Editorial Review for Downtown Disney – by Ginny Chien
The Scene
There's nothing Mickey Mouse about this half-mile entertainment district loaded with major players. Anchored by an AMC 12-screen megaplex and the Orange County outpost of the House of Blues, the squeaky-clean pedestrian walkway sits just outside Disneyland and California Adventure. During busy summers, everyone from international tourists to local punks checking out a concert can be found roaming the grounds.
The Goods
The Patina group expands its holdings with Catal, an upscale Mediterranean that might lure curious Angelenos behind the Orange Curtain. ESPN Zone, a behemoth three-in-one restaurant/sports bar/game center, holds court at one end of the street. Other dining options include an Indiana Jones-styled Rainforest Cafe and the New Orleans-inspired Jazz Kitchen. Shops like Sephora, Petals and Illuminations will appeal to locals, though most are aimed at out-of-towners (including the planet's second largest World of Disney store).

I like coming to Downtown Disney for a nice walk and to enjoy some snacks or food...although it is quite a drive, I like going to the candy store, can't remember its name, but I load up on chocolate covered strawberries....walk into Sephora to check out the latest additions to the beauty scene and walk to Wetzel's Pretzels and buy me a slushie..they have many flavors to choose from...and buy the pizza pretzel...sooo good...its a great place to get away for awhile...the best thing is that parking is free! and its never so packed when i go...
