food IS a theme park
When it comes to nighttime shows, NO ONE does it like Disney.
World of Color
Right now in Disneyland, you’ve got the amazing holiday fireworks show that happens on select nights in Disneyland Park (pro tip: Star Wars fans should watch from the Millennium Falcon). There’s also World of Color — Season of Light in Disney California Adventure, which now has a little something NEW.
The Walt Disney Company is still celebrating its 100th Anniversary, which is a VERY big deal.
Happy birthday, you two!
Magic Kingdom recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Disneyland celebrated its 68th birthday this year. But there’s another very IMPORTANT date in Disney history that we can’t forget. That is November 18th, TODAY, which marks the 95th birthday of Mickey and Minnie!
The Disney Parks and resorts have been a whirl of excitement lately, and that includes Disneyland!
Great Maple
Paradise Pier hotel is slowly but surely being transformed into the Pixar Place Hotel. While this construction isn’t set to be completed until January 30th, 2024, visitors can already dine at the hotel’s new restaurant. Great Maple is a “Southern California-based modern American eatery” that serves upscale versions of traditional American comfort foods. The best part? You can eat here for three meals a day! We’re headed there now to check it all out, and even try a few of the dishes. Come along with us!
It’s official — Fantasmic! will be returning to Disneyland in 2024!
Fantasmic! at Disneyland Resort
You can catch this show currently in Disney World, but after an unexpected fire destroyed the Maleficent dragon animatronic in Disneyland, the show has been indefinitely closed while they revamp the design. Now that it’s been announced the show is returning, remember that these two things will be very different when the show returns.
We’ve been waiting for what seems like FOREVER to venture overseas to Hong Kong Disneyland to check out the world’s first EVER fully Frozen-themed land: World of Frozen.
World of Frozen
Y’all. It is gorgeous. It is truly one of the most magical things we have ever experienced. We’ve shopped for souvenirs, we rode the world’s first Frozen-themed roller coaster, and we even got to meet some fan-favorite characters from the film. While we expected some characters to be there, we did run into other… unexpected ones. Let’s talk about it!
We are so excited for the official opening of the reimagined Pixar Place Hotel over in Disneyland — January isn’t that far away!

This hotel used to be Paradise Pier, but will now be fully themed to Pixar when it reopens. That includes the Great Maple Restaurant, which opened its doors on November 15th! Check out the first look at the reimagined inside with us.
As HUGE Frozen fans, we’ve been looking forward to this day for quite some time.
World of Frozen
Today, we’re visiting World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland, and specifically, we’re here to showcase all the new rides and attractions that the land has to offer, including Hong Kong Disneyland’s own version of the Frozen Ever After ride that you can experience at EPCOT. We were super curious to see how the two rides would differ, and now that we’ve gone on the new ride ourselves, we’re here to tell y’all about it!
If you’ve been a long-time Disneyland goer, then you’ve probably visited Beast’s Library in Disney California Adventure.
Pixar Pal-A-Round and Incredicoaster
This “secret” library is nestled inside Sorcerer’s Workshop and allowed visitors to immerse themselves into the library where Belle and Beast spent so much time together. This experience is a fan-favorite for many, as there’s a changing photo in the center of a room that switches from the Beast to Prince Adam. Further, there’s a magical book that will tell you which Disney character best fits your personality! This is a beloved experience for many, but we have some sad news.
November 17th is a BIG day for Star Wars fans and Wookies everywhere. It’s Life Day!
Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland
Life Day is when Wookies celebrate what’s most important to them — culture, family, joy, and harmony. It’s not only celebrated by Wookies, so Star Wars fans, this is your invitation. Of course, this means we can expect some exciting things at the Disney parks. But, we spy with our little eye something CONTROVERSIAL coming for this holiday.
If you’re visiting Disneyland during the holidays and not thinking about grabbing something to gift yourself, you TOTALLY should! And we’ve got the ultimate YOU gift!
Howdy, Mater!
Now that the Festival of Holidays is officially underway and all of the festive decorations have finally appeared, we’ve got to talk about this year’s MUST-GRAB souvenir, and no, believe it or not, it’s not Mickey! [Read more…]
