Whether you're looking for something to do after a fun-filled day at the Disney theme parks, hankering to spend an entire afternoon shopping, or looking to relax for a few hours and see a movie, Downtown Disney is the place to be. Located between the theme parks and the Disneyland Hotel, this collection of upscale stores, boutiques, and one-of-a-kind shops is also home to several themed restaurants, clubs, bars, and a twelve-screen movie theater.

During the day and evening, Downtown Disney is a great place for the entire family. At night, everyone enjoys the street performers and the energetic buzz, but most of the bars and clubs are open to adults only, allowing the older crowd to experience Disney's nightlife until around 2 A.M. (during peak seasons).

Not only does Downtown Disney boast stunning landscaping and architecture, but it also offers Disney's famous hospitality. You can find out about all its features in Chapter 14.
