food IS a theme park
Last week, Disney announced layoffs that are set to affect thousands of its employees in the Disney Parks, Experiences and Products division of the Walt Disney Company.
Disneyland Gate
The announcement itself came from Josh D’Amaro, the current chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.
The Disneyland Resort theme parks have been closed for several months now.
Disney California Adventure Park
Although the California government’s theme park reopening guidelines were set to be issued last week, they were later postponed following pushback from several sources.
We’ve seen lots of gorgeous Danielle Nicole Disney-themed bags released lately!

From Rapunzel’s Frying Pan (frying pans, who knew?) to a Stitch Bag that’s got us feeling like we’re on a tropical vacation, there are so many beautiful bags to choose from! But, if you’re more of the villainous type, you’ll LOVE this new bag that just got released!
Yesterday, we got the chance to sing along with all of our Frozen friends at the newly reopened For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Frozen Show
This is one of the few spots you can see the Frozen sisters these days — the others being the Frozen Promenade cavalcade and the Frozen Ever After ride, both of which are in EPCOT. If you’re headed to Disney World in early November, however, you’ll have one less spot to catch up with your pals from Arendelle.
Halloween is still a few weeks away, but Disney is already gearing up for Christmas!
Mickey Shaped Ornaments From Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe
We spotted some cute new ornaments in Disney World, but online there’s a whole world of Christmas to be explored.
Earlier today, we shared that the characters are coming BACK to breakfast at Chef Mickey’s in Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
Chef Mickey’s
This spot originally reopened without characters and with a family-style meal instead of the typical buffet-style meal that used to be served here.
We’ve enjoyed saying hello to some our favorite characters (in modified ways) at spots like Garden Grill Restaurant and even Cinderella’s Royal Table.
Mickey and Pluto at Garden Grill Restaurant
Earlier this year, though, one spot — Chef Mickey’s in Disney’s Contemporary Resort — which has traditionally been a character meal, opened without Mickey and friends. But, that is about to change!
Recently, we spotted pieces from the Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Collection in Disney World.
Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Collection
This collection sold out incredibly quickly when it was first released online, and the items were flying off the shelves when we spotted them a few days ago in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
We’ve been making our way around Disney’s Hollywood Studios today and enjoying all of the new things there, including the newly reopened Frozen Sing-Along show.
Hollywood Studios Entrance
But, what’s a good park day without a little shopping? While Hollywood Studios is full of fun shops with all kinds of unique merchandise, today we noticed that another shop has officially reopened.
Tokyo Disneyland just opened its largest park expansion which includes a brand new Beauty and the Beast attraction with incredible effects (you NEED to watch this video), a super cute Baymax attraction, and more!

But, if you don’t live in Japan, you likely can’t exactly get to Tokyo Disney Resort at the moment.
