food IS a theme park
We all know how much fun you can have on a Disney World vacation, but is it all just a trick of the mind?
Cinderella Castle
Believe it or not, Disney is working some EXTRA behind-the-scenes magic you might not even be aware of!
Now that Cinderella Castle in Disney World has received its “royal makeover” to get it ready for Disney World’s big 50th anniversary this year, we thought it would be fun to look back on all the different overlays each castle has received throughout the years!
50 years is a long time!
You wouldn’t believe how much (or how little!) they’ve changed over time! Let’s take a peek at some castle designs from years gone by!
These days, a simple photograph of the Disney parks means the world to us! Seeing the occasional update on how the parks are doing, even if it’s just a snapshot, truly brightens our day. So when we see new photos emerge, we want to share them with you!
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle in Anaheim, California
We got a special Earth Day treat from Rebecca Campbell, president of the Disneyland Resort. She shared beautiful photographs on Instagram from inside the parks on a trip she took yesterday to check on the essential Cast Members currently working. Her caption as she walked through the parks reads, “I had to stop a few times and acknowledge how beautiful it still looks.”
We’re basically big Disney fangirls over here for the new Magic Happens Parade (I mean, have you seen those amazing floats?!).

But, the foodies in us are even MORE excited for all the themed eats and treats around the park! While we’ve tried the Dia de los Muertos Hand Pie and Island Pork Toasted Sandwich, we’re snacking on a classic treat with a princess twist!
We’ve already seen a couple of new spirit jerseys in Disneyland that we’re wanting to splurge on. But just when we think we found the perfect park outfit, Disney releases more apparel for us to add to our collection.

While strolling around the park, we spotted a few other shirts in New Orleans Square that are just too iconic not to add to our wardrobe.
Disneyland is truly a magical place where anything…and we mean ANYTHING…can happen!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We’ve been walking in a Winter Wonderland around Disneyland the past few days taking in all the festive sights and enjoying the new eats for the season. We were all geared up to watch the first “Believe…In Holiday Magic” fireworks of the holiday season when…something kinda CRAZY happened!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….At Disneyland! And WE have the photos!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
The Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland got quite the makeover earlier this year with a vibrant and vividly hued blue and pink color scheme, complete with pops of golden “pixie dust.” Now, the adorned castle is getting another makeover with the first addition of snow for the holiday season!
Do you love the new Arendelle Aqua color trend?! Then do we have some news for you!

However, we’re especially excited to catch a glimpse of Maleficent after watching the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil trailer and behind-the-scenes featurette. And, we’re ready to celebrate this wicked villainess with a returning treat in Disneyland!
