During this event, there are Disney characters all around, special new music, and even awesome photo ops. But, there’s also FOOD!! Lamplight Lounge has been closed at DCA since last year…until NOW. We had QUITE the interesting time getting a reservation for this spot, but now we finally got the chance to step inside! Want to take a look at this beautiful restaurant with us? Of course you do! Let’s go!!
We’ve been anxiously awaiting more details about the upcoming special ticketed event at Disney California Adventure!

And we now know that a highly anticipated location is reopening as well.

And it was just revealed that it will also be the opening day for the new Lamplight Lounge!
Disney California Adventure has removed the Donald Duck meet and greet gazebo on Paradise Pier for a very good reason; Cove Bar expansion! The new seating is adjacent to the existing bar. (If you are a Donald fan, don’t fret… Donald has been moved over to Buena Vista Street and he now has Daisy there as his companion.)
Welcome Back to Cove Bar!
I’m sure your first thought is, “Awesome, more seats, less wait!” But alas, this is far from the truth. I recently when to check out the expansion and some new menu items. It was a Friday just before noon and we still waited 45 minutes for a party of 2. Personally I think the Cove Bar is worth the wait, but I also think that if they filled the whole pier with Cove Bar seating, there would still be a long wait. It’s THAT good. You can see that others agree with me. This is the line we waited in.
