food IS a theme park
We hope you’re hungry because it’s time to EAT!
2025 DCA Food and Wine Festival
The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival runs from February 28h through April 21st, 2025, and there will be plenty of delicious food to try. However, if you’re at Disney California Adventure on February 27th, there’s a little surprise for you — the festival has opened EARLY.
There has been so much Epic Universe news, and it is getting us so excited to be able to visit this new park!

It was just announced last week that Epic Universe would officially open on May 22nd, 2025. Plus, tickets, vacation packages, and bookings are open for the Grand Helios Hotel today, and demand is high as the website had to pause bookings for vacation packages earlier in the day due to the demand. If you want to experience this new park, the only way to do so is by purchasing multi-day tickets or a vacation package. But that is not the case for Universal Annual Passholders, and Universal recently hinted at a perk that only passholders will be able to take advantage of.
Ready or not, the holiday season has arrived!
Festival of Holidays
Disney parks have been decked out on both coasts and we’re ready for all sorts of festive fun. Speaking of festive, Disneyland’s Festival of Holidays is coming up soon, but it looks like Disney has decided to bring us the holidays early!
We have waited almost five years for the opening of TRON / Lightcycle Run since it started construction!
TRON Lightcycle / Run is open!
So, we were more than a little happy when it was announced that there would be a soft opening before its official opening on April 4th, 2023. We’ve already taken a ride on the grid during a preview event, but now guests can hop on and test out this coaster before it opens next month. But if you’re planning to ride it soon, there’s something we need to WARN you about!
It’s TRON day, DFB readers!
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Even though TRON Lightcycle / Run wasn’t officially supposed to open until April 4th, Disney recently announced there would be a soft opening from now until April 2nd. You know what that means — we’re live in Magic Kingdom to bring you all the details!
We’ve been talking about the hype that is TRON Lightcycle / Run for a while now. Some Disney World parkgoers have already been on it due to previews, but soon, the public will be able to finally hop on a Lightcycle to go on a race around the Grid.
TRON Lightcycle / Run by night.
Although the official opening date for TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom is actually April 4th, Disney recently announced that the ride would have a soft opening on March 20th (and as a result, we noticed park pass reservations for that date filling up). So this is your reminder that you need to get up early tomorrow morning if you want to ride this new attraction.
TRON Lightcycle / Run is set to open on April 4th, but you could get on it earlier — if you’re lucky!
TRON Lightcycle / Run
No, we’re not talking about the previews that already took place for Disney Vacation Club Members, Cast Members, or Annual Passholders. TRON will actually be opening up early to the general public but you’ll need to know these rules!
Disneyland has a lot going on…and it’s about to get busier!

The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival runs from March 3rd through April 25th, 2023, and there will be plenty of delicious food to try. However, if you’re at Disney California Adventure on March 2nd, there’s a little surprise for you — the festival has opened EARLY.
The holidays came EARLY to Disneyland!

Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle was ahead of the game with holiday decorations before Halloween even arrived, and now another festive event is kicking off before its scheduled start date. Festival of Holidays has (unofficially) begun in Disney California Adventure! [Read more…]
Today was a HUGE day for Disney World!
Celebration of The Festival of The Lion King
When Disney World reopened last year, much of the live entertainment was suspended. But then we got the news that Festival of the Lion King would return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And today, the show returned for a soft reopening, and WE WERE THERE!
