food IS a theme park
Are your Disney trips draining your wallet on the souvenir front? We may have a solution!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout
Look, cards on the table, we still get sticker shock when we look at many Disney souvenirs. That doesn’t mean we clutch our wallets, but we’re still always on the lookout for deals and savings on great Disney merch. With that in mind, we have to talk about a Disneyland souvenir that’s been incredibly affordable and right under our noses for years!
Recently, performing Cast Members at Disneyland voted to unionize with the Actors’ Equity Association. But that’s not the only union representing Cast Members in California.

These unions work to ensure the Cast Members at the Disneyland Resort have fair working conditions, favorable wages, and security in terms of living conditions. Since April 24th, 2024, four unions have been working on contract negotiations with the Disney company, but on Friday evening, July 19th, members voted to authorize a strike due to unfair labor practices.
Are you planning a trip to Disneyland?
Disneyland
We’re sure you’ve been planning to eat some of that infamous Disneyland food that we always go on about (yes, that food is AMAZING). Maybe you’ve made a list of snacks you want to try from corn dogs to churros (SO many churros) to Mickey beignets. Well, we have some bad news about some food in Disneyland: we’ve seen some price increases across the board for a lot of Disneyland restaurants and snacks.
Disney is celebrating a major milestone with a NEW ticket offer.Â
Disneyland
Walt Disney’s original theme park Disneyland first opened its gates for a media event on July 17th, 1955, before opening fully to the public on July 18th, meaning that the park just recently celebrated its 69th birthday. In honor of this anniversary — and as a way to goose summer season ticket sales — Disney has announced a corresponding ticket deal for the park’s hometown fans!
Us Disney World fans are often very jealous of Disneyland (which is why we’re often booking trips to the West Coast, too).
Disneyland
Not only does Disneyland have the BEST corndogs, churros, and snacks (we rate Disneyland #1 for food, by the way), but it also gets the BEST souvenirs. Now, granted, sometimes those souvenirs do make their way to Disney World, but sometimes that takes a while. That’s why we’re currently checking flights to Anaheim because Disney just dropped a look at a new souvenir that is a 100% MUST-HAVE.
Target Circle Week is officially upon us!

If you’re a Target Circle member (which is free to join), you can take advantage of awesome deals all week through July 13th. There’s deals on Disney souvenirs, trip essentials, and more! We also spotted a new deal for anyone looking to purchase tickets to Disneyland!
Halloween may still be many months away, but the Disney parks have already started preparing!
Halloween in Disneyland!
We saw tons of new updates released for the Halloween festivities that we will be able to find in both Disneyland and Disney World this year, and tickets have been on sale for the events on each coast for a few weeks now. If you were hoping to head to Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland this year, we hope you already got your tickets, because they’re SOLD OUT!
When there’s new food announced at a Disney park, you know we’re right there ready to report on it.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
As much as we love our tried and true menu favorites at restaurants throughout Disney World and Disneyland, we do enjoy news of brand-new food items to try during our next trip (because they might become our new favorites!). Disney has just announced a new lunch menu at Disneyland Resort and we are hyped for all they have to offer.
We are constantly visiting both Disney World and Disneyland and one thing is for certain — both resorts are VASTLY different!
Disneyland
Disney World and Disneyland have a ton of differences. Featuring different accommodations, attractions, dining options, and entertainment, visiting each resort will result in wildly different experiences. In fact, if you’re a Disney World pro planning a trip to Disneyland, there’s one major rule you can almost always ignore!
Could Disneyland be seeing a massive entertainment shift soon?
Disneyland
When Walt Disney said that Disneyland would never be completed, he was probably alluding to upgrades and land expansions — an influx of creativity. However, it’s unlikely he anticipated tons of entertainment leaving Disneyland, with nothing anticipated to take its place. In fact, this exodus of entertainment could be getting worse VERY SOON.
