhere, espeically the planters hanging from the lamp posts. They're beautiful and drought resistant. I think if they added some string of rubies or bananas to dangle from them, they would be even more beautiful.

Downtown Disney is kind of it's own experience. They have a variety of shops and restaurants and are a good option if you can't make it into the parks to get last minute souvenirs or visit an eatery. They also do shows on stage near the entrance opposite of the one near the entrance to the parks (more near the Disney hotels). It is definitely more of a money sink than an actual Disney experience and you do have to go through security to get in there. Still a nice visit though

It's been four years since we last visited Downtown Disney. It's a fun area to hang out with the family. We did an 1 hr 15 minutes of bowling at Splitsville Luxury Lanes and we had a lot of fun. They charge $25 dollars a person. Their drinks and food was really good compared to other bowling places. There is a waiting period to get your bowling lanes so we went shopping around to kill time. Grabbed some Starbucks drinks and all was good. The only downside is that there were a lot of people. A bit overcrowded. Oh! Don't forget to validate your parking ticket. If you spend $20 dollars you get 3 free hours of parking or just eat at one of their restaurants validate it and you get 5 hours free parking. Enjoy!
