Downtown Disney is the shopping, dining, and entertainment center at Disneyland that is located to the west of the two theme parks. It's within convenient walking distance of Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and the Disney Resort Hotels. The area is situated as a long, straight path with shops and restaurants situated on either side. Downtown Disney should take somewhere between 15-30 minutes to walk the length of depending on how fast you are walking and crowd levels.
The Downtown Disney map below is the most recently available map in 2025 that shows the locations of shops and restaurants in the district. This map will likely be updated soon as Downtown Disney continues its ongoing transformation. You can read all about the Downtown Disney expansion for more details.
