San Fransokyo Square opens at Disney California Adventure Park
Disney is celebrating the opening of the brand-new San Fransokyo Square at Disney California Adventure Park on Thursday.
Inspired by the Academy Award-winning film “Big Hero 6,” the square features shopping, splendid cuisine and beautiful sights, a Disneyland Resort news release stated.
“This reimagined area of Disney California Adventure Park transports guests to the not-too-distant future, in a fictional mash-up of two iconic cities – San Francisco and Tokyo,” the Disneyland News website reads. The area was previously the Pacific Wharf area of the park.
“San Fransokyo Square is a seaside district outside of the urban center in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ film ‘Big Hero 6.’ Here, guests will discover nods to the Big Hero 6 team’s many adventures, such as Hiro’s Megabot and Baymax’s battle glove,” Michael Dobrzycki, art director at Walt Disney Imagineering Anaheim, said in a statement released by Disneyland Resort.
