According to recent updates on the Disneyland Resort website, two popular dining locations—Carnation Cafe at Disneyland and Magic Key Terrace at Disney California Adventure—are listed as closing indefinitely beginning November 17. While the closures have not been officially confirmed by Disney, the listings have already prompted discussion among park visitors and fans online.

Uncertainty Surrounds the Closures

It is currently unclear whether the listed closures indicate a permanent shutdown or simply a temporary adjustment to hours that has yet to be updated on the website. Both Carnation Cafe and Magic Key Terrace have long been staples of the Disneyland Resort dining scene, offering unique experiences to park-goers.

Carnation Cafe is well-known for its classic American fare and nostalgic Main Street ambiance, while Magic Key Terrace has been a favored spot for California Adventure visitors, particularly for guests with the Disney Magic Key Annual Pass.

Fans on social media have expressed concern and curiosity over the potential indefinite closures. Many have shared their personal memories of visiting the locations, with Carnation Cafe often cited as a must-stop for breakfast or lunch on Main Street, U.S.A. The Magic Key Terrace, meanwhile, has served as a convenient spot for passholder-exclusive events and dining experiences.

What Could Be Happening

Given the lack of an official statement, it is possible that the indefinite closure listings may reflect temporary renovations, seasonal adjustments, or updated operational hours rather than a permanent shutdown. Disneyland frequently updates dining locations, menus, and operational schedules to accommodate seasonal crowds, refurbishments, and special events, and sometimes website listings do not immediately reflect final decisions.

Guests planning visits to the park in November and beyond are encouraged to check the official Disneyland Resort website for the latest updates on dining availability. Until Disney releases a formal statement, the status of Carnation Cafe and Magic Key Terrace remains uncertain.
