    We going to WDW Florida next month. We have limited time and want to take in as much as humanly possible, I must hit downtown, to shop! How far away from Magic King. and Animal King is downtown? How late is downtown open at night? Thank you!!!

    Stacie, thanks for your question! I hope I'm right in assuming by downtown you are referring to Downtown Disney! It is one of our favourite places, and we always start and end our vacation there! The quickest way to get there from either park is to take the bus to Saratoga Springs Resort, and then you can either enjoy a short stroll or take a bus. This should take about half an hour from the Magic Kingdom, and 40 minutes from the Animal Kingdom.

    The Downtown Disney Marketplace is typically open until 11 pm (Sun-Thurs) and 11:30 pm  (Fri and Sat), and Downtown Disney West Side is open until 11 pm (Sun-Thurs) and midnight (Fri and Sat).

    When you're there, be sure to check out the new Hanes Design-a-Tee store, where you can become a designer and watch your creation being made. Have fun!
