food IS a theme park
When you travel to Disneyland, do you fly? If so, you may realize you have several choices when it comes to airports.

The obvious option is the Los Angeles International Airport, mostly because it has a lot of flights with many airlines throughout the day. However, two other airports are actually closer, including Long Beach Airport in Long Beach and John Wayne Airport in Anaheim. Well, one of those airports, John Wayne Airport, was just named the BEST.

From perks to prices, there are lots of things to consider when determining the value of your vacation, and we know that a trip to Disney is certainly not cheap! With budgeting as such an important factor for many people planning their dream vacation, we’re constantly on the lookout for important pricing updates that could impact future travels. That’s why we’ve got our eye on the discussion of an entertainment tax that could impact Disneyland Resort if implemented.
We’re just recovering from Destination D23, which was recently held at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Disney World. These events are the biggest Disney fan events of the year, and we always get a lot of announcements about Disney movies, parks, and more.

At Destination D23, Disney announced that the next big fan event, D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Experience, would be held August 14th-16th in Anaheim, CA. However, there’s going to be one BIG change at next year’s event: vendors and collectors will not be offered spaces at the event.
I know, I know. We’re right in the middle of this year’s D23, so why are we already thinking about next year?
Destination D23 2025
This massive expo is the Ultimate Disney Fan Experience, where Disney announces tons of details about movies, the parks, cruises, and every element of the Walt Disney Company. They also announced the new dates for next year, so if you’re feeling a little FOMO, you can start planning now.
It’s the 70th Anniversary of Disneyland Park, and Disney is celebrating BIG!
Disneyland 70th anniversary
There are new snacks, special merchandise, unique character costumes, exclusive entertainment options, and more! If you’re heading to the parks in the coming months, you’ll be able to enjoy quite a bit of celebration. But now, it seems like Disney’s trying to rein in some local guests as well!
Living right next to Disney World sounds like the ultimate Disney Adult dream. But one major factor is dashing that dream for many.
Magic Kingdom
Orlando is often called the Theme Park Capital of the World, and for good reason. Home to Universal Orlando, Disney World, SeaWorld, and several other major theme park resorts, you’d be hard-pressed to find a city that draws in theme park tourism quite like Orlando. As such, it makes sense that a lot of people would LOVE to move to this Central Florida area and have daily access to their favorite theme parks. Unfortunately, a new report suggests moving here is not as easy as it sounds.
ATTENTION D23 Gold Members, you’ll want to see this.
Disneyland
Since launching back in 2009, D23 — the official Disney fan club — has offered discounts to members on everything from merchandise to special events to exclusive access to the Disney archives to entry to locations like the Walt Disney Family Museum. Now, a new offer from the club is making it easier to visit the “Happiest Place on Earth.”
Disneyland Resort has a lot of exciting updates coming over the next few years!
California Adventure
Back in August, Disney announced that Disney California Adventure will be getting a new Avatar expansion as well as a new expansion to Avengers Campus. DisneylandForward was also approved earlier this year, providing more opportunities for experiences, attractions, and more at the resort. It’s certainly an exciting time in history for Walt’s original theme park. And now, Disney has officially submitted the early plans required to begin the prep work for the Avengers Campus expansion!
Getting to the Disneyland Resort just got a lot easier!

You will now be able to add service from Anaheim Regional Transportation directly to your vacation package making your commute to the parks that much easier!
One of Disney’s biggest events of the year is coming up, and we can’t wait!
The Walt Disney Company headquarters in California
D23 is Disney’s Official Fan Club, and bi-annually they a fan convention in Anaheim, California. This event consists of 3 days of numerous panels about Disney news, movies, TV shows, and everything in between. It’s a great way to learn about all the new things coming down the pipeline for the Walt Disney Company, and the next event is coming up on August 9th-11th. While we can’t wait for all the latest news to come out, we have noticed that Disney has done some suspicious things, and we can’t help but wonder what that’ll mean for the event this year.
