The latest from Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort
Category: Activities, Performances, & Events
Guests to the Disneyland Resort are in for a treat – literally. There are new places to dine and a new shop for fun items to keep the Disney memories alive. Downtown Disney is growing rapidly bringing many new places for more fun and fantasy.
Disney Wonderful World of Sweets
Most of us have a sweet tooth or two. This new shop is perfect for us! With fresh Werther’s Original Caramel popcorn, cake pops, candy, and sweet treats of all kinds, Disney Wonderful World of Sweets is filled with delicious treats. And there are new characters like Poppi the popcorn bucket, plus Jimmi, Fluffi, Bonni, and Lolli cake pops.
Walking into this shop reminds me of the Candyland game. It’s colorful and filled to the brim with sweets. And don’t forget to take home some treats for later!
Parkside Market
The Parkside Market food hall has several options for grabbing a snack or meal. Four culinary areas make this a unique place for foodies: Seoul Sister (Korean rice bowls), Sip & Sonder (lattes, frozen drinks, and things to nibble), GG’s Chicken Shop (chicken sandwiches, salads, and a variety of side dishes), and Vista Parkside Market (signature cocktails and cocktails along with plenty of full service food options).
Disney Storyland Boutique
Now, let’s not forget about shopping. The above locations feed our stomachs but we also need enjoy bringing home our favorite characters and Disney items.
Adding a new shop filled with plushies, clothing, and all kinds of gifts (for ourselves or others!) is a Disney lover’s dream come true. And this shop is absolutely adorable.
These are just the latest places to open in Downtown Disney, joining the recently opened Avengers Reserve with all kinds of items for Avengers fans and the D-Lander Shop with trendy jewelry, apparel, and accessories.
Downtown Disney is growing rapidly and adding some great new places to shop and dine for guests to the Disneyland Resort. And the best part is you don’t have to have a ticket and reservation to go to Downtown Disney. It’s a fun place just to hang out, people watch, and grab a meal.
