Downtown Disney, Buena Vista Street Closes Dining Amid New Orders

ANAHEIM, CA — Though it still looks a lot like Christmas at Downtown Disney and Disney California Adventure's Buena Vista Street, some changes are being made, according to the Disneyland Resort.

Like the rest of southern California, a shelter at home order is in place due to a rise in coronavirus cases and shrinking ICU beds for the sick.

With that, all non-essential businesses are changing the way they operate. At Disneyland Resort, that translates to no more outdoor dining for at least three weeks, as restaurants will give you purchased food in to-go containers. Shopping is limited to 20 percent capacity.

Disney Vacation Club guests who planned to stay at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa will need to change their arrival dates.
The Villas at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will remain closed until further notice.

Similarly, guests who have planned reservations to dine at Carthay Circle, Award Wieners, Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe, and the like will find those reservations now canceled. No cancelation fees, in either case, will be applied.

With those changes to both hotel and restaurants, an additional 350 cast members will return to furlough, Patch has learned.

Downtown Disney and Buena Vista Street will remain open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. albeit with changes.

Starting Monday, retail locations are operating with enhanced health and safety measures, a spokesperson said. Restaurants and food and beverage locations are only offering take-out dining.

If you go, plan to eat offsite.
Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure remain closed until a "later date," a spokesperson said. For more information, visit disneyland.disney.go.com.
