food IS a theme park
Many things have been changing in Disneyland over the past several months.
Matterhorn in Disneyland Park
New characters have show up in Avengers Campus, we’ve seen a bunch of new snacks, and fireworks and parades have returned. But, while many things are opening back up, some things are closing, including one classic ride that’s about to shut down!
Things are CHANGING at Disneyland in a big way.
Main Street Electrical Parade
We’ve seen the return of Fantasmic!, World of Color, the Main Street Electrical Parade, and more at the Happiest Place on Earth, but soon some of these offerings will NOT be available for fans to enjoy.
There is a LOT happening in the Disney parks this summer!
Disneyland
We’ve got the start of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival in Disney World, as well as the kick-off of the Halloween season early next month. Over in Disneyland Resort, special hotel perks are coming soon and we’ve seen some special character additions for recent films. But on top of that, there are some new eats that you’ll want to try out on the west coast!
Disney previously announced that Splash Mountain at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World would be rethemed to be a The Princess and the Frog-themed ride, and now we’ve got some BIG updates on this reimagined attraction.

We’ve already seen some concept art, and heard a bit about the characters coming to the rethemed ride, and we got a potential opening date from the voice behind Tiana. Disney also shared that more details about the retheme would be released during ESSENCE Fest, a special festival taking place in New Orleans. We were able to attend ESSENCE Fest and now we’ve got some huge news to share!
When it comes to your Disney vacation, time can make all the difference.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Less time waiting in line means more time to ride other attractions and experience new activities, and in most cases — the earlier you get to a park, the better! Soon, select Disneyland Resort guests will have just a little bit more time in the parks thanks to an all-new benefit coming soon!
Disneyland Resort reopened in April 2021 after closing in March 2020, but many rides and attractions are in a state of transformation right now.
Disneyland!
Mickey’s Toon Town has been closed for a big reimagining and Tarzan’s Treehouse is closed and getting re-themed, and one ride has remained closed even after Disneyland reopened. But that’s changing soon — and here’s what we know!
Even though we’re still several months away, Disney is already making big announcements about the holiday season!
The Holidays at Disneyland
We’ve got updates on the return of celebrations at Disney World, like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. But also, there are some exciting things coming to Disneyland Resort, and we just got details about some major entertainment options!
If you’ve been waiting for some big updates about The Princess and the Frog retheme coming to the Splash Mountain ride in the Disney parks, there’s an important set of dates you need to mark down.
Splash Mountain
Way back in 2020, Disney first announced that Splash Mountain would be transformed into a ride themed to The Princess and the Frog. Since that time, we’ve gotten a brief look at some concept art, some more details about the ride, information about new characters that will appear, and more. But now we’ve got an exciting update!
We LOVE celebrating the holidays in the Disney Parks!
Patriotic Pluto Photo Op on Independence Day
We already know about some festivities for Halloween, and we’re about to celebrate Halfway to the Holidays, too. But, while we are very excited about the holidays that come later this year, we can’t forget about one of the most essential summer holidays — 4th of July! Disney is celebrating (of course) and now, we have a FULL LOOK at ALL of the food coming to Disney World and Disneyland for the 4th of July!
We recently saw nighttime entertainment return to Disneyland Resort, and we could not be more excited!
The Main Street Electrical Parade is back!
More fireworks have retuned, World of Color is back, Fantasmic! has reopened, and Main Street Electrical Parade is running again. With some of these shows comes special things like dining packages, and we just checked out the Main Street Electrical Parade Dining Package to see if it’s worth it — so let’s break it down!
