Downtown Disney has seen many transformations over the years but currently is a mix of shopping, dining and entertainment geared toward the whole family! Downtown Disney is split into three sections; The Marketplace, Pleasure Island and Downtown Disney Westside.
Let's start from Left to Right! First up is Downtown Disney Westside!
Here you'll find:
- Cirque De Soleil-La Nouba

- DisneyQuest
- Splittsville Luxry Lanes *NEW!*
- AMC 24 Theatres
- Characters in Flight
Plus a variety of dining and shops!! Here you'll find Wolfgang Pucks as well as Gloria Estefan's restaurant, Bongos! Even if you don't want to pay to do any of the above attractions, it's fun place to walk around and window shop!
Next up is Pleasure Island (named from Pinnochio!)
Pleasure Island has seen the most changes over the last 10 years or so as Disney tries to change this from an adult playground into something more for the WHOLE family. It's still undergoing changes but you'll find some of my favorite restaurants here including,

You'll find an array of items categorized by department here. Also, World of Disney is home to the 2nd location of Bibbity Bobbity Boutique!
If you can't find what you are looking for here, try one of the MANY shops located here including:
