food IS a theme park
You know what’s awesome? BEIGNETS!!!!
New Orleans cuisine in Downtown Disney
And beignets are a BIG deal over on the West Coast at Disneyland. Not only can you get Mickey-shaped beignets (at least when the parks are open), but you can also get some yummy beignets at Downtown Disney at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen.
It’s an exciting day for Star Wars fans on the West Coast!
After opening in fall 2020 in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney, Star Wars Trading Post closed just a few months later to be relocated. We’ve kept an eye on the construction and eagerly awaited its opening, and now the day is here!

We’re quickly approaching the opening date for the new Star Wars Trading Post location in Downtown Disney. The Star Wars Trading Post will open on February 19th, and guests will be able to explore the hidden Resistance jungle base in a galaxy far, far away.

Unlike Galaxy’s Edge, the jungle base storyline will be placed outside of the limits of the Star Wars timeline, so you’ll be able to buy merchandise from all different Star Wars eras! As Star Wars fans ourselves, we can’t wait to visit this place! The new location of the base is actually the former home of Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. So, how exactly did Disney transform the rainforest into a jungle from another galaxy?
Here at DFB, it’s no secret we love bread.
La Brea Bakery and Cafe

The Lunar New Year will begin on Friday, and 2021 is set to be the Year of the Ox!

A reopening date has been revealed for Starbucks in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District.
Starbucks at Downtown Disney
As you may recall, the spot was closed as on-location dining was prohibited in Downtown Disney as part of a regional stay-at-home order in Southern California which was implemented in early December. The order has since been lifted, and now a visit to the Disneyland website displays upcoming operating hours for Starbucks in Downtown Disney. [Read more…]
