food IS a theme park
We’ve been falling in love with Disney California Adventure all over again now that “A Touch of Disney” has kicked off!
Pixar Pier
We’ve already given you a look at the crowds at the sold out event, as well as all the entertainment and food you can enjoy during your visit. But, you don’t have to have tickets to Disneyland’s event to enjoy some of the best food on Disneyland property!
It was a BIG week in Disneyland this week! In fact, this might have been the biggest week since the parks closed a year ago! That’s because for the first time, guests were allowed into a FULL Disney California Adventure!
Welcome (back!) to Pixar Pier!
While no rides are available, guests who purchased tickets to A Touch of Disney are able to say “hello” to some of their favorite characters, eat some yummy treats, and stroll around the vast majority of California Adventure. With that and much, much more, let’s take a look at what’s new around Downtown Disney.
We’ve seen ALL kinds of Mickey and Minnie ears — Stitch ears, bride ears, light-up balloon ears, and MANY more.
This gate will soon be open again!
But today, when we were at Disneyland we spotted a NEW pair of ears that looked oddly familiar…
It’s just a matter of days before we’ll be able to return to Disney California Adventure for the “A Touch of Disney” even taking place!
Disneyland Gate
While we’re already looking forward to all the food booths, there’s an extra bit of entertainment you can enjoy ahead of “A Touch of Disney” AND Disneyland’s grand reopening soon, which we should hear more about soon.
2020 was QUITE the year.
Disney World
You may remember the day that you heard Disney World or Disneyland would be closing temporarily due to the pandemic — I know I do. And you might remember watching Shanghai Disneyland reopen, that park being the first Disney park around the world to reopen after the closures. But, did you remember that Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway opened in Disney World literally DAYS before the parks closed? Or that several new movies in EPCOT debuted in early 2020? SO much happened in just one year. And today we’re breaking it all down for you.
The Downtown Disney Starbucks West is officially open!
Downtown Disney Starbucks West
We welcomed back the Starbucks next to World of Disney last month, and now, the second location is back up and running, too! It reopened TODAY, and you know we were in there checkin’ out what’s new. And sure enough, we spotted a special new WandaVision-themed drink!
Today we took a visit to Downtown Disney, and we were greeted with a lovely surprise!
Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure
Usually, our visits here are pretty eventful. We check out the new food, we scope out the merchandise, and we look to see if anything has changed. Today, we actually got the chance to see someONE special — a Disneyland Resort celebrity!
Earlier this year, Disneyland announced that it would be discontinuing its Annual Passholder program.

We’ve gotten a few indications about what Disneyland’s new passholder program could look like, although no new membership has been announced yet. But, fans with active Disneyland Annual Passholder memberships as of March 14th, 2020, who are now known as Disneyland Legacy Passholders, have still been able to get some discounts on food and merchandise all around Disneyland. And now some Disneyland Legacy Passholder discounts are being extended!
Disneyland is set to host a ticketed event inside of one of its theme parks, the theme parks themselves are aiming to reopen in late April, and NOW more change may be on the way.
Carthay Circle
Currently, Orange County is in the purple or most restrictive reopening tier in California, where things like indoor dining are prohibited. But, that’s all about to change!!
When it comes to celebrating all things spring and Easter, Disneyland Resort has a few ways to celebrate!
White Rabbit Easter Egg
Not only does Disney release those AMAZING chocolate Easter eggs (NOM!), but Disneyland also hosts an Eggstravaganza. This is a scavenger hunt that invites guests to find character-themed Easter Eggs in the theme parks and Downtown Disney. And it’s SO much fun!
