food IS a theme park
Okay, Marvel fans, brace yourself because we’ve got some pretty big news to share with you.

We’re sure you’re probably already aware of the HUGE Marvel representation in Disneyland, especially at Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus. Maybe you’ve even been there to meet your favorite Marvel superhero. Well, a certain movie musical seen in the Hawkeye series on Disney+ will soon be heading that way — FOR REAL.
There’s no denying that many Disney fans are pretty serious about what they love. But just how far will they go?
One final ride
We’ve seen guests wait over six hours for a popcorn bucket which then resold for hundreds of dollars above its original price, so we’d have to say pretty far. But this newest “park souvenir” takes Disney fanaticism to a whole ‘nother level!

This summer, the area will re-open as San Fransokyo, the setting of the Disney animated film Big Hero 6 and a melting pot that blends East and West cultures with a futuristic spin.
Welcome to Avengers Campus, where Marvel superheroes roam around and greet guests, and Spider-Man recruits you to help him find some runaway Spider-bots.
You can count on this spot to deliver unique dishes!
But there’s MORE to Avengers Campus than meets the eye because you’ll find some interesting food and drinks here, too, including at Pym Test Kitchen and Pym Tasting Lab, where Pym Particles have either made your food GIANT or tiny (we’re just going to blame Ant-Man). So we’re heading over there to try a few things!
Carthay Circle Restaurant in Disney California Adventure is known for Southern California-inspired cuisine, specialty cocktails, and entree prices around $50. Whew.

But what if we told you there’s another way to experience this iconic Disneyland spot WITHOUT breaking the bank? We’re headed to the accompanying Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining to try out the much-loved bar service and small plates — with a more palatable price tag.
Plenty of guests are flocking to Disneyland for the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary celebrations!

Despite having plenty to offer at the moment (special treats, Disney100 merch, a brand-new ride), there’s one day next week when you might NOT want to be in Disneyland.
Punxsutawney Phil predicted we’re in for a few more weeks of winter, which is bad news for those of us who are longing for sunnier skies.
A new treat!
Despite the gloomy outlook, we can still pretend it’s summer by taking part in our favorite warm-weather activities like snacking on sweet treats, and this new item in Disneyland might be just the thing to cheer us up.
There’s a lot of limited-edition merchandise and snacks in Disneyland right now!
A new Disneyland snack!
With the Walt Disney Company 100th Anniversary celebrations underway, we’ve seen a lot of new items themed after the anniversary. It is a momentous occasion and only happens once! But another thing you might notice about some of the limited-edition items: the prices might be higher than most regular merchandise and treats in the park.
Pym Test Kitchen is the place to go if you’re an adventurous eater.
You can count on this spot to deliver unique dishes!
Besides dishes that take inspiration from the Ant-Man films and play with size, you can also dine on eccentric eats you won’t find anywhere else in Disneyland. Tried their whole menu? It’s time to head back because they just added a new dish!
Things are constantly changing in Disneyland — it’s all part of Walt Disney’s original dream for the parks.

New rides open, new lands arrive, and park policies change. When Disneyland re-introduced park hopping after its extended closure, guests could not park hop until after 1PM. Well, we’ve got some big news — you can now park hop EARLIER in Disneyland.
