Disneyland Park opened on July 17, 1955. But, of course, long before the park welcomed its first guests, The Walt Disney Company was founded on October 16th, 1923, and honored the milestone with Disney100 Years of Wonder: The 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company!
Disney 100 Years of Wonder spanned the Disney destinations across the globe, with each destination marking the occasion in its own way. In Disneyland Resort, the official celebration kicked off on January 27th, 2023. The event delivered new decorations, new experiences, new merchandise, and specialty food and beverages (along with fun novelty items) to Disneyland Resort (and the other Disney destinations)!
On this page, we gathered all of our reviews of the specialty eats, fun finds, and novelty items that popped up around the Disneyland Resort theme parks (Disneyland and Disney California Adventure), the Downtown Disney District.
