Disneyland Restaurant Resource

First, if you couldn't find it here, I would appreciate it if you would click on this link and send me a message to tell me what's missing.  I'll do my best to "fill in the blanks" as soon as possible.

Downtown Disney

Downtown Disney is the newest addition to the Disneyland Resort.  In addition to several fine themed restaurants (in alphabetical order Cafe Catal, House of Blues, La Brea Bakery, Naples Ristorante Pizzeria, Rainforest Cafe, Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen, Studio Grill, and Y Arriba! Y Arriba!) all of which are described in Kevin Yee's Disneyland Restaurant Resource, Downtown Disney has some bona-fide attractions in their own right.  There is something for everyone here, so plan on spending at least some time (perhaps an evening) early in the trip to check things out.  You can always return for more later after you've scoped it out.

Clubs / Attractions

House of Blues

House of Blues has a wide mix (not just blues, by any means) of live acts performing nightly.  Tickets (ranging from $5 to $30) can be purchased at the House of Blues box office or via Ticketmaster.

Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen

The Jazz Kitchen serves up more "traditional" jazz entertainment along with big (swing) band acts.  Tickets may be required.

Y Arriba! Y Arriba!

Latin, Spanish, and South American acts perform here.  Tickets may be required.

AMC Theatre

Why anyone would want to watch a movie when they're on vacation at Disneyland is beyond me, but if that's your thing, you're covered.

ESPN Zone

To say that the ESPN Zone is a sports bar (called the Screening Room) would be partly correct.  To add that it includes a high-tech, interactive sports-themed arcade (called the Sports Arena) is also true.  ESPN Zone is a big time destination for sports enthusiasts.

Shops

Basin

Bath and Body products...just like in your local mall at home.

House of Blues Company Store

Food items and logo items are sold. 

Liquid Planet

Beach wear and surfing equipment are the items for sale. 

Main Spring

Watches and timepieces of every make and style. 

Marceline Confectionary

Named for Walt's hometown in Missouri, chocolates and candies are made and sold here. 

Petals

Leather items, including bags, jackets, etc. are available here. 

Rainforest Shop

This shop pushes Logo merchandise and other items with a environmental theme. 

Sephora

Makeup, bath, and beauty products...again, just like at the mall at home 

Soliton

Sunglasses of every style are available here. 

Something Silver

Jewelry, mostly with a silver finish, is the product of choice here. 

Starabilias

Film, television, and other memorabilia are available to peruse or purchase. 

World of Disney

If Disney merchandises or licenses a product for manufacture, it's very likely that it can be purchased here.  This store is huge, second in size only to it's counterpart at Walt Disney World in Florida.
