Updates & Opening Dates Announced for New Downtown Disney Shops & Restaurants

Disneyland Resort has just shared the latest updates on new shops and restaurants coming as part of the exciting evolution of the Downtown Disney District.

New concept art and additional details have been revealed for the three retail shops that were previously announced for the Downtown Disney District:

Avengers Reserve, an all-new Super Hero shopping destination, will open on December 6th, with collectibles, comic books, apparel, and more for all ages.

At the entrance, a 9-foot Incredible Hulk sculpture will be smashing through the wall, while Spider-Man has climbed atop the building. Inside, the store will have a high energy, industrial vibe with lighting effects, authentic film props and a media screen with a gaming demonstration station.

Also opening on December 6th, the D-Lander Shop will feature new collections, including Kate Spade, Dooney & Bourke, and a dedicated Pandora Jewelry section celebrating trendy fashions and co-branded collections. This shop will also have a relaxing lounge area!

Opening this winter, Disney Wonderful World of Sweets will feature traditional favorites such as caramel apples, sour balls, lollipops, and churro toffee, along with new confectionery treats – including freshly made Werther’s Original Caramel popcorn.

The interior will be whimsical and colorful with dimensional murals of this delectable new world, and exhibition kitchens will be viewable from the promenade and inside the shop.

The Parkside Market food hall will open this winter, including Vista Parkside Market, the second-story bar with great views of the district, signature craft cocktails, and mocktails, giving this two-story location four distinctive spaces. Parkside Market will also feature Seoul Sister, a fast-casual modern eatery serving Korean-style rice bowls; Sip & Sonder serving lattes, fresh treats, frozen drinks and delicious small bites; and GG’s Chicken Shop serving chicken sandwiches, salads, and classic dinner table sides.

Additional Downtown Disney District updates include the reveal of new concept art for Porto’s Bakery and Café (pictured at top) and the names of two restaurant concepts from Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori coming to the district: Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbon and Pearl’s Roadside BBQ.

Here’s a peek at the lounge inside of Porto’s:

Porto’s fans will be able to pick up their signature Cheese Rolls, Potato Balls and other favorite goodies from its Bakery and Café, and for those looking for an enhanced Porto’s experience, this will be the first Porto’s location with sit-down table service and a full bar.

Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbon will be a classic steakhouse, with a lively center bar, offering prime cuts of beef, fresh seafood, sandwiches and salads, and an impressive selection of bourbon and inventive cocktails.

Next door, Pearl’s Roadside BBQ will be a quick-service eatery offering flavorful dishes such as pulled pork, beef brisket, and smoked heritage turkey with house-made sauces, along with craft beers and moonshine cocktails. Guests may see work beginning soon where these restaurants will be built on the footprint of the former Tortilla’s Jo’s.
