food IS a theme park
Y’all — Disneyland is where it’s AT these days.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
First, so much new stuff has either come to the parks or IS coming to the parks. We got a brand-new ToonTown, including Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. A new Tiana-themed restaurant is coming soon PLUS there’s a Marvel musical going on RIGHT NOW. Just whoa! If you’ve ever wanted to visit Disneyland, this could be your chance because Disney is giving away a FREE trip to its resort on the West Coast!
Disney is always marking some kind of birthday or anniversary.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Disney World just spent 18 months celebrating its 50th anniversary. Disney’s Animal Kingdom just celebrated its 25th birthday. The Walt Disney Company is celebrating its 100th anniversary right now. Disneyland will be celebrating a birthday soon, too – it’s 68th. Now we know how Disneyland plans on celebrating that milestone!
Summer 2023 has been a BIG season for movie releases!

The live-action The Little Mermaid kicked off a season filled with additions from the Fast & the Furious and Transformers franchises, as well as another film from Pixar. To round out the summer, we’ll get the highly-anticipated Barbie movie from Greta Gerwig and Disney’s new film Haunted Mansion. And if you’re really excited about that last one, we’ve got some news for you!
Welcome back to Disneyland, friends!
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Disneyland has lots of exciting things happening — new menus were just announced for 5 restaurants, Tiana’s Palace has a sign in the park, Oogie Boogie tickets are getting ready to go back on sale, and so much more. But we think it’s time for us to return to a spot we haven’t visited in a while, so come with us to check out Goofy’s Kitchen!
We KNOW it’s still July, but that doesn’t mean that we have to wait to get prepped for spooky season!
Halloween in Disneyland Resort
Disney kicks off Halloween celebrations in Magic Kingdom in August (which is NEXT MONTH!) and Disneyland Resort starts celebrating in September. One of the big ways that the west coast celebrates is with the very popular Oogie Boogie Bash event — and we’ve got some important news about that party.
It is a BIG day for Disney fans hoping to grab tickets to a Halloween Party.
Oogie Boogie at the Oogie Boogie Bash!
Oogie Boogie Bash is a very popular Halloween party that takes place at Disneyland Resort. Tickets for the event initially went on sale to the general public at the end of June (after Magic Key Holder tickets sold out in the pre-sale), and it’s safe to say that things did NOT go well. Sales were paused, and it was announced last week that ticket sales would resume today. However, if you are wanting tickets, you better act FAST!

We are LOVING all the new Princess and the Frog representation coming to Disneyland.

We love seeing Tiana in the Magic Happens parade. We can’t WAIT to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when it opens. However, we may be MOST excited about Tiana’s Palace Restaurant because, well…food! We’ve been following along with the construction of the restaurant, and something NEW and exciting turned up recently!
We are SO looking forward to the new Haunted Mansion movie coming to theaters later this month.
The Haunted Mansion
Recently, three celebrities from the film were spotted promoting the movie in Disneyland, and during our recent visit to Disneyland, we spotted a new pair of ears that we might HAVE to own.
One of the best things about Halloween in Disneyland is the Haunted Mansion Holiday layover.
Haunted Mansion Holiday
For a limited time, characters from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas take over the attraction in a spooky/festive fashion. We already knew that the Haunted Mansion Holiday would return beginning on September 1st, but now we know when the ride will have to CLOSE in order for the Cast Members to create the overlay magic.
