Downtown Disney (officially the Downtown Disney District) is an outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment area located at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, United States. It was constructed during the late 1990s Disneyland Resort expansion which also included the construction of Disney California Adventure, and opened on January 12, 2001.[1]

Location and history

Downtown Disney District lies between the Disneyland Resort's two theme parks and its hotels. The district was built on space previously occupied by the original Disneyland parking lot and Disneyland Hotel, and includes a bridge over Disneyland Drive (formerly West Street) which was regraded to accommodate the bridge. It is considerably smaller than its Walt Disney World counterpart. No admission ticket is required for Downtown Disney District.

California's Downtown Disney District was designed to attract local residents and to encourage extended stays in the resort district.

One side of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, and one side of the Disneyland Hotel's Adventure Tower face Downtown Disney, providing a view of the area.

Other attractions and entertainment

Disneyland Monorail System

The Disneyland Monorail System[43] has two stations, one located in Tomorrowland and another in Downtown Disney. Built as part of the Monorail's 1961 extension, the station was known as the Disneyland Hotel[44] Monorail Station from 1961 to 2000. It underwent a major renovation and re-theming as part of the 1998-2001 Disneyland Resort expansion, and was re-designated the Downtown Disney Monorail Station in 2001. Admission to Disneyland Park is required to ride the Monorail.

When Downtown Disney first opened, theme park guests could purchase admission from a ticket booth adjacent to the Monorail station. However, the ticket booth was closed a few years later, leaving the Downtown Disney Monorail Station turnstiles open only to guests who had already purchased admission elsewhere.
