food IS a theme park
Sometimes, you just need a lil’ taste of Disneyland, even while the theme parks are still closed. Luckily, we can always head on over to Downtown Disney, the Disneyland Resort’s shopping and dining district.
Downtown Disney!
So, what’s new at Downtown Disney?!
Earlier this year, it was announced that Splash Mountain in both Disney World and Disneyland would be re-themed to a Princess and the Frog attraction.

Since that announcement, we’ve seen Splash Mountain merchandise flying off the shelves in Disney World (although some was recently restocked). Now, it seems some references to Splash Mountain have disappeared over at Disneyland.

Walt Disney World has implemented many health and safety procedures due to the global health crisis.
Hand Sanitizer
And along with the new procedures, numerous hand sanitizer stations were installed throughout Disney World property.
However, even with the increased cleaning and added sanitizer stations, we still found ourselves reaching for our own bottle of hand sani throughout the day! We’ve been all over Disney World since the July 2020 reopening and discovered there are a few reasons why you might consider bringing your own sanitizer into the parks!Â
The new Oogie Boogie dress we found at the Downtown Disney District yesterday really put us in a SPIN!
