food IS a theme park
It’s Halloween-o-ween, everybody! (10 points if you know that reference!)
It’s Halloween!
Disney is celebrating Halloween in some BIG ways, with major celebrations in the parks and the return of Halloween on the High Seas for Disney Cruise Line. If spooky season is your fave, then it’s time to do that Disney vacay! And for those heading on a Halloween Disney trip soon, we’ve got a souvenir update for you.
One of the most fun things you can do in Disneyland is meet characters!
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland
Now, Disneyland characters are NEXT LEVEL in Disneyland, and you’ll often just see them roaming around. Some also have set meet-and-greet spots, but there are almost always surprise character appearances, too. Well, we recently learned about some brand NEW characters coming to Disneyland, and we had an opportunity to meet one of them recently: Isabela from Encanto!
A LOT is happening over in Disneyland, and yes, that means there’s a LOT of construction.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland
First, Haunted Mansion is getting a brand-new queue and shop, and although the ride is currently open as Haunted Mansion Holiday, construction around it is ongoing. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is getting closer to its November opening date. Critter Country will be renamed Bayou Country and will be getting a re-themed restaurant, Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree. Well, we just visited Disneyland recently to check out all the progress on these projects, and they are really coming right along!
We know, we know, it’s only September, but we can’t lie — we’re SUPER excited for the holiday season in the Disney World and Disneyland parks!
Disneyland
We’ve already got our tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom and Jollywood Nights in Hollywood Studios, but if you’ll be over on the West Coast for the holiday season, never fear! Disney recently announced all the offerings that will be coming back to Disneyland Resort this year for the holidays, including the beloved Festival of Holidays!
One of the most fun things you can do in a Disney park is meet the characters! Whether that’s through a meet and greet or you see a character wandering around or you see characters during a character dining experience, it’s always a real TREAT when you come across them.
Mirabel from ‘Encanto’ in Disney California Adventure
Now, when it comes to characters, we don’t think you can beat the interactions in Disneyland because the resort is adding new characters ALL the time. Well, now, two NEW characters are coming to Disneyland and we think you’ll want to book a flight to the West Coast to meet them.
Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort is undergoing a massive transformation.
Downtown Disney
We’ve already seen parts of it come to fruition with the new Din Tai Fung restaurant, Paseo, Centrico, and Tiendita from Chef Jose Andres, and more. But, it doesn’t sound like Disney has plans to stop this transformation anytime soon because we’ve got even more restaurants and shops to tell you about!
‘Tis the season…
Disneyland
Believe it or not, the holidays are almost here. While Halloween Time has essentially just begun at Disneyland, we can’t help but think ahead to the Christmas season that follows right behind it! Disney recently released some first looks at all the new holiday experiences and returning festive favorites coming back to the resort this year. Let’s dive in!

Halloween at Disney California Adventure
We couldn’t be more excited to experience all the exciting exclusive entertainment, snacks, and more that is only available during this event and time of year. The entire event sold out in a matter of a few weeks — THAT’S how popular this event is, and we have a feeling it’s only about to get MORE iconic. The entertainment at this after hours event is top-notch — here’s everything you can experience at the event this year!
