When was the last time you visited Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World?  Even if its been only a few weeks or months, you might be surprised about all the changes taking place.  New shops and restaurants are opening, like the Marketplace Co-Op and The Boathouse, while some old favorites, like the World of Disney store and Paradiso 37, are expanding.
