Disney also shared that Din Tai Fung will open this summer and that a new steakhouse restaurant and barbecue eatery are in the works for the district. The steakhouse restaurant and barbecue eatery will be where Tortilla Jo’s once stood.

The Disney Dress Shop will also temporarily relocate to the WonderGround Gallery location during the transformation.
The new additions and announcements come amid an ongoing revamp of the outdoor shopping district.
Last year, 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.
