Another closure has hit Disneyland Resort, but it may not be one you were expecting.

Broken Spell Lounge

Inside the Disneyland Hotel, you’ll find a spot that has seen many different versions of lounges over the years. Currently, you’ll find the Broken Spell Lounge here, which opened back in late 2025. However, if you were hoping to stop by on your upcoming trip, that just got much harder.

The Disneyland website currently lists the Broken Spell Lounge as closed for refurbishment. Operating hours are currently posted again on the Disneyland website for dates starting October 25th, 2026.

Broken Spell Lounge is inspired by the Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty, and that’s shown throughout the theming of the space. When open, you can grab small bites like the dry-rub chicken wings, classic Caesar salad, savory steak frites, and molten chocolate cake, as well as glasses of wine and special cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Black Thorn Bramble.

If you’ll be near the Disneyland Hotel and are looking for other spots to check out, we recommend Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar for an incredibly immersive experience, the Palm Breeze Bar, as well as Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill. Not to mention, you can also order room service if you find you don’t want to leave the room.

Disney Vacation Club members can escape the heat (and the crowds!) by visiting the Disney Vacation Club Star View Station at Disneyland. But that’s about to change soon, because Star View Station is temporarily closing!

Star View Station is located in Tomorrowland at Disneyland. The lounge is filled with retro space-theming and historic Disney gems, including the old K7 Space Suit worn by the Tomorrowland astronauts in Disneyland Park! There are a variety of amenities, including a special Disney Vacation Club Member Services team, plenty of seating, complimentary Wi-Fi, device-charging stations, and complimentary soft drinks.

But Star View Station is temporarily closing soon! Starting on July 27th, 2026, the lounge will close for routine maintenance work. It’s scheduled to reopen on an unannounced date in the fall of 2026.

Once Star View Station is closed, you can head to a temporary lounge space inside Starcade, located near the exit of Space Mountain in Tomorrowland, where you’ll find a sectioned space made available for Disney Vacation Club members.

While the Disneyland Disney Vacation Club lounge is closed, you can still access the neighboring Disney California Adventure‘s DVC lounge. The Golden Vine House near Wine Country Trattoria offers ice-cold air-conditioning and plenty of seating.
