Downtown Disney- Westside |
|
|
The West Side is actually the largest of the 3 areas that make up Downtown Disney. An array of unusual restaurants and shops line the walkways, and entertainment venues such as Disney Quest and Cirque du Soleil can be found here, providing the opportunity to enjoy some of the most unique entertainment anywhere around.
Entertainment in the West Side
AMC 24 Theaters shows the latest movies playing on 24 screens, 18 of them with stadium seating.
For movies and showtimes call 407/298-4488, for guest services call 407/827-1308)
Cirque du Soleil is a major theatrical production that combines the traditional elements of a circus with dance, acrobatics, and street-style entertainment. This is a performance of grand proportions, visually exciting and amazingly different. Tickets run from $49-$76
for kids (3-9) and from $61-$95 for adults depending on the seating. Purchasing your tickets in advance is highly recommended if you intend on visiting during holidays and peak travel season. (call 407/939-1298 for tickets)
Disney Quest is gigantic arcade of sorts that features some of the most unusual interactive games ever designed. A mix of state-of-the-art technology and a touch of that Disney magic brings to life adventure and fun like you’ve never experienced before. Guests can make their way through 4 rather distinctive areas, including the Explore Zone, the Score Zone, the Create Zone, and the Replay Zone, each filled with an array of games and rides.
Some of the standouts include Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold, where passengers partake in a 3-D adventure in search of treasure; Cyber Space Mountain, where guests design their own coaster and then actually get to ride it (via a simulator); and Aladdin’s Magic Carpet Ride, where guests can fly over the city of Agrabah. Two casual eateries serve salads, sandwiches, desserts, and drinks. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without its own souvenir shop filled with an array of Disney Quest
merchandise.
