Lego Store remodel begins in Downtown Disney

The Downtown Disney Lego Store with a fire-breathing Maleficent dragon on the roof will get a new look as construction continues nearby on the Parkside Market, a celebrity chef steakhouse and two new Disney shops on the west side of the Anaheim shopping mall.

The Lego Store in Downtown Disney began work on a refreshed space on Monday, Oct. 7, according to Disneyland officials.

Work will be completed in phases with a reopening of the Lego Store planned for later this fall during construction, according to Disneyland officials.

The Downtown Disney Lego Store will not reopen until November, according to MousePlanet.

The Lego Store remains one of the few original tenants from the 2001 opening of the outdoor shopping mall next to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.

The Lego Store at Downtown Disney underwent a major renovation in 2012 when the fire-breathing Maleficent dragon was added to the rooftop along with other Disney characters from “Toy Story,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin” rendered in larger-than-life scenes built from Lego bricks.

The 2012 remodel also added an upper level to the Lego Store that served as a playroom, event space and meeting room.

The Lego Store is located just on the other side of the Disneyland Monorail track from a large construction zone that will bring the Parkside Market food hall, Avengers Reserve and D-Lander retail shops and Earl of Sandwich rooftop bar to the west side of Downtown Disney.

Disneyland has filed building permits with the city of Anaheim to demolish the nearby Tortilla Jo’s restaurant to make room for a new steakhouse and barbecue joint by Michelin-starred chef Joe Isidori.
