What are your Downtown Disney Must- Do's? We haven't been to DTD in a while and we need a refresher. Thanks!

Is Fulton's Crab House still there? If so, go. Also, drink beer. Beer is good.

Love dinner at T-REX!!!
I honestly love to sit and people watch. Oh and we always like to try on the hats at World of Disney, but after someone posting on here that they came home with unwanted buggy friends from doing that, I don't think I'll chance that again...
And we could never get away from the Lego store...
Never did the Hot air balloon they have. everytime I have been it was closed...Not only that but I can't see dropping a bunch of money on something that lasts a few minutes...however the view has got to be cool!

It's basically a mall. We go there to walk around and shop or window shop...there are also some restaurants and we may eat there. As for must-do's...there are no "attractions" there. Anything there can be done or not be done and it has no effect on my trip.

Thats why I go to T-rex...for the caveman punch....

Not true. There's Cirque du Soleil, the hot air balloon ride, Disney quest--I would consider those attractions.

For us though, we have to go to Fultons! So Good!

I'd better get a discount at Fulton's since I work for Levy Restaurants here in Pittsburgh.

Earl of Sandwich.

Excellent, and priced well for Disney. They also discount, AAA, maybe AP, if I recall.

Earl of Sandwich, World of Disney, and Basin are musts for me.

Must do for us is the christmas shop and World of Disney. Plus we like TrenD as well. DH would say fultons is good and we like WGPE.

Free chocolate at Ghirardelli's is good too and the coke floats are great on a hot day.

Have a look around ridez makers as well they have some pretty cool cars on display and the art shop over on the westside is worth a look too.

We never miss a chance to spend time at DTD ok yes for some people its just shops but if you take your time and look around and watch the free entertainment at night its great.

OH YEAH I forgot about Cirque du Soleil...Can never afford to go because I dump all my savings on everything else at Disney Maybe I will skip the WP's and use that to go next time....

 

[heatherandnick]

We like to look at the Lego sculptures and window displays.

Our family usually plans a shopping day, especially at the Christmas store to have our Christmas bulb personalized. We hit up Wolf Gang Puck express for lunch, Cirque du Soleil, and Disney Quest. Last year we tried T-Rex for dinner just to say we tried it. Don't forget your camera, we always find some great opportunities for family photos. We like to go to DTD just for a change of pace...enjoy!

Has anyone done the night scene down there? I feel like I heard some where that they have things comparable to street performers. My boyfriend and I are heading down there in May and I'm thinking heading down that way to grab a couple of drinks and see the performers (if there are any) might be a good idea.

 

[starrysky]

The last few times we have been to DTD at night they had a dance party on the main stage for the kids and some adults took part as well.

There was another more aimed at adult dance party with a DJ over on PI.

There was also an electric string quartet and they were really good. Another group over at the westside. Think there was also a guy doing card tricks as well.

We like to have a wonder around at night and just people watch. As well as the shopping.

We enjoy visiting the Art of Disney and the toy store. The Lego sculptures are fabulous too. We also try to visit the World of Disney early in the trip to see what the new souvenirs are.

I agree that the Earl of Sandwich is good. DS loved the Rainforest Cafe when he was young.

Yes we were there lasy August and there was a dance party onstage and a guy doing some plate balance act...it was very cool.

For the OP...Earl of sandwich is great and so is Wolfgang Puck Express
and check of the world of disney store

All this talk about Earl of Sandwich has got me wanting to get there for sure. I live in a place where it will probably be 5 years to never to see one anywhere near here.

I do love Fultons and the big Disney store.
