Located just minutes from Disneyland Resort hotels and theme parks, Downtown Disney is an easy walk for on-site guests.

Charming visitors since 1975, Downtown Disney was initially envisioned as a shopping mall. Over the decades it has undergone a handful of expansions and rebrands and is now an integral part of the Walt Disney World experience. The latest redevelopment saw the neighbourhood renamed as Disney Springs, with creative directors dividing it up into four unique neighbourhoods that include the Marketplace, The Landing, Town Centre, and West Side. Each is inspired by real coastal towns found throughout the Florida region.
