food IS a theme park
It’s almost Lunar New Year, which means it’s time for Disneyland Resort to get ready for their annual Lunar New Year Celebration! Disney loves to go all out every year with delicious eats, great merch, and some really cool parades and meet and greet opportunities.

Today, we’re taking a look behind-the-scenes at an AMAZING mural that just arrived in Disneyland Resort and the story behind it!
Disneyland has been KILLING it with the desserts lately!
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie Pie at Disneyland
From this amazing churro creation, a combination of two of our favorite treats, to these giant peanut butter cookies, they’ve been on a roll! We just tried another Disneyland dessert. It’s chilly, it’s covered in chocolate, and it’s customizable? We were definitely in for a treat.
Ah, the churro. The perfect combo of sweet, savory, and crispy! Over the years, Disney has tried many, many different churro flavors, some delicious, some not-so-delicious (we’re looking at you, Strawberry Matcha Churro). We’ve seen Disney make it festive, saucy, and even turn it into a hot dog!
Churros at Cozy Cone!
But have you ever had a churro that was…zingy? Well, we discovered one recently and it was DELICIOUS!
Disneyland is famous for many things.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
There’s the castle, the rides, the MOUSE, and of course, the food. And we take Disneyland food very seriously. Whether it’s the latest in Mickey beignets, Monte Cristos, or Boba Fett parfaits (?) we’re passionate about Disneyland snacks, and their newest churro is one for the record books.
A lot of people choose to visit Disney World over Disneyland Resort, and they’re missing out on so many delicious treats!
Disney California Adventure
Today we got to eat some AMAZING Mickey beignets in Disneyland, and now Disney California Adventure has a really unique sweet treat that you might need to try!
There are some flavor combinations that feel like a match made in heaven. Chocolate and peanut butter? Amazing. Peanut butter and jelly? A classic! Lemon and lime? So good! We could go on, but you get the point. When we find a Disney snack that combines two of our favorite things, like chocolate-covered bacon or a strawberry banana shake, our entire day is MADE!
We’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day!
Speaking of delicious flavor combos, who could forget about chocolate-covered bananas?! Luckily, a popular treat location in Disney California Adventure is preparing for a NEW dessert that you HAVE to see!
Happy New Year from Disneyland! We’re done enjoying the holidays at the resort (even if many of the decorations are still up) and are ready to embrace 2022!
Pacific Wharf Cafe
While we’re embracing the New Year, we’re trying out a few new foods, too, like a peanut buttery cookie pie, a tamale hot dog, and more! And today, we decided to eat something a little healthier — and believe it or not, we’re glad we did!
There’s something special about visiting the Disney parks at night. Maybe it’s the pretty lights, or maybe it’s the spectacular entertainment you can only see after the sun goes down. If you love Disney nightlife as much as we do, you may want to check out a Disneyland After Dark event! These after-hour events are similar to the ones in Disney World, providing guests with special themes, activities, entertainment, and lower attraction wait times!
Disneyland Park
Due to the pandemic, some people never got the chance to experience Disneyland After Dark! If you purchased tickets to a 2020 Disneyland After Dark event that was canceled, you might want to listen up.
This winter is shaping up to have several temporary ride closures at the Disneyland Resort. Already today we’ve shared the news that the Disneyland Monorail will close for at least a few weeks starting in late January, and The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure will close for a few days next week.
Pixar Pier
In addition to those two temporary closures, another ride at Disney California Adventure will be unavailable for nearly two weeks, starting in late January.
Every once in a while, the rides and attractions in the Disney parks may need to close temporarily in order to perform routine maintenance so they can continue to operate in tip-top shape for years to come! Sometimes the closures only last for a few days, but sometimes they can last for a few weeks or even a few months, as is the case right now with Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Luckily, Disney typically updates their site well enough in advance that guests can find out if a ride will be closed ahead of their upcoming vacation. And it looks like another ride will be closed temporarily at the Disneyland Resort next week.
