food IS a theme park
So many of us Disney fans have rooms in our house devoted to the Mouse and everything else Disney. Or ENTIRE houses devoted to Disney. Or we, at least, have lots of Disney stuff spread throughout our homes (guilty!!!).
SO much Disney stuff!
After all, Disney makes it way too easy to get Disney kitchenware, bedroom gear, and more.
You know what’s awesome? BEIGNETS!!!!
New Orleans cuisine in Downtown Disney
And beignets are a BIG deal over on the West Coast at Disneyland. Not only can you get Mickey-shaped beignets (at least when the parks are open), but you can also get some yummy beignets at Downtown Disney at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen.
Disneyland has been closed for almost a full year now.
Disneyland is closed
While local officials have voted in favor to speed the reopening of large California theme parks, Disney has announced some changes that will affect many of Disneyland’s guests. One of those changes was the cancellation of the Disneyland Annual Passholder program.
After being closed for nearly a year, Disneyland announced the end of their annual pass program.

Even though there is a new membership program in the works, and previous annual passholders are now referred to as Legacy Passholders, there are still lots of questions to be answered. Now, we’ve got another update on the future of Disneyland passholders.Â
We’re nearing a year since Disneyland closed down due to the global pandemic.

Although Downtown Disney and Disney California Adventure’s Buena Vista Street are open to guests for shopping and dining, it’s been a long time since anyone has had the full experience of the Disneyland Resort theme parks. After receiving strict reopening guidelines from the State of California back in October of 2020, Anaheim officials are in support of accelerating Disneyland and other Southern California theme park reopening.
In just a few weeks, the Star Wars Trading Post will reopen at its new spot in Downtown Disney in California.
Star Wars Trading Post Progress
While most guests will get the chance to visit it on February 19th, Disneyland Legacy Passholders can preview this spot a few days early. And now, reservations for this special Passholder preview are available!
Ever wished you could step back into the time of classic TV sitcoms just like Wanda and Vision seemingly have in WandaVision?

The theme park opened as an extension of Disneyland in 2001. (Can you believe it’s really been 20 years??) Of course, Disneyland is celebrating the theme park’s birthday with loads of goodies. We stopped at Disneyland Resort to check out all the limited-edition merchandise!
With the stay-at-home order now lifted, guests can once again eat and drink at Disneyland Resort.
Carthay Circle at California Adventure
Recently, we saw a few restaurants announce when they would reopen for in-person dining and dining reservations became available at those spots. We then shared that Carthay Circle Lounge would be reopening soon for its Alfresco dining experience, and two other Disney restaurants would be reopening on Buena Vista Street. Well, if you’ve been wanting to make reservations for Carthay Circle, the wait is over! Reservations for this Disney spot are now available.
Here at DFB, we’re big fans of seasonal Disney snacks, and we know our readers are too!
