Something MASSIVE is happening over in Disneyland.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Disneyland has seen a ton of changes already. Last year, a newly updated ToonTown reopened, Tarzan’s Treehouse became Adventureland Treehouse, Haunted Mansion closed to get an updated queue area, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is under construction. But a huge $1.9 billion expansion is also coming to the park, which means new rides, lands, restaurants, and more!
🚨TREND ALERT!🚨 We’ve seen people walk around with Disney nuiMOs stuffed animals strapped to their bags. We’ve seen grown adults sit down for a glittery face paint makeover. We’ve even seen some brave trendsetters sport DUCK LEG headbands in the parks. It’s Disney World — anything goes.
Donald and Daisy!
OK, what we’re about to show you is gonna be polarizing. If you’re in the camp that loves kooky, kitschy Disney merchandise, you’re going to LOVE these new souvenirs. If you simply can’t get behind the whole *walk around with literal sequined mouse ears* thing, you may want to avert your eyes. Alright. Let’s do this. Time to talk new merchandise.
One of Disneyland’s iconic attractions is closing for a weeks-long refurbishment… kind of?
The Matterhorn Bobsleds is one of the most revolutionary rides in Disney history. The coaster was the first ever made with a tubular steel track and completely redefined what a roller coaster could be when it opened in 1959. The coaster continues to inspire steel-built coaster behemoths around the world, and thrill Disneyland visitors daily… except those visiting on a weekday through the end of this month!
We are celebrating all things Star Wars in Disneyland.

Star Wars Nite!
You’ll likely be riding a lot of rides, participating in lightsaber training, and overall working up a big appetite. Take that time to grab some of the exclusive eats at the event! But which are worth your money? Don’t worry, we tried them all out and are here to tell you!
Here at the Disney Food Blog, we take Disney food SERIOUSLY, and no matter how good we find a restaurant to be, we will always revisit to see if the quality holds. So come with us as we do just that at a Disneyland dining staple!
Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland
Disneyland Park is home to several popular attractions and, of course, some delicious restaurants. One of those restaurants is Plaza Inn! Located on Main Street, U.S.A., this restaurant opened with the park in 1955 (it was then called the Red Wagon Inn) and is still the only place in Disneyland Park to experience character dining. We recently visited our favorite Disneyland counter service location to see if it still holds up in 2024, and we have a lot to report!
If you’ve been following Disney parks news, then you know that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is coming soon to Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom!

The Princess and the Frog-themed ride is replacing Splash Mountain at both Disney World and Disneyland Resort, and construction is well underway on both coasts. As part of the updates, gift shops near the ride will be getting some big changes.
