Details for New Downtown Disney Shops and Restaurants

There’s more in store at the Downtown Disney District – more shopping, more dining and even more fun! We’re thrilled to give you the next sneak peek and inside scoop on all that’s on the way for you to enjoy in the district at the Disneyland Resort – including opening details for Avengers Reserve and the D-Lander Shop, a first look at the first-of-its kind concept for Porto’s, additional details on Parkside Market, and so much more!

We recently shared with you that three new shops are coming to the district! Let us give you a closer look at these exciting locations coming soon.

Opening December 6, 2024, Avengers Reserve will celebrate fandom and the stories of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and their amazing friends! 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.

The shop will carry comic books, must-have collectibles, Super Hero-inspired apparel and role-play toys for all ages. The collections will be refreshed regularly, so you’ll want to come back again and again!

Also opening on December 6, 2024, the D-Lander Shop will be light, bright and modern with pops of colors, a relaxing lounge area, and the fitting rooms will have fabulous, eye-catching artwork!

In all, this might be your new favorite place for trend forward fashions and co-branded collections of apparel, handbags and jewelry including Kate Spade, Dooney & Bourke and a dedicated Pandora Jewelry shop-within-a-shop!

Opening this winter, Disney Wonderful World of Sweets will be a wonderful place with the sweetest tastes, introducing a splendid array of new confectionery treats! 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. Here, you can pop in for favorite snacks such as caramel apples, sour balls, lollipops, churro toffee and introducing to the Disneyland Resort, freshly made Werther’s Original Caramel popcorn. These treats are perfect for gift giving, or just take some home for yourself!

Parkside Market will open this winter on the west end of the district, bringing four distinctive locations under one roof! First, let’s reveal the name of the second story bar: Vista Parkside Market, which will offer great views of the district to sip signature craft cocktails and mocktails made with local ingredients and artful garnishes. These will pair nicely with Parkside Market menus with full service right to your table.

As we previously shared, Parkside Market will 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.

Scrumptious plans are underway for Porto’s Bakery and Café and we want to give you the first look!

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. Stay tuned for more details in the future!

Here’s more meaty news about two new restaurant concepts in the works for Downtown Disney District by Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori.

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.

You may see work beginning soon where these restaurants will be built on the footprint of the former Tortilla Jo’s.

The LEGO Store has been busy building new creations with the refurbishment of their flagship Downtown Disney location. While the store will reopen soon with refreshed interior spaces, their Master Builders will begin work on new sculptures for the exterior. It’s always a fun-filled world of vivid colors and imagination at The LEGO Store! What will you build next?
