On the morning of December 8, Disney & Porto's released concept art and announced the start of construction of the upcoming Porto’s location in Downtown Disney at the former La Brea Bakery. The future Porto’s location will have a counter service cafe & bakery that are at all locations, and a sit down restaurant will be unique to this location.

How is the construction starting? At the end of the day of December 8, 2025 the construction fences around the two ticket booths have been fenced up that will be the eastern end of the Porto’s footprint, with a rough approximation of 32,000 sq ft. The location closed for La Brea in 2023, and then Earl of Sandwich took over thereafter until November 9, 2025.

Porto’s opening date is to be announced.
