food IS a theme park
How does one properly celebrate an EPIC anniversary for an EPIC Disney park? With an endless stream of special merch, of course!

In honor of Disneyland’s momentous 65th anniversary (!), we’ve been LOVING all the celebratory trinkets and toys, and now there are a couple shiny NEW additions to add to the collection! [Read more…]
We’ve got our Retro Disneyland Ears, Disneyland tumbler, and we’re ready to go to the happiest place on earth. There’s just one problem…it’s closed.
Retro Disneyland Ears
Disneyland closed about 6 months ago. Downtown Disney has reopened but Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park remain closed. While an initial reopening date for the parks was set, it was thereafter delayed, and a new reopening date has yet to be announced. But, Disney officials and others are working hard to push California’s governor to reopen the theme parks.
It may be hard to believe, but Disneyland has officially been closed for six months.
Disneyland Park
And while Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, has reopened and other Disney resorts around the world have reopened (or plan to reopen!), Disneyland still has no official reopening plan or date.
Disneyland remains closed, but that doesn’t mean we can’t head to Downtown Disney!
Downtown Disney District
We’re in Disneyland’s shopping and dining district to check out EVERYTHING new. So, without further ado, let’s dive into all the fresh news of construction and merchandise in Downtown Disney!
Although Disney executives have made the case for Disneyland Resort to reopen soon, and we’ve seen some signs showing that Disneyland is preparing to welcome guests, an official reopening date for the Disneyland Resort theme parks has not yet been set.
Disneyland Gate
Today, we’ve spotted an update that shows we may still have to wait a bit longer to visit the happiest place on earth.
It’s an Ear Party at Disneyland Resort!
Retro Disneyland Ears
We stopped into Downtown Disney to check out the retro-chic Disneyland Ears that just arrived. (And yes, they did live up to the hype!) While perusing the glorious wall of ears, a couple more cuties caught our eye!
We’ve had a pretty great time chasing down new pairs of Mickey and Minnie ears recently.
The Disneyland Hotel
We just keep spotting them in and out of the parks! From Halloween Ears like the Jack ‘O Lantern Mickey Ears to unique ears like the Norway Viking Ears, it’s hard to pick a favorite. But, we DO have a new contender from Disneyland. Seriously, these just might be the best ears we’ve seen on the west coast in a WHILE.
It’s been several months since we’ve been able to step beyond those gates and into Disneyland Park to enjoy the sights, sounds, and magic of the happiest place on earth. And, we’ll just say, we’re in serious need of some snacks from Bengal Barbecue!
Disneyland Gate
Although we’re still waiting for an announcement of a new reopening date for Disneyland Resort, we’ve got updates now about some of the changes we can expect to see in the Anaheim theme parks when guests can finally enjoy them again.
It’s been over six months since Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure closed due to the global health crisis.
Disneyland Gate
But fortunately, those who on the West Coast who need to get a lil’ Disney fix (uh, us!) can head to Downtown Disney, the resort’s shopping and dining district.
When will Disneyland reopen? It’s a BIG question we’ve yet to get the answer to.
Disneyland Main Entrance
Recently, we’ve seen some signs that could show Disneyland is getting prepared for its reopening, whenever that comes. But, what will Disneyland look like when it does reopen? How many guests can we expect to see walking through those gates? Some new data analysis is starting to give us a better idea.
