Downtown Disney Anaheim
Downtown Disney is open to the public, and there is no admission charge. If you want to eat, shop or go to the movies here, the first three hours of parking are free, and you can get two more hours free with validation from the movie theatre or any sit-down restaurant. When it opened in 2001, though, Disney's California Adventure was a much-maligned theme park, with critics complaining that there were too few rides and attractions.
Roy Disney, the nephew of Walt, accused the company of building the park \"on the cheap\" when he resigned in November from the Disney board of directors.
