Wolfgang Puck Express is a great place to eat at Downtown Disney. It's overshadowed by some of the bigger, noisier and more crowded places like T-Rex. The location isn't prominent, but it's in plain view if you know to look for it. The food is very, very good and the service is fast and friendly. I've only deducted one mark... More

We first visited Downtown Disney in 2009 during our honeymoon, and went on a wednesday afternoon, and found it quiet and enjoyable. This time, we ended up going on a Saturday evening.. wow! what a difference! we drove around for 30 minutes trying to find a parking spot, we ended up losing spots to rude people! we finally found one,...

A perfect break from the theme parks - if you need something Disney you can't find in the parks you are sure to find it here! We love the miss matched store and Basin!

While there we had a great time. I wished we had more time to enjoy it. We only spent about 4 hours there, but could have spent the whole day. Loved it. I got to do some Christmas ornament shopping there too. Loved the experience. Although the boat rides back to the resort were down and also the buses were... More

Very good..... for families with kids. Not for me! I'm a person who doesn's like big crowds in a very toeristic environment. I won't spend my money there. It cost you big dollars and the value is not everywhere that good. However there are some bars/restaurants which are good and more "high end". For kids and their parents it's awesome... More

Free activities included a splash fountain area for kids to get wet, amazing Lego sculptures, free boat rides to the different sections and side... More

I go here to walk around and eat. It's typically crowded, but the impression is that it is the place to walk around just for fun. The place to buy Disney stuff.
