Disney just shared some exciting news! Buena Vista Street will open on Nov. 19, 2020, extending the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort with more Disney shopping and dining experiences. Discover new and returning favorite menu items plus holiday gifts and apparel, and stay tuned for more holiday happenings!
Here’s a peek at what you can expect beginning Nov. 19:
Carthay Circle Restaurant, known for its upscale cuisine, is introducing Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining, a new outdoor dining environment and a menu featuring Mediterranean-California light fare, with small plates that can be shared or enjoyed separately. The seasonal menu created by Chefs Andrew Sutton and Alex Flores will feature the Carthay shrimp roll, harissa-roasted lamb, soy-glazed salmon, lemon-crusted fish of the day, and an artisan cheese board.
Kids will find menu options just for them, including orecchiette pasta with marinara and orange dragon chicken skewers. Relax and step back in time at this throwback venue that boasts distinct attention to detail. Unwind with flavorful, international fare and a glass of wine, craft beers, or a cool cocktail, enjoying expanded outdoor seating and amazing views of Buena Vista Street.
On another corner, stop by Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe for a yummy hot chocolate and a cranberry orange scone. Or, place a mobile order for corn dogs or soft drinks at Award Wieners, or for Smokejumpers Grill, serving bacon cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, onion rings, waffle fries, kids’ meals, and vanilla and chocolate shakes.
Along Buena Vista Street, Disney magic brings a nostalgic throwback to the 1920s and ’30s. The boulevard depicts a typical Los Angeles neighborhood where a young Walt Disney lived and worked after arriving in Southern California in 1923. This idyllic setting captures the quaint “mom-and-pop” shops of the time and a big-city department store including Elias & Co., Julius Katz & Sons, Kingswell Camera Shop, and Trolley Treats, where you can find unique Disney apparel and gifts.
Beginning Nov. 19, 2020, there will be a $10 fee per car for parking at the Downtown Disney District in the Simba Lot. The number of guests visiting the Downtown Disney District and its locations, including the shopping and dining experiences along Buena Vista Street, will be limited to promote physical distancing. We may at times use the mobile waitlist system when Buena Vista Street and/or its queue are at capacity, similar to the process at some retail locations in the Downtown Disney District. Disney California Adventure Park is currently closed.
If you haven’t visited the Downtown Disney District lately, be sure to visit Disneyland.com/DTD to learn important information about updated experiences and other details including our health and safety measures such as the requirement for all guests, ages 2 and older, to wear a face covering.

San Diego Mission Bay Resort is a destination paradise on the water (photo by Greg Aragon)
It was 42 steps across the grass from my suite at San Diego Mission Bay Resort to the sandy beach where ducks were playing in the water. I know because I took this memorable stroll dozens of times during my two nights at the luxurious, waterfront hotel.
My recent getaway to San Diego Mission Bay Resort began when a friend and I checked into a beautiful King Waterview Studio overlooking the city’s iconic Mission Bay. Boasting 670-square-feet, the Southern Californian-styled room featured bright and festive hues and came with a huge flat-screen TV, comfy king bed, small sleeper sofa, lounge chair, and sophisticated, beach-chic furniture. The room also featured a large, spacious bathroom; microwave; small refrigerator; bar and sink; coffee maker; and super hi-speed Internet.
Suites are luxurious and sit only steps from the sand
But the suite’s best feature was its patio overlooking a large green lawn, a walking/biking path, and Mission Bay a few steps beyond. From the patio we could scan the beautiful bay, watch kayakers, kitesurfers and stand-up paddleboarders go by, ducks and seagulls play in the water, and the sunset into the horizon.
When not in our room, we spent much of our time at the outdoor, Mediterranean-inspired pool area. Here we relaxed in a shady cabana, laid in deck chairs to get some rays, and swam in the crystal clear water. The 4,000 sq-ft, family-friendly area offers a large adult pool and a small kiddie pool for toddlers. There is also a serene pond and waterfall where ducks like to hang out, and a giant lawn chair for taking fun pictures in.

From the pool we explored more of the property. San Diego Mission Bay Resort officially reopened in July after completing a $32-million renovation of the expansive 18-acre property. Located in the heart of San Diego on the scenic Mission Bay Park waterfront, the lavish 357-room, year-round resort is ideal for guests seeking to explore the region’s vibrant culture and nearby attractions.
“Our transformation captures the essence of everything this luxury coastal playground has to offer, and we are excited for guests to experience this iconic Southern California resort and to enjoy the true ‘soul’ of San Diego,” says Douglas Rucker, general manager of San Diego Mission Bay Resort.
“We embody the genuine San Diego way of life, connecting the easy beach lifestyle to the surrounding cultural vibrancy through creative programming and thoughtful, regionalized design.”

