When Buena Vista Street opens on June 15, Disney California Adventure will have a new confectionery store Trolley Treats, that will feature an incredible window display of a mountain made entirely of rock candy.
The window display is a tribute to Rock Candy Mountain, which was originally envisioned for Disneyland park as part of the Storybook Land Canal Boats. The Casey Jr. Circus Train would have traveled around it. It was Imagineer and Disney Legend Claude Coats who worked on concept art for the mountain back in 1957, and while the project was never built, the idea will live on in the Trolley Treats model in the front window of the candy shop.
This candy shop will be similar to the one on Main Street at Disneyland because it will also feature an open kitchen where you can watch the candy being made in front of you. The shop’s items will range from gourmet marshmallows and hand-pulled taffy to caramel apples, dipped strawberries, toffee, fudge and other seasonal favorites.
Trolley Treats will be one of many new shops opening on June 15. In addition to the new Starbucks location, there will be Kingswell Camera Shop (for photo supplies and to purchase your photos with the characters), Julius Katz & Sons (gadgets and decor galore), as well as Atwater Ink and Paint. The new Buena Vista Street opens June 15.
