Act Fast: Disney Closing Fan-Loved Spot and Wiping It From the App Now

Disneyland closed a fan-favorite eating establishment and removed a portion of the menu from all online portals.

Is it coming back anytime soon?

A Weekend Favorite Quietly Fades Away at Disneyland Resort

There’s something extra magical about mornings on Pixar Pier—the smell of fresh coffee drifting over shimmering water, laughter echoing from Incredicoaster, and the first sip of a Lamplight Lounge mimosa under the warm California sun. But starting next month, that peaceful brunch ritual may disappear altogether. Could one of Disneyland Resort’s most beloved breakfast experiences be coming to an end?

Two Closures, One Curious Change

The Disneyland Resort dining schedule shows that both Lamplight Lounge and Lamplight Lounge – Boardwalk Dining are set to close in January 2026 for refurbishment. The main restaurant will close from January 12–15, while Boardwalk Dining is listed closed through at least February 2, suggesting a lengthier refresh.

Temporary refurbishments like this are common, but what’s drawing attention isn’t the closure—it’s what happens afterward.

Brunch Disappears From the Menu

When Lamplight Lounge reopens on January 16, there’s a surprising omission: no brunch hours. The Disneyland website no longer lists morning seating or allows brunch reservations beyond January 15.

This marks a major shift for a restaurant that built its reputation on creative, Pixar-themed dishes and upscale yet relaxed weekend brunches. From the chilaquiles to the “Indulgent French Toast,” the menu was a highlight for locals, Annual Passholders, and out-of-town guests hoping to start their Disneyland day with something special.

Though Disney hasn’t confirmed the change as permanent, the missing listings point toward brunch being quietly retired. And for Disney food fans, that’s a loss that goes beyond a single meal—it’s the end of a beloved tradition.

Why the Loss Matters for Guests

With Lamplight Lounge brunch absent, Disney California Adventure will have fewer early-day sit-down dining choices, especially on weekends. That’s a significant gap in a park that opens later and leans heavily on snacks, lounges, and quick-service meals rather than full breakfast options.

Whether this signals a menu overhaul or a reallocation of staffing, the effect is the same for guests: fewer ways to begin the morning with a relaxing, sit-down Disney meal.

For many fans, brunch at Lamplight represented a rare balance of great food, creative cocktails, and Pixar charm—all with some of the best views on property. Its possible end underscores a larger shift in how the resort continues to evolve its dining experiences, balancing guest demand with operational efficiency.
