food IS a theme park
Carthay Circle
Sure, lunch and dinner are important meals, but is there anything better than a nice, filling brunch? Combining lunch AND breakfast? Well, whoever originally thought of that had a stroke of GENIUS. If you’re planning a late-morning visit to Disneyland, you might want to grab some brunch!
Downtown Disney
Now, there are a few places to grab brunch in Downtown Disney, like Ballast Point Brewing Co. and Tortilla Jo’s, but now there’s ANOTHER spot where you can grab a meal!

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
Okay, so maybe it’s not THAT far away, but it is in Disneyland, where we’re going to visit the planet of Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Here, if you know what you’re looking for, you can find two HIDDEN snacks, and these are two items you’ll ONLY find on one spot.

Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney (at Disneyland Resort) is undergoing a lot of changes. Sprinkles has closed, new restaurants are on their way, and Earl of Sandwich opened a brand NEW table service concept. But now we’ve got another food-related update!
The time has come for two fan-favorite Disneyland restaurants.
Disneyland
Catal Restaurant and its outdoor bar Uva Bar & Cafe have served Disneyland visitors for 22 years — inspiring many to fall in love with the colorful Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere. Together, these restaurants have served up some pretty tasty food and drinks, but a lot of the appeal comes from the atmosphere brought by Uva Bar & Cafe’s outdoor space that allows visitors a sunny glimpse of both California and the Mediterranean region.
Things are CHANGING at Disneyland Resort!
Disneyland
Certain restaurants are closing, Splash Mountain has an official closing date, and a new store is on its way. But what other updates have popped up around the Happiest Place on Earth? We have ALLLLLL of the things you need to know right here.
What’s going on with Splash Mountain in Disneyland?
Splash Mountain in Disneyland
Disney has announced that Splash Mountain in both Disney World and Disneyland would be reimagined into a new attraction called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, inspired by The Princess and the Frog. The ride has already permanently closed in Disney World and work is underway to begin that transformation. However, Disneyland’s Splash Mountain has remained open. But now we know when it, too, will close forever.
We’ve seen quite a few changes at Disneyland Resort recently!
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
The reimagined Mickey’s Toontown reopened not too long ago, and Paradise Pier Hotel is currently getting some major renovations. But there are also changes happening in Downtown Disney, the shopping and dining complex. And recently, one location there closed!
UPDATE: As of April 14th, only the Inspire Key is available for new sales. All other Magic Key types (Imagine, Enchant, and Believe) have sold out and are available for renewals ONLY.
Do NOT wait — ALL Magic Key Passes are on sale again for Disneyland Resort and this could be your chance to pick one up!
100th Anniversary Sleeping Beauty Castle
Earlier in 2023, Disney announced that Magic Key passes (the new annual passes to Disneyland Resort) would become available to purchase from time to time throughout the year. We saw sales open up a little later in January, but some pass types quickly sold out. For a while, the Inspire Key was the only one available to buy, but that has CHANGED.
If you’re seeking access to Disneyland that lasts all year long (subject to blockout dates and Park Pass restrictions), look no further!
Castle Decor
If Disneyland is your home park, purchasing a Magic Key Pass is the key (get it?!) to getting access to the parks along with special benefits. At the moment, only the Inspire Key Pass has been available for new purchases, but Disney has just announced some big news!
