ANAHEIM, Calif. – San Fransokyo Square opens Aug. 31, 2023, at Disneyland Resort – featuring sights, shopping and splendid cuisine from the industrious city in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Academy Award®-winning film “Big Hero 6.” 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 – where they’ll have the opportunity to meet boy genius Hiro Hamada and his huggable healthcare companion robot, Baymax.
The most iconic landmark of the area is the 54-foot-tall San Fransokyo Gate Bridge, which spans the tide pools linking the seaside plaza to the Paradise Gardens Park obelisk.
