food IS a theme park
We’ve seen ALL kinds of Mickey and Minnie ears — Stitch ears, bride ears, light-up balloon ears, and MANY more.
This gate will soon be open again!
But today, when we were at Disneyland we spotted a NEW pair of ears that looked oddly familiar…
The Downtown Disney Starbucks West is officially open!
Downtown Disney Starbucks West
We welcomed back the Starbucks next to World of Disney last month, and now, the second location is back up and running, too! It reopened TODAY, and you know we were in there checkin’ out what’s new. And sure enough, we spotted a special new WandaVision-themed drink!
Today we took a visit to Downtown Disney, and we were greeted with a lovely surprise!
Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure
Usually, our visits here are pretty eventful. We check out the new food, we scope out the merchandise, and we look to see if anything has changed. Today, we actually got the chance to see someONE special — a Disneyland Resort celebrity!
When it comes to celebrating all things spring and Easter, Disneyland Resort has a few ways to celebrate!
White Rabbit Easter Egg
Not only does Disney release those AMAZING chocolate Easter eggs (NOM!), but Disneyland also hosts an Eggstravaganza. This is a scavenger hunt that invites guests to find character-themed Easter Eggs in the theme parks and Downtown Disney. And it’s SO much fun!
If you’re a coffee-lover going to Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort soon, you’re in luck!
Starbucks
Not too long ago, one of the two Starbucks locations in the shopping and dining area reopened (and we were pretty happy about it). But now, the Downtown Disney Starbucks West location has announced its reopening date!
Every spring, the Disneyland Resort celebrates all things Easter Eggs! And we aren’t just talking about those delicious handmade fudge eggs. Disney also scatters character-themed Easter Eggs around the theme parks and Downtown Disney. It’s a fun activity for the entire family that Disneyland has hosted for years, and you can purchase a map to hunt them all down (with a special prize for those who complete the map!).
Fudge Easter Egg
Since the parks closed before the Easter season last year, we missed out on our annual Easter Egg hunt around Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. But it looks like for 2021, we’ll soon be able to take part in the springtime festivities!
Every time we turn around, Disney is releasing a brand new pair of Minnie Ears!
ALLLLLL the ears…
Most recently, we’ve seen EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Orange Bird ears (ORANGE BIRD!), Disney California Adventure ears, and Balloon ears! And more are coming every single day! We can’t keep up — but we certainly try! We just found a NEW pair of Loungefly Minnie Ears that literally has icons of all our favorite things on them.
Disney California Adventure will reopen its gate soon meaning there might be a few more people hanging out around Downtown Disney!
A Touch of Disney banner already up in the park!
On March 18th, the park will reopen Thursdays through Mondays for the special ticketed event, A Touch of Disney. Needless to say, we’re pretty excited to be back eating and drinking our way through all the different lands. And, Disney is giving us even MORE time to meander around Downtown Disney after the event ends!
We spent a lovely day in Downtown Disney yesterday!
Downtown Disney
The Disneyland theme parks may still be closed for the time being, but we’re able to spend the day at the nearby shopping and dining district. So, we’ve got an update on everything NEW!
In case you missed it, there’s a brand new Disney character in town, and her name is Raya!
Raya and the Last Dragon sculpture — made with SAND!
That’s right — Raya and the Last Dragon premiered TODAY on Disney+ and we can’t wait to watch it! We’ve already seen Raya and her crew making appearances on merch, and there’s also a gorgeous sand sculpture at Disney’s Animal Kingdom dedicated to the movie.
