food IS a theme park
A new restaurant is now open at Downtown Disney!
Din Tai Fung
Disney shared a while back that the iconic Din Tai Fung restaurant — famous for its soup dumplings — would be opening in the Anaheim shopping and dining district sometime this year, and now that time has officially come! Din Tai Fung is now open at Downtown Disney and we’re bringing you along for our first look!
Who wants to go to the Four Seasons Orlando? 🙋 Who wants to go to Disney California Adventure? 🙋 Who wants to see a CELEBRITY during your visit? 🙋

OK, our bucket list is pretty packed, as you can see. But someday, maybe we’ll spot the celebrity of our dreams AT Disney California and knock out two birds with one stone (side note — what a weird expression, right? why the hostility towards birds?!). And if you think the idea of seeing a celebrity at Disney World or Disneyland is totally impossible, think again! Turns out celebrities visit the Disney parks a LOT. They’re just like us, except for the millions of dollars sitting in their bank account. Anyway, wanna know why we’re so confident that our Disney celebrity dreams can come true? We’ve got proof it happens!
Downtown Disney in Anaheim recently added three new restaurants — but they’re still not stopping!
Din Tai Fung
A while back, we learned that the iconic Din Tai Fung restaurant — famous for its soup dumplings — would be opening in this shopping and dining district sometime this year, we just didn’t know when. Disney had shared an opening timeline, but now it’s official and we know when you’ll be able to try those delicious dumps!Â
The year has been flying by and we’ll be approaching the Halloween season in just a few months!

Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is one of the best times to visit The Happiest Place on Earth! This season at Disneyland features Halloween decorations, themed merch, special food offerings, ride holiday overlays, the incredibly fun Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure, and more! If you’re like us and ready to hear all about this year’s festivities, you’re in luck — Disney just announced a bunch of stuff coming to this year’s Halloween Time at Disneyland!
Don’t let the Halloween season sneak up on you! There’s a LOT happening at Disneyland Resort for Halloween this year, like the insanely popular (as in, sells-out-in-under-one-week) Oogie Boogie Bash. But there’s another SUPER fun perk you can experience if you visit Disneyland during the fall. And good news — this one won’t cost ya any extra money!
Disneyland
There is a super-detailed ride overlay (it takes WEEKS to come together) that transforms a classic Disney attraction each year. Up until this point, Disney hasn’t shared any major news about the fate of this Halloween makeover. But now, we have some important NEW details to share.
Pixar Fest is happening at Disneyland Resort, and we’ve enjoyed checking out all the new snacks, entertainment, and more during the big event.

And it appears we’re not the only ones excited about the festival — the stars of Disney+’sPercy Jackson series recently visited Disney California Adventure! Let’s see what they got to experience.
A character from a hit Disney and Pixar film franchise has made his way to the Disney Parks!
Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind
Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has been a MASSIVE hit at the box office since its release on June 14th, so it only makes sense that fans of the film will want to see these characters at the Disney Parks. While one emotion has recently appeared at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, another just made his meet-and-greet debut at the Disneyland Resort!
Is it too early to get hyped for the holidays in the Disney parks?
Christmas at Disneyland!
I mean, we know it’s June, but we’re already starting to think about our winter vacations and what could be better than ringing in the season in Disney World or Disneyland Resort? We’ve recently seen some hints about holiday celebrations coming to Disney World, but now we’ve got a tip about what could be returning to the West Coast!
Disney makes a lot of VIRAL souvenirs. Most recently, those adorable character headbands SOLD OUT in no time. And who could forget the iconic rose gold trend that started it all? Often, we see new souvenirs inspired by special events and celebrations, like The Matterhorn’s 65th Anniversary! With such an impressive milestone, Disney better give us some EXTRA special new merchandise, right?
Matterhorn Bobsleds
Well, fear not. Disney did not disappoint! Wait until you see the NEW Matterhorn souvenir coming soon. It’s going to be POPULAR; trust us.
The Walt Disney Company is certainly no stranger to lawsuits.

Recently the company has faced lawsuits from Cast Members and Disney Parks visitors, as well as a lawsuit concerning the company’s new sports streaming service. Disney was also recently sued by Disneyland Magic Key holders, which ended in Disney agreeing to settle. A judge ordered a settlement in that lawsuit and details were finalized. Now, those details have been released about when Magic Key holders can get their payout from that settlement.
