With Spring Break season coming to an end, the Disneyland Resort is feeling a little less intense these days. But with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge just around the corner, the Resort is rushing to look its best in time. Here are all the updates you need to know about Downtown Disney District, including parking structure construction and new merchandise.

It was announced a couple of weeks ago that the new parking structure being built next to Mickey & Friends will be called Pixar Pals. The new structure will have six levels and more than 5,000 parking spaces. It’s slated to open sometime in July.

These beams are a new addition to the parking structure, as well as the ones above the escalators.

Trees have been added to the space surrounding the escalators. It’s not clear if they are just here for the time being and will be planted elsewhere, but this doesn’t look to be their official resting place.

Over at Downtown Disney, subtle changes are taking place to the former ESPN Zone building to get it ready for Pop-Up Disney! A Mickey Celebration. The exhibit will open April 26th and tickets are on sale now. From the looks of this new sign, there will be a store where guests can purchase merchandise.

And we still don’t have an opening date for Black Tap Craft Burgers and Shakes. However, there is visible progress going on at the restaurant. The white beams are a new addition and likely form what we will be an outdoor patio.
