I an probably not in the right spot but here I go anyway...

What is the best way to get to Oliveria St from Anaheim. I have heard that the shopping here is great and I need to go.

Has anybody been recently, I was told you get knock offs of the good brands (Bags and stuff) and that it is pretty cheap. :)

Do you mean Olvera Street in Los Angeles? If you've got a car, take the Santa Ana Freeway (highway 5) north to Los Angeles. However, an even better way in my mind is to take the train from the Anaheim Amtrak station that's in the parking lot of Angel Stadium (no longer the Big Ed, right?). On weekdays, you can take either Amtrak or Metrolink. Both stop at Anaheim Station. Both stop at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. Right across the street from the main entrance of Union Station is Olvera Street.

I haven't shopped there in ages, so I don't know what kind of buys you'll find. Maybe someone else can help. The food is decent. Also across the street from Union Station is Philippe's, a great sandwich place that serves the BEST french dip sandwiches...and their mustard is awesome!

No worries! There are so many different shopping places here that "Oliveria St" could very well have been one of them! I would've hated to point you all the way to Los Angeles when there was something just around the corner from Disneyland! ;)

If you need more information on it, let me know! I'm trying to think of where else to go, especially if you're looking for knockoff's. If you're going to Olvera Street, you might as well go to Chinatown...they'll definitely have knockoff's there, and it's only a couple blocks away.

Also, if you're looking for name brand things at discounted prices, you should an outlet mall. If you have a car, there's one that you'd pass on the way to Olvera Street from Disneyland...right off the Santa Ana Fwy...I can't remember the exit...it's before Atlantic Blvd...someone please help me with this...it's not a huge outlet mall, but it's okay. It's called the Citadel. There's another one that's South on the Santa Ana Fwy in Carlsbad...that's right off the freeway as well, about an hour+ south of Disneyland (depending on traffic).

Here is the link to Philippes. I LOVE this place.

Ok, I have just looked at the site for Philippes and wow the food is soooo cheap. Is this a reflection of prices everywhere???

No.
Of course, "everywhere" is a pretty big place.

Web page indicated that it was last updated in Jan 2002. Prices might have gone up since then. Sandwiches might have shrunk since then.
Don't go on Sundays: it's closed.
