Downtown Disney Jamba closing after 23 years

Jamba will close its Downtown Disney District location on July 6, ending a 23-year run at Disneyland Resort’s shopping and dining district. (ocregister.com) The smoothie chain has operated in Downtown Disney since 2003, making it one of the district’s oldest remaining food tenants. The replacement will be Bopo Go!, a bubble-tea cafe Disney announced for Downtown Disney in April 2025. (ocregister.com) (disneyparksblog.com) Bopo Go! is being developed by Eric Wang and Philip Wang, the co-owners of Southern California’s Bopomofo Cafe. Disney said the concept was created expressly for Downtown Disney and will draw inspiration from convenience stores in Asia. (disneyparksblog.com) Disney said Bopo Go! plans to serve bubble tea made with real fruits and vegetables, lactose-free milk, oat milk, cane or brown sugar, and no artificial ingredients. The menu is also expected to include light bites, imported snacks, candies, Taiwanese tea, and matcha from Japan. (disneyparksblog.com) The change lands in the middle of a larger remake of Downtown Disney, where Disney has been rotating in new shops and restaurants as construction and leasing plans reshape the district. Disney separately announced new tenants including lululemon and Nectar Life alongside Bopo Go! in 2025. (disneyparksblog.com) The Jamba closure also removes a brand that predates many of Downtown Disney’s recent overhauls. Downtown Disney opened in 2001, and Jamba arrived about two years later, outlasting multiple waves of tenant turnover. (ocregister.com) For visitors, the immediate timeline is simple: Jamba stays open through early summer, then closes July 6. After that, the former smoothie stand is set to become Bopo Go!’s new home.
