Is it worth going to DTD?

I would not sacrifice things at the parks to do DTD, but it is a nice way to spend a relaxing few hours. I like checking out the entertainment on the waterfront stage, grab a snack and soak up some atmosphere while checking out local high school or college music or performance acts.

Also a nice way to spend an evening on early park closing days. Doesn't have to be all about spending $$

I think dtd is worth it. In the fall when the parks close early, it's a nice wrap to your day when you're not ready to go to bed yet.

I'm crossing my fingers that Disney Springs brings a new spin on dtd with even more to do.

Ditto!

We usually go at the end of our trip. The kids decide what t-shirts/souvenirs they want and we pick them up from WOD because it tends to be a bit cheaper and we don't have to waste park time standing in line to buy something.

We always go to DTD at least two times on our trip. Once for a meal and some shopping. Also always make a stop at Ghiradelli's for coffee. Ragland Road for a drink. We do walk thru some of the stores because I usually have a list of specific items I am looking for.

DTD is not always about the shopping. It is nice to experience the atmosphere and take some silly pictures with the family.

When we stay at POR we tend to go there more often because we love the boat ride to DTD..

So I think it's worth it for me and my family..

We love Raglan Road, the music is just fantastic so we usually do dinner here at least once a trip.

I enjoy wandering the shops of downtown disney, its a nice way to mellow out for a bit. We usually end up here once or twice a trip.

Haven't gone in years... Since everything is the same all over property, there's no real need in my opinion.

Have to agree with the everything's the same remark. It's a shame the Disney has changed the unique only-at-the-parks stuff. One shop is just like another.

That being said.....We always go on our last day of vacation to get some souvenir shopping in before we head for the airport.

I love Downtown.....but its definitely not the same since they closed the Adventurer's Club. A monumental error on Disney's part
