food IS a theme park
After being closed for OVER a year, Disney’s California theme parks are FINALLY going to be reopening very soon!
Welcome to the Grand Californian!
And soon one of the Disneyland Resort hotels — Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa — will be reopening to guests as well!
While Disneyland Resort remains closed, we’re starting to see some reopening progress.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
Both Downtown Disney and Lake Buena Vista Street are open to guests for shopping and dining. And now, a hotel is planning to reopen, too!
We just spent a lovely day traveling around Disney World’s Magic Kingdom resorts!
Grand Floridian
And we’ve got a ton of updates, so grab a cup of coffee or tea, curl up in your favorite chair, and let’s get started!
We’ve been so busy trying out all the Valentine’s Day treats at Disney World!
Liberty Tree Tavern
But while we were eating loads of cupcakes, chocolates, and brownies, we were also tracking all the latest menu updates at Disney World! Because that’s what we do!
Last month, it was announced that the Villas at the Grand Californian Hotel in Disneyland Resort were set to reopen on December 6th.
Disneyland’s Grand Californian Prior to the Closure
During the initial plans for reopening, Disney Vacation Club Members were to be able to book stays in the Villas, while the other areas of the hotel were set to remain closed.
Although Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park must remain closed under California’s current theme park reopening guidelines, several changes are coming to Disneyland Resort very soon!
The Disneyland Hotel
The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will be reopening soon for Disney Vacation Club Members and Buena Vista Street at California Adventure Park is set to open for limited dining and shopping later this month. Now, we’ve got another update related to reservations at Disneyland Resort hotels.
The Disneyland Resort theme parks are still unable to reopen at the moment, but Downtown Disney is soon set to expand into Buena Visa Street in Disney’s California Adventure Park and the Disney Backlot Premiere Store (technically located within California Adventure) also recently reopened.
Red Car Trolley
But, now we’ve got even BIGGER news! If you’re a hoping to visit Disneyland Resort at some point in the future for some shopping and dining and want to stay at one of its resort hotels — you will soon be able to!
With the release of California’s theme park guidelines, Disneyland parks might not be able to open for a while.
Disneyland Resort
For most of the park closure, Disneyland has been canceling guests’ resort hotel reservations as the weeks go on. Recently, cancellations stretched through November 14th, and now there’s another round of cancel;ation notices.
Many areas of Disneyland Resort remain closed with the exception of Downtown Disney.
The Disneyland Hotel
Disney continues to change the dates for when guests can book hotel reservations at Disneyland, and now we’ve received confirmation that reservations are cancelled through mid-November.
Although Downtown Disney has reopened, the rest of Disneyland Resort remains closed, and could stay that way for some time.
The Disneyland Hotel
Previously, Disneyland Resort hotels were only accepting reservations starting on November 1st, but it seems that this date has changed again.
