marketplace

The World of Disney is the main shop in the entire Downtown Disney area. It is the largest Disney merchandise store in the world. This store is huge!! There are 12 different rooms that have just about everything that you could think of relating to Disney. Inside, there are murals and large statues hovering above with large television screens showing scenes from Disney cartoons and movies. There's also a whole area devoted to stuffed Disney characters. They have everyone from Pooh to Pumba to extra large Mickey and Minnies. I guarantee you that you will buy a lot more than you expect to, so enter at your own risk.

LEGO Imagination Center

Kids of all ages can expand their imagination and have fun with tons of LEGOs. You can purchase LEGO sets and accessories inside or build your own creation outside. There are some great statues surrounding the area completely made of LEGOs.

Team Mickey Athletic Club

This is for all of the sports fans. You can find all of the Disney sports merchandise, and also find some authentic team merchandise as well.

Rainforest Cafe

This place is always packed, but we still love to eat here. It's located inside a large volcano at the far right of the Marketplace. Inside, there are animatronic animals that move while you eat. It's kind of weird at first, but then you'll get use to it. Every 15-20 minutes, the lights dim, thunder crashes, and the animals move a lot and make noises. It's unlike you're typical restaurant.

Fulton's Crab House

Fulton's Crab House is located right beside the Marketplace entrance to Pleasure Island. This seafood restaurant is inside of a riverboat floating on the Buena Vista Lagoon. The menu is a little on the pricy side, that's why they have one available outside of the restaurant.
