food IS a theme park
Everything OLD is NEW again at Disneyland right now!
New Disneyland Popcorn Boxes
While last week we saw Disneyland bring back it’s famous 1950’s style popcorn boxes, we just saw a few more relics return from the iconic park’s yesteryears!
Being at Disneyland today for Rise of the Resistance’s grand opening was some THIRSTY WORK!
Oga’s Cantina
Which is why we had to swing by our favorite Black Spire Outpost watering hole, Oga’s Cantina! Sure, we’d already sipped the new Toydaria Swirl from the Milk Stand as well at the newest “purple drank” to land at Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge — the Black Spire Hot Chocolate! But there’s always room for Oga’s! And it was there we made a BIG discovery!
We hope you’ve been having fun following along with us on our exploration of Disney California Adventure’s Lunar New Year event!
Red Dragon Spice Traders Booth
We wish you could be here with us, but hopefully, you’ll get the chance to visit this year’s multi-cultural festival celebrating 2020 — the “Year of the Mouse”! Out next stop is Red Dragon Spice Traders, where we’re expecting to find some HOT and tasty treats!
Call us BIG softies for nostalgia, but we ABSOLUTELY adore old Disney ephemera!
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
From vintage T-shirts, to pins and patches, our collections have grown rather large over the years! And NOW we have another ITEM we’ll be adding to our Disneyana displays!
It was BRIGHT SUNS for us this morning when we scored a boarding group for Disneyland’s Rise of the Resistance opening day today!
Rise of the Resistance
We were celebrating our mastery over Disneyland’s virtual queue system with a Toydaria Swirl at the Milk Stand until Boarding Group 18 (yeah, we PROS) was called to duty! But then, something TERRIBLE happened!
It’s “Bright Suns” indeed over on the west coast for the official opening of Rise of the Resistance in Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

While Disney World has been enjoying the attraction for a month, the patience of the Batuu travelers in Disneyland has paid off because now they have THREE new other-worldly treats exclusive to Anaheim! And, we’re giving you a first look and taste of the cheesiest chips in the galaxy!
Disneyland is rolling out the red carpet today for the official opening of Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and we’re so excited to be a partaking in the festivities!
Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
And we’re especially excited to try out the three new snacks (!!!) debuting at Batuu WEST COAST today — including the Toydaria Swirl!
We’re out here reporting LIVE at Disneyland this morning to see how the grand opening of Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge West is goin’ down!
Starbucks line…somewhere
How was traffic getting here, you ask? Not SO HOT! But we DID make it here just in time for the gates to open with the rest of these fine Rise of the Resistance rope-dropping champions! And even though we ALL got here SUPER EARLY — we knew we’d be in for a looong wait until the mad-dash to secure our boarding groups once the virtual queue finally opened at 8 AM!
The time has come! After the positively INSANE guest response to the opening of Rise of the Resistance in Walt Disney World just over a month ago, it’s FINALLY Disneyland’s turn to escape the First Order!

We’re right in the middle of it all in Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, so follow along with us as we experience this amazing ride for the first time…AGAIN!
Here at DFB, it’s ALWAYS The “Year Of The Mouse,” but over at Disney California Adventure, it’s the “Year of the Rat” for the 2020 Lunar New Year!
Happy Lunar New Year, y’all!
And, now that the festivities are underway, the multicultural celebration runs now through February 9th with eats, entertainment, and LOTS of merch.
