Hi, Leslie! There is so much to do at Walt Disney World, even when you aren't visiting the theme parks!
Downtown Disney doesn't require a ticket of any kind, and it boasts great shopping, dining, and entertainment. It is a must-do on each of our trips.
Disney's BoardWalk area also offers shopping, dining, and entertainment without an admission price. We love to visit the Walt Disney World Resort hotels! In fact, some of our favorite restaurants are found outside the theme parks in these unique locations. We especially enjoy
Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Wilderness Lodge for its good food, fun, and Cast Member antics. Disney's Beach Club Resort offers
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop for American grill food and amazing desserts, including the legendary Kitchen Sink. For more finer dining, visit
Jiko - The Cooking Place at Animal Kingdom Lodge or
Yachtsman Steakhouse at Yacht Club Resort. While there, be sure to check out the unique theme of each Resort. Such attention to detail makes these Resorts attractions themselves. Happy planning and have a Magical vacation!
