food IS a theme park
Welcome back! We’re here with another What’s New at Downtown Disney!
Downtown Disney
It’s been a busy week so we’ve got plenty of dining, construction, and merchandise updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
Back in December, restaurants in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District faced another round temporary closures due to a regional Stay-At-Home order mandated by the California Governor. And, it wasn’t until recently that California lifted the order, meaning that outdoor dining can return to the state.

This means that active eating and drinking are allowed again at Downtown Disney as long as guests are stationary and physically distanced. In response, we’re now starting to see restaurants announcing their reopening dates. And, today three joined the list and are set to open at the end of the month!
Disneyland might not be open yet (and we miss it dearly), but Downtown Disney has still been one of our favorite date night or family getaway spots recently. As restaurants have continued to open in the shopping and dining district, table-service locations have been modifying their experiences with limited capacity, seating, and menus. BUT, they’re just as great as we remember them to be!
Downtown Disney District
Downtown Disney dining has been exclusively offering outdoor seating for guests to relax and enjoy their meals in the nice California weather. For a while, select restaurants started to reintroduce indoor dining again (with limited capacity) once California law permitted it, but they’ve since been pushed back to only outdoor dining, as the county Disneyland resides in has moved to the strictest tier of the state’s Coronavirus protocols.

If one thing is certain, it’s that we miss Disneyland!

Luckily, Downtown Disney at Disneyland reopened on July 9th, so we can still shop and dine at some of our California favs like Salt & Straw or Black Tap! While some establishments remain closed, an absolute gem has reopened today!

Today has been quite the time for discovery in the shopping and dining district with the reopening of Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen and the arrival of the new Together Again Masks! But, we’ve also got some GREAT news for all the coffee lovers out there, just in time for Pumpkin Spice season around the corner!
After months of closures, Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort reopened a few weeks ago!
We’ve been scouting out all the new merch, shops, and reopened dining. Some new things popped up this week and we’re here to share it with all of you! [Read more…]
We took a trip to Downtown Disney in Anaheim today! We had to get back and see what was new since its grand reopening a few days ago.

The reopening of Disneyland has been rocky.
Downtown Disney’s World of Disney
The reopening date for the parks and resorts was announced, only to be delayed. Now, it’s been reported that Downtown Disney may be opening as planned (with a few changes!) on July 9th despite the suspension of indoor operations for several sectors in California counties.
Downtown Disney is scheduled to reopen on July 9th.
