Disneyland Park’s popular Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe, a Main Street, U.S.A. staple known for its pastries and quick bites, is slated to reopen its doors on March 22, 2025, following an extended closure that began January 7. The news, first spotted on the Disneyland Resort’s operating calendar, marks the end of a refurbishment that’s left fans hungry for their grilled cheese fix and those iconic Matterhorn macaroons.


The closure, which kicked off after the Christmas season wrapped, saw scaffolding and themed scrims wrap the Mary Poppins-inspired eatery, signaling a significant overhaul. Disney hasn’t released an official statement detailing the upgrades, but a permit filed with the city of Anaheim in December hinted at “tenant improvements,” including a new high curb, a steel platform for lighting, and electrical tweaks. Sources confirm the reopening date aligns with the resort’s latest schedule, though Disneyland cautions it’s subject to change—a reminder that even the Happiest Place on Earth isn’t immune to last-minute shifts.


During the downtime, Refreshment Corner stepped up, serving breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and offering Jolly Holiday favorites like the breakfast croissant. The move kept the Main Street crowds fed, but it didn’t stop the buzz about what’s coming next. The bakery’s return couldn’t come at a better time—Spring Break season is revving up, and park-goers are eager to reclaim their spot at one of Disneyland’s busiest quick-service joints.


Jolly Holiday, which replaced the Plaza Pavilion in 2012, has built a loyal following with its mix of seasonal treats and hearty sandwiches. Its prime location near Sleeping Beauty Castle makes it a go-to for breakfast, lunch, or a mid-day snack. The closure disrupted that rhythm, pushing visitors to alternatives like Galactic Grill and Red Rose Tavern. Now, with March 22 on the horizon, the bakery’s ovens are set to fire up just as the park braces for heavier foot traffic.


But not everything’s set in stone. Word on the street suggests Disney might be tweaking the menu for the grand reopening—could a new signature dish or a fan-favorite return be in the works? No confirmation from the Mouse yet, but speculation is swirling among park regulars who’ve missed their Jolly Holiday fix. We’ll keep digging for answers as the date nears.


For now, mark your calendars: March 22 could bring back the familiar scent of fresh-baked goods to Main Street. Disneyland officials declined to comment further, leaving us to watch and wait. Stay tuned to The Disneyland View for the latest as this story develops.
