food IS a theme park
We’ve been keeping an eye on all the news related to Disneyland Resort.
Disneyland Gate
Although Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure Park will be reopening soon, it appears the theme parks themselves are not expected to fully reopen for quite some time.
La Brea Bakery Cafe in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort is a great breakfast and brunch joint!

But it’s not just for mornings — La Brea serves lunch and dinner, too. And now, the cafe even offers a Happy Hour Menu!
We here at DFB, along with all of our West Coast friends, have been getting geared up and VERY excited for the opening of Buena Vista Street!
Disney California Adventure Park
Last month, Disney announced that the Buena Vista Street area of Disney California Adventure would be reopening for shopping and dining purposes as an extension of Downtown Disney. This news has been very exciting, as this is the first time in eight months that guests will be able to step into a Disneyland Resort park! In preparation for the opening of this area on November 19th, we’ve been anxiously watching the area for updates, and today we spotted Christmas decor!
Halloween may be over, but you can always keep the spooky spirit alive in your heart!
Jack Pin
Recently, we’ve spotted a number of new pins themed to Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and even some amazing new Nightmare Before Christmas purses, some of which sold out SUPER quickly! But, if you’re still looking to grab that EPIC Nightmare Before Christmas tote bag from Harveys, we found a spot where you can snatch it up!
Very soon, we’ll be stepping into Disney California Adventure Park to shop and dine on Buena Vista Street!

But, until then, we’re doing quite a bit of shopping at Downtown Disney’s World of Disney store! Today, we found a bunch of awesome sweatshirts that will make sure you’re warm, cozy, and cute throughout the winter season!
Although most of Disneyland Resort remains closed for the time being, Downtown Disney reopened for business this summer.
World of Disney at Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney stays pretty busy on weekends, weekdays tend to be quieter — except for today, when we noticed weekend-level crowds there.
This month, Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure will open up to guests for shopping and dining.

While a list of shops and restaurants was initially announced to open with this event, another restaurant has been added on!
Although Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park must remain closed under California’s current theme park reopening guidelines, several changes are coming to Disneyland Resort very soon!
The Disneyland Hotel
The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will be reopening soon for Disney Vacation Club Members and Buena Vista Street at California Adventure Park is set to open for limited dining and shopping later this month. Now, we’ve got another update related to reservations at Disneyland Resort hotels.
The Disneyland Resort theme parks are still unable to reopen at the moment, but Downtown Disney is soon set to expand into Buena Visa Street in Disney’s California Adventure Park and the Disney Backlot Premiere Store (technically located within California Adventure) also recently reopened.

But, now we’ve got even BIGGER news! If you’re a hoping to visit Disneyland Resort at some point in the future for some shopping and dining and want to stay at one of its resort hotels — you will soon be able to!
Here at DFB, we aren’t known to say no to dessert. We love trying out the different flavors and creations that Disney makes!
Kakamora Float from Aloha Isle Refreshments
Our love for everything sweet has made us really excited about these ice cream flavors being released by Salt & Straw! There’s something a little bit different about these flavors though…they could be a part of our Thanksgiving meals!
