Disneyland officials released details on Wednesday about a mini theme park opening in Anaheim next month. The event with limited capacity tickets will be called “A Touch of Disney”.
The theme park, which was closed for a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will partially reopen from March 18 to April 5 for the event, which will offer Disney fans the chance to shop in stores and enjoy restaurants Disneyland, including California Adventure Park.
Much of the food will be a “small” version of fan favorites from across the park. Disney characters from the theme park will also be present at the event.
A new soundtrack of Disney’s “rethought” songs will also be part of the experience as they are played in the park, officials said.

Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock announced in a letter to employees this month that the company would open a new gastronomic event with tickets featuring dishes from across the theme park, as well as new products. Wednesday’s announcement confirms the dates and adds specific details about what visitors can expect.
On Tuesday, the powerful Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors supported the Bill 420 Assembly, which aims to allow theme parks to reopen earlier than allowed by California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Amusement park operators have long been irritated by what they see as the very restrictive demands placed on them by the Newsom project. They argue that there has not been a single documented case at a theme park, and the California Attractions and Parks Association has established its plan for rigorous virus prevention measures.
Earlier this month, Six Flags Magic Mountain announced that it would reopen this spring.
Parent company Six Flags Entertainment said in a statement that it was working “with state and government officials to set firm dates for reopening our parks in California”.
