We’re BACK at Downtown Disney for another exciting roundup of all the latest arrivals!
Downtown Disney
From fall treats to TONS of new merchandise (including CHRISTMAS merchandise, friends!), we have a full agenda of things to cover, so let’s jump right in!
Downtown Disney General and Construction Updates
As Buena Vista Street in California Adventure prepares to reopen for guests to shop and dine at, more “permanent” signage was installed yesterday at the main gates in front of the park! At this time we don’t have an exact date in November for when the location will reopen, but at least we know we’re within a matter of WEEKS from once again strolling through California Adventure!

Speaking of new signage, the health and safety signs that we have seen throughout Downtown Disney now have Spanish versions. This is one of the updates that was suggested to Disneyland by county health officials.

While there are plenty of new signs at Downtown Disney, there was one sign that we noticed was REMOVED from the shopping and dining district. We previously announced that the VOID was permanently closed in both Downtown Disney as well as Disney Springs, and now its main sign has been removed from the building’s facade.

The sign was already removed from its former Disney Springs location. It looks like much is changing in the Downtown Disney area ahead of Buena Vista Street’s reopening!
Downtown Disney Food Updates
Disneyland beignets are a quintessential west-coast snack. Not only can you find Mickey-shaped beignets inside the parks, but Downtown Disney also serves up some seriously scrumptious versions of their own at Jazz Kitchen Express.

This counter service location recently reopened, and you can now sample a TRIO of seasonal dipping sauces with your beignets: Praline-Maple Anglaise, Caramel Apple, and BOO-Berry.

For an additional $1.49 per sauce, Disneyland’s warm and fresh beignets just became one of our favorite fall treats!

But those sauces aren’t the only new seasonal offerings we tried! Marceline’s Confectionery also came out with their Pumpkin-Spiced Toffee for a limited time!

This is a spooky twist on their classic toffee (another Disneyland must-have snack), topped with pumpkin spice and orange sugar

The Pumpkin-Spiced Toffee is only around through October 31st, so hurry on over to Downtown before it disappears!
Downtown Disney Merchandise Updates
Buckle in…because we have a LOT of new merchandise to cover!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Trading Outpost
We found a collection of new t-shirts, pins, and other collectibles from the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Trading Outpost, which recently took over WonderGround Gallery in Downtown Disney. The first t-shirt we spotted is actually an Annual Passholder-exclusive t-shirt in the style of one of the coasters you receive when visiting Oga’s Cantina. This t-shirt retails for $36.99.

We also spotted everyone’s favorite Madame Leota sipper! These sold like hot cakes in Disney World, and made a surprise appearance at a reserved shopping experience in Downtown Disney. Now she’s available for everyone to purchase! She’s available at World of Disney while supplies last for $17.99.

Finally, we found a few new ceramic Starbucks tumblers to add to your growing collection of Disney mugs and drinkware!

The DCA design even includes Avengers Campus!

Each of the tumblers retails for $24.99. World of Disney is also selling ornament versions of each of the tumblers for $14.99.
Studio 17 Backlot
After we had our fill of World of Disney, we stopped by the new Studio 17 Backlot store, which is located in Studio 17 within the perimeter of Disney California Adventure. This extension of Downtown Disney is currently used for overflow traffic with the merchandise you can find throughout the other shops. So, we didn’t find too many unique merchandise items here! We did, however, see it transform into a Christmas wonderland!

We did spot more of the Madame Leota sippers in stock, as well as the Peppermint Loungefly mini backpacks.

We also found the newest Haunted Mansion Dooney & Bourke collection!

If Sleeping Beauty is more your cup of tea, we also found a couple of tops to add to your wardrobe! This Maleficent tank made us scratch our heads (It’s “Now you shall deal with me,” right? Not “Now shall you deal with me”?). The tank top is currently available at the Dress Shop for $34.99.

While we can’t celebrate holidays like Halloween in Disneyland, we can at the very least commemorate our favorite days of the year with limited edition pins!
WHEW! That was a mighty full roundup of new merchandise, food, and more at Downtown Disney! With the holiday season just days from kicking off, there are plenty of new things to see and do at Disneyland’s shopping and dining district. And with Buena Vista Street preparing to reopen for guests, soon there will be even MORE to do! So be sure to check back as we continue to report on all the magic happening on the west coast!
