Shopping
The stores at Downtown Disney have changed significantly since it opened in 2001. Some, like a cool one called Tin Pan Alley, I was sorry to see leave. Others, like the Anne Geddes store, I did not notice gone until a new store moved in.
Let’s begin with the stores that offer services for the Downtown Disney or Disneyland Resort guest. There’s an Alamo Rent A Car, Travelex (good for converting foreign currency) and Walt Disney Company Travel Services (good for adding options to your vacation).
There are also the following fun stores:
Apricot Lane Boutique
This clothing and accessories shop offers scarves, hats, belts, shoes and designer duds.

Also a clothing store, this shopping experience has a focus on young ladies and offers jeans, clothing and accessories.

Upstairs and outside the store are some Lego tables set up for playing fun. There is usually a Lego store employee watching the tables and often the employees will engage in some Lego building fun. This is the second largest Lego store in the country folks!

Before I had my daughter I used to cringe at the loud music, pink tutus and well, girly energy, coming out of this place. Now D’land Diva Baby Girl points to it excitedly whenever we pass by.
