Lake Buena Vista, FL |
While I am hesitant to journey into the wonderful world of Disney (I can write a whole blog dedicated to it), I wanted to mention some entertaining things to do in the Lake Buena Vista that didn't involve an entire day at a theme park, but may still involve some magic.

After a long hot day at the parks, you might want to take a stroll at the Disney Boardwalk. An enchanting place where street performers keep audiences on their toes and the Epcot fireworks light up the night sky. You can also enjoy the season's latest sporting events at the ESPN Club or have a slice of pizza and some Disney dessert from the Boardwalk Bakery. You can have a look at all the Disney Boardwalk has to offer at Disney Boardwalk
Downtown Disney is as good as any day spent at a park. The possibilities for sightseeing are endless. They have an AMC movie theater complex (which is currently being renovated to accommodate fine dining), a Cirque De Soleil nightly show, several Disney stores (ranging from Christmas to Kitchen), a wide selection of restaurants, and Disney Quest, an interactive theme park, just to name a few. Enjoy all that Disney has to offer and more without ever setting a foot inside a theme park. (Though I highly recommend you do.)
Characters In Flight at Downtown Disney
Don't Miss List!
Even Storm Troopers can't escape the lines | at Disney |
Attractions: The Characters in Flight air balloon ride at Downtown Disney takes you up 400 feet in the air to overlook the entire Disney complex. If you're a Disney fan, you wont want to miss this! (Check out the amazing video above) Another favorite activity of mine lies inside Disney Quest, at the animation studio where they'll teach you to draw some of your favorite beloved Disney characters.
Shopping: If you've got Disney fever, then Downtown Disney is the place to be. My favorite store is The World of Disney...but watch out for Stitch, he likes to spit! The Art of Disney shows the whimsical and elegant side of Disney with fine art and sculptures ready to be displayed in your living room.
Where to Eat: As featured on the Food Network, Earl of Sandwich makes the most delicious sandwiches you'll ever taste. Though a bit pricey, they are well worth the money. You can find Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney. The House of Blues at Downtown Disney is also a great spot to eat great food and listen to some good music.
Events: Ok, I admit, these are at the theme parks, but they're so much fun they deserved a mention. Disney's Hollywood Studios Star Wars Weekend & Epcot's Festival of Food and Wine are two of the most enjoyable experiences Disney has to offer. I try to attend annually as you never know what you'll see next. Here is a link to some exciting events going on in and around Disney: Disney Events
