food IS a theme park
Guess what? We’re going to DISNEYLAND today to show YOU the best times to visit in 2025!!
Fall doesn’t truly arrive at Disney World until.. Well, Florida skips fall.
We’ve got all the secrets on crowds, events, the newest things coming to Disneyland, and more!
2024 is quickly coming to an end before our eyes.
Magic Kingdom
It might come as a shock, but we are already nearly halfway through December. In less than a month, we’ll be counting down to the new year and trying to remember to write 2025 instead of 2024 on anything we’re adding a date to. As we look toward 2025 and the new year of possibilities, it’s also fun to look behind us and reflect on all the good, exciting, and happy things that have passed in 2024. This was an eventful year in the world of Disney, and we want to celebrate some of the best things that happened. So come along with us as we remember all the great announcements, changes, endings, and beginnings for Disney and Disney fans in 2024!
Disneyland After Dark events are back for 2025!
Disneyland After Dark
These specially ticketed events get you access into the park after dark for extra-themed fun, lower wait times at rides, and exciting extras. In 2025, four After Dark events will be returning — Sweethearts’ Nite, 90s Nite, Star Wars Nite, and Pride Nite. These events take place on select nights throughout 2025, with the first being Sweethearts’ Nite and 90s Nite. Since we’re getting close to 2025, tickets go on sale SOON!
Both Halloween Time and the holiday season are a lot of fun in Disneyland.
Haunted Mansion Holiday
Not only do both seasons bring some awesome decor, merchandise, entertainment, and more to the parks, but they both bring one of the most fun ride overlays EVER to a classic Disney attraction. Yep, we’re talking about Haunted Mansion Holiday, which is both a Halloween and holiday ride (hey, we don’t make up the rules). However, all good things must come to an end, and now we know when Haunted Mansion Holiday will close in Disneyland, as well as when it will reopen as its original self.
Disney just dropped a ton of announcements about what’s happening in 2025 at Disneyland.
Pixar Fest Banners
We got dates for some fun After Hours events. We got more details about Disneyland’s huge 70th Anniversary Celebration. We learned when Halloween Time and the holiday season begins. We learned when the Red Car Trolley would close to make way for an Avengers Campus expansion. We also learned when we’d get to see the first EVER Walt Disney animatronic. SO much. BUT...there was something missing from those announcements: details about Pixar Fest!
Things are changing all the time in Disneyland and we do our best to keep up with them all!
Welcome to Bayou Country
Some BIG changes are coming soon, including new stores (some of which have already opened) and restaurants in Downtown Disney. A new Avatar-themed land is coming to Disney California Adventure, along with a new Coco ride. Most recently, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened in Disneyland — and we’ve got some MASSIVE news about that ride to share with you!
Welcome to the holidays in Disneyland!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
The parks are decorated, there’s snow on Sleeping Beauty Castle (and there has been since October!), the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays is underway, and we had a chance to check out the first Candlelight Processional of the year. Now, the Candlelight Processional is a little different in Disneyland than in Disney World in that the celebrity narrator isn’t announced ahead of time. So imagine our delight when we arrived at the Processional last night and had a MARVEL-ous surprise!
Happy holidays from the West Coast. Yep, we’re in Disneyland, and we’ve been enjoying EVERYTHING the holiday season has to offer.
Holiday decorations on “it’s a small world”
We’ve had our first ICONIC Candy Cane of the season. We’ve been enjoying the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays. We’ve even been able to see the Pixar Place Hotel decorated for the holidays for the very first time! We LOVE this time of year. We’re also making our way through the TONS of new snacks and drinks that have arrived in Disneyland (y’all — it is SO much FOOD) and we’ve got some more reviews of some of those new eats and drinks to share with you. So let’s get to nomming!
Disneyland Resort is celebrating its 70th anniversary next year! Yep, 70 years of the happiest place on Earth! Here’s to 70 MORE years and many, many more.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an anniversary without a celebration. And if anyone knows how to celebrate, it is Disney!
2025 is shaping up to be a BIG year for the Walt Disney Company.
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Resort
Multiple park expansions will be underway next year, along with new restaurants, shops, and a whole lot more. And, over at Disneyland, 2025 marks a whopping 70 (!!!) years since the park first opened which means there’s a ton to celebrate. Disney just dropped the dates for a ton of events happening next year, and we’ve rounded them all up for you!
