Disney Village

Shops - Restaurants - Bars and Night-Clubs

This 18,000 sq. metre area is marked by enormous silver and red vertical columns, apparently supporting nothing but a bunch of wires. These wires actually support small lights, but during the day they're obviously not switched on. At night, they look quite good, but the pattern they form is only obvious from close-up. The enormous columns contain mainly small kiosks and/or loudspeakers which emit music constantly while Disney Village is open (from 8.30am until well after midnight). Disney Village consists of a number of night-clubs, restaurants, shops, kiosks, a cinema and Buffalo Bills Wild West Show (see section 5.14). Just in front of the Buffalo Bill building is a small coral area where horse-riding demonstrations are sometimes held. There is now a good sized car park located between Disney Village and the Newport Bay Hotel for people who are using the Disney Village facilities but not planning to visit the park.

Disney Village includes several restaurants, many of which are rather expensive, especially for drinks. I recommend eating inside the park, if at all possible. The Disney Village night-life is probably best sampled when the park shuts early (see section 1.2 for current Disney Village opening hours). The shops are mostly average Disney stores, slightly themed but with nothing too spectacular that you couldn't get cheaper back home. They do stock a nice range of special Disney Village logo merchandise, though (shirts, mugs, caps etc.)

You can rent various water vehicles for use on Lake Disney from the Marina Del Ray:

Toobie FFr 50 (30 mins)
Pedalo FFr 30 (30 mins)
Hydromer FFr 80 (30 mins)
Jet Ski (1 person) FFr 80 (15 mins)
Jet Ski (2 people) FFr 120 (15 mins)

Regan B. Pederson (xxx@oo.com) comments: The only thing I'll say about Disney Village is that it typifies the cheap sleazy carnival atmosphere that Walt so hoped to avoid (and now it carries his name on it). I was, however, fairly impressed with the Buffalo Bill show. The price for it is outrageous, though.
