food IS a theme park
Hello, just popping in with some a-maize-ing news.

Yup, you butter believe it; the new popcorn buckets for the Holiday season over at Disneyland have officially been announced! Let’s check them out, shall we?
Disney is dropping ALL the holiday news!
Disney California Adventure for the HOLIDAYS!
The Disney Festival of the Holidays at Disneyland Resort is happening from November 15th, 2024, through January 6th, 2025 — that’s next week! Now, we finally got a peek at what tasty treats we’ll get to try at this year’s festival.
The holidays are coming to Disneyland!
Haunted Mansion at Disneyland
From November 15th, 2024, through January 6th, 2025, you’ll be able to grab some yummy holiday snacks around the Disneyland Resort. Both theme parks, Downtown Disney, and the hotels will have LOTS to try. Let’s check out what’s coming soon!
Okay, we get it — it’s no fun when your favorite Disney ride closes for refurbishment, especially if that closure happens during your planned trip.

It happens all the time, though. Rides have to close for much-needed maintenance, although sometimes rides get big updates during their closure (or entire re-themes). One classic Disneyland ride is scheduled to close soon for what’s probably a basic refurbishment, but now we know when that ride will reopen.
For all the classic Disney movie and Disney Princess fans out there, we’ve got a spot you HAVE to visit.
Disneyland Hotel
Disneyland, like Disney World, has some hidden lounges that are top tier, and you won’t want to miss out on them. There aren’t as many as in Disney World, of course, since the resort is smaller, but that doesn’t mean these lounges are any less iconic. If you’re a big Sleeping Beauty fan, there’s a lounge in Disneyland Hotel that you’ve got to check out!
BIG changes are happening in Disneyland. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening soon and is now going through its early previews.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Construction on the new Haunted Mansion queue and gift shop is still underway. Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree recently opened in what will soon be Bayou Country (goodbye, Critter Country). A new Coco ride and Avatar land is on the way. However, we just took a walk through Disneyland Resort and we noticed some recent changes that we’re excited about!
Disneyland’s reimagined Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree is finally open so you know we had to head over and grab a bite or several!
Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree
Disneyland is turning its Critter Country land into Bayou Country, which will conclude with the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in November. A major piece of Bayou Country will be the Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree — formerly known as the Hungry Bear Restaurant. After several months of refurbishment and retheming, we headed over to the NOW-OPEN Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree to try its new menu and check out the changes!
Lightning Lane Premier Pass has officially landed in Disneyland Resort.

We tested it out on its first day in Disneyland, and learned some VALUABLE lessons that mean we won’t make these same mistakes again!
Double the fun!
Breakout!
Earlier this month, Disney introduced the brand-new Lightning Lane Premier Pass to Disneyland. This new level of skip-the-line option allows one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane experience in both of the Disneyland Resort theme parks to enjoy at your leisure that day.
