The Market Place provides some of the best window shopping opportunities in Central
Florida. You can have a great day in the Market Place and not buy a thing. (in theory)
You'll probably want to start your shopping day in the World of Disney, a disney
merchandise super-store. Inside, there are twelve themed sections spread out over 50,000
square feet of pure Disney shopping heaven. If you can't find it here, it probably doesn't
exist. Besides World of Disney,
you'll find a number of other specialized Disney stores. Art of Disney features cell
animation and collectables; Disney at Home features interior design Disney-style and you
can find Disney activewear at Team Mickey's Athletic Club.
Other retail shops include Eurospain
crystals, Summer Sands swimwear and the Pooh Corner, a Winnie the Pooh themed retail
store.
The other major shopping attraction in
the Market Place is the LEGO Imagination Center, where you can buy all sorts of Lego
pieces and toys. There are incredible Lego models on display and kids can romp around in
an interactive outdoor playground.
Food at the Market Place tends to be of
the Lunch/ afternoon snack variety with the exception of the Rainforest Cafe. Other
eateries include a great McDonald’s, Wolfgang Puck Express and Cap'n Jack's Oyster
Bar. Save room for desert at the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop.
After 6 PM you can go to the Rainforest
cafe to take a ferry to the House of Blues in the West Side. |
