food IS a theme park
Downtown Disney has been open for a while, but the theme parks of Disneyland Resort may remain closed for longer than we expected.
Disney California Adventure
Today, Disneyland announced that Buena Vista Street INSIDE Disney California Adventure will open to the public for shopping and dining as an extension of Downtown Disney.
We recently shared that Disney had helped Make-A-Wish grant their 500,000th wish! Incredible, don’t ya think?

Well, guess what, Disney and Make-A-Wish aren’t done celebrating this iconic achievement just yet. In fact, Disney is actually releasing an all-new Wishes Come True merchandise collection in the Disney Parks, Downtown Disney, the Disney Stores, and online at shopDisney to celebrate.
If you know us, you know we love fried dough in all its many forms.
Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen
Downtown Disney has a pretty GREAT fried dough option over at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen and it’s accompanying counter-service concept, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen Express. Yes, we’re talking BEIGNETS ladies and gents — and they just got a fall makeover!
If one thing is certain, it’s that we miss Disneyland!
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
Luckily, Downtown Disney at Disneyland reopened on July 9th, so we can still shop and dine at some of our California favs like Salt & Straw or Black Tap! While some establishments remain closed, an absolute gem has reopened today!

Hello from Southern California! We took a stroll around Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort recently.

And we found loads of new stuff. Are you ready for the update?
We’re not going to lie — Baby Yoda stole our hearts during season 1 of The Mandalorian on Disney+. And we know we’re not alone, because Disney has released a TON of Baby Yoda merchandise — Pez dispensers, spirit jerseys, mugs, blankets, ornaments, and more!
Baby Yoda Blanket
We are so ready to indulge our obsession with Baby Yoda even more during The Mandalorian’s upcoming second season. And we’ve got the PERFECT headwear for watching the first episode on October 30th.
Hey all you ghouls and goblins! The Halloween season is in full swing in Downtown Disney, and today we’ve been tasting some of the newest spooky snacks to arrive at Marceline’s Confectionary!
Magic Mirror Krispie Treat
We already devoured their Magic Mirror Krispie Treat, and now we’re sinking our teeth (literally) into one of their delectable (and quite bewitching) caramel apples!
Although Disneyland and California Adventure remain closed, Downtown Disney reopened this summer. But some restaurants there are still closed and others are slowly reopening.
