In 2017, Disney and Pixar released their newest animated film, Big Hero 6. The movie tells the story of Hiro, a teenage boy who must work with his brother’s friends to help save the city of San Fransokyo from a man in a Kabuki mask. Helping Hiro along the journey is Baymax, a personal healthcare companion, who Hiro inherited after his older brother’s untimely and tragic death. People loved the story so much that Disney even released a number of series, including Big Hero 6: The Series, Baymax Dreams Shorts, Big Hero 6 Shorts, and its newest Disney+ series, Baymax!.

Despite the movie’s success, Big Hero 6 has never had much of a presence in Disney Parks. But that is changing in a big way. During the 2022 D23 Expo, Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro revealed that the Pacific Wharf area in Disney California Adventure Park at Disneyland Resort would be transformed into San Fransokyo. Several months after the announcement was made, Disney construction crews began their work on the transformation.
The new San Fransokyo area will feature a number of new dining spots with incredible food offerings. Some of those restaurants will be open for business before San Fransokyo Square officially opens on August 31. One of those dining spots is now open and ready to serve Guests!

More on San Fransokyo Square
What’s great about the former Pacific Wharf area of Disney California Adventure is that it was the perfect place to put San Fransokyo Square. The area was originally themed to look like the wharf area of San Fransokyo. So, Disney is giving it a Japanese twist. A number of the restaurants will be getting menu upgrades, and there will also be new restaurants coming in, like Aunt Cass Café.

One of the most exciting additions to the area is a Baymax and Hiro meet and greet!
