A lively family-friendly entertainment strip just outside the entrance to Disneyland Resort, Downtown Disney is full of international open-air cafes, shopping venues and gift shops. It also hosts nightclubs and a movie theatre showing current films and documentaries.
Visitors get a dose of Disney magic with the regularly occurring live music on outdoor stages. Professional entertainers hit the stage with all styles of music ranging from pop to classical jazz, blues and Broadway-style show tunes. You’ll also recognise theme songs from blockbuster Disney films.
Favourite entertainment options at Downtown Disney include Luxury Lanes, an old-fashioned style of lane bowling. At the Star Wars Universe attraction, visitors interact with Stars Wars characters in a hyper-reality adventure that incorporates technology, i3-D imagery, illusion and virtual reality.
Getting There
