NEWS: The Backlot Premiere Shop IN Disney California Adventure Is OPEN to Downtown Disney Guests!

Even though the Disneyland Resort parks remain closed, you can actually head into Disney California Adventure today — at least, kind of.

Just yesterday, Disney announced that they would be opening the Disneyland Backlot Premiere Shop INSIDE of Disney California Adventure and now you can head to the new location. You won’t be strolling through the park to get there, but you might be picking up some new merch!

According to the Orange County Register, the Disneyland Backlot Premiere Shop is now open inside the Stage 17 building in DCA. Downtown Disney guests can access the shop through a backstage entrance near the east side of the esplanade between Disneyland and DCA.

The shop features much of the same merchandise that is currently available at World of Disney including Halloween clothing, accessories, novelties, and home decor. You might spot Minnie Mouse ears, backpacks plush dolls, mugs, trading pins, necklaces, and MORE!

The goal of the shop is to help alleviate some of the crowds that we’ve seen descend on World of Disney and Downtown Disney as a whole. It’s not uncommon for Downtown Disney to reach capacity right at opening on the weekends right now. This new space will help to split shoppers up into different locations.

As a note, it seems like the location will remain open as a merchandise store for some time! The Orange Country Register notes that we can “Expect Christmas holiday merchandise to take over the Studio 17 space once the Halloween season comes to an end.”

We’ll be headed to the Backlot Premiere Store to take a look soon so stay tuned for pictures and all the updates!
