food IS a theme park
A Disneyland classic is about to reopen, with some BRAND-NEW MAGIC.
It’s so cute
On November 14th, the opening day (technically, but we’ll get to that), the attraction Storybook Land Canal Boats is set to reopen from refurbishment with a brand new miniature based on Rapunzel’s Tower from Tangled in honor of Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration.
The annual TEA (Themed Entertainment Association) Global Experience Index just released its official report for 2024. The report summarizes data from the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA), Entertainment + Culture Advisors (ECA), The Park Database (TPDB), and InPark Magazine. Now, we finally have a list of the most visited theme parks worldwide in 2024! While the report includes the most visited theme parks globally, Florida’s own Magic Kingdom Park topped the list. Are you surprised? As theme park reporters ourselves (who travel to major amusement parks all over the world), we’re not surprised.
Magic Kingdom
In fact, Disney won big in this category, claiming four of the top five most visited theme parks worldwide in 2024. Following Magic Kingdom, the list includes Disneyland Park, Universal Studios Japan, Tokyo Disneyland, and Shanghai Disneyland.
Take a good look at this photo. Take it in. Ahh…the beauty of a Disney theme park at night, right? There’s something extra special about an evening at Disneyland Resort. In fact, one of our favorite parts of spending the night at Disneyland is catching the fireworks show. It’s just SO GOOD.

Clearly, the DFB team is a big fan of fireworks. The combination of music, pyrotechnics, and projections really creates something magical. And now, Disney has started using drone technology to further enhance its nighttime spectaculars. Thanks to @socaloutdoorexplorer and @whatsupscv on Instagram, we may have an update on a new drone project in Disneyland.
Dining in Disneyland can be overwhelming because you’ve got a TON of options. Whether you want something fast and easy at a quick service restaurant, a sit-down meal at a table service, or an upscale meal that you’ll never forget, there’s something in the resort for everyone.
