food IS a theme park
Today, Disneyland announced potential plans for a HUGE expansion.

That may take years to come to fruition, but there’s one new land we know for SURE is coming to Disney California Adventure: Avengers Campus!
Earlier today, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Amaro, made a presentation at the IAAPA Expo about progress on many of Disney’s ongoing projects.

He shared updates on projects like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Space 220 Restaurant, and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser in Walt Disney World. He also discussed several projects ongoing at Disneyland Paris. And we also got the chance to see several photos from inside Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, which are both still currently closed.
We’ve been enjoying Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a while now but things are starting to ramp up on the West Coast version!
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’ve known for some time now that Disneyland is getting its own Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway ride, but construction has been delayed. Now we have a construction photo of the work happening on this Disneyland project. [Read more…]
Disneyland has been closed for almost eight months now and it may remain closed for a while.

Still, that doesn’t mean that it’s a total ghost town behind the gate. With no guests in the park, crews can work on a bunch of different construction projects without having to keep out of guest areas — and work they are.
While Disneyland Resort faces an extended closure, we often pop into Downtown Disney to see if we can spot any new merch and dining updates.

While visiting, we’ll stop by Disneyland’s entrance gates to see if there are any signs of life on the other side. We’ve spotted new physical distancing markers and even a potential new walkway. On our recent visit, we stopped by the gates of Disneyland to see what else is new!
It’s been over six months since Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure closed due to the global health crisis.

But fortunately, those who on the West Coast who need to get a lil’ Disney fix (uh, us!) can head to Downtown Disney, the resort’s shopping and dining district.
There are LOTS of interesting and exciting developments across the Walt Disney Company! We are starting to see the gradual reopening process begin around the globe, and the news just doesn’t stop these days!

So, let’s get caught up on all things Disney Parks and entertainment!
A few days ago we got some insight into the state of Disney parks — such as the reopening of Shanghai Disneyland — during the Walt Disney Company Second Quarter Earnings Call.

Now, it appears that a very early step in the process of resuming operations in Disneyland is being put into motion. Disney is working with California government and health officials to reinstate limited teams for “essential work” on Avengers Campus and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
Greetings from the future!

If there’s one thing that the world of tomorrow has down, it’s cool murals! We’re keeping an eye on progress on the overhaul to the Tomorrowland entrance in Disneyland and we spotted a BIG sign of progress today. One of the murals that’s set to flank the interior side of the entrance is complete and it is oh, so cool.
It’s time for another installment of What’s New from Disneyland Resort! This week we have some delicious menu additions in Fantasyland, fun construction progress, and more merch than you can wave a flag at. 😉 Come stroll through Walt’s park with us!
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
