With recent updates to California’s tiered reopening plan, Governor Gavin Newsom has moved Orange County, where Disneyland Resort is located, into the “Red Tier,” which means certain restaurants are now offering indoor seating.
Today, the Downtown Disney District confirmed this in an email.

The first part of the message announces the reopening of several restaurants and retail spots:
More locations are now open as part of the phased reopening of the Downtown Disney® District, now including Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen®, California Sole and other shopping and dining experiences.

The message goes on to outline details about indoor dining.

It reads:
Dining locations at the Downtown Disney District have begun to reopen in a way that incorporates our enhanced health and safety measures, including physical distancing, the use of appropriate face coverings by Operating Participant employees, Cast Members, and Guests, increased cleaning procedures, and limited-contact Guest services. Additionally at this time, following state and county guidelines, limited indoor seating will be permitted; all other seating is outdoor patio only.
To promote physical distancing and touches transactions, a number of changes have been made to our dining locations, including:
- Increased outdoor patio-style seating
- Parties seated at tables 6 feet apart
- Digital or single-use menus available at many locations

The full list of Downtown Disney District restaurants that could potentially offer indoor seating is:
- Ballast Point Brewing Co.
- Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes
- La Brea Bakery Cafe
- Naples Ristorante e Bar
- Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen
- Tortilla Jo’s
