food IS a theme park
We’re just about a month out from the reopening of the Disneyland Resort theme parks!

As we gear up for our return to the parks, we also get to get PUMPED about all of the eats we’ll get to taste. Sure, we’ve gotten to have some of our favorites at A Touch of Disney events, but now we’re looking at some new and returning eats that are coming to the Resort!
Happy MARCH, y’all! As we spring into a new month, we’re peeking once again at what Salt & Straw in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District is scooping up for seasonal flavors!
Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney
Five flavors from the Vault Series have been re-released for a limited time. And one of those flavors — Brown Ale and Bacon Ice Cream — is getting the spotlight as Salt & Straw has shared a “Behind the Scoops” look at how it’s made! [Read more…]
When it comes to unique ice cream flavors, Downtown Disney’s Salt & Straw comes up with some super interesting combinations — spiked eggnog ice cream anyone?

We also loved the holiday flavors the shop released in December! But for the New Year, Salt & Straw is introducing its Vegandulgence flavors, which are 100% plant-based!
Just a few days ago, we were munching on holiday cupcakes and more all around Disneyland Resort and the newly reopened Buena Vista Street.

But, things have quickly changed in California. Last week, Governor Newsom announced that stay-at-home orders would be imposed for regions based on ICU availability. This weekend, Southern California (the region that Disneyland Resort is located in) reached the set ICU capacity level, triggering the stay-at-home order for that region. Under this new order, restaurants can only be open for takeout or delivery. Disneyland confirmed that some of the restaurants at the resort would remain open for takeout under this order, while others would entirely close. Here’s a full list of what restaurants are and are not open at Disneyland Resort based on our trip today.
Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney is known for its unique flavors — we’re talking turkey-flavored ice cream, okay?

Salt & Straw is also known to put together tasty, themed ice cream series featuring flavors that just go together. This holiday season, in collaboration with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, there’s a new ice cream pack showcasing festive flavors that even Dwanta Claus himself approves of.
Here at DFB, we aren’t known to say no to dessert. We love trying out the different flavors and creations that Disney makes!
Kakamora Float from Aloha Isle Refreshments
Our love for everything sweet has made us really excited about these ice cream flavors being released by Salt & Straw! There’s something a little bit different about these flavors though…they could be a part of our Thanksgiving meals!
Although Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure are still closed, the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort, with all of its fantastic stores and restaurants, is open!
Downtown Disney!
We’ve enjoyed several speciality shopping events there and even gotten the chance to check out the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise.
Disneyland’s shopping and dining district, Downtown Disney, is set to begin reopening on July 9th.

And with Downtown Disney preparing to welcome back guests in just a few weeks, we’re beginning to learn when specific locations will reopen their doors!
