food IS a theme park
The Lunar New Year will begin on Friday, and 2021 is set to be the Year of the Ox!
Year of the Ox Merchandise
We’ve already seen some merch for this Chinese celebration around the parks, from a stunning set of red and gold Minnie ears to a fierce spirit jersey!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Downtown Disney!
Disney California Adventure Park
Disney California Adventure’s 20th Anniversary party is in full swing so you bet we have plenty of crowds, merchandise, and food updates for you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
A reopening date has been revealed for Starbucks in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District.
Starbucks at Downtown Disney
As you may recall, the spot was closed as on-location dining was prohibited in Downtown Disney as part of a regional stay-at-home order in Southern California which was implemented in early December. The order has since been lifted, and now a visit to the Disneyland website displays upcoming operating hours for Starbucks in Downtown Disney. [Read more…]
In just a few weeks, the Star Wars Trading Post will reopen at its new spot in Downtown Disney in California.
Star Wars Trading Post Progress
While most guests will get the chance to visit it on February 19th, Disneyland Legacy Passholders can preview this spot a few days early. And now, reservations for this special Passholder preview are available!
There’s something about a rich milkshake when you’re exploring Downtown Disney.
Red Velvet Cake Batter Classic Shake
Well, we’re in luck today because we’re trying out a NEW shake over at Black Tap Burgers and Shakes. This spot is known for some seriously over-the-top and PRICY milkshakes. So, what are we trying today?
Every now and then, you may come across a piece of “rogue merchandise” from Disney World that winds up in Disneyland, or vice versa!
Disney Dress Shop
On our most recent visit Downtown Disney, however, we did NOT expect to see this unique piece of EPCOT merchandise!
Today, February 8th, marks the 20th birthday of Disney California Adventure!
Churro Cart
We’ve loved celebrating the occasion with fries in Mickey bowls, new special merchandise, and even diamond-shaped glow cubes! We tried many treats today, but one, in particular, wanted to make sure that Disney California had a very happy birthday!
Disney California Adventure Park in Disneyland Resort is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year!

The theme park opened as an extension of Disneyland in 2001. (Can you believe it’s really been 20 years??) Of course, Disneyland is celebrating the theme park’s birthday with loads of goodies. We stopped at Disneyland Resort to check out all the limited-edition merchandise!
Some recipes for Disneyland and Disney World restaurants are so iconic that they deserve to be locked in a vault of their own!
Salt & Straw
And much like Disney movies, Salt & Straw at Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort is “unvaulting” a few of its most epic flavors from the past decade!
How dreamy does this sound — peanut butter, marshmallows, and chocolate covering a toasty, warm churro?
Willie’s Churros
OMG. We’re drooling just thinking about it. Last year, Disney California Adventure debuted quite possibly the churro of our dreams with the Fluffernutter Churro. We thought we might never see this sweet treat again and, thankfully, we were mistaken.
