food IS a theme park
On October 20th, the state of California released its reopening guidelines.
Disneyland at Christmas
Although Disneyland has not released a reopening date yet, we can’t help but wonder what the west coast parks will look like when they do reopen. Based on the guidelines, this is what we expect Disneyland’s reopening to look like for guests!
We are SO into the holiday season at Disney World, and we’ve been enjoying all the new and colorful decorations we’ve been seeing at Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom!

But we just noticed that one EPCOT attraction just recently got a bit of a holiday cheer, too!
Back at the beginning of October, Disneyland Paris implemented the Virtual Queue Disney Standby Pass.

Just over a week later, the Standby Pass system was temporarily paused in order to improve the experience for guests. And now, the Standby Pass has made it’s way to Disneyland Paris…again!
We would never have thought so many Disney attractions would get their own movies, but so far we’ve seen the success of a full series of movies based on Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as a lesser successful film based on the Haunted Mansion (although that film is reportedly getting a reboot!).
Space Mountain
There’s also a Jungle Cruise movie on the way (in case you’ve forgotten). But now another Disney attraction reportedly has a film in the works: Space Mountain!
We’re not just interested in all things Haunted Mansion on Halloween — our love for this attraction knows no season!
Cast Members outside the Haunted Mansion
We couldn’t help but DIE over the new Dooney & Bourke Haunted Mansion bags we found, but now we’ve uncovered some NEW Haunted Mansion bags at Hot Topic that are perfect for attending a swinging wake!
Tokyo Disney Resort has certainly been busy since its reopening! Not only did the resort recently resume nightly fireworks and parades in its parks, but it also JUST resumed character meet and greets!

But there have been other changes at Tokyo Disney Resort, too! Three BRAND NEW attractions will open on September 28th at Tokyo Disneyland!
So much is happening at Tokyo Disney Resort! Not only have the theme parks reopened there, but the resort also recently resumed nightly fireworks and parades, as well as character meet and greets!
Tokyo Disneyland Castle
But there have also been some other fun additions to Tokyo Disneyland, too, including several new attractions!
It’s officially SPOOKY season, and that means we can celebrate the Haunted Mansion even more than we normally do! We’ve seen a lot of really cool Haunted Mansion merch in the parks, including Haunted Mansion Crocs (!!!), Haunted Mansion Loungefly bags, and a Haunted Mansion wallpaper mask.
Haunted Mansion Hitchhiking Ghosts Figure
But there’s one specific character in the Haunted Mansion that’s been getting a lot of attention lately!
Although Tokyo Disneyland’s “The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast” attraction was initially set to open in April, the global health crisis shut down the theme parks and delayed construction on the ride.

However, now that Tokyo Disneyland has reopened, the attraction is set to open its doors on September 28th.
Like other Disney Resorts and theme parks, Tokyo Disney Resort experienced a closure due to the global health crisis. The closure stalled construction on some of the resort’s planned attractions, including one based on Beauty and the Beast that was initially set to open in April.

Japan lifted the nationwide state of emergency in May, and Tokyo Disney Resort reopened in July. After that, construction on the attraction resumed, and now it’s almost ready for guests!
