PHOTOS & VIDEOS: We’re LIVE From the Reopening of Buena Vista Street at Disneyland Resort!
Aside from shopping at the Disneyland Backlot Premiere Shop, we haven’t stepped foot INSIDE a Disneyland Resort theme park since March!
Disney California Adventure Park
But that is all about to change TODAY! It may not be the same as running through the park and riding Radiator Springs Racers or the Incredicoaster, but today we’re going to have the chance to walk down Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure for some shopping and dining and we could practically cry of excitement (tears may or may not have already been shed). Come along with us and take a virtual trip to the reopening of Buena Vista Street!
When we heard that Downtown Disney District would be “expanding” onto Buena Vista Street, we were ECSTATIC! When we saw the Red Car Trolley in the park (from beyond the gates of course), we were BEYOND THRILLED! When we read about the alfresco dining experience and new menu items coming to Carthay Circle Theatre, we were SO HAPPY! And now, the day has finally come! It’s November 19th, which means Buena Vista Street is officially reopening for shopping and dining!

Arrival
We arrived at Downtown Disney today around 7:45AM PT, but we were DEFINITELY not alone! We heard that some guests arrived at around 5AM PT — talk about dedication.

Disney had the area prepared with barriers and cones to form lines for guests to wait in. There were also some social distancing markers on the floor so guests could maintain a proper distance from one another.
Buena Vista Street Reopening Line
When we arrived, we’d say there were about 125-150 people in line ahead of us. By around 8:30AM, the line behind us was QUITE long. Check out how far back it stretches!
That’s One Long Line!
Looks like we aren’t the only ones excited to actually enter a Disneyland theme park, even if it is just for limited shopping and dining.
Also, we should note that while we were checking the menus for some locations that will be open on Buena Vista Street on the Disneyland App, we received a pop-up message from Disney indicating that only guests who have entered Buena Vista Street will be able to pick up a mobile order. Placing a mobile order at Smokejumpers Grill or Award Wieners (both of which will be reopening with Buena Vista Street) will NOT grant you access to Buena Vista Street.

That’s definitely important to keep in mind when planning your day here.
We’ll be updating this page ALL throughout the day with more details, photos, and videos, so be sure to come back for the latest updates. We can’t wait to share our full experience on Buena Vista Street with you.
