Downtown Disney and How Disney Is Opening Parts of the Theme Parks (S2 Ep8)


Listen Later

The Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort is open to guests. The only part of the resort currently open, many wonder if it is worth a visit. Plus, how the district is expanding to include the parks.

From eating insects in ice cream, to shopping for Disney merchandise, Downtown Disney district has become a popular spot for Disney fans while waiting for the Disneyland theme parks to be allowed to reopen. 

Downtown Disney Fall and Winter 2020

In this episode of the podcast we are talking about what you can find at Downtown Disney, recent and coming expansions, and spilling some tea on how Disney may have accidentally let us know what they plan to do next.
