Believe it or not, you don’t need to look further than Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim for any of those things.
The Downtown Disney Summer Celebration gets underway next Friday, June 6, with the first “DOLE Days of Summer” Hawaiian Night. The nights, every Friday except July 4 through mid-July, will feature Hawaii-themed entertainment in the Paradise Plaza next to House of Blues and Wonderground Gallery.

As part of the celebration, Downtown Disney District in partnership with Dole will be featuring fresh, new recipes within its dining locations throughout summer. Special menu items – among them a Pineapple Mojito at Tortilla Jo’s, Mango Chicken Salad at La Brea Bakery and Banana Split Dazzler at Haagen-Dazs – will feature each chef’s creativity, ease of preparation and the health benefit.
Downtown Disney District will celebrate Father’s Day weekend, June 14-15, when RIDEMAKERZ brings back the popular “Build One Ride and Build Another Ride for Free” special. Kids and Dads who build one ride can have extra fun building a second ride for free with freewheel street chassis, stock rims and stock tires.
