A passion for purple has taken over the Disney Parks!
From the arrival of Purple Potion ears in mid-December, to the inevitable barrage of beautiful violet treats, purple is everywhere!
And now our Disneyland correspondent Heather (hi, @DiningInDisney!!) has spotted (and devoured!) an Ultraviolet Cake Pop! This subtly sparkly pop is perfectly paired with Purple Potion ears!

Heather tells us that the cake pop is chocolate, and the ears are white chocolate. She grabbed hers at Candy Palace, but she also spied it at Marceline’s!

wants to celebrate breakfast all day — in cupcake form! — and we are totally here for it! Sprinkles locations in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World and in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort (as well as locations everywhere else!) will serve up Cereal Cupcakes every week through early February!
Cereal Cupcakes in January!
These might look a little familiar because Sprinkles crafted these tasty, crunch cupcakes last January, too! Three of this year’s cupcakes — Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, and Lucky Charms — are returning!
Disneyland guests and annual passholders
were treated to a not-so-pleasant surprise this morning. Whether showing up at the park to buy a one day ticket or annual pass, everyone was greeted with a major price increase — including on the MaxPass service and daily parking as well.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
That’s right, if you’re planning a trip to Disneyland you’ll need to save more than a few more pennies to purchase your park tickets or annual passes with this price increase. Some prices went up as much as 25% overnight.
in Disneyland’s Adventureland is the place to go for healthier-than-the-usual-theme-park-grub when you’re gearing up for your Jungle Cruise, and our Disneyland correspondent Heather (Maeva, @DiningInDisney) has discovered a sweet, share-able treat that’s the perfect fuel for your fun.
Tropical Imports
The Tropical Bar is packed with flavors — from dried fruits, nuts, and coconut — that provide a lot of sweetness and sustainable energy. You’ll find them in a basket at the check-out, so it’s the perfect treat to grab-and-go!
What happens when you ask a Cast Member to “Spice up” your order at The Tropical Hideaway (Disneyland’s newest hangout in Adventureland)?

You get whatever you order topped with candied BACON. [Read more…]
