Downtown Disney District is an outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment area, themed after a garden walk, located at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. It was constructed during the Disneyland Resort expansion which also included the construction of Disney's California Adventure opening in 2001. Downtown Disney District occupies a space in between Disney's California Adventure Park and Disneyland park on the western side of the resort, west to Disneyland Hotel. Part of Anaheim's Downtown Disney is built on a bridge over Disneyland Drive (formerly West Street). It is smaller than its Florida namesake. Currently, no admission ticket is required for Downtown Disney District and parking is free for the first three hours. The location of the Disneyland Hotel Monorail station was incorporated into the Downtown Disney District area, while never physically moving the station's location.
Downtown Disney District in Anaheim includes the following attractions:
California's Downtown Disney District was designed more to attract "locals" and to encourage extended stays in the resort district.
One side of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel faces Downtown Disney, providing a view of the area.
