“Excellent area to visit while at the Disney Resort”

When Disney imagineers came up with a Downtown walking area between 2 theme parks it was probably the best thing they did in a long time.

Plenty of nice shops to browse with things you won't find in the parks, and a lot of good restaurants, like Rainforest Cafe, ESPN Zone, House of Blues, and more...

I always visit the downtown area when coming to the parks, and recommend you do too, you'll love it!

They give you 2 hours free right off the bat for parking, and then you get 3 more if you get it validated at either a restaurant or the movie theater. So if you eat, make sure you get your ticket validated, and so you get 5hours free!

Great place to just hang out and have a good time

Best place to shop and dine!!!. I can honestly say that both parks and the downtown Disney shopping area is a funfest all in it self! With 14 dining options and 26 places to shop till you drop—Downtown Disney is the place to go! With 3 FREE hours to park plus you can get your ticket validated anytime at any store in the down town Disney district it make shopping and dining even more enjoyable!

California adventure is themed to a timeless “California” setting. With well over 25 electrifying attractions and shows, this parks aims to please. And the puck does not stop there!! This April 16th-california adventure will be showcasing the 5th annul Food and Wine Festival! So if you are near the area, this is a festival you don’t want to miss!

Romantic. I like coming to Downtown Disney for a nice walk and to enjoy some snacks or food...although it is quite a drive, I like going to the candy store, can't remember its name, but I load up on chocolate covered strawberries....walk into Sephora to check out the latest additions to the beauty scene and walk to Wetzel's Pretzels and buy me a slushie..they have many flavors to choose from...and buy the pizza pretzel...sooo good...its a great place to get away for awhile...the best thing is that parking is free! and its never so packed when i go...

CityWalk, eat your heart out--Disney's mock neighborhood rents to some high-profile tenants.. The Scene
There's nothing Mickey Mouse about this half-mile entertainment district loaded with major players. Anchored by an AMC 12-screen megaplex and the Orange County outpost of the House of Blues, the squeaky-clean pedestrian walkway sits just outside Disneyland and California Adventure. During busy summers, everyone from international tourists to local punks checking out a concert can be found roaming the grounds.

The Goods
The Patina group expands its holdings with Catal, an upscale Mediterranean that might lure curious Angelenos behind the Orange Curtain. ESPN Zone, a behemoth three-in-one restaurant/sports bar/game center, holds court at one end of the street. Other dining options include an Indiana Jones-styled Rainforest Cafe and the New Orleans-inspired Jazz Kitchen. Shops like Sephora, Petals and Illuminations will appeal to locals, though most are aimed at out-of-towners (including the planet's second largest World of Disney store).

downtown disney. a place to browse with an espn zone location. the only espn zone location in southern california. espn zone is the right place to visit for a sports fan. prices to buy things are expensive. within walking distance to disney's california adventure. it is quite a distance from los angeles and ventura county to orange county. it is a lot closer if coming from downtown la, cerritos, orange county. downtown disney has selected stores. you should check the shopping directory for stores you are interested in. amc theatres has a location here.
