By Leave a Comment

As Disney World folks, we’re also often jealous of the meet and greets that come to Disneyland. Did you know you can meet OSWALD in Disneyland? Plus, there are so many fun limited-time meet and greets like Mei Lee and her mom, Ming Lei, from Turning Red. It looks like another ICONIC character duo could be coming to Disneyland soon.

By Leave a Comment

Disneyland’s ORIGINAL nighttime spectacular is ALMOST back. 

Did we mention there was LOTS of fire before?

Or it was until April of 2023, when the massive Maleficent dragon animatronic that served as the show’s climax caught fire. While no one was hurt, the fire did significant damage to the show’s infrastructure, and the show hasn’t run at Disneyland since. Now, that’s about to change.

By Leave a Comment

Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta in Disney California Adventure has always offered a pretty decent slice, but let’s just say that it has plussed up its pizza and given it a Mexican twist — and it’s everything we ever wanted.
