We’ve been enjoying all sorts of eats inside the parks, but many restaurants are still shuttered. However, we’ve gotten BIG news recently about some restaurants that are reopening soon — and now, we’ve got an update about WHEN you can book your reservations.
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park have reopened and so have many of the attractions and restaurants there.
Blue Bayou Is Reopening Soon!
But, some locations in the parks and resort area are still closed. Disney had previously announced that the beautiful Blue Bayou Restaurant would soon be reopening (and would serve alcohol), but hadn’t shared an official reopening date. Now we’ve got an update!!
We’ve gotten some BIG Disney news lately!
Cinderella Castle
One of the biggest announcements is that the Disney College Program is resuming NEXT month after being on pause for over a year, with modified eligibility requirements and brand-new housing. We’ve slowly been receiving more information about what the program will look like, and now, we have some updates on housing.

Most Disney fans have probably owned a Disney plush of some kind at one time or another. If you’d still take a plush over seasonal merchandise, adorable mugs, or collectibles; we TOTALLY get it. So, if you’ve been hoping for a DEAL on Disney plushes today, we’ve got you covered!
This summer, quite a few things will be opening (or reopening) in Disney World!
Club Cool is a Coming BACK!
Festival of the Lion King has already soft-opened and will officially reopen soon, Chef Mickey’s will start serving dinner again, Cape May Cafe will reopen, and Tusker House will reopen too. Over at EPCOT, a “revitalized” Club Cool will be also be opening in the park. When Disney first shared this news we had 1 BIG question on our minds — “will the notorious Beverly come back?!” And now we’ve got our answer!!
A dining spot in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has officially reopened!

While many Counter Service spots in the park have been open — like Rosie’s All-American Cafe right next door — Fairfax Fare has remained closed since the parks’ reopening. But that changed today! Fairfax Fare is officially back OPEN, and we stopped by to give it a try. And bonus: it even has a brand-new menu!

That’s because we’re BIG excited for Cruella, the origin-story movie for one of Disney’s dastardliest villains (Who wants to hurt puppies?!). We’ve seen several clips and trailers from the film and we can’t wait for it to release in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access later this month. Now, we’ve got another reason to be excited too!
