food IS a theme park
The heroes are rising.

While much of the attention coming out of the D23 Ultimate Fan Event focused on the announcement of the new lands coming to Disney World, including the Magic Kingdom’s long-anticipated Villain’s Land, there was another much more heroic expansion confirmed at the event that we’re equally as excited for!
There are a lot of differences between Disney World and Disneyland. For example, Disneyland is a bit smaller (actually, it’s just more compact) and has Sleeping Beauty Castle whereas Disney World has Cinderella Castle.
Avengers Campus
Disneyland also has some rides that Disney World doesn’t have, and vice versa. However, one of the biggest differences is that Disneyland can go ALL out with Marvel on the West Coast, whereas Disney World cannot on the East Coast (because of an old contract Marvel has with Universal). So that’s why you’ll find Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure, as well as a host of Marvel characters. Well, one of those characters is Deadpool (and we honestly NEVER expected him to be in a Disney Park), and he’s now reading holiday stories to visitors. Yep, this is really a thing — and us Disney World-regulars are a little jealous.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is officially open at Disneyland!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
The ride opened to everyone on November 15th after previews for Cast Members, Magic Key Holders, and others. The ride is pretty similar to the one that opened at Disney World earlier this year, other than a few key differences. We’ve noticed less empty space or dark rooms on the ride, the ride vehicle is different than at Magic Kingdom, and a few other things are different. One of the biggest differences, though, that we noticed may have a significant impact on the rest of your day in the park.
Happy Holidays!
Disneyland Christmas Parade
The holiday season has officially arrived at Disneyland Resort and we are making our way through ALL of it, seeing and doing all the things at the Disneyland Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure and enjoying all the additional holiday food and entertainment. Now, it’s no secret that Disneyland goes HARD on seasonal snacks, so we also just made our way through a TON of holiday treats and now we’re sharing our thoughts on ALL of them.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is now open on the West Coast, and Disneyland is celebrating big!
Tiana’s Palace in Disneyland
For the new ride, we’ve seen lots of fun merchandise and special offerings, but one thing we’re most excited to try is the new menu at Tiana’s Palace. Let’s go check out some new eats!
Can you believe it? We’re finally here! Now we can take a trip down the bayou with Tiana and all of her friends at both Disney World and Disneyland!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
If you remember, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened in Disney World over the summer, and Disneyland’s version of the ride opened yesterday! Now that the attractions are complete on both coasts, we’ve actually got a hot take about the ride that you didn’t know you needed!
It is finally time to go down the bayou with Tiana and all of her friends at Disneyland!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
While Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened in Disney World over the summer, Disneyland’s version of the ride opened today! With the opening of this attraction, Bayou Country, which was re-imagined from Critter Country, is also officially complete! We are here on opening day, and we were surprised by the crowd levels in Bayou Country on this attraction’s opening day.
We’ve finally taken a trip down the bayou!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
We’ve finally had a chance to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland and there’s one question on the minds of many Disney fans: Is it different than the version in Walt Disney World? After all, while both are refurbishments of Splash Mountain, there were a lot of differences between the respective East and West Coast versions of that attraction.
A BIG addition is coming to Disneyland Park!
Disneyland
We’ve been watching the construction of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for months now, and after the opening of the same ride in Magic Kingdom, we’re even more eager to check out the Disneyland version. It’s opening soon, and now we’ve got a FIRST LOOK inside the ride!
What could make a runDisney event even better? Disney VILLAINS, of course!
It’s Maleficent!
Disneyland’s first Half Marathon Weekend got off to a running start this year and joined the ranks of some of our favorite runDisney events like Disney World’s Princess Half Marathon weekend and the Wine & Dine races. But, if you thought that the first half marathon in Disneyland had already run its course, get ready because we’re getting another go at it and it’s getting even spookier!
