Disneyland Resort reopened a small portion of Disney California Adventure Park for shopping and dining.
Carthay Circle
Buena Vista Street welcomed guests last week with modified gift shops and outdoor dining options. The Carthay Circle Lounge was adjusted to fit the California health mandates that require restaurants to seat diners outdoors. The lounge is now serving guests on a new make-shift patio. Upon opening, the lounge was only taking walk-up reservations for guests visiting Buena Vista Street…until now!
Aside from shopping at the Disneyland Backlot Premiere Shop, we haven’t stepped foot INSIDE a Disneyland Resort theme park since March!
Disney California Adventure Park
But that is all about to change TODAY! It may not be the same as running through the park and riding Radiator Springs Racers or the Incredicoaster, but today we’re going to have the chance to walk down Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure for some shopping and dining and we could practically cry of excitement (tears may or may not have already been shed). Come along with us and take a virtual trip to the reopening of Buena Vista Street!
Although the Disneyland Resort theme parks cannot reopen under California’s current theme park guidelines, Disneyland recently announced that it would be opening Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure Park for some limited shopping and dining starting this month!
