Parkside Market officially opened on January 4th. The new location looks great and features a variety of food and beverage options. If guests go upstairs, they can order from all three locations with the server rather than buy individual items from each with separate transactions. The location also has stunning views of Downtown Disney and the monorail from the second floor. – https://www.micechat.com/344054-disneyland-news-downtown-disney-expansion/
