HOW TO MAKE IT WORK
IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER
if you make Downtown Disney your destination for the
day or if you decide to go on the spur of the moment—fun can be had by all anytime.
Family restrooms (with a changing and nursing area) are located in the Marketplace
near Once Upon a Toy and the Art of Disney.
SHOPPING
There are five ATMs at Downtown Disney. All major credit cards are ac-

Pickup is usually at the primary gift shop of your resort (no room delivery), but even
so, it sure beats lugging stuff around.
