Downtown Disney few questions

[First Timer 12]

Hi all,

Just a couple of things I was wondering about Downtown Disney. We plan to go here one day just for a look around the shops and maybe have some lunch I've read a lot about Earl of Sandwich! Just wondering is it a separate car park for Downtown Disney? What time it opens at? We want to be there early ish as might combine this with our shopping day. We didn't visit Downtown Disney last year only MK & HS so I'm still only learning about parks and everything. We will have a car. Any advice appreciated

Yes it has a separate free car park for DTD. I dont know about the opening hours although im sure someone will. They have a Haagen Dazs shop which works for me in the Florida heat

Can only answer the carpark question. It has its own car park at the front of downtown disney. Bit like visiting the mall
Its also free to park there

Downtown Disney has its own car park, as it is a separate thing to the parks. Closing time varies, but it tends to start opening at about 9:30am.

I think the market place shops are open by 9:30.

Great thanks for the replies everyone. So when driving to it I presume there is signs that say downtown Disney and we follow those? Sorry if silly question!

It's as easy to find as any of the other parks. It's opposite Typhoon Lagoon if that helps.
