food IS a theme park
The Disneyland Resort theme parks have been closed for several months now.
Disney California Adventure Park
Although the California government’s theme park reopening guidelines were set to be issued last week, they were later postponed following pushback from several sources.
While we wait for the Disneyland Resort to announce reopening plans for their theme parks and hotels, fans have been able to get their shopping and dining fix at Downtown Disney. As the only facet of Disneyland currently open, folks have certainly been enjoying a little dose of the Disney magic!
Disney California Adventure
Starting soon, guests will have more ways to shop popular seasonal merchandise items, and you won’t believe WHERE in the Disneyland Resort the shop is located!
While Disneyland Resort faces an extended closure, we often pop into Downtown Disney to see if we can spot any new merch and dining updates.
Disneyland Gate
While visiting, we’ll stop by Disneyland’s entrance gates to see if there are any signs of life on the other side. We’ve spotted new physical distancing markers and even a potential new walkway. On our recent visit, we stopped by the gates of Disneyland to see what else is new!
Although we’ve seen some changes in and around the Disneyland Resort theme parks that show Disney is getting ready for when Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure can reopen to the public, no official reopening date has been set yet.
Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers
A trade association representing Disneyland and others and a new commercial created by a separate group have called on Governor Newsom to open up the theme parks. Now, some of California’s state legislators are joining in too.
We’ve got our Retro Disneyland Ears, Disneyland tumbler, and we’re ready to go to the happiest place on earth. There’s just one problem…it’s closed.
Retro Disneyland Ears
Disneyland closed about 6 months ago. Downtown Disney has reopened but Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park remain closed. While an initial reopening date for the parks was set, it was thereafter delayed, and a new reopening date has yet to be announced. But, Disney officials and others are working hard to push California’s governor to reopen the theme parks.
It may be hard to believe, but Disneyland has officially been closed for six months.

And while Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, has reopened and other Disney resorts around the world have reopened (or plan to reopen!), Disneyland still has no official reopening plan or date.
Disneyland remains closed, but that doesn’t mean we can’t head to Downtown Disney!
Downtown Disney District
We’re in Disneyland’s shopping and dining district to check out EVERYTHING new. So, without further ado, let’s dive into all the fresh news of construction and merchandise in Downtown Disney!
Even though we still don’t know the exact date Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will reopen, we’re starting to see more signs that the parks are getting ready to welcome guests as soon as they are able to!
Disney California Adventure Park
Just last week, we spotted some new park reservation signs and a potential walkway at Disneyland Resort, and we’ve seen some health and safety signs outside of the parks as well. Today, we spotted even more additions that show we’re one step closer to Disneyland reopening.
It’s been several months since we’ve been able to step beyond those gates and into Disneyland Park to enjoy the sights, sounds, and magic of the happiest place on earth. And, we’ll just say, we’re in serious need of some snacks from Bengal Barbecue!
Disneyland Gate
Although we’re still waiting for an announcement of a new reopening date for Disneyland Resort, we’ve got updates now about some of the changes we can expect to see in the Anaheim theme parks when guests can finally enjoy them again.
It’s been over six months since Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure closed due to the global health crisis.

But fortunately, those who on the West Coast who need to get a lil’ Disney fix (uh, us!) can head to Downtown Disney, the resort’s shopping and dining district.
