Disneylanders searching for a hideaway to exchange a true love’s kiss with their Princess Aurora or Prince Phillip will find a new romantic lounge in the Disneyland Hotel redesigned with the help of the good fairies Flora, Fauna and Merryweather.

The Broken Spell Lounge in the Disneyland Hotel lobby will be open daily from 4 p.m. to midnight starting on Tuesday, Oct. 22.

Steakhouse 55 in the Disneyland Hotel was an old Hollywood-inspired steakhouse with old-school waiters, dirty martinis and bone-in rib eyes. The restaurant has closed permanently and Disney is exploring how to use the space. (File photo by Cindy Yamanaka, Orange County Register/SCNG) 

Steakhouse 55 permanently closed in 2021 during the phased reopening of eateries, shops and attractions at the Disneyland resort following the yearlong COVID-19 closure of the Anaheim theme parks. The former Steakhouse 55 restaurant was eventually converted into a flexible lounge space while Walt Disney Imagineering developed a new theme for the location.
