food IS a theme park
The situation with eating and drinking in Disney World has been kind of complex.

Until today, Southern California has been under a stay-at-home order for more than a month. During the order, all on-location dining was prohibited in Downtown Disney. Now, the stay-at-home order has been lifted, so we’re checking in on the current dining policy at Disneyland Resort.
As a countermeasure to the spread of COVID-19, California Governor Gavin Newsom implemented a system where stay-at-home orders were enacted in regions that fell below 15% ICU capacity.

Several regions, including Southern California where Disneyland Resort is located, were put under these stay-at-home orders. Now, after California has begun to see recovery from the ICU capacity reaching 0%, the California government has lifted both the stay-at-home orders and the enacted curfew.
Disneyland Resort closed earlier this year, and although Downtown Disney and part of Disney California Adventure (with limited shopping and dining), have reopened, the state of California still faces many challenges due to the global health crisis.

The state recently issued new health and safety guidelines that theme parks must adhere to before reopening, but those guidelines could keep Disneyland closed until 2021.
Disneyland recently canceled all reservations through the end of the year, and Orange County, where Disneyland resides, recently moved back to the state’s purple tier due to a fast increase in COVID-19 cases in the area.
Now, The Orange County Register reports that California Governor Gavin Newson has announced a new curfew for much of the state.
Mayor Jerry Demings has placed a curfew for residents of Orange County, Florida which includes Orlando and parts of Walt Disney World Resort.

The nightly curfew begins tonight at 11 PM and runs until 5 AM until further notice.
