Lululemon has officially opened a new retail location in Downtown Disney, just in time for the holiday shopping rush. The store, which opened on December 19, 2023, is situated in the former ESPN Zone at the outdoor shopping area adjacent to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. This early launch precedes the brand’s planned debut in 2026.
Shoppers visiting the new Lululemon store can find a variety of athletic wear, including leggings and accessories, ideal for both park visits and holiday gifting. This opening is particularly timely as visitors look for last-minute gifts during the festive season.
Expansion in Downtown Disney
According to Disneyland officials, the former ESPN Zone has undergone significant renovations, which included plans to create three distinct retail spaces—two on the ground floor and one on the upper level. The addition of Lululemon is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the shopping experience in the area. Another retail tenant is expected to be announced soon, as reported by Theme Park IQ.
This partnership between Disney and Lululemon has also seen success in the past, with the two companies launching a limited-edition collection featuring Mickey Mouse and Minne Mouse graphics on Lululemon’s popular athletic apparel. This collaboration highlights the growing intersection of fashion and fandom, appealing to a diverse range of consumers.
Store Hours and Future Developments
The Downtown Disney Lululemon store operates daily, welcoming guests from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, and from 9 a.m. to midnight on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This schedule provides ample opportunity for visitors to explore the new location during both daytime and evening hours.
In addition to Lululemon, other developments in Downtown Disney include the anticipated opening of Porto’s Bakery, which is currently under construction. These changes reflect Disney’s commitment to enhancing the visitor experience, keeping the area vibrant and engaging for guests.
As Downtown Disney continues to evolve, the introduction of popular brands like Lululemon reinforces its status as a prime shopping destination for both locals and tourists. The strategic location next to two of the most famous theme parks in the world ensures that foot traffic remains high, especially during peak seasons like the holidays.
