food IS a theme park
Toy Story 5 has hit theaters, and we’re celebrating the best way we know how: Disney snacks!
SO CUTE!
In both Disneyland and Disney World, Toy Story-themed snacks have been released, and we’re having an incredible time trying them all. Disneyland dropped some special cake pops at Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff in Disney California Adventure, and they might be the cutest we’ve seen.
Disneyland has a brand-new version of Soarin‘ – and we just got to ride it early!
Soarin’ Across America
Soarin’ Across America celebrates the 250th birthday of the U.S. by soaring riders across both coasts of the U.S., highlighting some of the country’s iconic landscapes and cityscapes. Think sweeping natural beauty, recognizable skylines, and a heavy dose of Americana!
Over at Disneyland Resort, one of our favorite lands is none other than Cars Land, also known as Radiator Springs in Disney California Adventure.
Cozy Cone Motel
It’s immersive, it’s fun, it has (arguably) one of the best rides in the entire resort, and it’s got some pretty great eats over at the Cozy Cone Motel! Instead of cars sleeping inside each one, they’re fun small snack stands, and we find they’re often really underrated. However, we just got word that some of these spots may be closed at various times throughout the month of July — here’s what you need to know.
When it comes to park hopping, Disneyland blows Disney World out of the water, despite an annoying complication. Well, after years of said annoying complication, it’s about to get even easier to bounce between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure!
DCA Entrance
When the Disneyland theme parks reopened after the 2020 pandemic closures, a morning restriction was placed on park hopping between the two parks, which created some annoying limitations. While the change was billed as temporary, it’s stuck around all the way into 2026. However, that restriction is FINALLY about to lift — and most folks are excited about the change!
We’ve got MASSIVE news out of Disneyland Resort. It’s news we’ve been waiting on for literally YEARS, and now it’s finally time.
Disneyland
Ever since the parks reopened after the 2020 closures, there have been restrictions on when guests have been allowed to park hop between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Finally, after 5+ years, those restrictions are FINALLY going away!
New merch alert! Disney California Adventure’s Food & Wine Festival has officially started and runs till April 27th, and along with tons of snacks, new souvenirs are also here.
DCA Food and Wine Festival
We’re pretty obsessed with this Food & Wine Festival, so make no mistake that we will be coming home with tons of pieces. What would you come home with?
Big news for fans of Disney California Adventure’s Food and Wine Festival!
DCA Food and Wine Festival!
The festival this year will take place from March 6th to April 27th, 2026, and we know a lot of guests, ourselves included, are really looking forward to trying what will be available this year. It turns out Disney has decided to give us a treat, because we just got a sneak peek at the foodie guide that will be coming soon!
Disneyland Resort, just like Disney World, is full of construction right now, and practically every time we step into the park, we notice something new that’s happening or an update on a project underway.
Disney California Adventure
If you’ve stepped into Disney California Adventure for the past few years, you may have noticed that the old Tower of Terror FastPass kiosk still exists, though it is not used for much. The FastPass theming was done away with many years ago, and Tower of Terror was changed to Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! in 2017. The stand has remained unused for years. However, that’s all changing now!
Disney popcorn buckets have officially gone off the rails again…and this one is iconic!
It’s HERE!
A brand-new Pixar Pal-A-Round popcorn bucket has just debuted at Disney, and it might be one of the most perfect popcorn bucket souvenirs we’ve seen yet! If you love collectible park merch, this is one you’re going to want to see.
We’re suckers for hidden details anywhere, but ESPECIALLY inside the Disney parks. Especially since we get to be in the Disney Parks nearly every day, we’re always looking for details we haven’t spotted, new experiences for you to check out, and everything in between.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We love Disneyland Resort for so many reasons, but the official Disneyland Magic Key Instagram account (@disneylandmagickey) just posted a TON of hidden Easter eggs across Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. We’re betting a lot of you haven’t noticed (because some of them we haven’t spotted before)!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
