food IS a theme park
Disneyland is changing its Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land this month by turning back the clock and introducing characters from the original trilogy, notably Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo.

The Star Wars social media accounts have been slowly releasing their never-before-seen Disneyland looks, and when we reposted them, not all fans were satisfied with their new looks.
Disneyland has seen a lot of closures lately. There are three current closures at Disneyland right now – Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, and the Disneyland Monorail – and the Silly Symphony Swings are set to close on April 27th.

But now, we have some good news: two closed Disneyland attractions are reopening this month!
Some HUGE changes are coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, and it’s going to change your entire experience in that part of the park.
Millennium Falcon
The timeline for Batuu is shifting to include ALL timelines in the Star Wars universe, including the timeline in the original trilogy of movies. That means you’ll soon be able to see characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Darth Vader in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Princess Leia will also be coming to the land, too, and now we have a first look at her!
Have you heard? Someone is coming to Disneyland to reclaim the Millennium Falcon, and it looks like he’s already searching for it!
Galaxy’s Edge
Earlier this year, Disney announced that a MASSIVE change was coming to Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge on April 29th. That change is that the characters and stories from the original Star Wars trilogy would officially be featured at the park. Well, Disney just shared a very first look at Han Solo and Chewbacca — want to see?
Even the Happiest Place on Earth has rules you have to follow!
Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure
No running in the parks, no selfie sticks, no illicit substances, and more. These rules are designed to keep everyone safe throughout the parks and to make sure everyone has a good time, too, of course! On a recent visit to the parks, we spotted some new (or newly enforced) rules at Disneyland Resort that you need to know about.
Celebrities may be big names, but they love enjoying that Disney magic just as much as anyone else. We’ve often seen celebrities taking trips to Disneyland and Disney World just to enjoy a little vacation from time to time.

Recently, one of our favorite celebrities not only visited the Disneyland Resort, but he also partnered up with Disney to share his favorite three snacks. We know you’re curious as to who it was and what he said, so let’s take a look!
At heart, we are collectors. We love trying to get every mystery pin in a box or a new popcorn bucket as soon as it drops. Disney just released new popcorn buckets, sippers, and more for one of the best days of the year: Star Wars Day on May 4th.

Just wait till you see these new Star Wars collectibles! You’re going to be booking a trip to Disneyland immediately.
We’ve seen some new things happening for Disney recently abroad. The new Disney Adventure World in Paris, the new Disney Adventure cruise ship in Singapore. But do not let that fool you into thinking Disney is ready to take a little lie-down and a nap. The company is still pushing a roughly $60 billion investment plan across parks and cruise capacity over about 10 years, which is why the project list still looks like it drank three cold brews and stole a construction crane.
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
The next big checkpoint is D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, happening August 14 through 16, 2026, in Anaheim. Disney has already scheduled its Disney Experiences Showcase for August 15, which is basically a neon sign flashing “park people, get in here.” And because Josh D’Amaro officially became Disney’s CEO on March 18, 2026, there’s even more reason to think this summer’s presentation could bring fresh timelines, new concept art, and maybe the first wave of projects that feel a little more like his personal stamp on the future of the company.
Disneyland After Dark events are a great way to spend some time in the parks and see them in a way you can’t during the day. Each event has a specific theme, and each theme brings with it special entertainment, activities, characters, and food.

If you have a trip to Disneyland Resort planned for April, you’re going to have to prepare for the park to look a little different.
