Just returned for a hot fudge sundae and the prices have gone up to $7.95 for 2 small scoops of ice cream, anything extra on it is 50 cents each item. They are good but not for that price. more

We had a great time in Downtown Disney, especially in the Marketplace. If you collect elongated pennies, there are tons of machines there, and guest services can give you a map of them. The only down side was that we made a special trip out to the magnet shop on the other side of DTD, and it didn't sell Disney... more

Downtown Disney is spilt into 3 area's. Market Place This is where you will find all Disney shops, that sell just about everything. If you don't want to shop whilst in the parks or you just fancy some Disney shopping this is definately the place to go. Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop is well worth a visit for an... more

Went down here during a rain storm to pass some time. The shops were rather lack luster and something to only be visited once. You could find better and less expensive souvenirs elsewhere. The Marketplace features most of the shopping and eateries. Pleasure Island is mainly just dance night clubs. It finishes with more ods and ends shopping completing with... more

You can find better restaurants at International Drive, with better value for money. Worth a visit: Legoland and Virgin store. more

Excellent place for shopping, food, and fun. If you are staying at a Disney property you will want to be sure of bus schedules. From All-Star Resorts the ride is over 20 minutes there and longer on return with stops at Typhoon Lagoon. more

My boyfriend and I only went to Downtown Disney once during our trip. We had dinner at Bongo's which was lovely, and then saw the Cirque du Soleil show which was fantastic! (as a tip, we paid for the $88 tickets, but you really don't need to as the stage comes out far enough that you would get a good... more

DTD itself is a bit on the sleezy side. In August it is packed, very hot and everywhere is a bit grubby - everywhere we went was sticky, all the tables in every restaurant were sticky - which too me is saying the managers are scrimping and not spending the money they should be spending on proper cleaning stuff. That... more

I went to Downtown Disney when I was in Orlando last week. It was fun time. Visited the various disney stores, took pics with some disney characters and others too. It really brought out the kid in me. The Rain-Forest Cafe was cool. They have this huge alligator plus other animals. Enjoy the water taxi that will take you to... more
