San Fransokyo is taking shape at Disneyland, and we're getting a better idea of what to expect from the new area inspired by "Big Hero 6," the Oscar-winning animated film and Disney+ series.

"San Fransokyo Square will transport you to the not-too-distant future, in a fictional mash-up of two iconic cities – San Francisco and Tokyo," Disneyland Public Relations Director Kelsey Lynch posted on the Disney Parks Blog. "As the tech industry began to emerge and the local fishing trade fell on hard times, entrepreneurs came together to reinvent the seaside canneries into a vibrant, multicultural district of neighborhood restaurants and small businesses where you’ll be able to eat and shop."

The new area will open this summer amid the resort's Disney100 celebration, Disney announced Monday, and replace Disney California Adventure's Pacific Wharf area, as first revealed at last year's D23 Expo.

Will I still be able to get bread bowls?

Sourdough bread bowls are a staple of Pacific Wharf, and they aren't going anywhere. The Bakery Tour, hosted by Boudin Bakery is still open, and all Pacific Wharf eateries will remain open throughout the transformation.

"When the transformation to San Fransokyo Square is completed this summer, you’ll find familiar favorites like soups in freshly baked bread bowls, as well as many new Asian-inspired selections," Lynch wrote.

A "fun and inviting beer garden" is also planned for the area.

The new Port of San Fransokyo Cervecería will have signage in English, Japanese and Spanish, reflecting its multicultural inspiration.
