Those with a sweet tooth will find paradise at Beignets Expressed, one of the few places on property that offers beignets (the other one is inside Disneyland Park). Craving some churros? Try the unique flavors from California Churro, including apple pie, Oreo cheesecake, cookie butter and strawberry cheesecake! A vast array of colorful macarons is available at Kayla\u2019s Cake. And I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention Marceline\u2019s Confectionery, where you can watch the bakers create spectacular treats right in front of you!<\/p>\n

Entertainment is also a highlight of the district, with live performances often taking place at the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage.\u00a0 There’s always something exciting happening at Downtown Disney. Be sure to follow the music to find local musicians, magicians and other performers. For even more entertainment, you can also try bowling at Splitsville Luxury Lanes.<\/p>\n

How is Downtown Disney Laid Out?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Downtown Disney is starts near Disneyland Hotel, stretches past Disney\u2019s Grand Californian Resort, and ends right at the plaza between the two theme parks: Disneyland and Disney\u2019s California Adventure.\u00a0 The district is pedestrian-friendly, with a central promenade lined with shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Staying On Property<\/h4>\n

For guests staying on property, there are two entrances: one on the western side, near Disneyland Hotel and the monorail stop. There is a security checkpoint here, so be prepared to have your bags inspected on the way in. Guests are also required to walk through a metal detector.\u00a0 More towards the center of Downtown Disney, you will find the entrance that comes directly from the back of Disney\u2019s Grand Californian Hotel. Again there is a security checkpoint with bag inspection and metal detectors.<\/p>\n

At the time of publication, guests who dine at a Downtown Disney table-service restaurant can get up to five hours of free parking; those who make at least a $20 purchase from a Downtown Disney shop can get up to three hours free parking (*subject to change at any time).<\/p>\n

At the west end of Downtown Disney, guests will find the Downtown Disney LIVE Stage and Star Wars Trading Post, along with the LEGO Store and Disney\u2019s Pin Traders. Continuing along the promenade, guests will reach the bustling hub that offers a mix of shops and dining establishments: Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio, Beignets Expressed, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, Naples Ristorante e Bar, and of course Starbucks! \u00a0The eastern end of Downtown Disney features additional shopping and quick-service dining options, such as Wetzel\u2019s Pretzels, Earl of Sandwich Tavern, and California Churro.<\/p>\n

Things Not to Miss at Downtown Disney<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While there is plenty to see and do at Downtown Disney, there are a few highlights you should not miss. Here are some must-see attractions and experiences in the district:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The LEGO Store<\/strong>:\u00a0 This store is a favorite destination for kids and adults alike! In addition to LEGO toys, it features larger-than-life LEGO sculptures, perfect for family photos.<\/li>\n
  2. Splitsville Luxury Lanes<\/strong>: This upscale bowling alley offers a unique dining and entertainment experience! In addition to bowling, you can enjoy a menu that includes gourmet burgers, sushi, and hand-tossed pizzas.<\/li>\n
  3. Jazz Kitchen<\/strong>: Known for its lively atmosphere and New Orleans-inspired cuisine, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen is a popular spot for guests looking to enjoy a delicious meal and live music.<\/li>\n
  4. Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria<\/strong>: Craving authentic Italian cuisine? Look no further than Naples, where guests can indulge in wood-fired pizzas, fresh pasta dishes, and delectable desserts.<\/li>\n
  5. WonderGround Gallery<\/strong>: Appreciate the eclectic collection of Disney-inspired art and collectibles at WonderGround Gallery. This unique store features works by talented artists from around the world.<\/li>\n
  6. Marceline\u2019s Confectionary: <\/strong>Named for Walt\u2019s hometown in Missouri, this shop offers themed candied apples and toffees. Watch as confectioners bring their masterpieces to life!<\/li>\n
  7. World of Disney:<\/strong> This store has it all! From small, last-minute souvenirs like hair clips, snacks, and jewelry, to Disneyland-themed clothing, Mickey ears, toys and artwork. Be on the lookout for special offers, too! We recently found a 2-for-$25 shirt sale and stocked up on Disneyland gear.<\/li>\n
  8. Seasonal Displays and Experiences:<\/strong> On our last visit, the Tardis from Dr. Who was located at the eastern end of Downtown Disney, a Cars & Toy Story Pixar Fest photo op, and a large LEGO wall was situated right in front of the LEGO store! These make for \u201cInstagrammable\u201d backgrounds and memorable photos.\n

    Final Tips and Reminders<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Downtown Disney is an integral part of any visit to Disneyland. Be sure to carve out time to unwind in this district. It is perfectly situated between the parks and the hotels. So,\u00a0 you can do some shopping on the way back<\/u> to your room at the end of a long day or during a midday break! Or you can grab a quick breakfast and coffee on the way into<\/em> the parks!<\/p>\n

    Remember that you will need to pass security checkpoints. Once through, you won\u2019t need to go through security again when entering the parks.<\/p>\n

    Do yourself a favor and walk the entire length of Downtown Disney at least once during your visit. There is so much to see and do, and you may miss some amazing photo ops if you walk only along one side of the promenade. Downtown Disney is not huge, so it won\u2019t take too long to walk the entire length each way.\u00a0 What better way to get your daily steps?!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been traveling since I was a toddler, visiting family in Europe and South America (Brazil). Since then, I\u2019ve visited many countries, taken dozens of cruises, and visited all the major Disney Destinations. I\u2019m a Disney Cruise Line Platinum Castaway Club member, have visited Disneyland and Disneyland Paris, and have experienced the magic of Adventures by Disney. Growing up in New York, I didn\u2019t have much of a chance to visit Walt Disney World, but once I made my first trip, I knew I\u2019d eventually move down to Orlando to be closer to the magic. I\u2019m happy to say I now live just a short ride from the \u201cWorld,\u201d and have lost count of my visits! When looking for a travel consultant, experience is very important. I\u2019ve been in the travel business for over 10 years, am a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge, and have attended seven EarMarked Conferences (designed for the very best Authorized Disney Vacation Planners). My passion is helping my clients plan their vacations to all parts of the world. Each and every client receives my excellent service and attention to detail, and no request is too small or extravagant. I\u2019ve helped clients with everything from short cruises to a stay in a 500-year-old European castle, and everything in between!

I\u2019ve been traveling since I was a toddler, visiting family in Europe and South America (Brazil). Since then, I\u2019ve visited many countries, taken dozens of cruises, and visited all the major Disney Destinations. I\u2019m a Disney Cruise Line Platinum Castaway Club member, have visited Disneyland and Disneyland Paris, and have experienced the magic of Adventures by Disney. Growing up in New York, I didn\u2019t have much of a chance to visit Walt Disney World, but once I made my first trip, I knew I\u2019d eventually move down to Orlando to be closer to the magic. I\u2019m happy to say I now live just a short ride from the \u201cWorld,\u201d and have lost count of my visits! When looking for a travel consultant, experience is very important. I\u2019ve been in the travel business for over 10 years, am a graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge, and have attended seven EarMarked Conferences (designed for the very best Authorized Disney Vacation Planners). My passion is helping my clients plan their vacations to all parts of the world. Each and every client receives my excellent service and attention to detail, and no request is too small or extravagant. I\u2019ve helped clients with everything from short cruises to a stay in a 500-year-old European castle, and everything in between! So, if you have a travel goal, I\u2019ll find a way for you to get there!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/about-us\/meet-our-agents\/jo-vagos\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/author\/jovagos\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28166"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28186,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28166\/revisions\/28186"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/tmflblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
