food IS a theme park
Although some restaurants and hotels are still closed in Disney World, we’ve seen some spots start to reopen recently!
Magic Kingdom Crowds
Hollywood & Vine, Woody’s Lunch Box, hotel restaurants, and more have gradually started to welcome guests again throughout Walt Disney World. And today, we’re headed to Magic Kingdom to check out another spot that will join that list — Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant!
When Disney World reopened earlier this year, after the park closures, several restaurants and hotels reopened with it, but many remained closed.
Wilderness Lodge
Over time, we’ve seen some spots reopen, but several are still closed. Today, however, Disney has announced when one fan-favorite resort — Disney’s Wilderness Lodge — will be reopening!
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!
All four Walt Disney World theme parks have reopened, as have many of the Resort hotels, but some things like the water parks and certain restaurants and hotels remain closed.
Winter Summerland
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf — one of the mini golf courses in Disney World — had not yet reopened but that all changed today!
The global health crisis has been a challenge for the travel industry, particularly for Disney, which operates theme parks around the world.
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland
And although Disneyland still remains closed for the time being, one Disney-related attraction in California will reopen soon.
We’re still shocked that some popular restaurants have not reopened at Disney World (come back to us Casey’s Corner!), but little by little more spots are starting to reopen.
Spaceship Earth
Recently, at EPCOT Chefs de France in the France pavilion reopened, as well as Pizza al Taglio in the Italy pavilion. Now, a quick service spot in another EPCOT pavilion is back up and running!
We’ve been making our way around Disney’s Hollywood Studios today and enjoying all of the new things there, including the newly reopened Frozen Sing-Along show.
Hollywood Studios Entrance
But, what’s a good park day without a little shopping? While Hollywood Studios is full of fun shops with all kinds of unique merchandise, today we noticed that another shop has officially reopened.
When will Disneyland reopen? It’s a BIG question we’ve yet to get the answer to.
Disneyland Main Entrance
Recently, we’ve seen some signs that could show Disneyland is getting prepared for its reopening, whenever that comes. But, what will Disneyland look like when it does reopen? How many guests can we expect to see walking through those gates? Some new data analysis is starting to give us a better idea.
We’ve SERIOUSLY missed Casey’s Corner and those delicious corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese!
Casey’s Corner
Right now, Casey’s Corner is still closed, but, when we stopped by Magic Kingdom today, we spotted some changes in the area that could mean this quick service spot is on its way to reopening soon!
