Downtown Disney - never again

Just had lovely evening at downtown Disney as we went to see cirque du soleil and meal at raglan road. HOWEVER a nightmare getting in at 4pm and even more of nightmare leaving at 9.30. Roads at total gridlock. All boarding also looks horrible. Certainly would bother just for a walk round.

Agree with this. We were there a few days ago. Nightmare to get in. Unpleasant to walk around. Nightmare to get out. All to build yet more shops.

There seems to be a lot of development work all round at the moment and it does detract.

It will look amazing when it's finished next year though.

We spent lots of time in Marketplace last November which was pretty much untouched. We were staying at SSR so it was a 10 minute walk along the river - very pleasant.

It will look amazing when it's finished, however having just returned after an evening there it is very crowded and difficult to get through. We count ourselves lucky being able to walk or catch the boat as we're staying at SSR but to get in by car looks difficult.

Hmmm... I guess it will look like what it is. A shopping centre by a lake.
