Shopping and Eating

The South Terminal's Village shopping mall features a Warner Brothers Studio store. After going through security, you'll find the Disney Store in the Duty Free shopping area of the Airside lounge.

If you forgot to bring colouring books you can get them from the bookshops, such as WH Smith, which are in either terminal. Restaurants and shops selling snacks are plentiful at both terminals.

Inter Terminal Transit Train

If you still have time before your flight you can always take the kids for a free ride on the Inter Terminal Transit train which runs every 3 minutes between the North and South Terminals. The ride only takes about 2 minutes so be prepared to make a few trips.
