Travelers planning a visit to the Disneyland Resort will soon be able to enjoy overhauled and added options when stopping in the Downtown Disney District.

As part of Downtown Disney District’s west-end expansion, the California theme park unveiled renderings for the new Parkside Market, a collection of four diverse culinary concepts from Levy Restaurants, all under one roof.

Parkside Market will feature Korean-themed Seoul Sister, Caribbean-inspired Sip & Sonder, GG’s Chicken Shop and a second-story bar with great views of the district. The area will also become the home of an all-new, two-story Earl of Sandwich location.

Before the new Earl of Sandwich opens, though, Disneyland has unveiled a temporary pop-up location coming soon near Star Wars Trading Post that will feature popular sandwiches, such as The Original 1762, The Full Montagu and the Holiday Turkey.

In addition to the new Paseo and Céntrico locations coming to the district later this spring, Disneyland announced a new restaurant, dubbed Tiendita. The location will offer Chef Gaytán’s Mexican heritage flavors on-the-go, with quick-service Mexican street-food staples.

At the Downtown Disney LIVE! stage and lawn, travelers can dance and sing along to various genres of music, including Motown, rock, jazz, pop, and reggae. The theme park offers an entertainment schedule for seasonal and specialty performances throughout the year.

Currently, the Downtown Disney District offers unique restaurants, snack stops, boutiques and entertainment venues, including Splitsville Luxury Lanes, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, Ballast Point Brewing Co., Naples Ristorante e Bar, Wetzel’s Pretzel, PANDORA Jewelry, Lovepop, California Sole and World of Disney.
