Downtown Disney Closes Esplanade Path for Porto’s Construction, Redirects Guests to Tram Route
Disney has not announced when Porto’s will open at the former La Brea Bakery site.
Overview
- New construction fencing around the future Porto’s Bakery now blocks the walkway linking the Disneyland esplanade to Downtown Disney.
- Guests are being detoured along the tram loading route as a temporary pedestrian path during the work.
- On-site reports note evening congestion on the detour, with bottlenecks after Disneyland’s fireworks.
- Active construction followed the November closure of the temporary Earl of Sandwich that had occupied the site.
- Disney has not provided a timeline for restoring the closed pathway or for Porto’s opening date.
