SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â Disneyland is bringing nearly 1,000 case members back to work for a limited-time ticketed food experience that will be held inside California Adventure.
The new event will focus on world-class food and beverage offerings from around the resort, according to a letter sent to cast members by Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock. Fans can expect the new food event to arrive in mid-March.
The ticketed food event will feature what s being described as a distinctly Disney experience, with food and entertainment experiences multiple days a week at California Adventure â though details of the event have yet to be announced.
In ending the current program, Disney is looking ahead to operating at a reduced, reservation-only capacity when California health officials let the parks reopen.
Disneyland may still be the Happiest Place on Earth, but the park created some sad fans Thursday when they announced the end of their annual pass program.
The park has been shut down since March thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. This announcment means the most hardcore Disney fans those with passes letting them go all-year long (outside of blackout dates) no longer have a post-COVID treat to look forward to. That hope now joins
Captain EO and the Country Bear Jamboree in Theme Park Heaven.
Why end the passes? Park officials blame the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic, as well as limitations around the reopening of their California theme parks, according to a statement from Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock. Disneyland has pushed hard to reopen, putting pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom in a dispute that led to former Disney CEO Bob Iger quitting the governor s COVID-19 economic recovery task force. The state has refused to allow Disneyland to reopen until COVID-19 spread

The Disneyland and Disney California Adventure theme parks, closed for nearly a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, are ending their annual pass program as we know it.
The popular multi-tiered ticketing system, which shifted the culture of the two Anaheim theme parks in a way that it became a daily, weekly or monthly hangout for many Southern Californians, is being axed or “sunsetted,” to use the terminology of Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock. The annual pass program will eventually be replaced with new membership offerings, he said.
Potrock offered no timeline on the latter, citing the unpredictability of the current environment, in which a surge in coronavirus cases grips Southern California.
