Marketplace - Orlando Hotels .com

Disney's Marketplace is dedicated to browsing and shopping. Although the main attraction is Disney themed shopping, there are kiosks selling snacks and other crafts, as well as a variety of restaurants. Arguably, the most popular shop is The World of Disney, which is the biggest Disney store in the world. It is divided into twelve sections selling toys, stuffed animals, household items, collectibles, clothing, and gifts. 

In addition to this, there is a salon for the girls to dress up as princesses, as well as a room just for boys' activities. Other popular shops include Once Upon A Toy, where children young and old can find a wide variety of toys; Lego Imagination Center, which has an outdoor play area with Lego pieces, offering parents a chance to sit down and relax for a while; Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop, famous for their fudge Sunday; and Eurospain, a shop selling fine crystal where guests can watch the process of glassblowing. Disney's Days of Christmas was made especially for the Christmas aficionados and is open all year round, while Disney's Wonderful World of Memories offers stationary and scrapbooks. 

For beach and surf wear, go to Summer Sands. Restaurants include Cap'N Jack's Oyster Bar Restaurant, serving seafood, McDonald's, and Fulton's Crab House, which offers more sophisticated fare. For those who enjoy going out on the water, there is boating and fishing at Cap'n Jack's Marina.
