 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
Café, 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 Café, Bongos Cuban Café 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.
