food IS a theme park
Welcome back! We’re here with another What’s New at Downtown Disney!
Downtown Disney
It’s been a busy week so we’ve got plenty of dining, construction, and merchandise updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
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!
To Star Wars fans located in Southern California, we’ve got some exciting news for you!
Star Wars Trading Post
The Star Wars Trading Post that just opened up this past September at Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort is getting a brand new location! Plus, it’ll continue offering exclusive merchandise from Galaxy’s Edge.
Star Wars fans, we’ve got GOOD news (but prepare your wallets).

Recently, Disney introduced Star Wars Trading Post, an offering in Downtown Disney, Disney Springs, and online that lets folks buy Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise OUTSIDE of the parks. Now, another round of merch is coming to the Trading Posts!
If you’re a fan of Star Wars TV shows, then you know that Ahsoka Tano has some of the coolest lightsabers out there!

First of all, she wields TWO lightsabers instead of just one (known as Jar’Kai in the Star Wars universe), and it’s not a skill that we often see utilized. On top of that, her lightsaber color changes multiple times as a character, going from blue to green to white. Disney’s definitely capitalized on this, selling both color-changing Ahsoka lightsabers, and the white versions! You can even get her lightsabers outside of the Disney parks, and today there are a limited number of sabers autographed by Ahsoka Tano herself!
While some of us may have a pretty expansive collection of Minnie Ears, Star Wars fans might have a growing stock of lightsabers for BOTH the Light and the Dark Sides.
Lightsabers!
Although you can head to places like Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to build your own, custom lightsaber, other places in Batuu like Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities feature pre-made Legacy Lightsabers instead. These non-customizable lightsabers allow guests to become one with the Force carrying around the sabers of heroes and villains like Kylo Ren, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu and more!
Hello, everyone! We’ve been walking around Disney Springs to see if anything new has popped up since our last visit.

Star Wars fans! You no longer have to enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios to snag some Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merch.
Star Wars Trading Post
Last week, a new Star Wars gift shop overtook WonderGround Gallery in Disneyland Resort. The new store is selling lightsabers, droids, and other souvenirs you can find inside Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. Now, Walt Disney World is joining in on the galactic fun! Disney Springs is hosting a Passholder preview of the Galaxy’s Edge merch available at Star Wars Trading Post. We popped in to see what kind of space goodies we could find!
Hello, DFB Friends! We’re back with loads more coverage from your favorite non-park Disney fix — Disney Springs!

We’ve found loads of new stuff, so let’s get started, shall we?
It’s been over six months since Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure closed due to the global health crisis.
