food IS a theme park
Happy holidays from the West Coast — yes, the holidays have arrived in Disneyland.
Holiday Ears and a Snowy Castle
The snow is on the castle, we just learned about an EPIC musical holiday bucket arriving soon, and the food booths are out for the Disney California Adventure Festival of the Holidays. So while we’re gearing up for a fantastic holiday season in the parks, let’s see what else is new here!
Hello from the West Coast! It’s Halloween weekend here in Disneyland, although the snow on Sleeping Beauty Castle might suggest otherwise.
Halloween in Disneyland
But that’s okay — we know the holidays are right around the corner and we’re as ready as anyone to get our hands on one of those world-famous Disneyland candy canes and we can’t wait to check out all the food booths at California Adventure’s Festival of Holidays. In the meantime, though, let’s see what’s new!
The Walt Disney Company turns 100 next year, and Disney has some BIG plans to celebrate.
100 Years of Wonder
There will be some cool 100th anniversary merchandise (including a sweet spirit jersey AND platinum ears). Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland will get a special 100th anniversary makeover. The first day of the event is January 27th, 2023, and now EVERYONE can book park pass reservations for that day!
Halloween Time is in full swing in Disneyland, even if the holiday snow is already on Sleeping Beauty Castle.
What’s this?
Oogie Boogie Bash is still going on, but you’ll also be able to buy candy canes soon. It’s that time of year that makes us feel like we’re living in Nightmare Before Christmas, so let’s see what’s new at Disneyland Resort!
Get ready to celebrate all things merry and bright — the Festival of Holidays is returning to Disneyland Resort soon!
Honey Guava Pisco Punch
From November 11th, 2022 through January 8th, 2023, the festival will be offered at Disney California Adventure Park. It’ll feature all kinds of entertainment, appearances by Santa Claus (of course!), and the chance to munch on some unique food. We’ve been eagerly awaiting more news about this festival and we FINALLY got a huge update!
A LOT of exciting things are coming to Disneyland Resort!
Disneyland Monorail
We recently learned that M’Baku from Black Panther and Wakanda Forever will soon be meeting guests at Avengers Campus. We also learned a LOT about the Walt Disney Company’s plans to celebrate its 100th anniversary AT Disneyland, including a new look for Sleeping Beauty Castle. In the meantime, we’ve got more updates to share with you from the West Coast!
We are still processing all of the news that came out of the D23 Expo about Disneyland.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
We enjoyed seeing more concept art of what the reimagined ToonTown is going to look like, we learned that a new Princess and the Frog store will be opening soon, and we can’t WAIT to see more about the new attraction coming to Avengers Campus. In the meantime, though, there’s still a lot of new stuff happening around Disneyland every day, so let’s get to the updates!
Did you know that there’s a lot to do in Disneyland at night?
Grad Nite at Disney California Adventure
There are some fun separately ticketed nighttime events that guests can attend: there’s a Halloween party, a holiday party, and even Star Wars nights! There’s also a Grad Nite event, which is for graduating high school seniors — and we now have more information about the event for the class of 2023, including ticket prices.
It’s spooky season at Disneyland Resort, and that means there’s a LOT of excitement in the air!
It’s Halloween Time!
With Oogie Boogie Bash happening on select nights, decorations in the parks, and a bunch of new merchandise, there are plenty of reasons to visit. But if you’re not convinced, then we’ve got some small souvenirs that might tempt you!
Disneyland has already had some exciting news this week!
Buzz Lightyear at Pixar Pier
Thanks to the D23 Expo, we’ve already got a new look at the reimagining of Mickey’s ToonTown, we’ve learned about an expansion to Avengers Campus which will include a new attraction, AND we got an opening date for a brand new Tiana-themed store! But there’s still loads to get caught up on in Disneyland, so let’s get to even MORE updates!
