food IS a theme park
Don’t you love it when Disney restaurants have specialty items every month!
Disney’s Grand Californian
There’s a dining spot at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort and Spa at the Disneyland Resort that we love to check out every month. Why? Well, the restaurant has something called “Hot Dog of the Month“, and we needed to check out what May has in store!
With so much construction happening around Disney World and Disneyland Resort, not to mention what’s all happening outside of the parks like D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event later this year, it feels like there’s at least once a month we’re saying there’s something BIG to look out for. Why? Well, because it’s the truth!
Disney California Adventure
If you’re planning a trip out to California this summer to visit Disneyland, you need to know that there are lots of exciting events on the way! However, August 27th in particular will be one to look out for — here’s why!
Well, we’ve got some…not-so-great news out of Disneyland Resort, and honestly? It’s something we NEVER saw coming.
Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin
Over in Toontown, you’ll find lots of different attractions for guests of all ages to enjoy. You can tour Mickey and Minnie’s houses, take a ride on Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway or Chip ‘N’ Dale’s GADGETcoaster, and dine at Café Daisy or Good Boy! Grocers. However, there’s one ride here that’s scared a bit for basically all of time, but it’s still lots of fun — that was, until this major issue took place.
We love seeing special events happen in the Disney parks, especially when they get so many people involved!

One of our ultimate favorites is Dapper Days, which takes place in both Disney World and Disneyland throughout the year. However, if you’re not into dressing up fancy but prefer more of a darker style, then Bats Day is 100% for you. It just happened in Disneyland recently, but if you missed it, don’t worry — the 2027 date has just been announced!
Disneyland has already seen so many changes this year, from the Galaxy’s Edge characters to the Avengers Campus expansion. But now, even more changes are coming Disneyland’s way!
Disneyland’s Autopia
Autopia is one of the remaining Disneyland opening attractions and has mostly stayed the same over the years. But Autopia will be totally different soon!
Disneyland just got a massive upgrade! In case you missed it, the West Coast Galaxy’s Edge is shaking up its timeline to include characters and music from the original trilogy!
It’s Darth Vader!
This comes with a lot of fun changes, but we’re most excited for the characters. We met so many never-before-seen characters from A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and the rest of the Star Wars universe today!
Is April really the time to be talking about Halloween? Well, we’re the Disney Food Blog, so of course it is!
Mickey pumpkin in Disneyland
It’s been a big day for Halloween news for Disney! The dates got revealed for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney World, and Disney shared tons of spooky merch coming to both Disney Resorts. Now that the Disney Halloween news is pouring out, we should be seeing more about Halloween Time at Disneyland, starting with some eats and treats that are returning in 2026!
Disney may have entirely gotten rid of the Muppets Courtyard at Hollywood Studios, but that doesn’t mean The Muppets are going away forever at the parks!
Sam Eagle Sipper
The Muppets will be taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster beginning on May 26th at Hollywood Studios, and over at Disneyland, an iconic Muppet will be making an appearance starting on May 21st — but not in the way you might think! A brand-new Muppet-themed bucket is coming to the Happiest Place on Earth, and we’re sharing everything we know so far.
Big news, Disneyland fans! While Disney World has been under tons of construction for the past few years (does it kinda feel like forever to anyone else? That’s a different story, let me get us back on topic), there are TONS of projects happening over at Disneyland Resort as well.
Disneyland Monorail
One of the largest construction projects has been the temporary closure of the Disneyland Monorail, which makes getting around the park, and to and from Downtown Disney, much easier. It closed for refurbishment on March 30th, but now, we finally have a reopening date!
There have been a lot of closures at the Disneyland Resort this year, but the reopenings are starting to come!
Disney California Adventure
We’ve seen the closing of Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, the monorail, and more. However, one ride that was closed is reopening in the Disneyland Resort at Disney California Adventure next month. Make sure to get those calendars out so you can enjoy the ride when it comes back.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
