food IS a theme park
Updated on April 19th, 2024
Some of us can jump right out of bed as soon as the alarm rings in the morning and head right over to the parks to be there for rope drop.
Good morning!
And, well, some of us need a little help … in the form of COFFEE.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway may have opened on the west coast earlier this year, but there are still some exciting additions we’ve been waiting for!
Toontown
Disneyland’s reimagined Mickey’s Toontown was originally scheduled to open on March 8th but got pushed back to March 19th due to some heavy winter storms. During this construction, guests riding Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway haven’t been able to visit the gift shop — until now! Earlier today, Disneyland opened EngineEar Souvenirs ahead of the official opening of the rest of Mickey’s Toontown.
When we think of classic Disney rides, we’re sure to think of “it’s a small world,” Pirates of the Caribbean, and Jungle Cruise.
Disney’s Matterhorn
But if you’re thinking in terms of Disneyland, you’ll also consider the Matterhorn Bobsleds, which opened there in 1959. That ride is so classic that it even has its own cookie! Well, if you’re visiting Disneyland soon, you’ll need to know that the Matterhorn Bobsleds will soon close for refurbishment.
One of our favorite times of the year is finally here!
Spring at Disneyland!
It’s officially spring at Disneyland, which means one of our favorite treats EVER is now available at Candy Palace. We’ll give you some hints… ready? Okay, it’s super sweet and chocolatey, handmade, and the PERFECT Easter basket filler. Have you guessed it yet?

Back in November, Bob Chapek was ousted as the head of the company and replaced by his predecessor, Bob Iger. Since then, we’ve seen many changes — in personnel, operations, and in business strategies for the company. Bob Iger has a lot of forward-thinking ideas for Disney, and in a recent interview, he mentioned some big plans for Disneyland Resort.

Who doesn’t love a Disney After Hours event?
Princess Nite 2023
March is Women’s History Month and there’s a NEW Disneyland After Hours Event, Disneyland After Dark: Princess Nite, celebrating adventurous heroines and our favorite Disney Princesses! There was special merchandise, photo ops, and of course — themed food and drinks!
Hear ye, hear ye! We just experienced a very special event at Disneyland, and believe us when we say that it was fit for royalty. 👸
Princess Nite 2023
That’s right, Disneyland brought back Princess Nite as one of the Disneyland After Dark events for 2023, and it did not disappoint! From beloved Disney Princess meet-and-greets, to royal cavalcades and spectaculars, to specially-themed snacks, we had a BLAST!
One Disney collector’s item that we’ve seen grow increasingly popular is the refillable popcorn bucket!
They really do make GREAT accessories!
These themed buckets can be purchased in the parks at several popcorn stands. While many people use them for — you guessed it — popcorn, we’ve seen many others use them as decor, piggy banks, and even bags, since they usually come with long straps. We found a NEW Disney100 popcorn bucket that is fit for a princess!
We went to Disneyland’s FIRST-EVER Princess Nite, which is a separately ticketed after-hours event. And we’re taking you along with us to experience it!
Let’s go to Princess Nite!
There are unique treats, special meet-and-greets, and themed entertainment offerings at this special event, which is held on March 7th and 9th from 9PM to 1AM. Let’s head in to check it all out! [Read more…]
