Lamplight Lounge Opening

[Abbey1]

My family is taking a California road trip this June, and we had planned on visiting Universal for a day instead of Disneyland for a change of pace. But with the announcement of Bug’s Land closing, we have decided to change plans to visit DCA to ride Heimlich’s one last time (and to see PTN, which is my favorite).

We are already locked into our schedule, since we had to reserve a campsite in Yosemite back in January and there’s no way to switch our dates around. If I had known we’d be visiting Disney, I would have planned better to be able to visit after Pixar Pier opened to check out all of the new additions.

I was so bummed to hear that Cove Bar was closing and am excited to try Lamplight Lounge (especially now that they’ve confirmed the lobster nachos will be available). I was wondering if they ever do “soft openings” for new restaurants. I know that they sometimes open the food and wine booths a day or two earlier than the official start, but what are the odds that the lounge will be open earlier (specifically a week early). Anyone have any insight?

Sorry if I missed this from an earlier post...have they given a specific "opening date" for Lamplight Lounge?
TOTALLY dying for lobster nachos!

I would not think there's much chance of it being open a full week early. A few days early is definitely possible, but probably not more than a few, and not a whole extra weekend, you know?

Good job scoring a Yosemite campsite, by the way!

It is opening June 23rd along with the rest of Pixar Pier. The lobster nachos are the best!

Shoot! That’s what I figured, but I don’t have much experience with soft openings.

Thanks, we are super excited to visit Yosemite!

It's very unlikely to open early since they are reopening the lounge through May. They will need those 4 weeks to change everything over.

Cove Bar has reopened and is open thru Memorial Day weekend. It will then reclose and open with Pixar Pier.
