The new Downtown Disney entrance and security checkpoint are located on the west end of the district.

This new entrance reflects the bigger efforts to make Downtown Disney more of a destination at the Disneyland Resort. I like the bold branding here and the mid-century modern style.

See a closer look at the security checkpoint below:

There is also a new mural with an abstract depiction of Downtown Disney that is now visible as well. In the background of the mural, you can see the sculptural tower designed by Nikkolas Smith and some of the new additions coming like Din Tai Fung, Parkside Market, and Porto's.

You can also see a look at the new restrooms in this area with some cute Mickey designs:
