Disney's open-air waterfront promenade, no park ticket and no turnstile, just an evening on the water. Dining, shopping and live music stitch the neighborhoods together, from the World of Disney store to Ghirardelli ice cream in hand and boats gliding past. Crowds stack up as the night builds and prices carry the Disney premium, but guests still call it a lovely place to wander and soak up the atmosphere.
