food IS a theme park
It is no secret that Disney is incredible at storytelling.

It looks like another exclusive, reservations-only shopping event will be making its way to Disneyland Resort SOON!
Retro Disneyland Ears
In the last few months, we’ve seen Disneyland pins, spooktacular items, and more made available through these events. And Disney has now announced that another shopping event is coming soon!
Many Disney fans are also animal lovers, and Disney totally understands this — so many of their movies feature cute animals!
Disney Animal Friends Loungefly Bag
That means we get a lot of great Disney merchandise featuring animals, too, including some devoted to Disney cats and Disney dogs. But, we were recently surprised when we spotted some animal friends that aren’t so common on merch at Disney World!
We’re not sure what the best part about the holidays is: the decorations or the snacks!
Peppermint Marshmallow Wand
But with us literally having the word “food” in our name, that’s what we’re all about!! So when we spotted a returning holiday snack at Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort, we went for it!
Although the Disneyland Resort Backlot Premiere Shop has opened and Buena Vista Street is set to reopen soon for shopping and dining, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park currently remain closed under California’s theme park reopening guidelines.
Red Car Trolley
Today, we received an update as to whether there has been any change in the tier status of Orange County, where Disneyland Resort is located, which would move the parks closer to an eventual reopening.
Halloween has come and gone, and it’s officially the holidays at the Disney Parks!
World of Disney at Downtown Disney
And although Disneyland Resort remains mostly closed, the holidays have still arrived at Downtown Disney, which reopened this summer. And we’ve started to spot seasonal snacks, like fall beignet sauces and pumpkin-spiced toffee. YUM!
We are getting ready to visit Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure Park as soon as it reopens this month for some shopping and dining!
Disney California Adventure
And, it looks like Disney is getting ready too. Today we spotted a very familiar vehicle in Disney California Adventure Park and we could not be more excited!
We’ve spotted quite a few of the same new Disney face masks at Disneyland Resort and in Disney World lately.
Up Mask
Recently the ones in Disney World were hit with a HUGE price increase. So, we thought that the masks in Disneyland would see a similar price jump, but that’s not at all what we found when we visited today.
A few weeks ago, the state of California released its theme park reopening guidelines, and according to people close to Disneyland, the guidelines will keep Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure “shuttered for the foreseeable future.”
Disneyland gates
EXCEPT…the parks aren’t going to stay totally, completely 100% closed. Not too long ago, Disney announced that Buena Vista Street inside Disney California Adventure will open up for dining and shopping. So, what does this actually mean for Disneyland??
Recently, California’s theme park reopening guidelines were released, but they only allow large theme parks, like Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park, to reopen if the county they are located in reaches the lowest of California’s tiers, Tier 4.
Disneyland Main Entrance
Several leaders have expressed their frustration over the current reopening guidelines, including Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu. And now, a number of California mayors have reached out to Governor Gavin Newsom to ask him to reconsider the criteria for theme park reopenings.
