Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure have both been closed since March of last year, and they’re both expected to be closed at least for a little while longer.

Last year, however, Downtown Disney did reopen at Disneyland Resort. And later, Buena Vista Street in California Adventure reopened as an extension of Downtown Disney. But, soon guests won’t be able to stroll through Buena Vista Street…at least not for free.

When Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure Park reopened last year, it reopened as an “extension of Downtown Disney.” That meant that guests could walk around this area essentially for free — without having to pay any admission fee for California Adventure or anything like that.

But, soon that will all be changing. Recently, Disney announced that a new ticketed food even INSIDE of California Adventure would be coming soon. Today we got some BIG details about that special ticketed event, which is called “A Touch of Disney.” During the event, you’ll get the chance to explore the park, shop, eat some of your favorite park treats, and more. Guests will even get the chance to enjoy some tasty treats at Lamplight Lounge again.

A Touch of Disney will start on March 18th, 2021. But, because this event will take place in and essentially be taking over Disney California Adventure Park, Buena Vista Street will soon be closing as an extension of Downtown Disney. Specifically, Buena Vista Street will stay open as an extension of Downtown Disney through March 14th. It will then be closed starting March 15th. But, beginning March 18th, Buena Vista Street will become part of A Touch of Disney and will be open to guests who buy a ticket for the special event.
