While demolition was completed and the land was cleared four months ago, we haven’t seen significant construction at Downtown Disney District yet. The district’s west side is being completely reimagined.
Several construction vehicles are parked at the site, behind construction walls. One section is roped off with orange tape.
A tank from earthwork company Southern California Grading is at the back of the site.
The reimagining will “introduce more innovative shopping, dining and entertainment experiences.”
It will draw inspiration from Southern California mid-century modern architecture and include an open lawn for relaxing and events.
Below is concept art for the reimagining.
Downtown Disney District will also have a new logo inspired by the Walt Disney Imagineering logo.

The drawing shows a monorail running in the background. Is a monorail line coming to the District?
That’s where it is now…
So the monorail system now going to downtown Disney springs/ downtown Disney area. That’s what your say the line is already built znd is running there?
There is no Downtown Disney in Florida, this is California.
The earthmovers are filling the hole from the former AMC Theatres & earl of Sandwich building now.
They are going to take down the old Rain Forest Cafe Building and ESPN building, and build a new hotel.
Just an unhappy Disney fan here. Why on earth are they changing things at Downtown Disney? I will miss the nostalgic ambiance that was the original DD Anaheim. Mr. Disney would be so disappointed that you are going ‘modern’, and so are we. Being a California resident, my family would visit there often, but too much has changed and it has no character AT ALL!
Disney execs, please stop this modernized version of a once memorable, family themed place that felt like home to all of us.
