Disneyland has already had some exciting news this week!

Thanks to the D23 Expo, we’ve already got a new look at the reimagining of Mickey’s ToonTown, we’ve learned about an expansion to Avengers Campus which will include a new attraction, AND we got an opening date for a brand new Tiana-themed store! But there’s still loads to get caught up on in Disneyland, so let’s get to even MORE updates!
Are you a runner? Do you participate in runDisney events?

Have you ever been in any of the runDisney races in Disney World? Believe it or not, there USED to be runDisney events in Disneyland, too, but those paused back in 2017. However, Disney has announced that runDisney events will return to Disneyland!
Nighttime shows are a lot of guests’ favorite parts of a Disney park day.
Disneyland Forever at Disneyland
At Disney World, you can catch Harmonious in EPCOT and Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom. In Disneyland, you can currently catch Disneyland Forever and see many other shows throughout the year, including the new fireworks show that’s debuting in January 2023 for The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary!
Ready for some more D23 Expo excitement?!

Yes, we’ve already told you all about the movies, trailers, and other media reveals at the event. But how about Disneyland Resort news?! Well, buckle up, as we’re about to bring you some new announcements for the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort!
Have you been following along with all the D23 Expo announcements? If you have, you’ll know that Disneyland is getting a LOT of updates!
We love Disneyland!
Splash Mountain is becoming Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (in both Disneyland and Disney World), and we got a first look at the model for the new attraction. Disneyland is also getting a Tiana’s Palace restaurant along with a Princess and the Frog-themed gift shop. There’s an expansion coming to Avenger’s Campus as well! But now there’s been ANOTHER announcement about something new coming to Disneyland! [Read more…]
Ever since Disney announced that Splash Mountain at both Disney World and Disneyland would be replaced by a Princess and the Frog-themed ride, details have been pretty scarce.
So cool!
We know that the ride will be opening in 2024 and will be called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, we also got a look at what Tiana herself will look like during the ride along with some other concept art, and a first look at the ride, but now we have more information about the re-theme and a more specific opening timeline.
Although Mickey’s Toontown was once a destination in both Disney World and Disneyland, it’s now only located in Disneyland, where it’s undergoing a huge transformation.
See ya soon, Toontown!
Toontown, tucked away in the back of Disneyland Park, closed on March 9th, 2022, and Disney announced plans to add new, interactive spaces, as well as Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, which you can also find in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney previously said that ToonTown would reopen sometime in early 2023, and now we have a few new looks at Toontown!
This is the way — if you’re a Star Wars fan, you know that phrase from The Mandalorian on Disney+. You’re also familiar with Din Djarin and his companion, Grogu (aka Baby Yoda).

If you’re like us, you’ve been collecting all the Grogu merchandise you can get your hands on — the plushes, the spirit jerseys, the pins, and more! Well, you’ll soon be able to MEET Grogu — and Din — in Disneyland Resort!
It has been QUITE A NIGHT! We’ve had so many fun announcements come out of the D23 Expo already — from updates on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to the unveiling of the new EPCOT statue of Walt, we’ve already had a blast and there’s so much more to come!
One BIG announcement was the opening of a brand new Tiana-themed store coming to Disneyland — Eudora’s Chic Boutique. And now we have an opening date!
Eudora’s Chic Boutique
Eudora’s Chic Boutique, according to the backstory, grew out of the huge success of Tiana’s Palace — a restaurant created by the Princess herself! This shop will sell a variety of accessories to create and serve New Orleans-inspired cuisine…including ingredients!
One area of Disneyland is going through a HUGE transformation.
See ya soon!
Mickey’s Toontown closed back in March in Disneyland Park for a complete reimagining, and we’ve heard all about the new details as well as that the area may be expected to reopen in 2023. Now we have a few MORE updates thanks to the D23 Expo, and here’s what you need to know!
