food IS a theme park
Is there anything more calming than snacking on popcorn as you stroll through Disneyland? Probs not.
Disneyland Popcorn
We might not be able to get our munch on in Main Street, U.S.A. right now, but we can at least do some shopping in Downtown Disney (and Disney California Adventure soon!). If you’re missing Disneyland popcorn, you’re gonna want to see this souvenir find!
Santa Claus makes his way all around the world every December, greeting little boys and girls and asking what they want for Christmas!
Santa!
In fact, this holiday season, he’s making his way to Disneyland! Yes, the theme parks themselves may be closed down, but Santa is coming to Downtown Disney, Disneyland’s shopping and dining district!
If you’re looking to snag some special merchandise in Disneyland, you’ll definitely want to look into their exclusive, reservation-only shopping events!
Fidget pin
We’ve seen Disneyland pins, spooktacular items, and more made available through these events. Next week, Disneyland will be hosting another exclusive shopping event and you’ll definitely want to get your reservations NOW!
Downtown Disney has been open for a while, but the theme parks of Disneyland Resort may remain closed for longer than we expected.
Disney California Adventure
Today, Disneyland announced that Buena Vista Street INSIDE Disney California Adventure will open to the public for shopping and dining as an extension of Downtown Disney.
If you know us, you know we love fried dough in all its many forms.
Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen
Downtown Disney has a pretty GREAT fried dough option over at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen and it’s accompanying counter-service concept, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen Express. Yes, we’re talking BEIGNETS ladies and gents — and they just got a fall makeover!

We’re not going to lie — Baby Yoda stole our hearts during season 1 of The Mandalorian on Disney+. And we know we’re not alone, because Disney has released a TON of Baby Yoda merchandise — Pez dispensers, spirit jerseys, mugs, blankets, ornaments, and more!
Baby Yoda Blanket
We are so ready to indulge our obsession with Baby Yoda even more during The Mandalorian’s upcoming second season. And we’ve got the PERFECT headwear for watching the first episode on October 30th.
Although Disneyland and California Adventure remain closed, Downtown Disney reopened this summer. But some restaurants there are still closed and others are slowly reopening.
Tortilla Jo’s Queue
While the table service restaurant Tortilla Jo’s has reopened, its quick service location, Taqueria at Tortilla Jo’s, is still closed.
Although we have no idea when Disneyland might reopen, Downtown Disney reopened this summer, and we’ve been enjoying all the food (hello, pumpkin spice churro!) and shopping there!
