2018 Was a Very Good Year at Downtown Disney

What a year! Downtown Disney in Anaheim experianced something of a renaissance this year! In 2018, Downtown Disney evolved and transformed —introducing exciting new venues and unique boutiques, while reimagining marquee dining and retail locations turning it into somethi g that truly stands out and shines! .

Let’s take a look back at the experiences you can now enjoy at Downtown Disney!

Step into the Star Wars universe with the hyper-reality, multi-sensory Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire by ILMxLAB and The VOID. This first-of-its-kind immersive experience transports groups of four to go undercover as stormtroopers to capture Imperial intelligence vital to the budding rebellion’s survival.

Disney Home is one of my favorite new additions! The new store brings fans a carefully curated assortment of Disney-themed home treasures—from glassware, linens and kitchen goods, to great gift ideas and keepsakes you simply have to have.

Splitsville Luxury Lanes is a one-of-a-kind dining and entertainment destination. With 20 bowling lanes throughout, the two-story building features four dining areas, 25 flat screen TVs and an outdoor patio with live entertainment 365 days a year!

The Disney Dress Shop quickly became a fan-favorite boutique with retro-designed apparel and accessories inspired by favorite Disney characters and theme park attractions.

Since completing its year-long renovation, Naples Ristorante e Bar features a spacious outdoor patio and bar, as well as beautiful dining spaces inside. The upstairs dining area includes plush seating and expertly-crafted Italian meals being prepared in the open kitchen.

The family-run scoop shop, Salt & Straw, is known for its taste-provoking, imaginative creations—handmade in small batches using local, organic and sustainable ingredients.

Sprinkled with pixie dust, magical moments and eye-catching collections, the flagship World of Disney store has been reimagined, making shopping easier and more fun.

ILMxLAB’s second immersive experience at The VOID, Ralph Breaks VR, is based on the new Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Ralph Breaks the Internet.”

Napolini offers its new concept of create-your-own Neopolitan-style pizzas, to be enjoyed with a fresh salad and Italian soda on the patio.

Wetzel’s Pretzels’ flagship store features a bright, breezy California-inspired design—complementing its full line of popular pretzels, Wetzel’s Dogs, Bitz, and fresh and frozen lemonade.

What’s your favorite new addition at Downtown Disney? The best news is there is so much more to come! In 2019, we look forward to wBallast Point brewery and Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes to the Downtown Disney District!
