The Golden Horseshoe is also reopening very soon! This Frontierland dining location is opening on July 29. Note that only food and beverage services will be returning to the restaurant and currently there is no word on when live performers will return.
This quick-service dining location is a favorite among Guests. Serving classic like chicken fingers, fries, and ice cream, Golden Horseshow provides an Old West escape from the summer heat with its air-conditioned dining room. Click here to read the full menu.
This news comes as Disneyland Resort continues its phased reopening. Though the Downtown Disney District reopened in July 2020, the theme parks of the Disneyland Resort did not officially reopen their gates and welcome back Guests until April 30, 2021. As of July 2, all three hotels of the Disneyland Resort (the Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa) are open, as well.
As the Disneyland Resort has continues its phased reopening and more attractions and dining locations have returned, Disney has recalled and hired more Cast Members. The reopening of several more dining locations at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park is good news for those hoping to return to work at the Happiest Place on Earth, as well as those Guests who have been waiting for their favorite restuarnts to be available again.
Note that not every attraction or dining location has reopened at the Disneyland Resort, and there are several other offerings and amenities — including FASTPASS and most live entertainment — that have not yet returned. But the gradual reopening of dining locations like Carthay Circle and the Golden Horseshoe is certainly happy news.
Disney also announced today that character dining is returning to the Plaza Inn at Disneyland Park (located on the corner of Main Street, U.S.A.) and Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Click here for all the details!
