Disneyland Resort shared opening dates and details for several of their new Downtown Disney District shops and restaurants.
New Disney Retail Shops Opening Soon
Disneyland Resort announced three new shops earlier this year.
Opening December 6, 2024, Avengers Reserve will celebrate fandom and the stories of Marvel Super Heroes. At the entrance, a nine-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 look with lighting effects, authentic film props, and a media screen with a gaming demonstration station.
The shop will carry comic books, collectibles, Super Hero-inspired apparel, and role-play toys for all ages. The collections will be refreshed regularly.
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 eye-catching artwork.
This shop will be the home of 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 the home of an array of new confectionery treats! The interior will be whimsical and colorful with dimensional murals, and exhibition kitchens will be viewable from the promenade and inside the shop.
Here, you can pop in for favorite snacks like caramel apples, sour balls, lollipops, and churro toffee, and introducing to the Disneyland Resort: Werther’s Original Caramel popcorn.
Parkside Market Opening This Winter, With New Details
Parkside Market will open this winter on the west end of the district, bringing four distinctive locations under one roof!
The name of the second-story bar is Vista Parkside Market, which will offer views of the district and a place to sip signature craft cocktails and mocktails made with local ingredients and artful garnishes. Guests can also order from Parkside Market menus with full service right to their 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.
A First Look at the First-of-its-Kind Concept for Porto’s Bakery and Café
Porto’s fans will be able to pick up their signature Cheese Rolls, Potato Balls, and other favorite goodies from its Bakery and Café. 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.

Two new restaurant concepts are also in the works for the District, from Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori.
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 center bar, offering prime cuts of beef, fresh seafood, sandwiches and salads, and a selection of bourbon and cocktails.
Next door, Pearl’s Roadside BBQ will be a quick-service eatery offering dishes like 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 previous restaurant closed earlier this year.
