It’s Halloween time in Disneyland!
Halloween in Disneyland!
While we’ve celebrated Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party over at Magic Kingdom in Disney World, it’s now time to visit the East Coast parks for some Halloween fun! Oogie Boogie Bash starts on August 25th, but we headed to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure to check out some new Halloween treats ahead of the spooky party. Come on, let’s go to try the new eats!
It’s pizza time!!!
Yummmmmm
We had a major craving for pizza (preferably not of the puffy kind) and decided to stop by Disney Springs to see how things were going over at Blaze Pizza. While there, we tried some of their brand-new menu items and wanted to share our thoughts with y’all.
How can you avoid Disneyland’s crowds? Where can you experience the BEST parts of the parks minus the wait times? And what are the best Disneyland shortcuts? We’ve got LOADS of good (and super-easy) tricks for you.

If you’re getting ready to head to Anaheim to explore the OG Disneyland resort area, then you’re gonna want to make sure you’ve got all your “Disney” ducks in a row before you go. So today, we’re gonna throw out several Disneyland tips that have personally helped us out during our past west coast visits — and we hope you feel the same about ‘em too.
Well, here we are again.
SO MUCH FOOD
To the surprise of NO ONE, the DFB team has eaten MORE food at Disney World this year that we NEED to share with you RIGHT NOW (so you don’t miss a potential new favorite during your 2024 vacation)!

And it makes sense because this brand-new ship coming to the Disney Cruise Line fleet has so many new things for us to experience, like the Aristocats-themed lounge and Haunted Mansion Parlor. We’re just beside ourselves with all the excitement. But before we get too far ahead, and since we’re talking about these lounges and the food they’re going to have there, it got us thinking about another experience that’s unique to the Disney Cruise Line — rotational dining. Let’s talk about it and see if you should skip it or not!
We’re at the first night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party for 2024!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2024
This specially ticketed event takes place in Magic Kingdom on select nights now through October 31st. There is so much to do, see, and eat at this event. There are exclusive character meet-and-greats, trick-or-treating, specialty entertainment, exclusive snacks, shorter lines for rides, and exclusive souvenirs. While we were hanging out at the party doing and seeing everything there is to do, we happened to notice a REALLY long line, but you might be surprised to know that it was NOT for a ride!
It’s time to get spooooOOOOOooooky! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has officially kicked off at Magic Kingdom, and we’re here to check out everything…especially the FOOD.
Magic Kingdom
While we’re excited to check out Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, where you can meet rare characters, see exclusive entertainment, ride rides with shorter wait times, and purchase specialty food that’s ONLY available at the event, there are some snacks you can get all day long! That’s what we’re here to talk about now — come on, let’s review some new snacks!
Disney World brunch is MORE than just your standard plate of bacon and eggs. So let’s start your day off on the right foot with some of the BEST Disney World brunch dining on property!

If you’re one of those Disney vacation folks who thinks breakfast is the most IMPORTANT meal of the day, then you’ve come to the right place. But even if you’re not big on the breakfast scene, stick around. Because we’re gonna be looking at not just some of our FAVORITE places to dine for the A.M. at Disney World, but also some of the most convenient AND most unique offerings (that may change the way you look at brunch foods entirely).
EVERYone loves Gideon’s cookies!
Gideon’s
The rich, famous, and influential – – from politicians and royalty to rock stars and Hollywood icons – – have been visiting Disney’s theme parks since Disneyland opened back in 1955. However, it’s admittedly not that often we see one of the most famous faces in the country chow down on one of the resort’s trademark desserts for all to see.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
