We strolled through Old Town Disney the day after scrambling all over the Magic Kingdom with our 4 yr old and 3 month old girls and found the place relaxing and a little less chaotic. There are many shops and places to eat (Planet Hollywood is our favorite) and we saw a 3-D movie at the theatre. Its nice that... more

We like to go to Downtown just before heading home. We shop, eat and play in the Lego store. The kids love it and it lets us all walk a bit before the car ride! more

Yesturday was my first time dining out at Rainforest Cafe in the Marketplace section of Downtown Disney in Orlando, Florida and all I have to say is what a rip off. Anything associated with Disney is always outrageously pricy. Anyways, I looked at the menu on their website to see really what all was being served and guess what -... more

I was surprised to see how highly a lot of people rate this area. We went one evening and found it very crowded, with long queues even for an ice cream. There were some fun bits to watch for the kids but the place seemed mainly designed to get you to buy stuff. Even when we did shop, there were... more

We visit Orlando every year over Christmas and then again for the waterparks in July. DOWNTOWN DISNEY MARKETPLACE is always a stop on the tour. It's a shopping/eatery extravaganza along a marina. So pretty. It hosts the self-proclaimed largest WDW store in the world, along with other many non-Disney specialty shops. My son's fav is The Lego Store. Don't miss... more

I loved Downtown Disney, everything is perfect too get away from the thrills of the parks at Orlando. The Family and I went too the Gospel Choir Brunch, and where quite surprised by the modern Choir, and the Food is great! But I would reccomend reservations as it can get pretty busy there apesially at Christmas. Disney Quest is Superb,... more

It may not be for everyone, but it suited us just fine. We spent every morning there before heading off to the parks, and our best dinner was at House of Blues. Their barbeque chicken pizza was awesome, and under $12.00 for a full size place. My husband ate a seafood/veggie jambalya, which he enjoyed. Worked for us! Tip: If... more
