Eating, Shopping, and Boating at Downtown Disney Marketplace [aboutcomputer99.blogspot.com]

It's the tale of Chicken Little, only with Foxy Loxy being a cunning villain who uses a number of psychological tactics to drive a farm-ful of animals into a cave to be eaten. Slightly disturbing and quite political - most youngsters will probably prefer Disney's new, computer-animated take on the story, now in theaters.

Downtown Disney in Lake Buena Vista is easy to get to from any of the Walt Disney World resorts - the resorts offer transportation. The Marketplace in Downtown Disney is a great place to shop, eat, or take a boat ride. To avoid the crowds, read on.

Good Eats

Let's say the first thing you want to do is eat so that you have plenty of energy for shopping and nobody gets irritable.

Looking for seafood? Cap'n Jack's Oyster Bar is open from 11:30 am to 10:30 p.m. Sit at a table by the waterfront and look out over the lake. Specialties are all things fishy, including crab cakes, seafood pasta, and clam chowder.

Maybe you're hungry for some Latin chicken with fried plantains and yucca fries. At Pollo Campero, the chicken is famous. The restaurant, located in an old McDonald's, also has a health-conscious menu featuring vegetarian, organic, low-sodium, gluten-free and sugar-free meals.

But maybe you're not looking for healthy. You want rich, creamy and sweet. Like an ice-cream sundae! But not just any sundae, but made from the best chocolate - Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop. Who doesn't love a soda fountain? You remember those, right? But you don't have to be unhealthy about it. Ghirardelli's offers fat-free, sugar-free ice cream. Go early. This place is crowded at night.

Dreaming of eating out in a rainforest? The Rainforest Café offers steak and seafood, sandwiches, pasta, and salads, as well as burgers and dogs for the kids. You can eat amidst banyan trees, waterfalls, and animatronic wild animals. Expect a "thunderstorm" now and then. Gaze at the colorful tropical fish in the saltwater aquarium. If you're looking for a special drink, try to the bar under the giant Magic Mushroom.

If you've got gourmet tastes but don't want to linger, head over to the Wolfgang Puck Express, a fast-food version of the famous Wolfgang Puck Restaurant in Downtown Disney's West Side. The price is moderate a nd the place serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A sampling of the menu: French toast and waffles, muffins, omelets, and fruit for the morning; rotisserie chicken, soups, salads, wood-fired pizza, ice cream and cookies during the rest of the day.

The Earl of Sandwich might be the place if you're really in a hurry. The Earl makes fresh sandwiches on the spot using their special sauces and spreads. They're also famous for their pastries and ice-cream sandwiches. Very reasonably priced.

Really on the go? Look for kiosks around the Marketplace where you can refresh yourself with coffee drinks, smoothies, snacks, and even Margaritas.

Now you're ready to hit the shops.

You're a Disney fan so you want Disney stuff. Mickey's Pantry is the place if you're a cook. There you can find waffle irons, dinner plates, and coffee mugs with a Mickey theme. You can also pick up some tea, spices, sea salt, and flavored sugars in the "Spice & Tea Exchange" section.

What would Disney World be without toys? Once Upon a Toy Store has more Disney-themed toys than you ever dream of. The place looks like it was made out of Lincoln Logs. You can also find Disney DVDs.

More toys? Dream of a shop exclusively devoted to LEGOs? LEGO Imagination Center has, well, every kind of LEGO imaginable, plus all kinds of games, clothing, and kits. Make use of the gigantic outdoor play zone. And watch out for the LEGO sea serpent in the lake.

Are you a collector of all things Disney? At The Art of Disney, you'll find all sorts of Disney-themed artwork as well as Walt Disney Classic Collection figurines, crystal and china. The best part is that there's a range of prices for everyone.

If you want to make you own art, design your own tee-shirt at Disney Design-A-Tee. Easy-to-use computers help you through the creative process. Choose a character like Tinker Bell and write your own text.

And don't forget your Disney holiday decoration s. At Disney's Days of Christmas, you'll find ornaments, hats, stockings all in Disney character, including Disney holiday movies and decorations for Hanukkah.

Personal Princess Care

At the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique inside the World Of Disney Store, you can be transformed into a princess. Disney Diva, Fairytale Princess, and Pop Princess are the fantasy hairstyles for little girls aged three and older. It's best to make a reservation at this salon. To have your hair, makeup and even your nails done Disney princess style, call 407) WDW-STYLE or (407) 939-7895.

Also in World Of Disney Store - a world of natural bath and facial products at Basin, including scented candles, bath crystals, and special soaps.

The World of Disney Store, by the way, is a huge, fifty-thousand square-foot mall filled with every possible Disney must-have item, from towels and to princess outfits to watches, magnets, and computer software.

Feeling Sporty Now?

Whether y ou play golf, baseball, or something else, at the Team Mickey Athletic Club, you'll find all kinds of sports apparel, ESPN merchandise, and memorabilia. Even Disney-themed bowling balls to give you that magic edge.

Or maybe you feel like getting dressed up for that romantic boat ride you're going to take later. At Tren-D the stuff is hip and stylish. Shop for Disney Couture clothing, designer jewelry, and purses made out of candy wrappers.

The Boat Ride on the Village Lake

You're all duded up and glittery princess-like now. At Cap'n Jack's Marina, you can rent a Sea Raycer if there's only one or two of you, canopy boats for up to eight people, and pontoon boats for a group of up to ten. Cap'n Jack's also offers cruises and bass fishing expeditions.
