Another Round of Updates About New Shops and Restaurants Coming to the Downtown Disney District

Get ready for more dining, more shopping and just all-together more to do at the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort. The district is growing by leaps and bounds and this week, more locations were announced. Here’s what’s new:

lululemon at the Downtown Disney District

Downtown Disney will welcome a new lululemon store that will feature athletic apparel, footwear and accessories for yoga, running, training, and activities such as golf, tennis and more. This new location will offer guests their next favorite items. These will include things such as bags, gloves, hats, scarves, water bottles, yoga blocks and mats. The shop will be located in an area of the former ESPN Zone building.

Nectar Life

Nectar Life will be bringing a luxurious collection of handcrafted bath products. This shop features beauty essentials and bakery-inspired bath treats are handmade using only the finest vegan, natural and plant-based ingredients. Beautifully designed and deliciously scented, popular items include moisturizing whipped soaps, body scrubs, exfoliating hand wash and gift sets.  

This new Downtown Disney location will feature a custom blending bar to create a personal fragrance for tailor-made products like moisturizing shea body butters and fragrance roll-ons.

Downtown Disney will also be Nectar Life’s first location with a customization bar. Here visitors can create their own milkshake bath soaks and nourishing whipped soap. At the shop’s Soap Mini Bar, guests can self-dispense their own blend of soap minis in a variety of shapes and scents!

A pop-up location will be showing up later this spring, prior to the store opening later this year near Avengers Reserve.

Bopo Go! Boba Drinks

Bopo Go! is a new café concept being planned for Downtown Disney! Brought to life by Eric Wang and Philip Wang, co-owners of Bopomofo Café, the new Bopo Go! will serve authentic boba/bubble tea using only real fruits, vegetables, lactose-free milk, oat milk, cane or brown sugar and no artificial ingredients. Bopo Go! is inspired by convenience stores in Asia with other signature beverages, light bites, imported snacks and candies.

Inside Arthur & Sons and Pearl’s Roadside BBQ at the Downtown Disney District

It was recently shared that two new dining spots are in the works for Downtown Disney from Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori: Arthur & Sons Steak and Bourbon and Pearl’s Roadside BBQ. Here is a first look at design plans for the interior spaces!

Arthur & Sons steakhouse will serve premium cuts of beef, fresh seafood, sandwiches and salads. There will also be an impressive selection of bourbon and cocktails. The restaurant will feature rich wood tones and will be a comfortable and sophisticated space. It will include a prominent bar, an array of plush booths, warm table seating throughout and private dining. 

Nearby, Pearl’s Roadside BBQ will be a quick service eatery blending modern barbecue with traditional North Carolina cookouts. The menu will feature pulled pork, beef brisket and smoked heritage turkey. There will also be house-made sauces, along with craft beers and moonshine cocktails.

The inside be themed around a vintage filling station renovated to become a BBQ joint. Inside the restaurant, a hand-painted mural will set the scene. The spacious patio and Shine Bar will have views of the Downtown Disney promenade.
