After Disneyland Resort shut down during the global pandemic, fans were, of course, at a loss. When the parks and associated locations finally began reopening more than a year later, it was slow going, with a lot of previous offerings still left unavailable. It wasn’t a shock when the Disneyland Hotel’s Steakhouse 55 didn’t immediately reopen, but it was a shock when fans were told that the high-end dining establishment would not reopen at all, but would instead be replaced.
Over the last three years, Steakhouse 55 has remained empty, but also no work on a replacement had ever commenced, giving many the slim hope that perhaps Disneyland had reserved course and decided to leave the restaurant as is. Unfortunately, today the hammer fell, as theme park reported Scott Gustin has announced that work is beginning today to dismantle Steakhouse 55.
