Downtown Disney is many experiences all brought together which changes as evening falls into a second equally exciting world.  Easy to get to with plenty of parking, you will find here entertainment, shopping, places to eat set around a beautiful lake.

At one end you will find the Cirque du Soleil and Disney Quest.  Check out the pages dedicated to these wonderful places to visit.

Across from Disney Quest are a number of restaurants and bars.  Some open during the day, whilst others only come alive in the evening.  Next door to Disney Quest is a huge Virgin Megastore.  Check out the upstairs cafe where you can sit outside!

Across from Virgin is a multiscreen cinema.  Great for teens who don't fancy the Cirque du Soleil.  More shops and themed restaurants line the boulevard until you reach Planet Hollywood (a spherical restaurant) which signals an entrance to Pleasure Island.

To the other side of Pleasure Island are more shops and Fultons Crab House, seafood restaurant on a paddle steamer on the lake.  There are many shops worth seeing and a stroll around is well worth setting aside some time for.  Notably, check out the huge lego statutes. the Worlds Largest Disney Store, loads of other Disney shops, the worlds largest periscope/kalidoscope and my daughters favourite Ghirardelli
Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop - Sneak in for a free sample - you mouth will love you for the rest of the day!
