We’re expecting some HUGE announcements from Disney on parks, movies, and more, and tickets to this event are already sold out. D23 members who are attending this major event can score a HUGE discount on their stay at a popular hotel near Disneyland, and we’re sharing all the details!
A LOT is about to change in Disney World and Disneyland.
New Lightning Lane changes are coming
Genie+ as we know it is going away forever, to be replaced by a new service called Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. In Disney World, even more changes are coming to the service that allows you to skip the standby lines for rides. Regardless of which Disney resort you’re visiting, though, you need to do one very important thing before July 24th.
Are you planning a trip to Disneyland?
Disneyland
We’re sure you’ve been planning to eat some of that infamous Disneyland food that we always go on about (yes, that food is AMAZING). Maybe you’ve made a list of snacks you want to try from corn dogs to churros (SO many churros) to Mickey beignets. Well, we have some bad news about some food in Disneyland: we’ve seen some price increases across the board for a lot of Disneyland restaurants and snacks.
Ever since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in 2019 at Disneyland Park, Batuu has been home to many kinds of fun nods to the Star Wars universe, such as Oga’s Cantina!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland
This Galaxy’s Edge staple has become a pit stop for fans and non-fans alike, and Disney is celebrating a very special day at this lounge for a very limited time. Let’s dive into the details!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened last month at Magic Kingdom in Disney World but we still have some questions that have been lingering on our minds.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland
When Disney announced that Splash Mountain would be reimagined to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure back in 2020, we learned that the new attraction would not only grace Disney World, but Disneyland Park as well. Disneyland began construction on the project after Disney World started its version of the ride, so it makes sense that it’s lagged behind, but now that we’ve been there and done that with Disney World’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, all eyes have turned to The Happiest Place on Earth.
Us Disney World fans are often very jealous of Disneyland (which is why we’re often booking trips to the West Coast, too).
Disneyland
Not only does Disneyland have the BEST corndogs, churros, and snacks (we rate Disneyland #1 for food, by the way), but it also gets the BEST souvenirs. Now, granted, sometimes those souvenirs do make their way to Disney World, but sometimes that takes a while. That’s why we’re currently checking flights to Anaheim because Disney just dropped a look at a new souvenir that is a 100% MUST-HAVE.

Halloween may still be many months away, but the Disney parks have already started preparing!
Halloween in Disneyland!
We saw tons of new updates released for the Halloween festivities that we will be able to find in both Disneyland and Disney World this year, and tickets have been on sale for the events on each coast for a few weeks now. If you were hoping to head to Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland this year, we hope you already got your tickets, because they’re SOLD OUT!
When there’s new food announced at a Disney park, you know we’re right there ready to report on it.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
As much as we love our tried and true menu favorites at restaurants throughout Disney World and Disneyland, we do enjoy news of brand-new food items to try during our next trip (because they might become our new favorites!). Disney has just announced a new lunch menu at Disneyland Resort and we are hyped for all they have to offer.
Bad news, Disney fans. Getting around Disneyland Resort might look a little different soon. Why? There are several big closures and refurbishments happening soon, and they may impact your trip.
