Halloween has been creeping into Disney Parks!
Halloween merchandise has arrived in Disneyland!
We’ve already seen it in full force in Disney World, but we’ve also seen Halloween merchandise starting to turn up in Disneyland. We can’t wait for the first Oogie Boogie Bash next month, and we’re ready to ride Haunted Mansion Holiday again! For now, though, let’s see what’s new in Disneyland!
One of the most iconic snacks you can get in Disney Parks is the beloved Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar.
Mickey Premium Bar
The Mickey Bar is so popular that we’ve seen it in grocery stores, as well as on Disney merchandise. It even got a 50th anniversary upgrade in Disney World! However, there is now a full COLLECTION of Mickey Bar merchandise, and it’s available in Disney Parks!
We have some FANTASTIC news for you!
Galaxy’s Edge
Before we can get straight into the news, you’ll need a bit of background information. One of the most beloved cocktails in Disney World and Disneyland is the Fuzzy Tauntaun. This drink — found at Oga’s Cantina in Galaxy’s Edge — sadly went MISSING from Disneyland back in May this year, and then it disappeared from Disney World in June. However, now we’re happy to report that the drink is BACK — at least in one of the parks!
Disney’s most recent earning call — for the 3rd quarter of 2022 — provided several interesting insights about The Walt Disney Company. We learned that Disney+ gained 14 million subscribers in the previous quarter, bringing the total number of subscribers to over 152 million. We also learned that revenue from the Disney parks increased by $4.3 billion. But not all of the reports were in Disney’s favor.

Although many parts of The Walt Disney Company seem to be reporting increased profits and steady demand from their respective audiences, there was one area where Disney fell short of its expectations. [Read more…]
Okay, if you’re like us, you’re asking every Disney photographer to hook you up with ALL the PhotoPass Magic Shots, right?

We’ve seen so many fun ones — at Disney World, there have been some gorgeous 50th anniversary Magic Shots. At Disney World AND Disneyland, we saw some pretty rainbow shots for Pride Month. Now, though, one of the Guardians of the Galaxy has his own Magic Shot!
The status of Disneyland’s annual pass program is a bit of a mystery right now.
Exclusive Magic Key Lounge
Magic Key Passes (the updated version of Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program) were introduced in 2021. Some sold out and pass sales were later paused. So no new Magic Key passes are being sold at the moment. But what if you already bought a pass before and want to renew it? There are a lot of questions there. Today we’re breaking down what we know.
Just so you know, it’s almost Halloween Time in Disneyland.
Disneyland!
We’re gearing up for the first Oogie Boogie Bash, we’re ready to ride Haunted Mansion Holiday, and we can’t wait to see all the Halloween decor in both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. So we’re checking often to see what’s new there.

It may still be fall, but we’re already thinking about the holiday season in the Disney parks!
Holidays in Disneyland
Over in Disney World, we can expect Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays to bring us all sorts of exclusive entertainment and fun. But over in Disneyland, the parks will be transformed into The Merriest Place on Earth yet again — and we’re sharing all the details!
The holiday season will be here before we know it, so it’s time to start making plans!

Last year, there were a bunch of things happening over at Disneyland Resort, like Disney Merriest Nites, the Candlelight Processional, and the holiday parade! While we’re still waiting for confirmation on some of those events, we DO know that the Festival of Holidays will be returning over in Disney California Adventure Park. And now, we have the official DATES of the festival!
