Construction is underway, and Disneyland Resort is about to get a whole lot sweeter! Porto's Bakery, the beloved Cuban-inspired bakery, is coming to Downtown Disney, and the initial construction phase is already in full swing. This means more walls are up, hinting at the exciting transformation happening right now.
Construction Walls: A Sign of Things to Come
Just recently, additional construction walls have been erected at the future site of Porto's Bakery. These walls are not just any walls; they're vibrant, featuring eye-catching panels of red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. They stretch from the existing building, extending into the esplanade, even past the ticket booths, which are slated for demolition. This expansion hints at the grand vision for Porto's, including a spacious two-story patio area, according to the concept art.
But here's where it gets interesting: the original announcement of Porto's Bakery coming to Downtown Disney was made way back in 2022. After a period of quiet, the confirmation came in 2024, with an opening slated for 2025. However, with the construction just beginning, it's increasingly likely the grand opening will be pushed into 2026. This delay might be disappointing for some, but it also builds anticipation for what's to come!
For those unfamiliar, Porto's Bakery is a family success story, started by Rosa Porto in her home. It's now a Southern California institution, with six locations offering a delectable array of Cuban dishes and pastries. Imagine the delicious aromas that will soon fill the air at Disneyland!
And this is the part most people miss... the impact on your Disneyland experience. Will these new walls affect your visit? Will the construction alter your usual route or views?
