food IS a theme park
If you’re planning a 2023 trip to Disneyland, there are some big updates you need to know about!
Disneyland
We’ve finally got an opening date for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland, Sleeping Beauty Castle will get a new look for the 100th anniversary, and we’ve got all kinds of details about the 100th anniversary celebrations coming to Disneyland. But now we’ve got more details that could impact your trip planning.
During the 2022 D23 Expo, we learned just some details about what Disney was planning for the Disney 100 Years of Wonder Celebration for the Walt Disney Company.

But, other than a logo and a few brief details about the fact that there WAS going to be a celebration, Disney was quiet — until now, that is! Disney has officially announced that Disneyland will be the heart of this celebration — and now we know exactly when that will begin!
Disney has packed the parks with some spooky Halloween treats!
Black Widow Tart
Of course, there are tooooons of traditional options to choose from, like Pumpkin beignets. They also have some divisive snacks, like the Candy Corn Almond Cake. There are even some ghost pepper snacks for the more adventurous eaters. But how about Halloween treats that are…actually scary? Yeah, Disney California Adventure has a milkshake that — well…you can just take a look for yourself.
Genie+ is CHANGING in Disneyland.

Genie+ is the PAID FastPass+ replacement service that can help you skip the lines at some of your favorite rides throughout the parks. We’ve already shared a comprehensive guide to Genie+ and a look at how the service is different in Disney World vs. Disneyland, but now something is changing for Genie+ users on the west coast.
What’s up, Disneyland fans?
Halloween Time at Disneyland
Are you taking advantage of that new deal for holiday hotel discounts to plan a Disneyland trip? Or are you headed to Disneyland soon to enjoy Halloween Time and Oogie Boogie Bash? Well, we’re here with all the latest updates from Disney’s resort on the West Coast!Â
So many people overlook Disneyland in favor of Disney World — but most people don’t know that Disneyland is small but mighty!

We’re constantly visiting both Disney World and Disneyland to find out everything that’s new and Disneyland has been BUSY. We got an update about the MagicBand+, a NEW boutique opened, and a NEW character meet-and-greet popped up. Find out all the deets here!
Disneyland Resort has three hotels that offer incredible amenities and locations to the parks — but when we say they come at a COST, we mean it.
Disneyland Hotel
Both Disney World and Disneyland hotels are typically a little more (okay, some are a LOT more) expensive than your average hotel, but you’re paying to stay close to Disney Parks and for other amenities and perks like Early Theme Park Entry. If you prefer to stay close to the parks, Disney is now offering a hotel deal for Disneyland hotel guests — but not everyone qualifies!
The D23 Expo came and went, and with it came a few BIG announcements.
Hulk Meet and Greet Character
Not only did Disney announce a new Big Hero 6 area for Disney California Adventure but they also shared that the Magic Happens Parade would be returning, a new look at the concept art for Toontown, AND the fact that two new nighttime spectaculars would be debuting at Disneyland Resort soon. On top of this, we got to see a first look at Project EXO and how it would impact character interactions in the park with Hulk. Now, Hulk is out meeting guests for the first time.
We are still processing all of the news that came out of the D23 Expo about Disneyland.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
We enjoyed seeing more concept art of what the reimagined ToonTown is going to look like, we learned that a new Princess and the Frog store will be opening soon, and we can’t WAIT to see more about the new attraction coming to Avengers Campus. In the meantime, though, there’s still a lot of new stuff happening around Disneyland every day, so let’s get to the updates!
We’re constantly on the lookout for new and exciting experiences in Disney parks.
