food IS a theme park
If we have the opportunity to add plastic cheese to something, well, you know we’re going to do it!
Time for tots!
We try to get our hands on it whenever we can — we love dipping our Mickey pretzels in it, as well as our corn dog nuggets!
Although Disneyland is discontinuing its Annual Passholder program, those who had active passes since March 14th, 2020 have been renamed Legacy Passholders.
Disney California Adventure
As such, Disney has offered Legacy Passholders several discounts, along with a few other perks, including some special opportunities at the upcoming A Touch of Disney event at Disney California Adventure.
Every spring, the Disneyland Resort celebrates all things Easter Eggs! And we aren’t just talking about those delicious handmade fudge eggs. Disney also scatters character-themed Easter Eggs around the theme parks and Downtown Disney. It’s a fun activity for the entire family that Disneyland has hosted for years, and you can purchase a map to hunt them all down (with a special prize for those who complete the map!).
Fudge Easter Egg
Since the parks closed before the Easter season last year, we missed out on our annual Easter Egg hunt around Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. But it looks like for 2021, we’ll soon be able to take part in the springtime festivities!
We love getting to see our favorite Disney pals!
Donald Duck
In the past few days, we’ve spotted some ADORABLE new encounters with iconic Disney faces in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We’ve seen Goofy waving from atop Hyperion Theater, Chip & Dale having a picnic, and Donald gardening. Today, Donald Duck took a break from his plants to give us a very important PSA.
Every time we turn around, Disney is releasing a brand new pair of Minnie Ears!
ALLLLLL the ears…
Most recently, we’ve seen EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Orange Bird ears (ORANGE BIRD!), Disney California Adventure ears, and Balloon ears! And more are coming every single day! We can’t keep up — but we certainly try! We just found a NEW pair of Loungefly Minnie Ears that literally has icons of all our favorite things on them.
When you’re at Disney Springs you might want to build in some time to plan where you want to eat BEFORE you get hungry. Once you’re in the hunger zone, it’s risky because there are A LOT of restaurants to choose from!
Disney Springs
There’s Irish food with a show at Raglan Road, a quick delicious burger from D-Luxe Burger, and you can even eat surrounded by dinosaurs in T-Rex (oh, and WAY more than this!). With so many different flavors and places to choose from, how is one to know where to eat your next meal? Well, we can always be swayed by a good discount, and this Disney Springs restaurant may help you solidify your plans.
Starbucks is a great place to get your caffeine fix both in and out of Disney World.
Starbucks!
It’s also home to some seriously cool secret menu recipes. We’ve long been fans of trying out the different Disney-inspired secret menu drinks at Starbucks and today, we’ve come up with our very own Raya and the Last Dragon drinks and we want to tell YOU how to order them!
We spotted something SUPER exciting in Disneyland today!
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
The park has remained closed since March 2020, but Disney recently announced it could reopen in late April. And while we were passing the main entrance gate today, we spotted a BIG sign that we’re makin’ progress on that reopening.
2021 is Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Cinderella Castle
To celebrate, we’re getting new costumes for Mickey and Minnie and even a ride’s grand opening! The celebration will be 18 months long, and we can’t wait for it to kick off on October 1st! But a HUGE part of the anniversary are the mini-transformations coming to each of the park’s icons, and today, we got a closer look at one of them.
Disney California Adventure will reopen its gate soon meaning there might be a few more people hanging out around Downtown Disney!
A Touch of Disney banner already up in the park!
On March 18th, the park will reopen Thursdays through Mondays for the special ticketed event, A Touch of Disney. Needless to say, we’re pretty excited to be back eating and drinking our way through all the different lands. And, Disney is giving us even MORE time to meander around Downtown Disney after the event ends!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
