food IS a theme park
Disney may be a massive company that makes the big bucks, but even they aren’t immune to unexpected issues!
Disney is not immune to random problems!
Over the years, we’ve seen all kinds of random problems in the parks, from weather-related shutdowns to tech glitches to animatronic malfunctions. And today, a huge internet and app outage is causing some issues at Disneyland Resort!
Lots of things have changed at Disney World and Disneyland over the past several months.
Hey There Mickey!
One of the big things we’ve seen particularly in Disney World is that generally all of the restaurants that used to offer buffet-style meals have been converted to family-style meals, prix fixe menus, or a la carte dining. But, when Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at Disneyland Resort started offering its character dining breakfast/brunch again today we experienced something different.
Now that things are starting to go back to “normal” in the theme park world, we’re seeing restaurant, resort, and attraction reopenings all over the place!
Things are going back to normal!
Disneyland Resort in particular has seen quite a few things open back up in recent weeks, and now, dining reservations are available for a returning restaurant in Disney California Adventure!
We’ve seen quite a few reopening announcements at Disneyland Resort recently.Â
Disneyland Resort is reopening gradually!
It seems like everything from rides to restaurants to resorts are getting reopening dates, and we’re very excited to check it all out. Recently, it was announced that character meals are coming back to the resort, and today you can make reservations for one of those meals!
Disneyland spent most of last year closed due to the global pandemic. So its guests didn’t really get much of a 65th anniversary party, although Disney did release a ton of 65th anniversary merchandise.
Happy birthday, Disneyland!
Disneyland reopened several months ago, though, and today marks its 66th anniversary! And so far, we’ve celebrated with a very well-dressed caramel apple. But Disneyland also ended up throwing a party during a special cavalcade today!
Today, July 16th, 2021, is a very special day — this is the day that Disneyland’s reimagined Jungle Cruise attraction officially reopens!
New scene on Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise
We’ve already gotten a first look at the changes that have been made at Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise and we’ve been sharing all the details we know about the changes coming to this classic ride on both coasts. But, today we spotted something EXTRA special (and delicious) you can grab in Disneyland Park to commemorate the reopening of the ride and just celebrate your love for all things Jungle Cruise. Warning: once you see this you might not be able to resist buying it!
Planning on visiting Disneyland tomorrow, July 17th? Then there are a few things you should know!
What a Beautiful View
July 17th, 2021, marks the 66th anniversary of the Disneyland Resort! Last year we saw a number of special items released to celebrate the Resort’s 65th anniversary. This year, Disneyland will be celebrating its anniversary with something a little different and if you’re all about those special, limited-time celebrations you’ll want to make sure you know about these.
Headed to a galaxy far, far away? You’re gonna need a snack!
Galaxy’s Edge
Well lucky for you we’ve got some exciting news about one of the BEST spots to grab a quick bite in Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Let’s visit a just-reopened Kat Saka’s Kettle!
Since Disneyland initially reopened at the end of April, we’ve seen lots and lots of changes.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Not only are face masks not required anywhere in the parks for full vaccinated guests, but we’ve seen the hotels, several restaurants, and many rides reopen for guests. Fan-favorite rides like the Matterhorn Bobsleds have reopened recently, but now we’ve got an update on one of the most unique rides in Disneyland!
Things are constantly changing at the Disney parks around the world. Since Disneyland reopened in California in late April, things at the resort have changed a LOT!
Hey Mickey!
Hotels have reopened, more restaurants have become available for guests to enjoy, and a brand new land (Avengers Campus) has even opened! And while fans have been able to say hello to Mickey and other Disney friends from a distance, one big thing has been missing from Disneyland…character dining. But soon, that’s going to change!
