== History ==
When it first opened, a Monorail station was introduced, connecting Disneyland to Downtown Disney.
As of 2017, Downtown Disney featured more than 30 stores, in fact they were planning on a major expansion that would affect the district. In 2017, Disney was planning to add a 4th hotel, but was eventually cancelled due to a small budget. In summer of 2018, major stores including an AMC Theater, ESPN Zone, Rainforest Café and Starbucks closed for the expansion. Once it was postponed, both Starbucks and Earl of Sandwich reopened.
In 2019, bridges from the Mickey and Friends and Pixar Pals parking structure would connect to Downtown Disney.
Due to Covid-19, Disneyland, California Adventure, and Downtown Disney all closed on March 14th, 2020. Downtown Disney would open back up sooner than the parks as it opened back up on July 9th, 2020, enforcing everyone to wear masks and lowering the capacity. On November 19th, 2020, Buena Vista Street was opened and was identified as Downtown Disney up until March 14th, 2021. On June 15th, all safety measures were dropped.
During November 2021, Disney announced that major renovations would be done on the west side of the District, introducing more stores, restaurants, and entertainment. Construction began in January 2022, causing the AMC Theater, Starbucks, and Earl of Sandwich to be demolished. Din Tai Fung was announced to be the anchor of this expansion on April 27th, 2022. Porto's Bakery is announced to open in 2025.
