Getting the most out of Downtown Disney

[florida-again]

What you recommend in order to get the most out of Downtown Disney?
It will make up part of our 'disney-non theme park day' and I wondered how to get the most out of our time there, it will be just me and my boyfriend, both 20, no kids, not on a strict budget but certainly not rich!

I love World of Disney - but get there early or it can be quite busy. I never miss the Art of Disney and the Christmas Shoppe. My DS9 loves the Sports store.

Earl of Sandwich is quite good for a salad or sandwich (much better than McDonald's). Ghiradelli is awesome if you want a bit of chocolate or ice cream.

PI has some nice shops for beach and club clothes. West Side is good for Disney Quest, but I'm not impressed with the shopping, but love the food at Wolfgang Puck's, Bongo's or House of Blues (good bands).

Take the ferry back and forth from West Side to Market Place.

Hope this helps!

We love DQ, but we have two teenagers so that helps. Virgin Records is the largest in the world if you like music. I love House of Blues.

Are you doing Pleasure Island at night? We haven't done much, but we're planning on the Adventurer's Club and Mannequins this trip. We hear the nightlife is fun.

Just as an aside, you might want to check out the candy store with the witch's cauldron; my sister was the designer (brag, brag).

Have fun.

Make sure you do Disney Quest. We all love it!!!!!!!Ages 10 - 40's. Always have a blast there! Make sure you do Buzz Lightyears Astroblaster, Mighty Ducks Pinball & Pirate Ship! Depending on your tickets this may be included.
We love to go to the ice cream shop & the House of Blues is very enjoyable!

Have a great time!!!!!!!!!!1
