In Orlando and want to grab a bit of the Disney experience, but don’t have the time to take in a park? You might want to visit Downtown Disney, located about 20 minutes from downtown Orlando. Yes, it is touristy, but there are a ton of things to see, do, and eat. From fast food to high end meals, all done in Disney style. If you have a free evening, you can grab a show at the Cirque du Soleil Theatre, listen to some music at the House of Blues, or grab a bite at Planet Hollywood, T-Rex, or Wolfgang Puck’s. There is also a bowling alley, a 24 screen movie theater, the Disney Quest Interactive Theme Park, and much more to take in. Along with numerous Disney specialty stores that offer candies, artwork, collectibles, and the usual array of standard souvenirs, there is also a Lego store with numerous giant Disney figures made from the bricks (now including Star Wars). The evenings are typically filled with multiple musical acts along the walkways, which along with entry and parking are free.
