food IS a theme park
We’ve had a LOT of big news coming out of Disneyland this week!
Buzz Lightyear at Pixar Pier
Ticket prices — along with other prices — have gone up. We’ve got a date for when MagicBand+ is coming to Disneyland. We got a full list of food booths for the upcoming Festival of the Holidays at Disney California Adventure. But what else has been going on? Let’s take a look!
Get ready to celebrate all things merry and bright — the Festival of Holidays is returning to Disneyland Resort soon!
Honey Guava Pisco Punch
From November 11th, 2022 through January 8th, 2023, the festival will be offered at Disney California Adventure Park. It’ll feature all kinds of entertainment, appearances by Santa Claus (of course!), and the chance to munch on some unique food. We’ve been eagerly awaiting more news about this festival and we FINALLY got a huge update!
Disney Genie+ debuted last year at Disneyland Resort, replacing the former MaxPass system.

Genie+ is a paid feature that lets you make reservations for Lightning Lanes in the parks. These work similarly to how the old MaxPass lanes did, letting you skip the normal line at rides around the parks. We’ve seen many changes to the system since it debuted, but now, Genie+ just got a price increase in Disneyland.
A LOT of exciting things are coming to Disneyland Resort!
Disneyland Monorail
We recently learned that M’Baku from Black Panther and Wakanda Forever will soon be meeting guests at Avengers Campus. We also learned a LOT about the Walt Disney Company’s plans to celebrate its 100th anniversary AT Disneyland, including a new look for Sleeping Beauty Castle. In the meantime, we’ve got more updates to share with you from the West Coast!
Spooky season just got even spookier, especially in Disneyland.
Disney California Adventure
The Halloween decorations are up, Haunted Mansion Holiday is open, and we’ve already been to Oogie Boogie Bash and met a LOT of villains. However, two NEW spooky characters have officially put in an appearance in Avengers Campus, and we’ve got the PHOTOS.
Make space on your shelves, we see a new Disney popcorn bucket in your future. 🔮
Haunted Mansion Holiday
Disney has released a number of popcorn buckets over the last few months, including a shiny ombre one and a pink one too. But, if you’re a Nightmare Before Christmas fan, THIS is the popcorn bucket for YOU (we rhymed!).
It’s time for another Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction series!
Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction!
The Main Attraction collections are all based on classic Disney attractions with a Mickey twist, including “it’s a small world,” Prince Charming Carrousel, Peter Pan’s Flight, and more. One of the newest series is based on an iconic Disney attraction and we finally got to see the EARS in person!
Get ready, Black Panther fans: an iconic character from the movies is coming to a Disney park!
Black Panther
Guests can already see the Dora Milaje and sometimes the Black Panther in Disney California Adventure Park at Avengers Campus, along with other Super Heros. And over the past several months, new heroes (and villains) have joined the bunch, including America Chavez and others. But soon another familiar face will be available for fans to see!
Next year, The Walt Disney Company celebrates 100 years!
