And today TONS of spots reopened, including DisneyStyle, City Works Eatery & Pour House, and The Ganachery. But that’s not all!

Raglan Road is back! The Irish pub and restaurant planned to reopen on June 10th, and open on June 10th they did! And you KNOW we were on the scene to check it out.

People were pretty pumped to see Raglan Road reopening, and there was a line outside the restaurant.

Like other spots around Disney Springs, Raglan Road had a sign out front outlining its health and safety measures, including keeping 6 feet away from others, increased sanitization, and safe screens in front of staff.

We were seated outside at the restaurant, where we noticed a contactless QR code menu, but if you don’t have a smartphone, don’t worry — Raglan Road is also offering paper menus upon request.

Upon its reopening, Raglan Road is offering a condensed menu, but items like the Shepherd’s to Die for Pie, Fish & Chips, and the Braised Be Beef are still available.

To get a little taste of Raglan Road again, we sat down and ordered an appetizer. But before our order came out, our server gave us some complimentary Irish soda bread with a Guinness and sugar reduction with olive oil for dipping.

As for the food we ordered, we opted for the Nom Nom Wings, which come smothered in an Asian-inspired sauce with honey, chili flakes, soy sauce, and ginger sauce. We found these $15.00 wings a tad salty for our tastebuds, but when paired with an ice-cold pint, they could be pretty satisfying.

When we got our check, we were brought a contactless card reader, where we could tap or swipe our card.

Beyond the restaurant’s indoor and outdoor dining areas, Raglan’s Road retail store reopened today so you can stock up on Guinness T-shirts and other Irish pub-inspired goods.

In the store, we noticed social distancing markers on the floor, plexiglass in front of cashiers, and a sign asking guests to touch as few items as possible.

And because you KNOW Disney Springs LOVES its outdoor bars, Raglan Road’s own outdoor to-go bar was setting up, ready to pour pints and glasses of wine.

Slowly but surely, more spots are opening back up at Disney Springs, making this shopping district feel a bit more like its old self again! Seeing Raglan Road reopened and buzzing gets us even MORE excited for when Walt Disney World theme parks reopen in mid-July!

Anaheim Mayor Supports Disneyland Reopening disneyland reopening

Plans have officially been submitted for the Disneyland reopening! The planned reopening is scheduled for July 17, Disneyland’s 65th anniversary.

The Mayor of Anaheim, Harry Sidhu, is speaking out in support of the reopening plans. He shared some words on Twitter about why the Disneyland reopening is great for the city of Anaheim.

His post reads:

“Today is a great day for Anaheim. We could see the reopening of Disneyland 65 years to the day from when Walt Disney opened his first theme park in our city. This is a major milestone in the recovery of Anaheim, California and our nation. We know Disney will be able to meet the challenge of reopen safely, and Anaheim stands ready to see that happen.”

NEWS! Resort Hotel Booking is Currently Unavailable On the Disneyland Website

Earlier today, Disneyland Resort released a reopening proposal!

NEWS! Resort Hotel Booking is Currently Unavailable On the Disneyland Website

If the proposal is approved by state and local governments, Downtown Disney will open July 9, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will open July 17, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel &  Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will reopen July 23 (Disneyland Hotel will remain closed initially).

NOTE — This issue appears to be resolved. The Grand Californian and Paradise Pier are currently able to be booked on the Disneyland website.

When the news was released, Disneyland placed a temporary pause on new ticket sales, Annual Pass sales, and renewals. And now, it appears that hotel bookings are currently unavailable on the Disneyland website as well!

We noticed an error message on the page for Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa that indicates booking is currently unavailable. Even if we attempted to search for availability several months in the future, we were cycled back to this same page.

And we ran into the same situation when we checked Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel.

We were also unable to book Good Neighbor hotels on the Disneyland website, BUT we were still able to make reservations for Good Neighbor locations directly through those hotel’s websites. We’ll keep you posted on any new info as it’s released.
