Come here at night after everything closes and head to a bar for a drink or two. It was my first time here and having it be completely empty had me awestruck. So beautiful! Fun little date night walk.

You can never go wrong with Downtown Disney! With access to Disneyland as well as California Adventure, this place offers shopping, dining, and nighttime entertainment for all family members!

Rachel Mercer

Definitely stop by the World of Disney store, Wunderland Gallery , and the LEGO store. If you don't get the Vinyl figurine you want on Saturday nights traders usually hang out in the main courtyard

Majed Alashari

Must visit place if you are in Disney or Anaheim. Lots of shops & restaurants . Free parking for the First 2 hours.

Once a month on Saturday nights they have a live band and a swing night! Great energy; fun for dates or a good time with friends.

Rob Kearse

Have fun. Seriously. What do you want me to tell you? You're at Disney. You know what you're getting in to; lines , laughter and food. Enjoy it!!

About a fifteen minute walk from the Convention Center , Downtown Disney offers tons of shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Don't forget to grab some Disney souvenirs to take home to your kids!

Laur Lo Ski

Similar to WDW's Downtown Disney. Not too many shops that aren't specifically themed apart from the bigger store towards the parks . Lots of cool restaurants and an AMC movie theater too.

Lego Store is awesome, also World of Disney ! Many restaurants and most of all, you can feel Disneyland weather... Happiness!!

Holly

The chillest place to watch the fireworks is between the Disneyland resort and California gates. No music accompaniment, but take a seat on the floor and add your own whoops, hollers and gasps of awe

Brian Ruelas

It's cool, they have bars , stores and restaurants . It's cool to have dinner over-there in order to see the fireworks .

Sean Miller

So much to do here and lots of good places to eat at too! Parking can get tough during the holidays sobs prepared.

Chris Cegielski

Good place to stop in before or after the parks . If you don’t want park food, pop in here midday for lunch too.

Jessica #LYK

Wonderful spot that stays open pretty late! They have something for everyone! HOB, Rainforest Cafe , ESPN Zone , Sephora, Jamba Juice , AMC Theater , Lego, Build A Bear & More! Anything Disney is Happy!

Jose Velazquez

If you don't have enough money to visit a Disney theme park this is a great alternative. There are many performers , shops, and restaurants including an ESPN Zone and a house of Blues .

Kay Kelison

nice to visit, BUT more restaurants ? Really? What would be the point of “downtown Disney” if it’s food, kiosks and timeshare pushes?The attraction to visit will loose its charm!@downtowndisneydistrict

EJ

Great place to pick up last minute souvenirs so you don't need to worry about getting things while in the park and then having to carry them around with you all day

Eric Schrader

Starbucks, House of Blues , Tortilla Jo's, Quicksilver, many Disney Stores, Lego Store, movie theater , and live street performers

A monument to capitalism with a Disney twist. Food at The Jazz kitchen was quite good and my kids love the Lego store.

My kids enjoyed building their own cars @ridemakers . Lego store was lovely. I absolutely recommend it.

Cat LoSchiavo

The beignets at that Jazz New Orleans Cafe are worth trying (And the calories)! Don't forget to also make a wish under the Sorcerer Hat!

JB Utheim

Craving a Red Bull before a trek into the park ? Since you can't get them while you're inside, cruise through Häagen-Dazs, it's the closest to the park to pay and go!

Diandra Pre

Don't skip Starbucks. Make sure u check out the "live chalkboard !"

MundoFox

It is a very lively place . Try attending the House of Blues for great concerts and an amazing venue experience.

Easy to get in/out for parking 3 hours free and 5 if you dine at a restaurant or watch movie at the AMC.

The hot moms are everywhere of course and that can drive a guy crazy for sure. The place is loaded with great places to eat and has some pretty cool shops of course.
