A new section opened beside Avengers Campus for added space and food options.
Looking at that video I can't tell will it be another pathway that can take you into AC or is it just isolated and a dead end for guests? It's a little space but clearly designed for something there and I assume more than just selling food and drinks. But always love the extra little mile they go.

Oh, you're right! It's just a little cul-de-sac dead end.
With Tuscany! paving stones from Home Depot, paired against the old insect rockwork themed to A Bug's Life. And Christmas themed hot dog n' churro carts. Plus the obligatory Dockers clad middle managers standing around with their backs turned to everyone.
How odd. They must have installed this for some reason. An outlet to a back of house kitchen? A relief valve for food festivals? An extra little area to... put churro carts? Because there was a sale on patio pavers at Home Depot?
But thank God some lifestyle blogger all masked up in her Scion was still able to make a 13 minute video about it!

Yes. You can tell by the orientation you are to the Building.

So apparently, Newsom is threatening to unleash a new stay-at-home order. Would that affect even this partial reopening of DCA and Downtown Disney. I have a feeling that it will.
Could be.
But you know, people are largely being cautious. Humans are both naturally curious and cautious, self preservation is strong, that's why the species has survived.
The tyrants have no self restraint and think the rest of us are like them. So they seek to FORCE caution onto us.
Just look at the excuses some of them have for their massless dining, travel, etc: "I went before the new rules" So what you have is so called leader preaching to us everyday how dangerous life is now, telling us to stay home, be cautious, take the pain, all the while they go about they lives with ease. Think about that: These mayors etc were out and about going to parties, traveling, all of that WHILE AT THE SAME TIME telling us how dangerous these actives were. This is not just about violating their own rules, some have some haven't, it's as much if not more about how they themselves simply do not practice what they preach. Laws, rules, ethics, proper conduct, these things are for the little people, NOT elected and un elected public officials, celebrities, etc.
Next time you see some rich person telling you what to give up, ask yourself: What have THEY given up? Nothing. Those that preach the loudest about YOU giving up your life, your travel, your car, your cheap energy, all of that, they give up NOTHING. And laugh at you all the way to the bank.
bringing together the integration of theme and sense of place and all the rest of the standard script that everyone quotes from the booksIt would be hysterical if Ken Potrock could invite Cynthia Harriss to come visit the Buena Vista Street Social Distance Mall, Presented by Huawei and see her vision finally come to life. A shopping mall entirely devoid of expensive entertainment, costly attractions, and profit-sucking overhead.
This was what Cynthia dreamed of in 1999, but never saw it come to life. She deserves this.
Just refuse to stay home anyway. Get out, walk around town, doesn't matter if shops are closed or not. Get out of the house. Don't allow tyrants to declare your life unessential.
When did "tyrant" become a democratically elected position?

The problem is Disney may not have a choice here.
OK thank you! And I seen another vlogger video on it who made it clear according to who they talked to this spot has nothing to do with AC at all and will be used for exactly what you said, for things like food and wine. It makes sense or why have two entrances to the same land literally right next to each other.
The irony of this post is they also literally said to do that. You can and should get out and walk around and get air. They are encouraging people to do those things. I think this is just about having too many people in your house who doesn't live there. That seems to be the issue more than anything. But that said, I don't understand why they would take away dining outdoors?
It doesn't sound like it's affecting actual stores. And AFAIK it hasn't affected outdoor dining....at least not yet. But in L.A., that's already been affected.

Governor Newsom' Regional orders will end Outdoor Dining when the ICU capacity drops under 15%.
Retail would be at 20% of Capacity.
Southern California will likely face tighter coronavirus restrictions soon under new state order – Orange County Register (ocregister.com)

Does that mean that Newsom will indeed ban outdoor dining with this order?

Yes, if the Region falls below the 15% available ICU beds.
