Overnight Barrier Closes Downtown Disney Walkway Near Salt & Straw

Overview

• Temporary fencing installed on February 9 blocks a short walkway and adjacent planting bed beside the ice cream shop.
• Passersby can see tools, mulch bags, paint supplies, and newly planted shrubs and a tree inside the cordoned area.
• Disneyland Resort has offered no explanation or timeline for removal, with businesses remaining open as guests navigate a narrower route.
• The barrier is shorter than typical construction walls, allows visibility into the site, and features small potted plants at its corners.
• The localized closure coincides with broader Downtown Disney upgrades, including Arthur & Sons and Pearl’s at the former Tortilla Jo’s site and a new two-story Earl of Sandwich with Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby.
