food IS a theme park
We’re suckers for original Disneyland locales, and The Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland is one of those that totally steals our hearts.

In March, Disney announced that a new Four Diamond Hotel would be opening to Disneyland Resort guests in 2021.

This new luxury resort was to be set in the Downtown Disney District, and the original plans resulted in the closure of several businesses on the west end, including Earl of Sandwich and the ESPN Zone.

So keep an eye out for Cuties to pop up at all sorts of food locations around the parks this fall. Think especially of better-for-you-fare spots like Prince Eric’s Village Market in Magic Kingdom, Anaheim Produce in Hollywood Studios, Harambe Fruit Market in Animal Kingdom and the like. Cuties will also be available as a side option for kids’ meals at select Counter Service restaurants. Guests will also see other Cuties branding in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and in Disneyland Resort. [Read more…]
