food IS a theme park
We have seen SO many new Minnie Ears at Disney World recently that there seems to be at least one new pair coming out almost every week!
World of Disney at Disneyland Ears
But now some of those ears have made their way to Disneyland, too!
Although Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure are still closed, the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort, with all of its fantastic stores and restaurants, is open!
Downtown Disney!
We’ve enjoyed several speciality shopping events there and even gotten the chance to check out the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise.
Although many of its theme parks around the world have reopened, Disney is not entirely back up and running.

The Disneyland Resort theme parks are still closed and cruising is expected to be the last aspect of the company to resume. COVID-19 has greatly impacted the Disney company and other companies worldwide. We’ve seen lots of layoffs in various other hotels and theme parks, which is now being followed by a large number of layoffs in Disney World.
Disneyland is currently in the seventh month of its historic closure, and many are wondering when the state of California will release the theme park industry guidelines needed in order to reopen.

Today, California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly held a video conference call providing an update on the state’s reopening blueprint and where each county stands in their own reopening process, and commented on the whereabouts of the state’s reopening guidelines for the theme park industry.
Although we’ve seen some changes in and around the Disneyland Resort theme parks that show Disney is getting ready for when Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure can reopen to the public, no official reopening date has been set yet.
Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers
A trade association representing Disneyland and others and a new commercial created by a separate group have called on Governor Newsom to open up the theme parks. Now, some of California’s state legislators are joining in too.
How does one properly celebrate an EPIC anniversary for an EPIC Disney park? With an endless stream of special merch, of course!

We’ve got our Retro Disneyland Ears, Disneyland tumbler, and we’re ready to go to the happiest place on earth. There’s just one problem…it’s closed.
Retro Disneyland Ears
Disneyland closed about 6 months ago. Downtown Disney has reopened but Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park remain closed. While an initial reopening date for the parks was set, it was thereafter delayed, and a new reopening date has yet to be announced. But, Disney officials and others are working hard to push California’s governor to reopen the theme parks.
It may be hard to believe, but Disneyland has officially been closed for six months.
Disneyland Park
And while Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, has reopened and other Disney resorts around the world have reopened (or plan to reopen!), Disneyland still has no official reopening plan or date.
So this is love! Not only do we think that the Disney Parks are the most magical places on Earth, but we also think they’re some of the most ROMANTIC!
Bridge to the Wedding Pavilion
Not only can you get engaged at Walt Disney World, the Disneyland Resort, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, and even aboard the Disney Cruise Line, you can also get MARRIED at a variety of venues there too (but let’s be honest, we’re most excited about the wedding cake!).
