food IS a theme park
Are you ready to dream a fantastic dream again?!Â
Disneyland
Fantasmic!, the nighttime spectacular at Disneyland Park that has been a park staple since 1992, is BACK after a lengthy refurbishment that began in April 2023,! Not only has it returned to the Rivers of America, but it’s also got some updated scenes, music, and effects! [Read more…]
There sure are a lot of changes happening around Disney World and the other Disney parks, right?
Magic Kingdom
About that, we’ve seen so many construction projects across all of the parks in their various stages, and that all has us wonder what your thoughts were on all of it. To that point, you shared all of your thoughts on how you truly feel about Disney’s expansion plans!
April 5th marked the beginning of the Season of the Force at Disneyland Resort!
Disneyland fireworks
This special Star Wars season runs through June 2nd and celebrates the mega-popular franchise and all of us fans. Over in Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge, the celebration features character meet-and-greets, specialty snacks, and even a new fireworks show. We caught the fireworks show when it debuted, but Disney just shared that someone new might be joining the festivities!
After over a year, an ICONIC Disney show is FINALLY back!
Disneyland
Disneyland has plenty of great attractions, top-notch food, and wildly entertaining shows — but over the past year, it’s fair to say something has been missing. If you’re a big fan of Fantasmic! at Disneyland and/or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, then its notable absence at Disneyland Park has been disheartening, to say the least. Well, get ready to “dream a fantastic dream” again, Fantasmic! is BACK!
If there’s a new Disney restaurant, you can bet we’ll eat there!
Pixar Lamp and Ball at Pixar Place Hotel
Our latest foodie adventures took us to the Disneyland Resort to try the brand-new Small Bytes pool bar at Pixar Place Hotel. Themed after Pixar Animation Studios films, this bar easily subverts expectations in several ways that surprised us. What do we mean by that? Let’s dive into our review and find out!
Something BIG is coming back to Disneyland!
Disneyland
Last year, Fantasmic was put on hiatus at Disneyland Park after the Maleficent dragon caught fire mid-show. Since then, Disney has been reworking the show a bit in anticipation of its reopening on May 24th, 2024. And now, right before the show returns, we’ve got a sneak peek!
We are absolutely loving Pixar Fest in Disneyland Resort.
We love Pixar Fest!
All the new dining options, entertainment offerings, and everything in between are giving us LIFE and the fun isn’t stopping anytime soon! We headed over to Paradise Garden Grill to check out their new menu offerings for the festival, and there are definitely a few you don’t want to miss.
Disneyland food is just BETTER according to many Disney Parks visitors.
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
One iconic snack stand to grab a bite to eat is Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs, located in Downtown Disney. side from serving Disneyland’s Original Hand-dipped Corn Dogs, guests can also try a Golden Dragon Panko-Crusted Corn Dog. But keep an eye out for even more offerings! Signs at the stand will let you know when limited-time corn dogs are available. We’ve spied everything from a Pickle Corn Dog to a coconut-crusted dog! Now, though, we’ve spotted something new entirely, and we just HAVE to try it.
When you think of Disney snacks — what comes to mind?
We love a good dog
Perhaps a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar, pretzel, or popcorn tickles your fancy. Maybe you think of the controversial turkey leg or a classic Dole Whip. No matter what, some Disney snacks are just classics — and right now we’re bringing you our review of one of our favorites!
Is there any bar more iconic than Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar?
Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar
We’ve been to pretty much every bar all over Disneyland, and although some remain popular, like Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, as well as the Carthay Circle Lounge and Lamplight Lounge in California Adventure, we’ll still go to Trader Sam’s at the Disneyland Hotel every chance we get. So when we learned that Trader Sam’s was getting a new menu (because, hey, the food is good here, too!), we jumped at the opportunity to revisit our favorite Disneyland bar.
