food IS a theme park
Are you ready to eat and drink your way around Disney California Adventure?
DCA Food & Wine Sign
Well, your chance will be coming up soon with the Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival. The festival begins on February 28th and runs through April 21st, and this year’s food booth line-up includes one NEW food booth. But let’s talk about the menus…Disney just dropped the FULL menus for all of this year’s Food and Wine Festival booths.
We’ll admit we’re a little jealous of Disneyland because of Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure, especially now that the land is about to get even bigger with an expansion that will include two new rides.
Avengers Campus
You can even meet all your favorite Marvel characters there, too, which is not something you can do in Disney World (and we’ve gone over why that is a few times). Well, a new Marvel movie, Captain America: Brave New World, is about to drop and now Disneyland is getting some AMAZING Marvel food (and yep, we’re still jealous). But one of these new snacks has us wondering if Disney didn’t just embrace the pizza pocket in honor of the new movie.
It’s always sad when a Disneyland ride closes, even if it’s not a super popular ride.
Red Car Trolley
For example, in Disney California Adventure, we were very sad to see Tower of Terror close, although we LOVE the ride that replaced it, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout. Well, another ride has closed in that park, and let’s just say we were shocked at how popular this ride suddenly became a day before its permanent closure. Yes, the Red Car Trolley is officially gone forever, but we managed to get one last ride on it before it closed.
You just can never escape ride closures in Disneyland. Sometimes, rides go down temporarily for issues. Other times, rides close for routine maintenance.
However, Disneyland Resort has plans to close multiple attractions this spring, including “it’s a small world,” Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, and The Disneyland Story Presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Well, now, it’s time to add ANOTHER ride to the list that will be temporarily closing soon, and it’s another popular one: Indiana Jones Adventure.
There’s been a major update at a popular Disney restaurant!
Cozy Cone Motel
Previously, at the Cozy Cone Motel at Disney California Adventure — a “restaurant” comprised of multiple different cone counters — you had to line up at each individual Cozy Cone to place your order. But, Disney has made a change that will now make it a whole lot easier for folks to order from this dining spot!
Mark your calendars — an ICONIC Disney California Adventure is discontinuing service PERMANENTLY this weekend.
Disney California Adventure
After nearly 13 years of service up and down parts of Disney California Adventure, Red Car Trolley is closing for good this Sunday, February 9th, 2025. The last day to get a ride in is February 8th before the attraction gives way for some BRAND-NEW rides.
Okay, so the beginning of the year is when Disney does a LOT of scheduled maintenance on things, including pools, hotels, and rides.
Avengers Campus
So it’s no surprise when so many things close this time of year for that scheduled maintenance. However, over in Disneyland, There’s already so much construction going on, what with a new Coco ride and Avatar-themed land coming. Well, in addition to that, a super popular ride, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout in Disney California Adventure is closing on March 1st for refurbishment.
Please keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle at all times — this is a big one!
Disneyland
It’s a new year and big things are happening at the Disneyland Resort! But before we look ahead to future attractions, let’s take a step back and look at the existing rides at the resort and which ones you should absolutely prioritize in 2025!
Disneyland guests have been spoiled with a litany of great new food options lately, from the seasonal specialties during the park’s Lunar New Year celebrations to a new Peanut Butter Flavored Mickey Waffle treat to a Snack-sized Mardi Gras Monte Cristo to Nutella-Stuffed Mickey Waffles!
The Price
On our most recent trip to the resort, we sampled another new offering: The Peanut Butter Raspberry Chocolate Square.
New snacks are coming out in droves over in Disneyland Resort, and we’re ready to try them all!
Disneyland
It’s important to us that you know what snacks are totally worth your hard-earned money, and which ones very well may leave you regretful and disappointed. We have to admit that this new snack in Disney California Adventure had us a little nervous, but we left very surprised — it may be our new favorite go-to lunch in the park now!
