After being closed for nearly a year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Disney's California Adventure theme park will temporarily reopen this spring for a special event. On Monday (February 8), Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock announced the park will host a food festival in a memo sent to employees.
As of now, little is known about the upcoming food festival. The event is tentatively set to take place in mid-March. Portrock described the event as a "limited-time ticketed experience" that will take place with limited capacity inside the park.
The food festival will allow guests to enjoy "unique, carefully crafted entertainment experiences, " as well as some of Disneyland's popular food, beverages and merchandise offerings. Park attractions, such as Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, Toy Story Mania, and the Incredicoaster, will not be open during the event.
"This past year has presented extraordinary challenges, but that has not curtailed in any way our ability to move forward with a spirit of optimism," Potrock told employees in the memo. Disneyland also plans to rehire 1,000 employees for the event who were previously laid off due to the continuing closure of the park amid the pandemic.
