food IS a theme park
After being closed for OVER a year, Disney’s California theme parks are FINALLY going to be reopening very soon!
Welcome to the Grand Californian!
And soon one of the Disneyland Resort hotels — Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa — will be reopening to guests as well!
We officially have a Disneyland reopening date!

After a year of being closed, we finally have a date that Disneyland theme parks are expected to reopen. Now, we’re working on fleshing out the details of what that reopening might look like and what YOU need to be able to get into the Disneyland parks.
Disneyland Resort has been closed since mid-March 2020 in response to the global health crisis.

While the Disney World parks reopened back in July, Disneyland postponed its previously announced reopening due to guidance and mandates from government and health officials. Downtown Disney has since reopened, as well as Buena Vista Street. And recently Disneyland introduced its “A Touch of Disney” event, which is coming to Disney California Adventure soon. Earlier, we shared that Disney was aiming to reopen Disneyland in late April. But, now Disney has officially announced when its California theme parks will reopen!
California theme parks are preparing to reopen after the state government modified their guidance. Now, large theme parks like Disneyland can reopen as early as April 1st with limited capacity once their county enters the Red tier. Orange County, where Disneyland is located, officially entered the Red tier this past weekend.

While Disneyland aims for a late April reopening, it may come with a shocking twist: silence!
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!

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.
The Disneyland theme parks have been closed for over a year now.

For much of this time, Cast Members who were not affected by lay-offs have remained furloughed. Now, a new round of Cast Members are being recalled — and they’ll be back at work soon. What does this recall date mean?
A Touch of Disney at Disney California Adventure officially kicks off this week!

After a bumpy start of trying to purchase tickets, we couldn’t be more excited to head to the event on March 18th! The event will feature several food booths, characters, and more, plus guests will get to visit more of Disney California Adventure than just Buena Vista Street.
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!
We have another delicious Disney copycat recipe to share!
Big Thunder Ranch BBQ Entrance
We love recreating our favorite Disneyland Resort bites in our own kitchen, but this recipe is, even more, special because a visit to Big Thunder Ranch BBQ is no longer an option! This beloved family-style BBQ joint closed to make room for Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, but don’t worry! If you find yourself craving these long-lost ribs, Disney just released a recipe for the long-lost Big Thunder Ribs. These ribs are sweet and tangy bites of porky goodness. Let’s get started!
