food IS a theme park
Welcome back to another weekly roundup of park hours and Park Pass Reservation availability at Disney World!
EPCOT
We’re right in the middle of spring break, and as you’ll see, Disney is preparing for another busy week ahead!
We’re LIVE from the first day of A Touch of Disney in California Adventure — that’s right, we’re BACK inside a Disneyland theme park (well, a FULL Disneyland theme park) for the first time in over a year!
A Touch of Disney
There may not be any rides available at this event, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less popular. Tickets for the event sold out in less than a day, so we knew the crowds would show up! But just how busy is it inside this limited-capacity event? Let’s find out!
Disneyland Resort’s theme parks have been closed for OVER a year (except for the limited reopening of Buena Vista Street as an extension of Downtown Disney)! The parks are set to reopen in just over a month. But, today, we’re back exploring all of Disney California Adventure Park through the “A Touch of Disney” ticketed event.
Golden Dreams Booth
While rides won’t be available during this ticketed event, there are character interactions, a fun soundtrack, and…FOOOOOOD! A Touch of Disney includes several different food booths, including one called “Golden Dreams” which features some favorites from AROUND Disneyland Resort! Will this booth make all of our dreams come true? There’s only one way to find out!
We are BACK inside Disney California Adventure, to quote Anna, “for the first time in forever!”
A Touch of Disney
Over one year after Disneyland’s closures began, we’re kicking off the start of A Touch of Disney — a ticketed food and shopping event that’s reuniting us with some of our favorite Disneyland dishes, drinks, and more!
Alright folks, you may want to sit down for this one. We’ve seen some bizarre Disney World souvenirs over the years, but nothing quite compares to what you can find at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
While we were checking out Wilderness Lodge Mercantile today to scope out the latest must-haves, we came across our favorite collection of chapsticks.
Mark your calendars — Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will reopen to guests on April 30th, 2021! Over a year after the park closures began, we’ll finally be able to once again ride our favorite rides, wave to our favorite characters, and eat our favorite dishes!

In addition to all of the Dole Whip and Corn Dogs we’re going to eat when the parks reopen, we’re also looking forward to revisiting some of our favorite restaurants!
Are you wearing your green today? We’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Disney World by trying some of the seasonal offerings around the parks and resorts!
Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew
There are a lot of festivities happening over at Disney Springs, so we stopped by Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew to check out a limited-time snack combo!
This has been QUITE the morning for Disneyland fans! After a closure that will have lasted over an entire year, Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will welcome back guests on Friday, April 30th.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
Needless to say, there are TONS of things we’re excited to experience once the parks reopen, from the rides to snacks to characters, and much more! There’s one ride in particular that we’re excited to see once again, especially when you consider that it went down for a major refurbishment months before Disneyland’s closures even began!
WOW! What an exciting morning for Disneyland fans — a reopening date for both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure has been announced!

There will be several health and safety guidelines in place when both parks open, which is scheduled to take place on April 30th.
California theme parks are preparing to reopen after the state government modified their guidance. Now, large theme parks like Disneyland can reopen as early as April 1st with limited capacity once their county enters the Red tier. Orange County, where Disneyland is located, officially entered the Red tier this past weekend.
Disneyland Gate
While Disneyland aims for a late April reopening, it may come with a shocking twist: silence!
