There is a LOT to look forward to in 2021 at Disney World and Disney parks across the globe!
Magic Kingdom
From immersive new worlds to larger-than-life rides, the company is going ALL OUT for Disney World’s 50th anniversary! And now they’ve officially confirmed 2021 arrivals for some MAJOR projects, while curiously omitting a few others!
Disneyland has remained closed since March of this year, and it isn’t expected to reopen soon.
Buena Vista Street
With strict theme park guidelines from the California government and limited ICU availability in the state, Disneyland has been forced to keep its doors closed for months now. Midway through this closure, the resort got a new President. Take a look at his comments on taking up the mantle in one of the most challenging periods in Disneyland’s history.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has implemented a system where “Stay-at-Home” orders are put in place in regions within the state once that particular area falls below 15% ICU capacity.
Buena Vista Street
Earlier this month, some regions, including Southern California — where Disneyland Resort is located — fell below this capacity level, triggering the stay-at-home order to be implemented in that region. The stay-at-home order is then set in place for a minimum of three weeks, at which point the situation can then be reevaluated. The order was set to expire in Southern California on December 28th, but as California’s ICU capacity continues to fall, Governor Newsom has announced that the stay-at-home order will remain in place in Southern California.
Earlier this month, a stay-at-home order was issued for Southern California, including Orange County and Anaheim.
Carthay Circle at California Adventure
The order went into effect when ICU capacity in the region dipped below 15%, which triggered the order via a mandate by the state of California.
We’re back at Downtown Disney and Buena Vista Street giving you all the updates.
California Mandate Sign
We headed to the Disneyland Resort area to see what’s open under the new California mandate and check out the open gift shops. Here’s everything we found while exploring the area.
Although most of Disneyland Resort remains closed, there are some parts of the resort that have reopened.
Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney reopened this past summer, and Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure recently reopened with limited shopping and dining.
The ho-ho-holidays have arrived at Disneyland Resort! Though the theme parks remain closed, so there’s no Haunted Mansion Holiday or Christmas parade, Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure is open for select shopping and dining!
Disney California Adventure Park
And today, while strolling around, we spotted one of our FAVORITE holiday sippers of the season!
There’s another store open in Disney California Adventure!
Disney California Adventure Park
Buena Vista Street has been open as an extension of Downtown Disney for a few weeks now and we’re still enjoying our time back in the theme park — even if there aren’t any rides. Today, another store reopened and we’re stepping inside!
We love so many things about the Disney parks — but one thing we REALLY love is a good Speciality Popcorn Bucket!
