Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort is set to welcome several new dining and shopping experiences in the coming months.
Avengers Reserve Shop
This winter, Downtown Disney will introduce the Avengers Reserve, a new shop dedicated to the fandom of Marvel's Avengers. This store will offer a variety of merchandise, including collectibles, apparel, accessories, toys, and comics. Avengers Reserve aims to appeal to fans of all ages with a curated assortment of products that celebrate the stories and characters of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
D-Lander Shop
Also debuting this winter is the D-Lander Shop, a boutique that will feature Southern California-inspired fashion. The shop will offer a collection of trend-forward apparel, accessories, and jewelry, providing a new shopping destination for Disneyland fans looking for stylish, themed merchandise.
Disney Wonderful World of Sweets
Marceline's Confectionery, a popular spot for sweets and treats, is undergoing a transformation. This winter, it will reopen as the Disney Wonderful World of Sweets, an expanded shop featuring a variety of candies, churro toffee, caramel apples, sour balls, lollipops, and freshly made Werther's Original Caramel popcorn. Visitors will have the opportunity to watch confections being made from an exhibition kitchen that will be visible from the promenade. In the meantime, guests can enjoy treats from the Marceline's Confectionery cart, which will continue to operate during the renovation.
Kawaii Slime Cart
A new addition this fall is the Kawaii Slime Cart, which will offer a range of slimes in various textures, colors, and scents. This cart, brought by a mom-owned business, will provide a playful shopping experience for visitors, allowing them to explore a variety of slime concoctions and toys.
New Restaurants by Chef Joe Isidori
Two new restaurants, a steakhouse and a barbecue eatery, are being planned for Downtown Disney District by Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori. The steakhouse will feature a sophisticated atmosphere with a menu that includes prime cuts of beef, fresh seafood, sandwiches, and salads. A selection of cocktails will also be available for bourbon and mixology enthusiasts.
Adjacent to the steakhouse, the barbecue spot will offer a quick-service experience with traditional barbecue dishes like pulled pork, beef brisket, and smoked wings, all featuring unique spices and house-made sauces. The restaurant will also have an outdoor bar serving craft beers and moonshine cocktails. Both restaurants will be located on the former site of Tortilla Jo's.
The Carnaby Tavern by Earl of Sandwich
Earl of Sandwich is expanding its presence in Downtown Disney with a new concept called The Carnaby Tavern. Set to open above the new Earl of Sandwich location, The Carnaby Tavern will be inspired by the swinging '60s British Invasion. The restaurant will feature a patio with an indoor/outdoor bar, offering a new table service dining experience for visitors. The existing Earl of Sandwich on the east side of the district is set to close in 2025 to make way for Porto's Bakery.
