food IS a theme park
We spent our day yesterday checking out some interesting developments.
Disneyland
Stroll around Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort with us to see allllll of the latest news when it comes to food, construction, and merchandise!
Our mouths are watering just THINKING about the beignets at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen Express.
Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen
A few weeks ago, we tried the Mardi Gras Glazed Beignets at this Downtown Disney spot. Yum, right?! Well, when we heard about some new additions to the menu, we just had to come back to give them a taste. We’re trying SNICKERDOODLE Beignets today, guys!
Ever thought, you know what would be cute? Sticking a little face on Cinderella Castle! Well, that’s what Jerrod Maruyama is doing!
Downtown Disney
Jerrod Maruyama is the artist behind the Hipster Mickey line and you might recognize his name from some recent designs we’ve spotted in the parks (like this MagicBand). He’s been bringing us too-cool-for-school Mickey gear — like a Hipster Mickey hat — for a little while now and we spotted a new home collection from the hip artist on our recent visit to Disneyland Resort!
Disneyland Legacy Passholders: you now have more time to save!
Downtown Disney
Disneyland Legacy Passholders have recently been able to save on merchandise both online and in the parks. Those perks were about to end, but now Disney has extended their in-store offer!
February 22nd is National Margarita Day and this is a holiday we can fully get behind!
Tortilla Jo’s
Watermelon margaritas, peppermint margaritas, even tomato margaritas, we’ll take them all! And Tortilla Jo’s at Downtown Disney is celebrating the occasion with some special drink deals today only!
You know what’s awesome? BEIGNETS!!!!

And beignets are a BIG deal over on the West Coast at Disneyland. Not only can you get Mickey-shaped beignets (at least when the parks are open), but you can also get some yummy beignets at Downtown Disney at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen.
Earlier this month, Southern California’s stay-at-home order was lifted, allowing eating and drinking to return to Downtown Disney. Since then, various dining locations throughout the shopping district as well as Buena Vista Street have reopened, although we’ve been waiting for a few more spots to trickle in!

Starting this week, guests can once again get their favorite caffeine fix while visiting Downtown Disney!
Welcome back to Downtown Disney, where some commotion has been happening in recent weeks! Since Southern California’s stay-at-home order was lifted, dining has returned, and soon there will be a ticketed event INSIDE California Adventure!!

But before we can get to that, we have to recap what we’ve seen lately at Disneyland’s shopping and dining district. Let’s jump in!
It’s an exciting day for Star Wars fans on the West Coast!
After opening in fall 2020 in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney, Star Wars Trading Post closed just a few months later to be relocated. We’ve kept an eye on the construction and eagerly awaited its opening, and now the day is here!
Over the holiday weekend, we’ve seen massive crowds in Disney World. From dwindling Park Pass Reservation availability to long lines for rides and attractions, you could definitely feel a difference in the number of people visiting the parks and resorts over the last couple of days.

We’re also seeing big crowds on the west coast as well! Downtown Disney, which has been reopened since July of 2020, has begun pausing how many people they allow in!
