food IS a theme park
Thunderbolts* hit theaters May 2nd, and less than two weeks later, one member of the group is walking around Disneyland!
Avengers Campus
New characters have been known to pop onto the campus from time to time when new movies and TV shows are released, and we’re excited to welcome another hero to the group.
Just days after it was confirmed that the Disney Junior Dance Party at California Adventure was ending, ANOTHER Disneyland Resort live entertainment offering is set to close permanently.
Avengers Campus
The Avengers Assemble stunt show at California Adventure’s Avengers campus is set to have its final performance on April 5th, signaling the end of one of the land’s opening day attractions just as Disney begins work on a massive expansion.
Over the past year, Disney has been dropping big announcements left and right, especially when it comes to Disney World and Disneyland.

We learned that a Cars expansion with two new rides is coming to Magic Kingdom, along with a new Villains land. We learned more about Pueblo Esperanza, the land that will be taking over DinoLand, U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We also learned that the Muppets are moving over to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster to make way for a Monsters, Inc. land, which will be taking over Muppets Coutryard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In Disneyland, Avengers Campus is getting two new rides. Well, this weekend, Disney just dropped more announcements about these expansions — AND MORE.
Get ready to turn into your own Marvel superhero!

Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus has given parkgoers the opportunity to meet their favorite Marvel superheroes and enter the world of Marvel through a couple of attractions since it opened in 2021. However, one major criticism since opening is that it might not be enough. The scope of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is massive — it is the highest-grossing box office franchise of all time — so it’s unsurprising that guests often feel the Avengers-inspired land could do more. Well, Disney’s heard the fans and plans to DOUBLE the attractions within the land, including a brand-new Iron Man-themed thrill attraction!
You probably could have never guessed it based on the name of our blog, but we LOVE Disney food here at DFB. While we have our favorite snacks, treats, and meals in all the Disney parks, we always get excited when Disney introduces new food items.
Baked Cheesy Biscuits
Disneyland has been on a roll with introducing new food items recently, and we have been thrilled to dig into lots of new treats. We are once again back with some more NEW snacks at Disneyland Resort, and we can’t wait to share them with you!
We’ll admit we’re a little jealous of Disneyland because of Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure, especially now that the land is about to get even bigger with an expansion that will include two new rides.
Avengers Campus
You can even meet all your favorite Marvel characters there, too, which is not something you can do in Disney World (and we’ve gone over why that is a few times). Well, a new Marvel movie, Captain America: Brave New World, is about to drop and now Disneyland is getting some AMAZING Marvel food (and yep, we’re still jealous). But one of these new snacks has us wondering if Disney didn’t just embrace the pizza pocket in honor of the new movie.
Mark your calendars — an ICONIC Disney California Adventure is discontinuing service PERMANENTLY this weekend.
Disney California Adventure
After nearly 13 years of service up and down parts of Disney California Adventure, Red Car Trolley is closing for good this Sunday, February 9th, 2025. The last day to get a ride in is February 8th before the attraction gives way for some BRAND-NEW rides.
Okay, so the beginning of the year is when Disney does a LOT of scheduled maintenance on things, including pools, hotels, and rides.
Avengers Campus
So it’s no surprise when so many things close this time of year for that scheduled maintenance. However, over in Disneyland, There’s already so much construction going on, what with a new Coco ride and Avatar-themed land coming. Well, in addition to that, a super popular ride, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout in Disney California Adventure is closing on March 1st for refurbishment.
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!
The heroes are rising.

While much of the attention coming out of the D23 Ultimate Fan Event focused on the announcement of the new lands coming to Disney World, including the Magic Kingdom’s long-anticipated Villain’s Land, there was another much more heroic expansion confirmed at the event that we’re equally as excited for!
