food IS a theme park
It’s been over one year, but today, tickets for the reopening of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure went on sale!
Disneyland
As we probably should have expected, demand for these tickets is HIGH, leading to long wait times in a virtual queue. Earlier today, we even wondered: WHO is getting through on Disneyland’s website?!
ICYMI, Disney is redoing Jungle Cruise at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and giving this iconic, pun-filled boat ride a BRAND NEW storyline with new characters and scenes to replace some culturally insensitive depictions.
Jungle Cruise
There’s an interesting part of this reimagining, however. Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom is going to STAY OPEN, so we’ve gotten some insight on how this ride is being altered! So far, we’ve seen some BIG changes (goodbye, Trader Sam!) and some more subtle changes.
We have a tasty NEW Pixar recipe to share!

Lately we’ve heard quite a few updates related to the COVID-19 pandemic, masks, social distancing, and more.

We’ve gotten an update from the Orange County, Florida mayor about when masks and distancing rules may change, more adults are becoming eligible for the vaccine, and we’ve shared how Disney is providing vaccines to Cast Members. But, today we got an important update about COVID-19 vaccines and more shots that may be needed in the future.
Well, it has been quite the morning if you’re trying to grab tickets for Disneyland.

That includes hotel renovations, ride closures, menu tweaks, and SO much more. And if you’re planning a trip to EPCOT, you’ll want to be aware of some changes at La Hacienda de San Angel, which seems to be gradually reducing its hours.
Today is the day! Tickets went on sale today for Disneyland, which is reopening on April 30th, over a year after it closed.
