It cost nothing to stroll downtown and visit so many worlds. Something sweet or new to eat is at your fingertips down there. The Disney Toy store is four times bigger than I have ever seen anywhere else. There are many other shops that you can buy from and even window shopping is fun! There is a Build a Bear... More

The best resturant we found was the Rainforest cafe they have great breakfast and they are next to the monorail for an easy enterance into Disneyland. Looks at joining their club. The cost of joining is deducted from your first meal so that it is free to join. They have a number of resturants and one is close to where... More

Downtown Disney is a great place to people-watch, to shop, eat at restaurants, or just to browse around and spend some time. A great reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the Disneyland Park or California Adventure. The shops and restaurants aren't cheap. The Grand Californian at one end and the refurbished Disneyland Hotel on the other end. There is... More

The options for food and retail and entertainment outside the Park are very well done. It provide very well priced eating options prior to or after your visit to the park and all keeping the Disney way respected

Downtown Disney is a great place to just walk around, hang out and of course to shop. Although a bit pricey, it is still a fun place to spend some time while in Anaheim or at Disneyland. There is no charge for entrance into Downtown Disney.

Whatever you do, stop and grab a bag of warm Carmel Popcorn on your way into Disneyland/CA Adventure. It will last you (and a couple of kids) all day. It is so much fresher than the stuff in the parks and so much less expensive. You'll find it at the Disneyland Hotel end of Downtown Disney. Important note, the other... More

Lots of nice stores, but crazy busy at night. We liked the Disney store here the best for souvenirs, and if you spend a certain amount, you get deals on towels, and watches.

If you stayed in the Disney Inns this would have been extremely handy. We had a hike to get to it and it was very congested, understandably so. Although if Disney souveniers are what you are looking for they are easier to get to in these larger stores than in the little shops in the parks.

It's expensive but it's still fun and you don't HAVE to buy anything. There's nice alternatives to Disney dining. We enjoy the LaBrea Bakery for breakfast and coffee and the kids love the Lego Store. The atmosphere is amazing and there's great live music. It's also open later than the parks which allows for more fun before calling it a... More
