Businesses at Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort are beginning to confirm their reopening dates. Since receiving an initial confirmation from one Downtown Disney restaurant when this article was first published, we have continued to update this article with the reopening plans for other businesses. However, if you want a full list that Disney has released since we originally published this article, please click here.

Disney confirmed in the initial announcement of the phased reopening of Disneyland Resort that World of Disney will be reopening on the same day that Downtown Disney reopens.

Downtown Disney District will begin reopening on July 9 in line with the state’s reopening guidelines, with its unique variety of shopping and dining experiences, including the flagship World of Disney store. With the health of guests and Disney cast members at the forefront of planning, several operational changes will be implemented based on guidance from health authorities to promote physical distancing and cleanliness throughout the Downtown Disney District.

Disneyland Resort initially announced its phased reopening plans in mid-June. So far, it has been confirmed and approved for Downtown Disney to reopen on July 9, and two onsite hotels (Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel) to reopen on July 23. At this time, the Disneyland and Disney California Adventure theme parks are pending approval from state and local governments for a July 17 reopening date. There are no announced plans for the reopening of the Disneyland Hotel.
