food IS a theme park
One year ago Disneyland Resort began its phased reopening and a lot has changed in the parks since!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Masks are no longer required to be worn by fully vaccinated guests in most locations, most restaurants have reopened, parades and nighttime shows have returned, and even character meet & greets are “normal.” And, as of yesterday, another entertainment offering is BACK — but you need to know the secret to find out when you can see it!
May the Fourth be with you (a little early, we know, but we couldn’t help it!).
Kylo Ren
We’re only a few days away from May the 4th (a.k.a. Star Wars Day), and we’re ready to celebrate all things Star Wars! There are tons of things you can do around the Disney parks to celebrate Star Wars. But Disneyland fans get to celebrate in a very special way for a super limited time!
Halloween is a magical time in Disney Parks and Disneyland Resort goes BIG for Halloween with a special Oogie Boogie twist.
Disney California Adventure
The Oogie Boogie Bash is an extra-ticket event in Disneyland Resort filled with special treats, Disney Villains, a parade, and lots more. We’ve been waiting to find out whether Oogie Boogie Bash would be returning to Disney California Adventure Park this fall, and today we have an update!
We’re almost to the end of April, but don’t despair — there are lots of exciting things happening in Disney World and Disneyland Resort in May!
Disneyland
We’ve got delicious food festivals, exciting ride openings, and several new offerings specifically for the month of May. And you know where you can find some of those unique, limited-time specials? At Black Tap Anaheim!
If you’re looking for a unique way to spend an evening in Disneyland Resort, the Disneyland After Dark events are returning in 2022!

Disneyland After Dark includes special events that take place after regular park hours, such as the Sweethearts’ Nite, Villains Nite, and Star Wars Nite. Today we’re talking about some exclusive eats you can ONLY get during Star Wars Nite, so here’s what you might want to plan on eating!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disneyland Resort!
The Main Street Electrical Parade is back!
We’ve been spending some time at Disneyland, enjoying the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade, the snacks that came with it, AND the return of the Disneyland Forever Fireworks and Disney California Adventure’s World of Color. It’s been a blast! We’ve also been checking out everything new, so let’s get on with some updates!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
Disneyland may have reopened to guests just one year ago, but the resort has seen quite a few changes to health and safety measures in that time period.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
When the parks first reopened, face masks were required almost everywhere. That quickly changed to face masks becoming optional outside, and then again becoming optional almost everywhere for vaccinated guests. The only place that has kept mask requirements in place for everyone (ages 2 and older) was on enclosed transportation like Disney shuttles. But, that has now changed.
Nighttime Spectaculars have returned to Disneyland, and it’s something worth celebrating!
Main Street Electrical Parade Finale
Our nights have become much brighter, thanks to the return of the Disneyland Forever fireworks, World of Color, and Main Street Electrical Parade! Along with the new parade-themed popcorn bucket, sipper, and merchandise, new treats arrived to celebrate the special occasion — and one of them will melt if you don’t act fast!
If you know us, then you know we LOVE ourselves a good Disney dessert!
Jolly Holiday in Disneyland
If you’re on the hunt for some quick, freshly made eats in Disneyland Park, Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe is a prime spot right on Main Street, U.S.A.! Jolly Holiday is known for offering up unique twists on classic foods and seasonal offerings for guests to enjoy. We recently tried another seasonal addition to the menu and we think it has the potential to be a BIG hit!
The Main Street Electrical Parade has officially returned to Disneyland Resort, along with the Disneyland Forever fireworks, and World of Color at Disney California Adventure!
Main Street Electrical Parade
Along with the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade is a brand new electrical parade merchandise collection plus two new collectible items! Disneyland is also rolling out a ton of new food items in celebration of these three nighttime spectaculars returning, so basically, this is a really big deal!
