food IS a theme park
Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort is undergoing a massive transformation.
Downtown Disney
We’ve already seen parts of it come to fruition with the new Din Tai Fung restaurant, Paseo, Centrico, and Tiendita from Chef Jose Andres, and more. But, it doesn’t sound like Disney has plans to stop this transformation anytime soon because we’ve got even more restaurants and shops to tell you about!
‘Tis the season…
Disneyland
Believe it or not, the holidays are almost here. While Halloween Time has essentially just begun at Disneyland, we can’t help but think ahead to the Christmas season that follows right behind it! Disney recently released some first looks at all the new holiday experiences and returning festive favorites coming back to the resort this year. Let’s dive in!
When it comes to food, we see changes ALL the time all over Disney World and Disneyland.
Starbucks in Downtown Disney
We’ve seen entire menus change (and sometimes NOT for the better…yes, Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom, we’re looking at you). We’ve seen some of our favorite foods disappear (although, in one case, one of our fave snacks DID actually return). We also see a ton of price increases, especially around this time of year. Speaking of which, we’re sorry to report that we just noticed a TON of price increases at Starbucks locations in Disneyland.
Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort is home to many different delicious restaurants and exciting shopping excursions that make for a great break from the Disneyland parks while still experiencing Disney magic.
New Downtown Disney Entrance
Since things are almost always changing in Disney resorts, we’re looking forward to some new additions that are being added to the area over the course of the coming years. And now we finally have an opening timeline for this new restaurant!
D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is nearly here and with it comes some exciting deals!
D23
The D23 Disney fan expo is headed to Anaheim from August 9th to August 11th, 2024 and we can’t wait for what’s in store. From entertainment announcements to the reveal of new theme park improvements, we’re on the edge of our seats waiting to see Disney’s future plans. If you’re in town visiting the Disneyland Resort for the event, not only will you be treated to first looks, but you’ll also get some pretty sweet perks!
Spooky season is here, and we are so ready!
Mickey pumpkin in Disneyland
It won’t be long until we see that giant Mickey pumpkin on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland. Halloween snacks and drinks are just around the corner, as is pumpkin spice season, and the first Oogie Boogie Bash is coming up soon. Halloween merchandise has already started to appear, but there’s one new spooky collection that select Disneyland visitors will get early access to.
Are you planning a trip to Disneyland?
Disneyland
We’re sure you’ve been planning to eat some of that infamous Disneyland food that we always go on about (yes, that food is AMAZING). Maybe you’ve made a list of snacks you want to try from corn dogs to churros (SO many churros) to Mickey beignets. Well, we have some bad news about some food in Disneyland: we’ve seen some price increases across the board for a lot of Disneyland restaurants and snacks.
Are you looking for good dining deals at Disneyland? One of Downtown Disney’s newest restaurants has you covered!

We are constantly visiting both Disney World and Disneyland and one thing is for certain — both resorts are VASTLY different!
Disneyland
Disney World and Disneyland have a ton of differences. Featuring different accommodations, attractions, dining options, and entertainment, visiting each resort will result in wildly different experiences. In fact, if you’re a Disney World pro planning a trip to Disneyland, there’s one major rule you can almost always ignore!
Come with us to Disneyland to check out the resort’s newest restaurant!
Downtown Disney
We headed over to Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District to try its newest restaurant offering — Din Tai Fung! This award-winning, family-owned restaurant is known for its dumplings and already has several locations in California. Now, it’s available at Disneyland!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
