Now, we know not everyone has the time to read through every single thing, and with your busy lives, it’s hard to keep up with all the big news drops. So we’re going to go through the three biggest Disney news stories of the week so you can get caught up quickly.
Disney California Adventure’s Food and Wine Festival is FINALLY here, and we’re warning you now that if you’re hungry, you may want to grab a snack before you continue reading!
Schmoozies!
The 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially started at Disneyland Resort, and there is so much to explore. From now through April 27th, you can devour some delicious eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and so much more. However, the festival booths aren’t the ONLY spots you can grab some exclusive eats — there are also festival-specific offerings at some of the year-round locations in the park, and we’re checking some of them out!
If you’ve stayed at a Disney World hotel, you probably love it for the immersive theming, great perks, delicious food, and that unbeatable Disney bubble feeling.
Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Resort
Whether you’re at a Value Resort with larger-than-life icons or a Deluxe with monorail access, Disney hotels are designed to keep the magic going long after you leave the parks. There are lots of reasons to love a Disney resort, and we talk about those a LOT. But there are also some not-so-magical things that go with staying at any resort. Let’s talk about the bed situation — specifically… the sheets.
“Cock-a-Doodle-Doo,” you say? Nope! We’re at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. And that means we’re talking about Cluck-A-Doodle Moo!
Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo
Cluck-A-Doodle Moo is one of the Festival Marketplace Booths at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. And as we make our way around to all of the Festival’s Food Booths to bring you our full reviews, we’re visiting the one with the best name of them all, so you can know if it’s worth a stop!
It’s no secret that MagicBands have become an integral part of Disney World vacations over the last decade+. They can serve as room keys, payment methods, entry tickets, be used to check-in for Lightning Lanes, connect with PhotoPass, and react to select Disney theme park attractions with “lighting effects and gesture recognition”, and they’re available in a slew of cool designs!

However, take it from me, there are some things you NEED to know before picking up your bands for your next Disney World trip!
Disney World water parks can become very popular, very quickly — especially during the hotter times of year, which are quickly approaching!
Typhoon Lagoon
The resort has two different water parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. Currently, Blizzard Beach is the only water park open, but come May 26th, both water parks will be open through September 8th. If you’re planning on heading to either of them this summer, there’s one item you CANNOT forget to bring. We’ve forgotten it ourselves and 100% regretted it, so please don’t make the same mistake we did.
It’s time to dive into a garlic-kissed dish — and more! — at the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival with a stop at the popular Garlic Kissed Festival Marketplace Booth.
Cuties Mandarin Orange & Blackberry Punch
What makes Garlic Kissed such an in-demand spot? Well, we’re pretty sure that the Sirloin Gruyère Mac & Cheese has something to do with it. But we’re sipping on some cocktails, too, as we make our way around to all of the Festival’s Food Booths to bring you our full reviews. Let’s see if Garlic Kissed lives up to its great reputation once more!
