Preparations for the late April reopening of Disneyland Resort are underway. Part of the work taking place today is the construction of a fence around Disneyland Hotel. The fence will effectively create a bubble around the property.

This walkway to Disneyland Hotel is blocked by temporary fencing.

The hotel’s directional sign is behind the fence.

The fence makes it seem unlikely that Trader Sam’s, Goofy’s Kitchen, and the remaining offerings at the hotel will return anytime soon.

The line in the grass shown here follows the previous fence line.

The temporary fence is inside the original fence line.
Disney has yet to announce the reason for the fence “bubble” or when Disneyland Hotel will reopen. This could be related to the construction of the new Disney Vacation Club wing at the hotel. The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa are set to reopen May 2, 2021.

who cares if the mouse rips more tourists off for bigger $$?
I can understand Disney’s desire to not want guests wandering around a closed property, even with some security staff on hand to handle anyone who tries to take it to the “urban explorer” level, but I can also imagine how peaceful and relaxing it would be to walk around in that area with not many other people around.
But if the parks are reopening next month, which seems likely (unless there’s an uptick in virus cases again after Spring Break), the Disneyland Hotel may not be far behind (even in a limited capacity, since only California residents will be allowed to visit the parks in the near future). So keeping people out while they make everything “neat and pretty” in preparation makes sense.
