food IS a theme park
Being a Magic Key holder in Disneyland comes with a nice set of perks.

Of course, the discounts on food and merchandise are pretty awesome, right? But you can also occasionally get access to previews, an exclusive lounge, and more. Now, Magic Key holders also get access to exclusive merchandise, and there’s a new Mickey souvenir you might want to grab ASAP.
Halloween time is starting soon in Disneyland, and we’re just counting down the days until the first Oogie Boogie Bash.

HOWEVER, let’s just say we’re also starting to look forward to the holiday season, especially with Disneyland recently confirming lots of events returning this year. Well, now, we know WHEN the holiday season begins in Disneyland!
Well, well, well. We’ve officially made it to spooky season in the Disney Parks.
Halloween decorations at Disney World
Halloween decor has started popping up here and there, we’ve spotted some spooky merchandise at Disney World, and Disney has made a few announcements regarding what we can expect in the Parks this Halloween and fall season. Disney just made a super exciting Halloween announcement for those over on the West Coast.
There are some pretty amazing Disney hotel pools out there, but you might need to add another one to your list to visit soon.

Over at the Disneyland Resort, the Paradise Pier Hotel is in the process of transforming into the Pixar Place Hotel, complete with a new restaurant, updated lobby, and more. But now we’ve got an updated look (and opening date!) for one particular spot coming to this revamped hotel.
A Disneyland hotel restaurant is about to look VERY different.

Over at Disneyland Resort, there are quite a few hotel projects being worked on. Disneyland Hotel is in the middle of some major construction due to the new Disney Vacation Club tower being built there. And Paradise Pier Hotel is being rethemed to the Pixar Place Hotel. But now we’ve got more Disneyland news — and this time it has to do with one of the hotel restaurants.
Part of the fun of a Disney trip is seeing all our favorite characters.
Mickey and Minnie meet-and-greet in Animal Kingdom!
Yes, we will hug Mickey EVERY chance we can get. We also love seeing his friends, like Donald and Daisy. We love seeing characters wandering around the parks, too. Now, though, it seems like two NEW characters may be headed to the Disney parks soon, and we can’t wait!
A NEW restaurant themed to The Princess and the Frog is coming to Disneyland Park and we’ve got some exciting news about it!

Tiana’s Palace is currently under construction and set to open at Disneyland Park later in 2023. It will feature authentic New Orleans flavors in a Quick Service style restaurant. It is replacing the former French Market Restaurant. We previously got a peek at one of the signs for this new spot, but now something else has arrived!
Haunted Mansion is everywhere now, and we are here for ALL the Haunted Mansion love.
Haunted Mansion in Disneyland
We’ve got LOADS of new merchandise, a new MOVIE, and even Haunted Mansion snacks in Disney Parks. What a time to be ALIVE! But the most EPIC of Haunted Mansion souvenirs just arrived today, and we’ll just say you’ll lose your HEAD when you see it.
Things are CHANGING in Disneyland!
Disneyland
For quite some time, alcoholic drinks have only been available at a verrrrry limited number of restaurants within Disneyland Park. But Disney has just announced that alcoholic beverages will be added to 3 more locations soon. Not only that, but some NEW menu items will be available at these spots too.
When it comes to Disneyland dining, Cafe Orleans is one of our favorite spots.
Cafe Orleans
Located in the heart of New Orleans Square, this casual table-service eatery boasts architecture and atmosphere inspired by — you guessed it — New Orleans. The menu is filled with Cajun and Creole-inspired dishes, including the Monte Cristo Sandwich, which will forever have a special place in our hearts. Heck, this restaurant in GENERAL has a special place in our hearts! Today, we’re headed back to Cafe Orleans. The best part? We’re taking you with us!
