Downtown Disney, Anaheim

Great place to bring the family. Safe and secure and Disney clean. Lots of outdoor dining options. Beautiful landscaping. Disney pin trading at all Disney stores and kiosks. My kids had a great time at Downtown Disney. It's a fun Disney feel without the price of admission or the lines waiting for rides. Fun for the whole family. Street music and entertainment (we saw a magic show for kids) throughout the area. We'll be back anytime we're in the area. Also we went to dinner early (around 5) and didn't have any problem getting a table.

It is a very cool outdoor, upscale, shopping mall. You can find anything Disney here. I only wish there were more dining options and variety of places and prices to choose from. Consider making reservations to eat at least three days before, maybe a week in advance of your planning to be there in a weekend. Most restaurants will validate parking too, so make sure you ask if they don't ask you.

True Disney Experience outside amusement park. The streets are super clean and lushly landscaped. All the buildings are architecturally interesting. The area is well secured. The atmosphere is fun, yet tranquil. Also, great place to sit and people watch. Humans are interesting to observe. Great choices of eateries.

Very cool place, really great to take a walk, grab something to eat, it's always fun and exciting here! Fun restaurants, live entertainment, great food options, movie theater ~ definitely one of my go-to places for a Sunday afternoon! I definitely recommend checking it out!!! Parking is great too ... free two hours which is usually plenty if you don't plan on staying for movie and dinner.

Bathrooms are "usually" clean. Downtown Disney is great to spend some down time but can be dizzying at times and parking becomes more challenging -- especially during the busiest times of the season. With a little patience, you'll find a little bit of everything whether it's shopping, movies, bars, restaurants, or a park-like promenade. It's definitely a teaser to Disneyland.
