food IS a theme park
You know it’s a good day when you find not one, but TWO new pairs of Minnie ears in a Disney park! Lately, we’ve been in the mood to go shopping. Maybe it’s because the holidays are coming, or maybe it’s because Disney just released a ton of new holiday merchandise!
The Force is calling us… to shop!
Either way, we headed over to the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney, and we were not disappointed by what we found!
It’s an exciting day for Star Wars fans on the West Coast!
After opening in fall 2020 in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney, Star Wars Trading Post closed just a few months later to be relocated. We’ve kept an eye on the construction and eagerly awaited its opening, and now the day is here!
We’re quickly approaching the opening date for the new Star Wars Trading Post location in Downtown Disney. The Star Wars Trading Post will open on February 19th, and guests will be able to explore the hidden Resistance jungle base in a galaxy far, far away.

Unlike Galaxy’s Edge, the jungle base storyline will be placed outside of the limits of the Star Wars timeline, so you’ll be able to buy merchandise from all different Star Wars eras! As Star Wars fans ourselves, we can’t wait to visit this place! The new location of the base is actually the former home of Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. So, how exactly did Disney transform the rainforest into a jungle from another galaxy?
There’s been lots of excitement at Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District recently.

As restaurants gradually reopen, we’ve also seen the transformation of Rainforest Café into what is expected to become the Star Wars Trading Post (which we previewed a while back). And now, we have an official opening date for the new spot!
