Downtown Disney

Sitting in the middle of the Disneyland Resort, Downtown Disney is a shopping, dining and entertainment complex. With shops, restaurants, street performers, a twelve-screen movie theatre and the House of Blues, it offers plenty to do, and it's a good place to round out your Disneyland vacation with a dash of something different.

When I visit Disneyland, I usually take my lunch break at Downtown Disney instead of inside the park. The atmosphere is more relaxed, and prices more reasonable.
