Downtown Disney - transportation and hours

We will be arriving in Orlando about 10:00 and plan on going straight to Magic Kingdom for the day.

We would like to go to Downtown Disney at night to shop, walk around and eat.

We will be staying at the Boardwalk and will be taking Disney transportation.

Can anyone tell me about how long it would be to get to Downtown Disney from Boardwalk and what the mode of transportation is.

Also, do the restaurants stay open late? We were thinking of going to Wolfgangs or the Fulton Crab House. We will only be there for four days (all adults) and want to fit in as much as possible.

Also, is the Westside just a name of a section of Downtown Disney?

These were questions I just didn%26#39;t seem to be able to get any answers to.

Thanks for any help.

Westside is part of DD. It was built later , after the Marketplace. The Marketplace, Pleasure Island and the Westside are all joined and easily walked.

You will be able to get a bus to DD from the Boardwalk, travel time around 10 mins.

The resteraunts are open till at least midnight.
