food IS a theme park
The situation with eating and drinking in Disney World has been kind of complex.
Buena Vista Street
Until today, Southern California has been under a stay-at-home order for more than a month. During the order, all on-location dining was prohibited in Downtown Disney. Now, the stay-at-home order has been lifted, so we’re checking in on the current dining policy at Disneyland Resort.
While Southern California has been under a stay-at-home order for the last four weeks, restaurants are allowed to stay open for takeout and delivery. In Downtown Disney, select dining locations have remained open for takeout while guests can also shop at a reduced capacity.

However, we learned today that one of those dining locations in Downtown Disney that was previously open is currently closed.
Last month, Southern California entered a new regional stay-at-home order which mandated the closure of seated dining, allowing only takeout or delivery options. For the Disneyland Resort, this meant the closure of all of their dining locations in Downtown Disney as well as Buena Vista Street. Not only that, but Disney doubled down and have temporarily banned all eating and drinking on property.

Prior to this new mandate, you could remove your face mask to eat and drink so long as you were stationary and socially distanced, much like the current policy in Disney World. But with no eating or drinking allowed at all, what does it look like to actually purchase food in Disneyland right now?
