Disney’s Haunted Mansion movie premieres on July 28th. Although a movie premiere was set to happen in Disneyland on July 15th, the SAG-AFTRA strike prevented the film’s cast from attending the premiere. The premiere DID happen, though, but Disney replaced the actors with characters.
What kind of snack does a superhero stop for during a day at Disney California Adventure?
Avengers Campus
With all of the fuss over the upcoming San Fransokyo Square and Tiana’s Palace set to open soon, there hasn’t been much news over by Avengers Campus… or so we thought! On a recent trip out to save the world with our favorite superheroes, we stopped taking a bite out of crime long enough to take a bite out of a new snack! [Read more…]
Big changes are happing in Disney parks all around the world, and ver in Disneyland, a brand new land is under construction — San Fransokyo Square.
San Fransokyo Bridge construction
That’s right, Pacific Wharf is being transformed into the city from Big Hero 6. In addition to a new look, we’ll also be getting some new restaurants in San Fransokyo. We recently got a look at the new menus coming to all five new restaurants, and now we’ve got a first look at some of those eats!
There is a LOT going on in Disneyland, and we just got even MORE exciting news!
San Fransokyo theming
So we’ve been patiently waiting for an opening date for some new Downtown Disney restaurants. We SHOULD get an opening date soon for the new Tiana-themed restaurant in Disneyland. Disney previously revealed that its NEW land, San Fransokyo Square, would open soon, but now we have a specific opening date!

The live-action The Little Mermaid kicked off a season filled with additions from the Fast & the Furious and Transformers franchises, as well as another film from Pixar. To round out the summer, we’ll get the highly-anticipated Barbie movie from Greta Gerwig and Disney’s new film Haunted Mansion. And if you’re really excited about that last one, we’ve got some news for you!
We KNOW it’s still July, but that doesn’t mean that we have to wait to get prepped for spooky season!
Halloween in Disneyland Resort
Disney kicks off Halloween celebrations in Magic Kingdom in August (which is NEXT MONTH!) and Disneyland Resort starts celebrating in September. One of the big ways that the west coast celebrates is with the very popular Oogie Boogie Bash event — and we’ve got some important news about that party.
This might be the most adorable news that we could get this week!

Pixar Pier at California Adventure
Why? Because we’re about to hit you with our reviews of THREE new Disney California Adventure snacks. And, well, we’re still recovering from Oogie Boogie Bash ticket sales (y’all, it was NOT pretty). So yes, we’re just eating our feelings at this point, right after we meet up with Indiana Jones. Now on with the reviews…
Oogie Boogie Bash is a very popular Halloween party that takes place at Disneyland Resort. Tickets for the event went on sale to the general public (after Magic Key Holder tickets sold out in the pre-sale), and it’s safe to say that things did NOT go well.
Parade Time!
Only a short time after we joined the queue, we got a notification informing us that ticket sales had been temporarily paused. But several hours after that update, Disney updated the page once again to inform us that the temporary pause will actually last MUCH longer than we expected. [Read more…]
