Downtown Disney West SideDowntown Disney offers some fine Disney dining, live music venues, fast food eateries, retail stores, and movie theaters. It's home to the very popular Cirque du Soleil® and DisneyQuest®. Sample some Latin rhythms and a martini at Bongos Cuban Café™ - the 'baby' of super diva Gloria Estefan. The House of Blues® is a great 'gritty' venue for live performances from one big name band after another (check listings, book early!) - they also offer some very good BBQ.  On the other side of the spectrum Raglan Road™ Irish Pub and Restaurant offers live Irish music and dancing – along with tasty traditional fare with a modern twist.  Maybe have dinner at the excellent Wolfgang Puck® Café (upstairs at Puck's is a real culinary treat - reservation only) then take in a movie at the AMC® 24 Theatres Complex. For the truly star struck there's always Planet Hollywood® and the guarantee of a darn good burger with a glimpse of a bonafide star (or at least the contents of their wardrobe!) For great CD's, feature appearances, signings and all that's hip in the world of music, the Virgin™ Megastore awaits.

Insider Tips
  • Buy your movie tickets inside the AMC 24 Theatres Complex at the credit card machines and avoid the long lines at the ticket window.
  • For a very special occasion combine the 6pm Cirque Du Soleil show with a dinner reservation 'upstairs' at Wolfgang Puck's Café.
  • Don't go into the House of Blues concert venue too early before a show, since they won't re-admit you if you leave the building.
