Spoil Yourself at Downtown Disney....

Shopping at Downtown Disney is quite a treat! Where else can you find a GIANT Disney store, Christmas store, Lego store, art store, Disney pantry store, Disney clothing stores, Disney team apparel, variety of entertainment and food like you would not believe! This place has adventure for people of all ages!

World of Disney is a Disney department-like store filled of Disney treats. There is a home goods section, toys, jewelry, collectibles, clothing and more. The outside of the store is decorated in various Disney characters and they change these up as I have never seen the same statues there in the four times I have visited.

We shopped here our first day and this was also our final stop before heading north. I have a certain amount of money left to spend on my Disney Visa Rewards Card and boy did I have have hard time narrowing down the decision! I finally came out with a Mickey muffin mold and Mickey cookie cutter. I used the cookie cutter just two days after I returned home so I could enjoy Mickey chocolate chip cookies and continue to enjoy the magic even though I was at home.

In addition to shopping in this grand store is Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, a salon where girls and boys can be be transformed into princesses and princes. 

Besides World of Disney, my other two favorite stores are Disney's Days of Christmas and Art of Disney. In our house we have two Christmas trees because mine is 100% Disney! With that I decorate that half of the house in Disney, so this store is always a treat! When I visited this last time I bought a picture frame ornament to put an anniversary photo in that matches an ornament I bought there 10 years ago on our honeymoon with a picture from the honeymoon. What a neat little decoration store. Art of Disney is another favorite. From paintings and drawing to collectibles- I love this store! I could not resist the Precious Moments Snow White Music box. It made me think of my aunt who bought the girls a Precious Moments Tinkerbell and Cinderella music boxes for Christmas last year and the other pieces of the collection she has been getting for us and now I have decided to start collecting.

Check out these sculptures- can you believe these are made out of Legos? This store is nothing but Legos and even has an area for kids to play with Legos. All of this happens at the Lego Imagination Center.

Besides all of the wonderful stores to visit, eating at Downtown Disney is an EXTRA treat! We headed for lunch before shopping and on our last night went looking for a place to eat for dinner before heading north, and this restaurant was the perfect choice for BOTH meals!

Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant  had amazing food! How many kids would eat lamb and want more? The kids and I ordered Shepherds Pie which was mashed potatoes on top of ground lamb/beef for lunch on our first trip to Raglan Road and they ate it all. Then when we went back at the end of the week they asked for it again and ate most of it. In the evening they even have Irish live music and Irish dancing.

In case you haven't noticed- I HIGHLY recommend eating here. Oh and don't skip dessert- the Creme Brule' made with Irish Cream is yummy! One final note- they accept Disney Dining Plan!

What would a trip to Downtown Disney be without a sweet treat? Head over to Goofy Candy Co. They have plenty of treats to choose from, BUT you can also create your own treat. You get a form to fill out, choose the treat type then all the toppings. I made an excellent choice! Mickey Mouse rice crispy treat dipped in dark chocolate covered in sprinkles! It was incredible! It made a two day treat though because of how large and sweet it is. I am craving another one. Can't wait till my next trip so I can try it again! It definitely will not disappoint!

Make sure to save time on your Disney Vacation to head to Downtown Disney for some great spoiling time! You definitely won't regret this fun exciting treat!
