food IS a theme park
Disneyland’s secret underground passageways, Marvel Universe Easter Eggs, and lots and lots and LOTS of…. cats??
Sleeping Beauty Castle
These are the AMAZING things you never knew were in Disneyland.
Dining in Disneyland can be overwhelming because you’ve got a TON of options. Whether you want something fast and easy at a quick service restaurant, a sit-down meal at a table service, or an upscale meal that you’ll never forget, there’s something in the resort for everyone.
Who’s ready to eat?
We recently stopped by Docking Bay 7 in Disneyland Resort to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to The Happiest Place on Earth? Find out here!
Okay, we’ve got something that’s going to make you Marvel fans LOSE YOUR MINDS.
Avengers Campus
Okay, so everyone knows about the awesomeness (that’s a direct quote from Star-Lord) that is Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure, right? Not to mention, you can literally meet almost ALL of your favorite superheroes in the land, as well as go on an adventure with Spider-Man. Well, recently, one real-life Marvel Cinematic Universe star just visited Avengers Campus…and y’all, he was BRUTAL (in the most epic way possible).
Being a D23 member comes with so many special perks and exclusive opportunities! If you’ve ever wanted to join a Disney fan club, let this be your sign to do it. Two words: WORTH. IT. Want a perfect example of why it pays to be a D23 member? Get ready.
D23
Disney announced that D23 members are invited to a special taping of The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration, held at the Disneyland Resort! If you’re unfamiliar with this annual event, let’s just say it’s a star-studded spectacular with a LOT of holiday cheer.
There are a lot of moving parts at Disneyland that you need to be aware of before your next trip.
Sleeping Beauty Castle!
You’ve packed your bags, hopped on a flight, made your way into your hotel room, triple-checked that your park tickets are ready to go, and then walked down Main Street, U.S.A., only to find out that your favorite ride is closed for refurbishment. This experience is a real stinker and one we hope we can help you avoid. While we can’t stop things at Disneyland from closing down, we can give you advanced notice so that you’re totally prepared long before you even start packing.
If you’re a Disneyland fan, you’re probably wanting to get your hands on a Magic Key, which is Disneyland’s version of an Annual Pass.
Exclusive Magic Key Lounge
However, getting a Magic Key is easier said than done because sales of Magic Keys are limited, and for now, sales have been on hold for a little while. However, Magic Key sales do open again from time to time, and if you want to nab one, make sure November 4th is marked on your calendar because Magic Key sales will resume then.
Disneyland really said the weather outside is frightful, and it’s time to let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Sleeping Beauty Castle!
Christmas at Disneyland is still a month away, but Disney is already prepping for all the festivities ahead. How can we tell? Well, it looks like it’s started snowing in the park already — let us show you!
It’s been over 4 decades since Walt Disney World introduced Annual Passes, and yet a major perk of the program is STILL missing from the resort.
Annual Passholder
Walt Disney World first introduced the Annual Pass — then known by the full “Annual Passport” name — ticket options back in September of 1982. These passes — part of the company’s overall transition from general admission tickets and ticket books to “all-in” tickets, which covered park entry and ride access — initially offered a year of entry to the Magic Kingdom and the then-brand-new EPCOT Center for $100 for adults, $93 for juniors (yes, there was a “pre-teen” category for tickets back then), and $80 for children (3-11). Suffice to say, over the years, prices have gone up, but so have the number of perks available to APs. However, one popular benefit available at the Disneyland Resort has yet to make it over to the East Coast in the 30+ years I’ve been visiting “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”
The prices at Disney Parks just keep going up, up, up, but we have incredible news that for this fun event, the prices are going down. Yes, we’re just as surprised as you are.
Fireworks view in Disneyland
Not only are the prices going down, but this experience is a perfect way to upgrade your vacation and have an exclusive viewing of the castle fireworks. What’s not to love?
Disney World isn’t the only U.S. resort getting a ton of updates: Disneyland is getting ready to make way for some huge expansions, too.

We’ve already seen Downtown Disney get some new restaurants…with more on the way. A new Coco ride will be coming soon to Disney California Adventure. A brand-new Avatar land is also on the way, as well as a MASSIVE Avengers Campus expansion with two new rides. Disneyland is also planning a new parking and transportation hub, and a new permit shows that work for that hub might be starting soon.
