food IS a theme park
It’s a special time of year in Disneyland. Halloween Time starts soon!
Halloween decorations are starting to appear!
If you’ve ever been to Disneyland during Halloween, you’ll know that both parks go ALL out with the decorations, merchandise, and snacks. Plus there’s the Oogie Boogie Bash to look forward to! But for now, we’re just cruising through the parks looking for new food and merchandise.
Planning a Disney trip can be STRESSFUL. You’ve got to think about hotel reservations, where to eat, and getting those park passes before they run out. That’s why many people plan their Disney vacation several months or even years in advance.

With so much to think about, it’s best to start planning as early as possible. So if you’re hoping to visit Disneyland sometime in 2023, we’ve got important news for you! [Read more…]
Disneyland has changed dramatically over the last several decades, and now it has changed again thanks to something central to the American legal system — a lawsuit.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
A $5 million lawsuit started by just one Disneyland Magic Key passholder has had dramatic effects on the Happiest Place on Earth. An entire form of annual pass will no longer be offered, there is a LOT of language explaining all the ins and outs of the system now, and other changes have been made. Come with us as we explore the ways that this one little filing has changed an offering from one of the country’s largest companies.
If you are a Magic Key Passholder, there is BIG news you need to know about.

Magic Key Passes (annual passes to Disneyland) began being sold in 2021, some sold out, and later sales were entirely stopped for all pass types. With expiration dates coming up (or already passed), Magic Key Passholders (annual passsholders to Disneyland Resort) had been left “anxiously awaiting word about their renewals,” but now Disney has finally shared an update.
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…]
