food IS a theme park
For all the classic Disney movie and Disney Princess fans out there, we’ve got a spot you HAVE to visit.
Disneyland Hotel
Disneyland, like Disney World, has some hidden lounges that are top tier, and you won’t want to miss out on them. There aren’t as many as in Disney World, of course, since the resort is smaller, but that doesn’t mean these lounges are any less iconic. If you’re a big Sleeping Beauty fan, there’s a lounge in Disneyland Hotel that you’ve got to check out!
BIG changes are happening in Disneyland. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening soon and is now going through its early previews.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Construction on the new Haunted Mansion queue and gift shop is still underway. Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree recently opened in what will soon be Bayou Country (goodbye, Critter Country). A new Coco ride and Avatar land is on the way. However, we just took a walk through Disneyland Resort and we noticed some recent changes that we’re excited about!
Lightning Lane Premier Pass has officially landed in Disneyland Resort.
Disneyland
We tested it out on its first day in Disneyland, and learned some VALUABLE lessons that mean we won’t make these same mistakes again!
You might be wondering if having a Disney Visa card is worth it, and we think it might be if you spend a lot of money on Disney trips and merchandise.

You can get $$$ for that next Disney vacation after all. Plus Disney Visa cardholders can get some pretty sweet discounts on select dining and merchandise at Disney Parks. Disney Visa also often releases other deals that could help you save money on Disney offerings. Now, Disney Visa has revealed two NEW deals you can grab right now.
It’s a big day over in Disneyland! Yes, we’re over on the West Coast checking out a brand new offering in the park.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
As we previously reported, Disneyland’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass is officially available in the Disneyland app, and we purchased it to try it out to give you ALL the details on the service. So, yes, we paid $400 per person to get Lightning Lane Premier Pass and we’ve been hitting up rides that offer it. But the biggest question we know YOU have is “Is it worth it?” Well, we’re going to break it down for you.
Both Disneyland and Disney World threw us for a spin earlier this month when they announced the release of Lighting Lane Premier Pass for both coasts.

This is in addition to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass currently available at both resorts but work differently from one another. Premier Pass also has different rules depending on which coast you’re visiting, but in Disneyland, it’s open for all guests willing to pay $400 a day, so we knew we had to try it out to tell you what we thought — here’s just how fast you can get through EVERYTHING included in Lightning Lane Premier Pass in Disneyland.
It’s a BIG day in Disneyland Resort!
Disneyland
Today (October 23rd), Disney is launching its new Lightning Lane Premier Pass service on the West Coast (before it launches in Disney World next week), and we’re here to try it out. Is this new offering for skipping the long lines worth the cost? We’re about to find out.
We’ve got BIG Disneyland news to share!
New lounge change!
Lots of change is coming to Disneyland soon! Disney’s already announced a reopening date for the refurbished Disneyland Railroad and the debut of Lightning Lane Premiere Pass for the theme parks. But, Disney just confirmed something we’ve been keeping a close watch over and we’re so excited about this new change! [Read more…]
There are two things you need to know about me. First, I’m obsessed with Halloween. I promise I come by it honestly: I was literally BORN on Halloween (yes, before you ask, Halloween birthdays are THE BEST, but also confusing because for a long time, I thought ALL birthdays were celebrated with costumes and everyone giving you free candy).
Halloween in Disneyland
Another thing you should know: I love Disneyland. Now don’t get me wrong, I love Disney World, too, but there are just some things about Disneyland (ahem…the FOOD) that makes me love it more. Part of the reason is because Disneyland goes ALL out for Halloween — and, as a Halloween baby, nothing makes me happier. BOTH parks get decorated for the spooky season (and the gigantic Oogie Boogie above the California Adventure gates just makes me giddy this time of year). Oogie Boogie Bash is the superior Disney Halloween party (don’t come at me, but it’s true). Disneyland also has a really cool Halloween tradition that ties into a third thing you need to know about me: I’m a sci-fi nerd.
We know it can be a big bummer if you’re visiting a Disney park and a ride goes down for refurbishment, but it’s always exciting when that ride reopens.
Disneyland
Sometimes those refurbishments are just an opportunity for Disney to spruce up things on the ride a bit. Sometimes, it’s just time to give the rides some extra maintenance. Other times, rides get new vehicles, tracks, themes, and more. Well, one classic Disney ride has been closed for a while now, but it’s set to reopen SOON.
