It's become common over the past several months for Disney to announce new additions coming to Downtown Disney district. Ultimately the area is being renovated to update the look and feel of the promenade and prepare for the addition of the new eastern gateway project. Including some new announcements today, here is what has and will be changing in Downtown Disney in 2018 alone.

Downtown Disney is changing fast through 2018 and now the largest retail store in the Disneyland Resort, World of Disney, will become part of that change. Little has changed in the store since it first opened in 2000 but this reimagining will impact guests throughout most of the year. Be aware of what's happening so you won't be surprised when you visit.

The holiday season is going strong and is only going to get bigger as December rolls out in Downtown Disney. Decorations are everywhere, festive souvenirs line every window, new entertainment is springing up and soon even more magic will be available at select restaurants and retail spots throughout the shopping district. They will only be available for a limited time so if your travels take you to California at the right time make sure you don't miss them!

Next year is going to be quite an exciting year for the Downtown Disney district at the Disneyland Resort. Since late 2016 Disney has slowly announced a slew of new dining and entertainment venues coming to the often neglected shopping area and most will be finished by summer 2018! In case you missed some of these announcements, here's a recap so you have reason to get a little excited for new night life!

If you're staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel this Easter season then there's more magic coming your way for the holiday than normal.  There are plenty of activities, food and fun for everyone in the family to have a memorable Easter during your stay at the Happiest Place on Earth!  Obviously, though, there's still the Egg-stravaganza inside the parks.

It's the nicest and priciest hotel option at the Disneyland Resort and it's finally getting an update!  The Grand Californian Hotel & Spa has been amazing guests with its beauty and charm since it opened in 2001 and soon nearly the entire hotel will get a fresh new look to bring it more into the 21st century while sticking with its Arts & Crafts roots.  Curious to see what will happen?
