food IS a theme park
If you’re thinking about planning the perfect Disneyland trip, now might be the best time!

Summer is right around the corner and new experiences are on the horizon — like exciting new nighttime shows, new rides, and even brand-new lands. And, Disney just shared that a summer ticket deal is back for select guests!
Lucky you! Your Disney vacation is going to include tempting treats and memorable meals. To help you narrow down your dining options we have some recommendations. Previously, we’ve looked at the overall best places to dine at Disneyland. Now, we’re helping you with character dining for your trip to Disneyland Resort in California.
Minnie and Daisy!
If you have a small child in tow on your Disneyland trip, a character meal is practically a requirement. After all, most kiddos love meeting larger than life characters. But kids and adults alike can agree that meals are extra-special when they include Disney pals. And is it our imagination or does the food actually taste better too?!
Tuesday, May 31st, 2023, truly marked the end of an era for the Disney Parks. Yep, Splash Mountain closed at Disneyland, which means that the ride made its final splash.
So long, old friend!
As our friend Sharpay Evans would say, though, “It’s out with the old, and in with the new!” It’s only been two days since the Splash Mountain closure, and yet lots of changes have already been made in the area. When we visited Disneyland the very next day, we were honestly a little shocked at everything that had already been added or changed in the area. Let’s check it out.
Sure, it’s still summer, but we can’t help but look forward to Halloween.
2022 Oogie Boogie Bash
First, we are SO ready for all those amazing Halloween treats we’ll get to eat at Disneyland. We’re also excited about the Halloween decorations and the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay. Mostly, though, we are READY for Oogie Boogie Bash, Disney’s Halloween party at Disney California Adventure. Now, we know everything that’s been confirmed for the party so far.
If you’ve got a serious sweet tooth and love beignets, we’ve got some HUGE news to share with you.
Beignets Expressed in Disneyland
So, as you know, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney has been renovated into Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio (and recently opened per their Instagram account). Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen Express also just got an update and recently reopened as Beignets Expressed. Yep, this is a spot that is ALL about beignets, with MULTIPLE flavors to try. So we, obviously, had to go see — and taste — it for ourselves!
Disney loves changing things up on us — and the latest updates have come to the Pixar Place Hotel!

This re-themed hotel overlooks Disney California Adventure Park and will be complete with artwork and styles from classic Pixar films and animation studios. While the transformation isn’t complete just yet, the lobby is open — and we’re bringing you with us to check it out!
Halloween is only 5 short months away, and that means Disney is filling us in on the plans pertaining to the spooks that will take place this fall.
Halloween in Disneyland
Today, we found out that Disneyland’s Halloween season and Oogie Boogie Bash would take place between September 1st and October 31st, 2023. Along with the Halloween season will come a special fireworks show, “Halloween Screams,” but that means the current show will be taking a break for a while.
Sure, summer just started, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start looking forward to Halloween.
