And, as I mentioned, the restaurant Catal, which was very good.<br /><br />La Brea was a zoo in the AM, of course, too small for the crowd load. Lego was fun for all four of us, good memories of my kids childhood in here. The rest of the shops were not appealing merchandise, but the styling and design quality of the structures are first rate.<br /><br />I understand that the Florida DD is to be renovated in a major way. I know nothing of it otherwise. Does anyone have news or trip reports to share?<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-32151618813912066262013-11-07T08:57:23.610-08:002013-11-07T08:57:23.610-08:00I thought Downtown Disney was the best thing about...I thought Downtown Disney was the best thing about the "new" Disneyland Resort when it first opened. I used to eat there all the time at the various dining establishments. I also enjoyed World of Disney and the Department 56 store that used to be there. Nowadays it's more of a walkthrough on the way to the parks unless I'm with someone else.<br /><br />Tortilla Jo's used to be a favorite of mine when it opened in Downtown Disney, though last time I ate there in 2006 I didn't care much for menu changes. Not sure how it is now.<br /><br />Since recent improvements and additions, I've tended to shift my time away from Downtown Disney towards California Adventure with it's new Buena Vista Street and Cars Land areas.<br /><br />I'm kind of surprised they don't open up some sort of Marvel store featuring their comics and various products related to Marvel.K.
