food IS a theme park
Halloween is an exciting time in the Disney parks!
Halloween at Disneyland
Disney recently announced that, for the first time since 2019, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be returning to the Magic Kingdom this year! We also got the news that the Oogie Boogie Bash will be returning to Disneyland Resort, as well. Now, we know when another popular Halloween tradition will be returning too.
Finally, we know what Halloween Time will look like in Disneyland Resort!
Oogie Boogie Bash
After we got a small taste of the holiday from the Halfway to Halloween event, we were anxiously awaiting news about what we could expect from the spooky season! And soon after, it was announced that Disney World’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash would return! Now, we know everything we can expect from the Halloween season in Disneyland!
Hello from the West Coast, DFB Friends!
Disney California Adventure
Things have been pretty busy over here in Disneyland — we’ve been celebrating Pride Month AND Celebrate Soulfully. Blue Bayou Restaurant just reopened, and we’ve been eating a LOT of new snacks. Summer in Disneyland IS LIT, y’all! So let’s see what’s new!
Are you ready to blast off to infinity and beyond with Disney’s new film Lightyear?!

The movie premieres in theaters on June 17th, and you can check out the latest trailers and even pre-order your tickets now! We’ve seen Lightyear-themed snacks and of course, plenty of merchandise. And now it looks like there’s a NEW Buzz Lightyear item that will be arriving in Disneyland SOON!
If you’ve never been to the GCH Craftsman Grill in Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa, you’re missing out on one thing: specialty hot dogs.
Craftsman Grill
The GCH Craftsman Grill features a new hot dog every month for Disneyland Resort, and we’ve had some interesting dogs! From a Gordita Dog to a Banh Mi Dog to the very strange Trick or Treat Dog, the Craftsman is not serving your typical theme park hot dogs. Now that it’s June it’s a new month which means — you guessed it — it’s time for a new hot dog! Any ideas about the theme this month? We doubt you’ll guess it!
Not long ago Disney announced the first-ever Disneyland After Dark: Grad Nite Reunion ticketed event, a four-hour event during which Disney will celebrate the last six decades of graduating classes in Disney California Adventure.

This event will allow guests to experience exclusive offerings not typically available in Disneyland Resort, such as special cafeteria-inspired dishes, characters, photo ops, entertainment, and more. Today Disney revealed a few more details about this brand new event, and we know the dates and some of the food that guests can choose from!
Disney parks: they’re the land of snacks and souvenirs, and some items that combine both of those things into 1!
Disneyland
One popular treat and merchandise combo comes in the form of popcorn buckets! We’ve seen all kinds of popcorn buckets released in the past, including ones shaped like Mickey balloons, ones themed to Figment (we’ll never forget that one!), and more. Now, a NEW popcorn bucket has arrived in Disneyland and it’s one you might not be able to resist grabbing! [Read more…]
Much like Disney World, Disneyland is home to some unique (and ICONIC!) restaurants.
Blue Bayou
If you head to Disney California Adventure, you can eat both giant AND teeny tiny foods at Pym Test Kitchen. Or maybe you want to eat in a Cars-inspired diner at Flo’s V-8 Cafe. One of the most unique eateries in Disneyland, though, could be Blue Bayou Restaurant because it lets you eat INSIDE an actual ride! But, those in search of the world-famous Monte Cristo (at least according to us) haven’t been able to visit the restaurant, as it was closed for refurbishment — until now!
