There are many fabulous eating establishments at Disney Downtown including Wolf Gang Pucks, Rainforest Café, and Planet Hollywood to name a few.

Disney Downtown comes alive during the night with numerous nightclubs on Pleasure Island which requires separate admission. If you like to party, this is the place. Whether you like the blues, hip hop, music from the 70’s and 80’s, R&B, or contemporary, there’s a place for you.

The Comedy Warehouse provides hilarious improv for those who like to laugh themselves silly.
Catch a movie at the AMC theater or sit by the lake and people watch. Just walking around, looking at the storefronts, garden areas, watching dancing fountains, seeing children play and listening to the happy music is enjoyable.

Of course, a marketplace wouldn’t be a marketplace without great shopping opportunities. Just about anything Disney can be found here. In addition, enjoy shopping at Virgin Records, Harley Davidson, specialty stores for collector items, magic tricks, toys, Lego Imagination Center where everything Lego can be found.

Disney Downtown and Marketplace is a day trip for sure. Wear comfortable shoes and anticipate a fun and exciting day. Florida weather can be hot and humid so cool clothes in the summer, a hat or visor, sunscreen and a bottle of water to carry is a good idea. There are several shady spots and all stores are air conditioned for your enjoyment as well as water fountains. Also recommended is a small umbrella or raincoat that can easily be tucked in a backpack or purse as its not unusual for afternoon showers.

The Ultimate Disney Worlds Savings Guide is an e-Book that is updated regularly. All customers receive lifetime access to e-Book updates, even if it’s months or years after your initial purchase. You will always have the very latest Disney savings strategies at your fingertips. 
  
Beth watched hundreds of families needlessly throwing their money away because they didn’t know any better way.  If only they had known what Beth’s knows.  The book is everything she’s learned and discovered in making a Disney Vacation an affordable and magical experience.

You can have a Disney World vacation every bit as enjoyable and rewarding as the family who spends 2, 3, or even 4 times as much money!
