After Disneyland Resort shut down throughout the world pandemic, followers had been, in fact, at a loss. When the parks and related places lastly started reopening greater than a 12 months later, it was gradual going, with plenty of earlier choices nonetheless left unavailable. It wasn’t a shock when the Disneyland Lodge’s Steakhouse 55 didn’t instantly reopen, however it was a shock when followers had been advised that the high-end eating institution wouldn’t reopen in any respect, however would as an alternative get replaced.
Over the past three years, Steakhouse 55 has remained empty, but additionally no work on a alternative had ever commenced, giving many the slim hope that maybe Disneyland had reserved course and determined to go away the restaurant as is. Sadly, immediately the hammer fell, as theme park reported Scott Gustin has introduced that work is starting immediately to dismantle Steakhouse 55.

The tip of the favored restaurant wouldn’t be the tip of the world for everyone, if Disneyland introduced one thing spectacular that was taking on the house. Sadly, what’s taking on the house is basically, nothing. As it’s being remodeled into what’s being known as “versatile lounge house” that can, at some factors, turn out to be seating for a seasonal bar. Evidently, this isn’t the information followers had been hoping for. A number of are responding on Twitter that they’re less than thrilled with the change…
That appears…productive and nice. 🙄
And to be honest, it’s a considerably shocking choice. Steakhouse 55 was a preferred location, and the major “fine dining” restaurant on the Disneyland Lodge. As such, it nearly actually introduced in some huge cash, which makes changing it with one thing that largely received’t, a considerably baffling selection. Lots of people wish to have good dinners at Disneyland and are keen to pay for it, however now there’s one much less choice…
…why?? Wasn’t this place like the one “good” restaurant on the resort?
Whereas Steakhouse 55 had solely been round since 2006, it paid homage to the start of Disneyland, which opened in 1955. As such, along with it being a pleasant steakhouse to have dinner, it additionally had a decor that included outdated pictures of the park’s development and early days, a lot of which included Walt Disney himself. For a lot of, the choice to not reopen the placement is simply the newest in a series of bad food decisions at Disneyland Resort…
Sooner or later @DisneyParks will cease making silly selections, proper? Deliver again 55 to #Disneyland! There is not any different restaurant on property prefer it (and so they’ve ruined Jazz Kitchen’s decor & ambiance). 🙁 Grrrr.
It’s additionally a bit attention-grabbing to see Disneyland make the decision to shut its steakhouse when Walt Disney World simply opened its model of Steakhouse 55, Steakhouse 71, after the pandemic shutdown. After all, Disney World has also been known to close seemingly fashionable places…
I’m used to WDW copying DLR however the different manner round is attention-grabbing.
Whereas there wasn’t a lot hope that Steakhouse 55 can be saved, what little hope their was is now gone, and the expectation of much more, that it will not less than get replaced by one other restaurant that might be pretty much as good, if not higher, is now additionally gone. Possibly no matter plans the Disneyland Lodge has for seasonal bars shall be sufficient to make this house really feel helpful.
