Downtown Disney is a fabulous shopping and entertainment complex
that has everything you could desire from your evenings in Orlando. There are bars, dance
clubs, movie theaters, themed restaurants, attractions and the circus is even in town at
the Cirque du Soliel Theater. Of course the wholesome Disney atmosphere is prevalent
throughout Downtown Disney and Pleasure Island, but you can still find plenty of
opportunities to let loose and have a good time being bad. Downtown Disney is comprised of three sections,
Pleasure Island, The Market Place and the West Side.
Pleasure
Island is where most of the odious activities would take place. Every night is
celebrated like New Year’s Eve, complete with countdown and toast. After 7 PM, the
park closes it’s gates and charges admission (around $20, but is included in the
all-in-one hopper), a guardian must accompany children under 18. You can find clubs, bars
and live stage shows in Pleasure Island.
The Market Place
is the place to go for great food and shopping. You can find restaurants like the
Rainforest Caf�, McDonald’s and the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop.
The main draw for children is the interactive LEGO Imagination Center and The World of
Disney, a Disney merchandise super-store that has 12 themed rooms.
West Side
provides lots of great dining and entertainment options. You can have dinner at
restaurants like the Wolfgang Puck Caf�, Bongos Cuban Caf� or theme restaurants like the
House of Blues and the biggest Planet Hollywood you’ve ever seen. The most intriguing
entertainment options are the Cirque du Soliel presentation, the Virgin Megastore and
DisneyQuest, an incredible high-tech attraction. |
