Yeah I figured he would say that on the day of the attacks. I don't think either him or Bush said anything about Disneyland or shopping while the attack was being performed, but I can see a comment like that a few days after (even the day after) being used to try and calm people.
Edit: Apparently Bush's comment several days after was "Get down to Disney World in Florida. Take your families and enjoy life, the way we want it to be enjoyed." which to me suggests that yes, it was supposed to be a calming comment, that while America had just been attacked, it wasn't the end of the world, and people should act as normally as they could.
Oh look! They even build a shopping mall at ground zero for our purchasing convenience!
Westfield World Trade Center is a shopping center at the World Trade Center complex which is operated and managed by Westfield Corporation. The mall opened on August 16, 2016.

God forbid we let these insane terrorists get in the way of our pursuit of happiness...
That's just plain un-American!
