food IS a theme park
Hello from the West Coast!!!
It’s Tink!
We’ve been hanging around Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and the rest of the Disneyland Resort to see what’s been happening and what’s new. So let’s get on to some updates!
Disney has been known to be a socially conscious company.
Rainbow Dome Cake
Most recently, Disney dropped gender-specific pronouns from its pre-fireworks announcements. The company also embraces Pride Month (and releases a TON of rainbow merchandise AND snacks in honor of it). Now, Disneyland has embraced diversity with mannequins!
Disneyland has officially launched their Magic Key Pass Program and a lot of people are wondering what kind of perks come with it.

There was a long wait for people purchasing Disneyland’s Magic Key passes, but if you got through you may have been able to check out the new Magic Key Portal, where Disneyland lists a lot of new perks for Magic Key holders. We’re here to discuss all the current perks that come with Disneyland’s Magic Key passes, so read on if you want to know more!
Many things have been returning to Disneyland Resort lately!
Disney California Adventure is ready for Halloween!
Several restaurants are back open, we’ve seen the return of buffets, fireworks are back, and we’ll soon see the return of Oogie Boogie Bash! As things continue to open back up, we’ve also seen the return of entertainment, and we now have an update about the return of some iconic Main Street, U.S.A. performers at Disneyland Park!
This year, you can celebrate all things spooky at Disney California Adventure with the return of a special Halloween party — Oogie Boogie Bash!
This is Halloween!
Oogie Boogie Bash is a separate ticketed event where guests will get the chance to experience interactive trick-or-treat trails, see some frighteningly fun entertainment, check out the Villains Grove maze which is filled with villainous scenes, and more. But, Disney is making things extra spooky this year by adding in 3 NEW villains to the Oogie Boogie Bash scene!
UPDATE: Disneyland’s calendar is now showing operating hours for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad on November 5th, 2021.
In Disney World and Disneyland we see rides close periodically for refurbishment.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Right now, The Haunted Mansion is closed for scheduled maintenance in Disneyland as it becomes Haunted Mansion Holiday. This spooktacular attraction is scheduled to reopen on Friday, September 3rd. But, just a few days after Haunted Mansion reopens, another fan-favorite Disneyland ride is set to close for refurbishment.Â
Disneyland Resort recently announced their new Annual Passholder program — Magic Key.

Magic Key has 4 different keys (or tiers) available that each offer a different amount of benefits: the Dream Key, Believe Key, Enchant Key, and Imagine Key. The passes officially go on sale this week, so we’re here to tell you WHERE to buy Magic Key!
We are learning a LOT about Disney Genie today and we’re EXTRA interested in Genie+, the PAID Fastpass+ and MaxPass replacement.
Disneyland
Genie+ will be the new offering in Disney World and Disneyland that lets guests skip the standby line and go straight into a Lightning Lane (AKA former FASTPASS queue) to access attractions. It’s the next generation of MaxPass as it is a paid offering, but how is it different from MaxPass? Let’s take a look.
Disneyland sure knows how to enhance their treats! We’ve seen shiny new popcorn buckets and over-the-top hot dogs before, but now we’ve spotted something new.
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream
We visited Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream at Disney California Adventure Park recently, and we were ready to cool off with a sweet treat. While we were there, we found a fun, new way to hold our snack!
Greetings from the West Coast, DFBers!
