With my toddler starting on the Westside was great because we were able to stroll along the various booths beginning with the mixed media folk art found near House of Blues, the drawing classes found at DisneyQuest, past the large sculptures by Bongos and just about the time he began to lose interest due to my slow pace while exploring each booth we reached the Vinylmation interactive station outside D-Street. With Sharpies provided by event sponsor guests are invited to decorate the nearly life-sized Vinylmation template.
Continuing our stroll we discovered each of the Downtown Disney restaurants have booths setup offering easy to a la carte items for Festival goers. Portobello presents their Meatball Sliders, Raglan Road offers Chicken & Wild Mushroom Pie, House of Blues, a Slow Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich, etc.
