Big Hero 6’s San Fransokyo comes to life at Disneyland

• A Futuristic Fusion of San Francisco and Tokyo Takes Center Stage

Anaheim, California – Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey as the enchanting world of “Big Hero 6” and the Disney+ series “Baymax!” springs to life right before your eyes at Disneyland. The magic unfolds in the form of “San Fransokyo Square,” a dazzling new addition to Disney California Adventure that officially opened its doors this Thursday, delighting fans of all ages. This imaginative transformation marks a groundbreaking moment in theme park history, as it replaces the beloved Pacific Wharf, first revealed to the world at Disney’s D23 Expo last year.

“San Fransokyo Square will transport you to the not-too-distant future, in a fictional mash-up of two iconic cities – San Francisco and Tokyo,” exclaimed Disneyland Public Relations Director Kelsey Lynch in an exclusive post on the Disney Parks Blog earlier this year. “As the tech industry began to emerge and the local fishing trade fell on hard times, entrepreneurs came together to reinvent the seaside canneries into a vibrant, multicultural district of neighborhood restaurants and small businesses where you’ll be able to eat and shop.”

A Meeting with Baymax and Hiro Hamada

One of the most thrilling prospects of this remarkable transformation is the chance to meet Baymax and Hiro Hamada themselves. Head over to the Hamada Bot Shop, a converted warehouse where the ingenious Big Hero 6 team crafts their cutting-edge gear. It’s an experience that will leave you feeling like a true hero!

The Return of Sourdough Bread Bowls

Fans of the iconic sourdough bread bowls need not worry! The Bakery Tour, hosted by the renowned Boudin Bakery, remains a cherished part of this enchanting place. And if you’re craving more culinary delights, don’t miss the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop, Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill, and Lucky Fortune Cookery – all still thriving.

But the excitement doesn’t end there. Now, in addition to the beloved bread bowls, you can savor Japanese-inspired dishes at Aunt Cass Café, a charming eatery opened by Hiro’s beloved aunt. If you’re in the mood for a refreshing beverage, head over to the Port of San Fransokyo Cervecería or drop by the reimagined Rita’s Turbine Blenders.

A Fantastical Fusion

Now, the question that might be on everyone’s mind – is San Fransokyo a real place? Well, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” But there’s a twist – it’s real only at Disneyland. The creators have ingeniously brought this fantastical fusion of San Francisco and Tokyo to life within the enchanting confines of the theme park, offering a one-of-a-kind experience that you won’t find anywhere else.

As you stroll through San Fransokyo Square, you’ll be immersed in the spirit of innovation, adventure, and friendship that “Big Hero 6” embodies. With the intricate details, captivating storylines, and a rich tapestry of cultures woven into every corner, it’s a world that will captivate the hearts of both young and old.
