food IS a theme park
Park Hopping is about to look DIFFERENT in Disneyland!
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Some restrictions have been in place for a while now when it comes to crossing between Disneyland Resort’s two theme parks — Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. The Disneyland website currently notes that those with Park Hopper tickets can cross between parks on the same day starting at 1PM. But soon that’ll be changing!
Surprise, surprise! We’ve got news about MORE changes at Disney parks!
Downtown Disney
It’s no secret that Disney World and Disneyland are constantly adding new rides and experiences, refurbishing old ones, or completely transforming a theme park. We’ve been watching updates from the Downtown Disney reimagining and we’ve got a few updates for you about the restaurants in the shopping and dining district!
Things are getting exciting in Disneyland!
Snow-topped Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
We’re gearing up for the big 100th Anniversary Celebration, including the Sleeping Beauty Castle Makeover. We just recently got some new details on the new World Of Color — One show in Disney California Adventure and we now know when the Adventureland Treehouse will reopen! So what else is going on? Let’s find out!
We’ve got some news from Downtown Disney!
Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen
We’re keeping an eye on all the latest Disneyland news, like new menu items and refurbishments. A popular Downtown Disney restaurant has just announced that they will be CLOSING for refurbishment this month.
Disney theme park attractions are CONSTANTLY changing these days!
Disneyland Park
Over the past few years, we’ve seen multiple attractions in the theme parks get refreshed and updated. First, Jungle Cruise got a new storyline on both coasts, and then Disneyland closed down Mickey’s Toontown to give it a full-scale makeover. And soon, Splash Mountain will be transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. But before that happens, it looks like another updated attraction will be reopening!
There is so much amazing food at Disneyland — and yes, we’ll keep telling you to try our favorites, including the classic Disneyland corn dog, churros, and the Grilled Cheese at Jolly Holiday Bakery.
River Belle Terrace
We have an entire list of our favorite grilled cheese sandwiches in both Disneyland AND Disney World, but what makes a grilled cheese good? Well, it’s got to have delicious MELTY cheese and toasty bread that doesn’t get too soggy. We’re also all about taking the grilled cheese UP a notch, and that’s exactly what Disneyland has done at River Belle Terrace.
If you’re visiting Disney World or Disneyland Resort in 2023, there are a lot of events to check out!
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
We’ve got returning food festivals early in the year, plus special After Hours events at select parks that give you access to shorter lines for rides. But if you want the ultimate VIP experience, you’ll want to check out one of the DVC Moonlight Magic events…and we just got details on how to register!
We’re heading into 2023 at Disneyland Resort, and there’s lots of excitement to come!
Disney California Adventure
Soon, we’ll have Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway open, Mickey’s Toontown back, and the start of the 100th Anniversary of The Walt Disney Company to celebrate. There’s a lot scheduled for the west coast in the new year, but one of the first things we have to check out is the Lunar New Year Festival at Disney California Adventure!
If you’re interested in some delicious cuisine, don’t turn your nose up at the Disney parks!
Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure
While you may not associate theme parks with yummy food, both Disney World and Disneyland Resort are known for having some pretty spectacular restaurants and yummy snacks. In fact, both EPCOT and Disney California Adventure have food festivals throughout the year…and now we’ve got more details about one that’s coming soon!
If you’re planning to visit Disneyland or Disney World soon, there’s a big issue you need to be aware of.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Skipping the lines for the most popular rides in the parks is possible, and one of the main ways to do that is through Genie+ — the paid FastPass replacement. The standard Genie+ service (which starts at $25 per ticket per day in Disneyland) can help you get on rides like Indiana Jones Adventure, Space Mountain, Incredicoaster, Toy Story Midway Mania!, and more with shorter waits. But if you don’t buy the service early in the day, you might not get the chance to!
