Hello there, Michelle.
Welcome to planDisney. I’m glad you took the time to stop by with your question for us.
I’m happy to report that you do not need a ticket in order to enter
Downtown Disney District; after navigating through a brief security and bag check process, everyone can enter Downtown Disney District!
Downtown Disney District has wonderful retail and dining options for Guests to enjoy before, after, or in-between their theme park visits. While there, you can pick up some merchandise at
World of Disney or grab some mouth-watering treats at
Marceline’s Confectionery. My kids love watching the candy apples being transformed into whimsical Disney characters. We also enjoy the unique ice cream flavors at
Salt & Straw.
As you continue to plan your upcoming trip, be sure to check out
Disney Parks Blog and
Disneyland.com for the latest park news. Please don’t hesitate to write us again if you have more questions for us. We’re all EARS!
Sending you pixie dusts,
Kiki