The reimagined resort also features a full-service spa and fitness center, five tennis courts, basketball courts, gift shop, restaurant and poolside grill. Additionally, the hotel provides over 16,000-sq-ft of interior meeting and function space, and 9,600-sq-ft of outdoor meeting space.
After touring the property we headed back to the room and relaxed on the patio. While here a friendly duck waddled near us and led us to the sand. She then hopped in the water and floated away with her friends. Since it was a hot afternoon we waded in the water, admiring Mission Bay.
Mission Bay is the largest man-made aquatic park in the country, offering numerous water activities (photo by Greg Aragon)
Mission Bay Park is the largest man-made aquatic park in the country. It is made up of two islands, lots of coves and numerous points jutting into the water. Sandy beaches are scattered about the shoreline and because of its geography, there is lots of protection from ocean waves, making it perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding and even swimming. Surrounding Mission Bay are beautiful family parks with BBQ’s, benches, restrooms, and showers, playgrounds for kids, and swimming areas.
A highlight of the park is a12-mile-long paved path for runners, bikers, skaters, and walkers. Next to the bay is SeaWorld San Diego and Belmont Park Amusement Park.
For dinner we experienced Covewood, the resort’s signature restaurant. Inspired by Coastal California, the restaurant serves up woodfired pizzas, local beef, poultry and seafood – all ready to be paired with fine wine or food-friendly cocktails.

Our meal began with crab cakes with roasted corn salsa and old bay remoulade; Tuna Tartar with avocado mousse, seaweed salad and chile vinaigrette; and Salted Caramel Brussels Sprouts with gorgonzola cheese. For the main course I devoured pan seared diver scallops with sunchoke puree, bok choy and smoked tomato vinaigrette. My companion enjoyed Achiote-grilled skirt steak with corn, purple potato hash and grilled scallions with chimichurri.
Sunsets are magical at Mission Bay Resort (photo by Greg Aragon)
After dinner, we sat on the sand beside one of the resort’s fire pits and roasted gooey, tasty s’mores as the sun fell behind the bay. The next morning we rented bikes and rode the Mission Bay bike path. After a few miles, we found a shady tree by the shore and had a picnic. Besides bikes, guests at the resort can rent kayaks, paddleboards, paddle boats, sailboats and more.

With this exciting and relaxing package, guests can upgrade their home office setting with luxurious, waterfront accommodations, fine dining, poolside relaxation and sweeping views of the bay.

Knott’s Taste of Fall-o-ween is a hidden gem that is not to be missed this Halloween season. In fact, it may very well be the most positive entertainment highlight of 2020. It has redefined what a “Knott’s Spooky Farm” can really offer. This can easily be the start of a new seasonal offering warrant its own separate hard-ticket event on non-scary Farm days. An equal competitive match against Disney’s Halloween Parties. In fact, Disney could learn a lesson or two from Knott’s.
A photo-op treat with an over-sized carved pumpkin patchJudgment awaits at Town Hall
The event doesn’t give a hint of feeling slapped together at the last minute. It’s well thought out given the health restrictions from putting on full shows and ride experiences. The operation gives a sense this was planned well over a year in advance.

If you ever experienced and enjoyed Ghost Town Alive! in the summers at Knott’s Berry Farm, you’ll love their Halloween edition! The spirits of Calico become the undead in the daytime. They’ll also energetically coax guests into returning to the town at nightfall to experience Calico like never before with colorful lighting and breezy fog effects. Even the recorded spiel played over the park speakers offer fun character-themed safety reminders.

The cemetery rises with the spellbinding immersion of ghostly projections highlighting a grave of a citizen that once walked the earth. You may have even already met their spirit earlier in the day! Makes a Disney fan want to see Disney imitate this creativity for their Haunted Mansion queue.

If anyone has been sore or timid about missing out on the previous food events at Knott’s Berry Farm, Taste of Fall-o-ween blows away all prior conceptions. Not only is the atmosphere and interaction the most extensive, but the food quality has also been raised another level. Any negative aspects from before were practically forgotten.

If you plan on only spending a couple of hours in the park, you might as well just spend the whole day and night. It really does bring a little bit of joy the world could use right now. Alongside even more hand sanitizer stations, seating, social distance markers, pre-recorded safety reminders, face masks, and limited park capacity.

Food quality and portion size have stepped up this season. The pastrami items are very flavorful. The side tip of the soft-serve ice cream on the Graveyard Funnel cake made it look like a witch’s hat. A sweet but not overpowering treat. The pumpkin spice ratio in the Pumpkin Bun will test your taste buds. Cannoli contained a pumpkin pie-like filling. Riblets look sad with its over-sized paper plate, yet still tasty. Vegetarian Meatball made me forget there was no meat used.
The sweet potato waffle fries are delicious in their own right. The aroma alone from the curry was to die for. The Cookiewich uses soft serve in Calico and hand-scooped in the Boardwalk. But equally messy. The Boysenberry smoothie was rich even in the small cup size. I was too full to try the Pumpkin Spice Pecan Crumble Bar in the park. So I took it home and later ate it with whip cream topping. Verdict: So Good! And very sharable.
