Hey there, Erica. Welcome to planDisney. I’m so glad you took the time to visit us with your question.
Downtown Disney District has great retail and dining options for Guests to enjoy before, after, or in-between their theme park visits. Be sure to pick up some souvenirs at World of Disney and grab some sweet treats at Marceline’s Confectionery. My kids and I enjoy ogling the candy apples being transformed into whimsical Disney characters.
I’m happy to report that you do not need a reservation to enter Downtown Disney District. You will, however, need to go through bag check and security prior to entry. Table service restaurants, such as
Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen and
Catal Restaurant, allow Guests to make advance dining reservations; however, last minute walk-ups may be available.
If you have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to
write us again! We’re all EARS!
See ya real soon,
Kiki
