What is the best restaurant and shop in Downtown Disney?
I was curious about what is the best restaurant and what is the best shop in Downtown Disney??? I have my favorites in stores..."World of Disney", "Build a Pin", and "Once upon a toy." As for restaurants, I have never been to one. Since I might be going there real soon, I would just like to hear your opinions. Thanks everyone and have a magical day!

Re: What is the best restaurant and shop in Downtown Disney?
Me and my DD both agree that Once Upon a Toy is our favortie shop with the Pooh store running a close second. I also love the Christmas shop and usually spend a good hour looking over the ornaments. I have no favorite place to eat though. We usually just go to DTD Market place for a few hours on our "off" day and head back to our resort for a meal.

Re: What is the best restaurant and shop in Downtown Disney?
I totally forgot about the Lego store (everyone loves legos) and Ghiradelli's (everyone loves chocolate...I hope, if not your weird). Great answers you guys!

Re: What is the best restaurant and shop in Downtown Disney?
Our favorite stores are The World of Disney, the Pooh Store, Disney Home Store, and the Art of Disney. It seems we always buy from those stores, but still browse through the others. As far as eating goes, since my kids are younger they insist on eating at the McDonalds right next to the Lego play area so they can have more time to play. Not the best food, but it is their vacation too and they enjoy it.

Re: What is the best restaurant and shop in Downtown Disney?
Fulton's Crab House is the absolute best restaurant -- it has a soft spot in my heart because my husband and I always plan one night away from the kids, and guess where we go.... We love the huge crab platter, the wine list and the hashbrowns! And th ecool part is that Fulton's can be romantic for two, or family friendly for everyone in the clan!

Re: What is the best restaurant and shop in Downtown Disney?
I love the Pooh shop and the Home Store and the Art Store, as well as the World of Disney. Though it's not my favourite, the rest of the family like Rainforest Cafe. I enjoyed Fulton's, Wolfgang Puck Express (but not the restaurant in DTD), and surprisingly, Planet Hollywood. I can't wait to try Earl of Sandwich - that's my husband's idea of Nirvana.

The Earl of Sandwich was Awesome!! Best sandwich I think I have ever eaten. We went there for the first time on our DTD shopping afternoon, and went back for lunch the day we came home!
