food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disneyland Resort!
Disney California Adventure!
And, we’ve got A LOT of food and merchandise updates to share with you. After all, who doesn’t love snacking AND shopping? Especially when it’s at Disney! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
We’ve had our fair share of burgers in Disney World and…well…they aren’t always the FIRST thing that we reach for when it comes to having a good meal in the parks.
The Smokehouse BBQ Burger from Regal Eagle at EPCOT
But, there are some gems like our beloved Cheeseburger Pods from Satu’li Canteen, the BBQ Burger from Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Crafts, Drafts, and Barbecue, and, of course, the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls from the Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom. But, if we want a REAL good burger we head over to the west coast to Black Tap Craft Burgers and Shakes in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort. And, that’s just what we did today!
One of the fun things about eating and drinking around Disneyland every day is you never know exactly what you’re going to find!
Schmoozies
This time of year, we get excited about all the St. Patrick’s Day treats, the Easter snacks, and the springtime foods that always make their way to the parks. But, now we’ve got even MORE to get excited about because FOUR new drinks have arrived in Disney California Adventure and two of them combine our favorite flavor combo — chocolate and peanut butter!
There are a lot of changes in the works at Disneyland right now!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
For example, TONS of nighttime entertainment is coming back in the next month, THREE fan-favorite rides are closing for refurbishment, and Mickey’s Toontown is undergoing a full transformation. And, on top of it all, Disney has shared that they will be taking some time to fix a pinch point in Disneyland Park to help with crowding moving forward.
Ever get a Disney cup and then NEVER drink out of anything else for days, weeks, maybe even months (and making sure to wash it during that time, of course)?! Well get ready for that to happen again…but with a bowl!
Welcome Magic Key Holders!
From time to time, Disneyland Magic Key holders get some special perks in the parks. We’ve seen Disney provide these guests with EXCLUSIVE merchandise items and more — and we spotted one of these special items in the parks today!
Refurbishment is a typical part of Disney Parks life. We often see rides and pools on the refurbishment schedule, but we’ve got a big restaurant update!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Three popular Disneyland rides have recently undergone or are still undergoing refurbishment, and another restaurant joined the list! Will this closure affect your next visit to Disneyland? Let’s find out!
As if our wallets weren’t screaming already from all the new Disney merchandise released lately, Disneyland REALLY wants us to do some shopping.
Sleeping Beauty Castle!
Today Disneyland just opened a NEW store, and it’s actually MORE than just a store because it’s FULL of history, easter eggs, and more! If you’re a fan of Merlin, you’re going to LOVE this new shop!
After our fill of blue treats were released for Disney World’s 50th anniversary, it’s time to switch colors for St. Patrick’s Day! (Is green better than blue?)
How can we not love a Mickey cupcake?
Along with all the special green eats we’ve seen so far in Disney World, Disneyland isn’t being left out. In fact, they’re getting a green snack that might look a bit…odd, and it’s only available for ONE day. If you dare to try more strangely colored Disney snacks, learn more here!
Last year, Disneyland announced a new Annual Pass program called Magic Key.
Exclusive Magic Key Lounge
The program offers Key holders admission to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure with varying levels of access and benefits. Key holders are subject to making park reservations and there is a no-show policy that hasn’t been enforced — until now.
Is it just us or is a big bowl of chili the PERFECT comfort food?
Pacific Wharf Cafe
Let’s just say we were very excited when Disney World announced Walt’s Chili as one of its 50th Anniversary Celebration dishes. However, Walt’s Chili didn’t wow us, and we were left wondering if good chili COULD be found at a Disney Park. Well, we just found some GREAT chili, not at Disney World, but Disneyland, proving once again that the West Coast just sometimes does things better (like churros).
