food IS a theme park
Are you someone who loves Disney? Do you watch all of the movies? Do you go to the theme parks every chance you get? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingidom
Each week, it feels like Disney is constantly dropping new information, details, and more, all connected to the company. Each week, we do a wrap-up of the biggest news from the week so you don’t miss a single detail. This week had some fun changes and one major milestone!
From dining discounts to merchandise deals, who doesn’t love to take advantage of the perks Disney offers? But one of our favorite perks is Disney’s secret lounges hidden across the parks!

Disney Vacation Club members can escape the heat (and the crowds!) by visiting the Disney Vacation Club Star View Station at Disneyland. But that’s about to change soon, because Star View Station is temporarily closing!
Downtown Disney is undergoing lots of changes, similar to the rest of Disneyland Resort, and there’s one restaurant we’re really looking forward to finally experiencing.
Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby
Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby is a new restaurant coming to Downtown Disney with an expected opening timeline of the latter half of 2026. The restaurant is brought to life by both Gordon Ramsay and the creators of Earl of Sandwich, conveniently located right next door, and now, we’ve just gotten our first look at the INSIDE of the new restaurant!
When Disneyland Park opened to the public in 1955, it was overcrowded.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
15,000 people were expected on opening day, which was initially supposed to be an invite-only preview event. However, nearly 28,000 people showed up. Counterfeit tickets and people charging visitors to climb a ladder to get into the park over the back fence made for an absolute fiasco. Opening day may have been a bit of a mess (to the point that it was nicknamed “Black Sunday”) but those guests got to experience something that over one billion people have now done…enjoy the magic that is Disneyland Park!
The Fourth of July celebration was a big one this year, as America celebrated its 250th anniversary! We’re sure it was an amazing celebration wherever you were, but there was something special about being at Disneyland Resort.
250th Celebration Dipped Mickey Bar
Everyone loves a classic Mickey Bar when at the Disney Parks. It’s one of, if not THE, most iconic snacks at Disney. Well, Disneyland completely changed the beloved Disney treat for July 4th, and we couldn’t pass up on it. Does this hold up to the icon that the Mickey Bar is? We got thoughts for you!
Just about a week after its release, one of the most affordable Disneyland Resort tickets seen in recent history has now completely sold out.
Disneyland Entrance
Last week, Disneyland released a new limited-time ticket deal for just $59, where guests could visit the park in the evening for a few hours for a much lower cost than your average ticket. The deal was popular, clearly, because now, just six days later, the ticket is no longer available for purchase.
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!
A big celebration for 2027 graduates is coming to Disneyland next year!
The cutest little graduate.
The 2026 graduates have finally had their time of celebration for their big accomplishment, and now it’s time to take a look at the 2027 graduates. Disneyland Resort Grad Nite is confirmed to return in 2027, and we now have the official dates. Get those calendars out, and let’s take a look!
If you’re booking a flight to Disney World for this fall or winter, then today is your lucky day. Southwest Airlines just announced a massive sale with flights to Disney World as low as $59!
Let’s fly!
Southwest’s “Go Fourth” sale is discounting one-way flights from hundreds of U.S. airports to only $59 a ticket! Wondering how to get the deal? We’ve got you covered!
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.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
