UPDATE: Disney Planning to Reopen Downtown Disney Security Plaza Near Disneyland Hotel

Disneyland Resort has informed WDWNT they plan to reopen the now-closed Downtown Disney District entrance.

Downtown Disney District Entrance Reopening

As we reported on Monday, the security plaza on the west side of Downtown Disney District, closest to Disneyland Hotel, is now closed. The exit next to the security plaza is still open. Guests entering Downtown Disney are being redirected to the new security plaza to the south.

Disneyland Resort reached out to WDWNT to let us know the closure is temporary and the security plaza will reopen. We spotted an excavator at the site so it seems the entrance is closed for an extensive refurbishment. Disneyland did not share further details.

Changes to the entrance are part of an ongoing remodel of the west side of Downtown Disney. Various business have closed and reopened over the past few years. A new stage and green space debuted last year and Din Tai Fung opened. The former ESPN Zone building will soon house lululemon.
