At Downtown Disney, new restaurants Paseo, Céntrico and Din Tai Fung are coming to the shopping district and are expected to open in 2024, a news release said.
The entire outdoor shopping district is undergoing renovations as officials continue revamping the location. Initial news of the project was announced at Destination D23, a Disney fan convention, in 2021.
During an OC Forum event in May, Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock said the Downtown Disney transformation would take 18 months to complete. The 18-month timeline means officials hope to complete construction shortly before Thanksgiving next year, the Orange County Register reported.
