food IS a theme park
Disneyland celebrated Mickey’s 92nd birthday in a special way!
Buena Vista Street
Yesterday, Disney announced that TWO Disneyland statues have been refurbished and are looking better than ever — and now we’ve seen one of them in person!
After more than eight months, we’re once again strolling down Buena Vista Street as part of the latest expansion to Downtown Disney! While Disney California Adventure technically remains closed at this time, the shopping and dining district at Disneyland Resort now includes several shops and restaurants from inside the park boundaries!
Award Wieners
One of the biggest surprises ahead of the reopening was that Award Wieners, which typically serves their own assortment of hot dogs and our beloved Filmstrip Fries, would be serving the menu from Corn Dog Castle, which remains closed at this time.
We’re stepping foot in a Disneyland theme park for the first time since MARCH today. Wowza.
Buena Vista Street Decorations
If you want to follow along with our Buena Vista Street adventures, you check in as we report LIVE! In the meantime though, we’ve got an update on Mobile Order in Buena Vista Street!
Aside from shopping at the Disneyland Backlot Premiere Shop, we haven’t stepped foot INSIDE a Disneyland Resort theme park since March!
Disney California Adventure Park
But that is all about to change TODAY! It may not be the same as running through the park and riding Radiator Springs Racers or the Incredicoaster, but today we’re going to have the chance to walk down Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure for some shopping and dining and we could practically cry of excitement (tears may or may not have already been shed). Come along with us and take a virtual trip to the reopening of Buena Vista Street!
It may only be November but we’re saying FULL STEAM AHEAD TO CHRISTMAS!
Christmas Decorations
We’ve been having an awesome time spotting the holiday decorations in Disney World and we even spotted some decor up in Disney California Adventure. Now, Disneyland’s Downtown Disney has jumped headfirst into the Christmas cheer!
Earlier today, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Amaro, made a presentation at the IAAPA Expo about progress on many of Disney’s ongoing projects.

He shared updates on projects like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Space 220 Restaurant, and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser in Walt Disney World. He also discussed several projects ongoing at Disneyland Paris. And we also got the chance to see several photos from inside Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, which are both still currently closed.
The holidays have arrived at the Disneyland Resort! Well, at least to the areas that guests currently have access to. While the theme parks remain closed, Downtown Disney is available for shopping and outdoor dining, and this Thursday, Buena Vista Street will also reopen!
Christmas has arrived at Downtown Disney!
Let’s take a look at some of the seasonal dining and shopping guests can take part in!
Ever wanted to have superpowers? We certainly have!

That’s why we’re pretty pumped for the opening of Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Paris. The land was supposed to open in DCA with the WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure attraction in July but was delayed. Now, we have a peek at the RIDE VEHICLES for the new web-based attraction!
When Buena Vista Street reopens next Thursday, November 19th, it’ll be the first time Disneylanders step food inside the parks in some capacity in over eight months! With the exception of the Stage 17 Backlot Premiere Shop, the parks have been totally off-limits as California is keeping its larger theme parks closed for the time being.

Besides the fact that we’ll be able to take in the sights and sounds of Buena Vista Street next week, there are some incredible returning FOOD items that are a HUGE deal to us!
We’ve been keeping an eye on all the news related to Disneyland Resort.

Although Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure Park will be reopening soon, it appears the theme parks themselves are not expected to fully reopen for quite some time.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
