Coming this fall, the Kawaii Slime Cart will bring a whole new level of fun to Downtown Disney. “Kawaii” means cute in Japanese, and this mom-owned business delivers exactly that. The cart will feature an array of slimes in different textures, colors, scents, and glittery mix-ins. It’s perfect for kids and kids at heart who love to stretch, squeeze, and play!
New Dining Concepts from Michelin-Starred Chef Joe Isidori
Downtown Disney is about to get a serious upgrade in the dining department with two new restaurant concepts from Michelin-starred Chef Joe Isidori. Located on the site of the former Tortilla Jo’s, these eateries will bring a taste of luxury and comfort:
- Steakhouse: This full-service restaurant will offer a sophisticated atmosphere with a menu focused on prime cuts of beef, fresh seafood, and innovative cocktails. It’s perfect for a special night out.
- Barbecue Spot: This quick-service spot will specialize in traditional BBQ favorites like pulled pork, beef brisket, and smoked wings. A prominent outdoor bar will feature a selection of craft beers and moonshine cocktails, making it a great place to unwind.
The Carnaby Tavern: A Nod to the Swinging ‘60s
Fans of Earl of Sandwich will be thrilled to hear about The Carnaby Tavern, a new table service concept coming to the second floor above the Earl of Sandwich. This restaurant is inspired by the swinging ‘60s and British Invasion pop and rock bands. With a patio and an indoor/outdoor full-service bar, it’s set to become a lively new addition to the dining scene.
For now, Earl of Sandwich enthusiasts can continue to enjoy their favorites at the current location on the east side of Downtown Disney or the new pop-up pod near Star Wars Trading Post.
