Disneyland Resort is home to TONS of special treats right now thanks to Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration, and we’re loving it!
A lot of the snacks are inside Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, but not ALL of them! We just headed over to Downtown Disney and got to try some of the special snacks and drinks you can grab at Parkside for the celebration, and trust us when we say you won’t want to miss them!
Parkside Market is located in Downtown Disney, and it’s a great place to head if you’re looking for some lighter eats and great drinks!
For Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary, there are multiple new options you can grab, and we’re starting with the drinks! The Joy and Inspiration is flamingo pick, refreshing fruity, and doesn’t have a strong alcohol taste, which we enjoyed.
You can also grab the 70th Monorail Mocktail! This is very fun with the printed 70th logo, and is sweet but flavorful — a great choice for those who don’t like to drink/aren’t able to drink.
There’s also a whole secret menu you can order drinks off of, too! In order to get this secret menu, you’ll need to say, “I’d like to wake up the glee club.”
The Michael and Pierre drinks are ADORABLE, and we personally preferred the Michael (green) — the peach and lime were stand out flavors and it was very easy to drink. The Pierre (white), on the other hand, was pretty strong and was very rum heavy, which we weren’t big fans. Unfortunately, these cups aren’t for sale, so you won’t be able to take them home with you!
Two other drinks available on the secret menu are the FiFi…
…and the Fritz’s Thunder!
As for the eats, these are priced between $8-$10 — when we visited, official menus weren’t ready just yet! First up for us was the Chips & Guacamole, and this was a MASSIVE portion of guacamole that was very good, smooth, and had great flavor. The house made chips are fantastic, and the puffy ones are almost stuffable — you can take a bite then fill with guacamole.
The Fried Pickles & Spicy Aioli are thinly sliced salty goodness. The batter is light which makes them more like chips. If you are a pickle fan, we say try them! The aioli was also nice — not too spicy, but we think the pickles stand really well on their own too.
The Buffalo Chicken Dip was our favorite! It’s served warm with the house made chips, it’s not too spicy, and is savory with lots of flavor. Not to mention it’s a great portion, especially for the price!
Finally, we had the Waffle Fries. These were probably our least favorite item. They’re nothing too special, but are fine to share. However, if you add the buffalo dip to them, you’ve got a real winner, so that’s a snack hack to keep in mind!
We’re looking forward to continuing to try all the exciting new snacks around the resort, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB!
