Fresh New Disney Retail Experiences
Get ready, Disney fans! Avengers Reserve lands on December 6, 2024, bringing the action-packed world of Marvel heroes right to Downtown Disney. At the entrance, an enormous Hulk is mid-smash, while Spider-Man scales the building above. Inside, the vibe is all about immersive, high-energy details—think industrial decor, special lighting, and authentic film props. This is the go-to spot for Marvel merch, from exclusive collectibles and comics to superhero-inspired clothing and toys for fans of all ages.
Also opening December 6, D-Lander Shop is setting up as the new hotspot for Disney style. It’s got a fresh, light vibe, with pops of color and a lounge area perfect for browsing. The shop will feature beloved brands like Kate Spade, Dooney & Bourke, and Pandora, offering a mix of chic apparel, jewelry, and accessories you won’t want to miss.
And coming this winter, Disney Wonderful World of Sweets is ready to satisfy all sweet tooth cravings.
