food IS a theme park
UPDATE! The Disney Wine and Dine 10K is now sold out. Other races remain available.
runDisney is one of the many ways you can celebrate your love for Disney! With events ranging from Half-Marathons to Kids’ Runs, there’s a way for everyone to run (or walk) around the parks!

After quite a few virtual runs, runDisney is back and we’ve got some great news for you!
Halloween time is just around the corner in Disneyland, and that means all sorts of treats, merchandise, and entertainment is coming along with it! But, we have to be honest — we’re the MOST excited for the return of the Oogie Boogie Bash this year!
Oogie Boogie
The event will stretch over the course of five hours in Disney California Adventure (2 more hours than Disney World’s Halloween event), as guests go trick-or-treating and visit the Frightfully Fun Parade. But, now we’ve got a sneak peek at the wicked areas that will be arriving at the Oogie Boogie Bash!
Headed to Disneyland soon?
Ah, What a Beautiful View
If you are, you’re probably going to want to be in the loop on all the latest changes and happenings! Well, we’ve made some visits to Disneyland over the past week and we’re bringing you an update on everything new in food, construction, and merchandise around the resort!
Okay, Loungefly fans — we’ve got a special mini backpack for those of you who love Cars!
Cars Land
We’ve been seeing a lot of new Cars merchandise at the parks and online in honor of the film’s 15th anniversary. We’ve seen Disney release a Cars collectible key, Cars Wishables, Cars 15th anniversary pins, and more! But the latest Cars must-have is all about Cars Land at Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort!
Disney pretzels are classic snacks! When you think of Disney park snacks, a Mickey pretzel will probably come to mind along with popcorn, Mickey ice cream bars, and Dole Whip!
The Mickey Pretzel!
Recently, a returning pretzel popped up at Disneyland, and it’s got a spicy twist (pun intended)!
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream at Disney California Adventure serves up sweet treats that are perfect for beating the heat! Located on the Buena Vista Street section of Disney California Adventure, it’s a great spot to cool down and enjoy an ice cream sundae!
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream
Clarabelle’s officially reopened on July 8th and we stopped by to get the scoop (pun intended)! In the past, we’ve loved dishes like the Oswald Sundae and the “Whole Herd” Ice Cream Bar, so we’re excited to be back!
Did you even go to a Disney theme park if you didn’t take any pictures?
WandaVision Photo Op
There are plenty of iconic choices when it comes to taking pictures in the parks, including the castle and park icons, but Disney has been offering some pretty fun photo-ops lately! Specifically in Disneyland Resort, we’ve seen a Roz photo-op (which we could not stop laughing about), a WandaVision set, and SO many more. But now, we found one of the best photo-ops we’ve EVER seen, and it’s based on Disney and Pixar’s newest movie!
For years, Disney’s holiday events have been great ways to celebrate Halloween, Christmas, and more! Ticketed events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas have been hot events in past years!

With the current state of the world, many of these events have been cancelled or replaced with events like the upcoming Boo Bash at Disney World. Although it might not be the same as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween, it’s still nice to have a way to be festive at the parks! Now, Disneyland has announced a Halloween event for this year!
Last year, a number of Halloween events at the Disney parks were canceled, including Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World and Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland.
Oogie Boogie Stirring Up Some Trouble!
This year, a NEW Halloween offering (Disney After Hours Boo Bash) will bring Halloween fun to Disney World, but we’ve been waiting to hear news about whether Oogie Boogie Bash would be returning to Disneyland Resort. And now we’ve FINALLY got an update!
Lamplight Lounge is a laid-back, Pixar-themed spot with a great view of Disney’s California Adventure Park and great eats! We absolutely love the lobster nachos, great drinks, and the amazing atmosphere of this waterfront spot!
The entrance for Lamplight Lounge’s new Boardwalk Dining Experience
Formerly known as Ariel’s Grotto, the Lamplight Lounge has gotten some major upgrades in the past few years! With all sorts of details and a fun secret menu, this has become one of our favorite spots to dine in California Adventure! Recently, we stopped by Lamplight Lounge to try out their new walk-up Boardwalk Dining Experience! Spoiler alert: it’s amazing! So, without further ado, let’s check it out!
