In addition to the two Disney parks, there's also Downtown Disney which is a must see when in Anaheim. We always have a great time walking around Downtown, shopping, having a great meal, and just hanging out. There are plenty of restaurants, great shopping opportunities if you've forgotten to buy your keepsakes in the park, and a great place to people watch. You can get many of the sweets that you can find in the park, and the huge Disney store has everything you could want.

Pre COVID, this place is amazing! I have NOT been there since the restrictions, and Covid stuff. Prior to all that, this area is awesome! This is going to be long so, bare with me! First off, pay for the valet parking! It don t cost much, will save you the headache. Parking can be a nightmare. Park your car, and enjoy the area! This a great place for dates, and just getting out! The food options are amazing! Google “The Blind rabbit”! I had no idea about this place! Until, a wall opend up while, my daughter was enjoying a crape. Yeah! The wall just opened! I was leaning against it! Disneyland thing, Speak easy,/pirates of the Caribbean/ Alice in wonder land/ Harry Potter/ steam punk/ mixology place can’t really put my finger on it, or the kind of vibe but, really awesome and, the staff is amazing! Very easy to talk to, and they answer all your dumb questions, like mine, as to what they are setting on fire, and what the contraptions are doing. Make a reservation! Like 20 people max capacity! Perfect for a date night! Just do drinks though unless you are into fancy food. Would have preferred one of the many options available in the packing house. Just not my thing. Asian place across the street, great noodles! Walk down two lights, hang a left, house of chimney cakes!! GO THERE! Then, walk down to the DUCKS hockey arena and watch amateurs skate and play hockey! Air conditioning, and, a full bar! Awesome!

This was a relaxing stroll along a stream in a beautiful park. The cotrast in the rich vegetation fed by the stream and the dry hillsides was striking.

This was great! We could get basically anything we were looking in the parks at right here and didnt have to worry about carrying it around all day like we would have inside the parks! So many options!
