Although most of Disneyland Resort remains closed for the time being, Downtown Disney reopened for business this summer.
World of Disney at Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney stays pretty busy on weekends, weekdays tend to be quieter — except for today, when we noticed weekend-level crowds there.
This month, Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure will open up to guests for shopping and dining.
Disney California Adventure
While a list of shops and restaurants was initially announced to open with this event, another restaurant has been added on!
While the reopening guidelines have been announced for Disneyland and other California theme parks, we still do not have an opening date for Disneyland.

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!

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.

Here at DFB, we aren’t known to say no to dessert. We love trying out the different flavors and creations that Disney makes!
Kakamora Float from Aloha Isle Refreshments
Our love for everything sweet has made us really excited about these ice cream flavors being released by Salt & Straw! There’s something a little bit different about these flavors though…they could be a part of our Thanksgiving meals!
With the release of California’s theme park guidelines, Disneyland parks might not be able to open for a while.
