The Lululemon store is open!
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the opening of Lululemon in Downtown Disney, especially because there wasn’t an exact opening date or timeline other than “2026” that had been released. However, that’s all changed now, because the store has officially soft-opened!
Just like us, celebrities love a good day at Disneyland!
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
It’s always a fun treat when a celebrity takes to social media to show off their Disney vacation. Especially when they’re so excited to share! We’ve seen a lot of celebrities come to the park this year, and recently, an iconic celebrity couple visited the “Happiest Place on Earth”.
Disneyland’s Magic Key calendar reveals MAJOR summer blockout changes!

Disneyland has been busy lately, rolling out ticket deals, offering new ways to save through major retailers, and quietly laying the groundwork for some bigger changes coming to the parks in 2026. With all that movement, it’s no surprise that Magic Key Annual Passholders are paying close attention to what’s changing behind the scenes. And since Disney’s released the calendar view of their upcoming 2026 availability for Magic Key Annual Passholders, we’re getting a clearer picture of how summer access is shifting — and it’s a change that could seriously impact planning your next visit during some of the busiest times of year.
It’s no secret that we love Disney food, but we especially love DISNEYLAND food. The churros, the churro toffee, the churros (oh, wait, we said that), the cheesy garlic pretzel bread…Disneyland has some of our favorite snacks on Earth.
Secret menu alert!
So when we learn about a new snack, especially one on a secret menu, we have to investigate, right? Well, we found such a snack at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, along with a new holiday drink. Yep, we tried both! And now we’re going to tell you what we thought.
It’s the holidays in Disneyland, and we’ve been enjoying everything the holiday season brings to the parks. We’ve also enjoyed seeing the parks all decorated for the holiday season, the snow on Sleeping Beauty Castle, and eating our way through the Festival of Holidays.
Write a letter to Santa Car
But there’s one holiday activity you might not know about in Disney California Adventure that we wanted to make you aware of. Did you know you can send a letter to Santa in Cars Land? Well, you can!
It’s not always fun to get to Disneyland only to discover your favorite ride is closed for refurbishment. However, the good news is that we usually have a little advance notice when that happens. It isn’t often enough of a notice to reschedule our trips, but at least it prepares us for the disappointment, right?
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland
The early months of the year are usually PRIME time for ride refurbishments in Disneyland. So if you’re visiting then, you’ll want to be aware of which rides are closed. If you’re planning on visiting the park during that time, particularly Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll want to know about this ride closure: Rise of the Resistance will be closed as of January 20th.
Did you know that not all Pirates of the Caribbean attractions in Disney Parks are made the same? It’s true — they’re all different!
Pirates of the Caribbean
We’ve ridden the versions in Disney World and Disneyland more times than we can count, but that meant we were totally invested in how different the Disneyland Paris version of the ride would be when we recently got to visit the park. What you may not realize is how different this version of the attraction really is! While you can watch a ride through online to see the changes, it’s super cool to be ON the ride and realizing “wait, a minute, this doesn’t normally look like that in Disney World/Disneyland!”
Churros. Mickey ears. Pin trading. There are so many parts that go into a Disneyland day that every day of your vacation might feel like a HUGE milestone. Personally, my favorite part of any Disneyland day has to be the rides. I’m ready to climb into Pirates of the Caribbean and prepare for that ride photo.
Disney California Adventure
If you’re heading to Disneyland in January, you might have your list of attractions you need to ride. Well, you might want to reevaluate that list. Some rides are going down for refurbishments, but don’t worry, we have all the details here!
