Downtown Disney

You DO realize we can’t have you spending every waking moment in the theme parks don’t you? And my many activity suggestions are great and all, thank you very much, but almost all of them are for the daytime hours.

I need to give you some more ideas, and, thankfully, Disney makes my job almost too easy! Downtown Disney is an entire district of stores, restaurants, movie theaters, a virtual reality / interactive theme park, and an incredible show that’s famous throughout the entire world!

I have links to all of the available Downtown Disney restaurants in the right column of this page, and hope you’ll explore the information below to find out more about the many fun possibilities that await you at Downtown Disney:

The Marketplace
Downtown Disney's Marketplace provides some of the best shopping opportunities at Walt Disney World, including the largest Disney character store anywhere on the planet! But there's much more! Rent a boat from the marina, dine from several excellent restaurants, and maybe catch some live entertainment at the Dock Stage!

Pleasure Island
Pleasure Island is THE nighttime place to be at Walt Disney World if you're after some club-hopping fun – until 2 a.m. in the morning! There are six nightclubs available for dancing, each featuring a unique genre of music. Oh, and you have to consider a visit to the Comedy Club or Adventurers Club! (Requires park admission and photo I.D.)

West Side
Downtown Disney's West Side provides an eclectic mix of entertainment opportunities! Go to the movies with AMC. Explore the latest in virtual reality at DisneyQuest. Catch an unbelievable performance at the always exciting Cirque du Soleil. And feast from one of the several excellent restaurants.
