food IS a theme park
The theme parks at Disneyland Resort have reopened, along with the Downtown Disney District and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel.
Disneyland Hotel
Soon, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will be reopening, and earlier today Disney announced that the Disneyland Hotel will soon welcome guests again. But, the Disneyland Hotel will look a little different than how we left it!
Disneyland is continuing with its phased reopening!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Right now, the parks are welcoming guests, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel is open. And now, another Disneyland hotel has announced a reopening date!
Avengers Campus is opening on June 4th, and we’re getting EXCITED.

We’ve already learned lots about the food, the rides, and more! But today, we’re talking merch. Disney’s recently shared what gear we can grab once Avengers Campus opens, and there’s a LOT of it.
Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders have had quite the year — first with the parks closing, then having to figure out the chaos of AP payments and renewals, and then the passholder program was canceled altogether in January of 2021.Â
It has been a wild year!
Since then, Disney has been offering those who formerly held annual passes (now called Legacy Passholders) a few perks, including discounts, special merchandise, and unique dining opportunities. The perks continue today, with another opportunity to snag the Legacy Passholder Mickey magnet!
There’s a spooky returning snack in Disneyland!
Haunted Mansion
We’ve seen quite a few versions of a Haunted Mansion wedding cake on both coasts, from Constance’s For Better or For Worse Wedding Cake in Magic Kingdom to a cherry-inspired wedding cake in Disneyland (We’ve even seen a holiday version!). And now, one of those creepy eats is BACK.
For months, we’ve been monitoring the reopening guidelines in California and seen how Orange County, where Disneyland Resort is located, has progressed through California’s reopening tiers.

Most recently, Orange County was in California’s Orange Tier, but now things are changing in a way that could cause increases in capacity at Disneyland.
In Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you can find gear for both Jedi and Sith.
Galaxy’s Edge
And that includes lightsabers! We’ve previously seen hilts for Rey, General Leia Organa, and Count Dooku. And now, there’s an EPIC new option.
Hello from Disneyland!
Disneyland
We’ve been visiting regularly since the park’s reopening to keep you up to date on any changes that may affect your trip. And today, we noticed that it was CROWDED! Now, Disneyland is still required to operate at 25% capacity based on Orange County’s COVID-19 case count (and various other factors), so we have not seen a capacity increase recently. Still, we’re taking you along to see just how crazy things are lookin’ today!
We’re getting close to the opening of Avengers Campus!

We’ve peeked inside the land, taken a first look at all the menus, and even gotten some behind-the-scenes updates! But of course, we’re here to talk about all the FOOD. And guys…we’ve gotta be real with ya. The eats here are looking pricey.
When Disneyland reopened, some of its restaurants did not. However, that’s all about to change! FOUR restaurants at Disneyland Resort will be reopening soon!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Alfresco Tasting Terrace reopens on May 20th (exclusively to Legacy Passholders and their guests), Blue Bayou reopens on May 27th, Napa Rose reopens for dinner on May 28th, and Storytellers Cafe reopens for breakfast and dinner on May 28th.
