Does anyone ever visit Downtown Disney during there stay?

Always! We love to shop at WoD and Disney Days of Christmas. And Earl of Sandwich is one of the best, quick spots to eat in all of WDW! We often will visit 3-4 times during a 10 day stay.

Love it!

Rarely - with 5 day vacations there isn't time, the free time is spent at resorts or mini-golf...

On our first day down there, we always go to DTD. I don't like going into the parks for only a half or quarter of a day. I'd rather spend that time at Disney Quest or maybe grab a meal at the Rainforest Cafe or plant hollywood. Also, maybe a trip down International drive for some off-disney fun.

We also enjoy the Rainforest too. If you haven't already try The House of Blues the food is great, but sometimes the wait is long.

If you haven't joined their Safari club at the Rainforest, you might consider, small fee, one-time $10.00, I think, and the card gets you to the front of the line for a table, which can be a blessing when there is a 1-2 hours wait. It also gets you discounts in the gift shop, and they send you $5.00 coupons off food and purchases throughout the year.

To answer the original question, we spend a lot of time at DTD in the evening. We enjoy shopping, and always enjoy stopping in the Ghiradelli shop for a free sample and then some ice cream. We have stayed at Saratoga Springs a couple of times, and DTD is just a brief stroll from there. When staying at Saratoga, Downtown Disney is a beautiful site at night, all lit up and all.

I am a huge DTD man myself, although mostly I am at PI or the AMC theatres. The one thing I can reccommend is that every trip make sure you make it a point to go to the Adventurers Club at PI, it is the best.

We always go there. We usually schedule some down time from the parks to help us relaxe. We go here for lunch or dinner & shopping. We have also been to PI, but now like the dueling piano bar at BW better. One fun thing to watch...they have an outdoor ice skating ring set up & you can rent skates. This is very funny...most of the people have never been ice skating before!
