Today â 16 July 2024Main stream * the disney food blog * * When Will the Tianaâs Bayou Adventure Ride Open in Disneyland? * 16 July 2024 at 10:00 * WHEN WILL THE TIANAâS BAYOU ADVENTURE RIDE OPEN IN DISNEYLAND? the disney food blog By: David Goodkind 16 July 2024 at 10:00 Tianaâs Bayou Adventure opened last month at Magic Kingdom in Disney World but we still have some questions that have been lingering on our minds. Tianaâs Bayou Adventure at Disneyland When Disney announced that Splash Mountain would be reimagined to become Tianaâs Bayou Adventure back in 2020, we learned that the new attraction would not only grace Disney World, but Disneyland Park as well. Disneyland began construction on the project after Disney World started its version of the ride, so it makes sense that itâs lagged behind, but now that weâve been there and done that with Disney Worldâs Tianaâs Bayou Adventure, all eyes have turned to The Happiest Place on Earth. Per the official Disneyland website (and actual signs around Disneyland), Tianaâs Bayou Adventure is still slated to open in 2024 at Disneyland. As to the exact date, we still donât know. Disney has been pretty tight-lipped so far about the Disneyland version. Still, that hasnât stopped us from speculating and we might have a few guesses as to when the ride could eventually open. Construction on Tianaâs Bayou Adventure We visit Disneyland multiple times every week and monitor the progress the ride is making. Basing our observations on Magic Kingdomâs Tianaâs Bayou Adventure timeline, the Disneyland version looks to be making good progress and right now we have no reason to doubt Disneyâs 2024 timeline. So operating on the assumption that Tianaâs Bayou Adventure will open this year, there are a few options Disneyland has to roll out this new attraction. Tianaâs Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom First and foremost, Disney would need time to finish construction, do ride testing, and hold previews, so expecting an official opening date before September is pretty much off the table. Itâs always possible that Disney gets an exponential amount of work done in July and August that expedites the opening timeline, but weâre speculating that development will continue through August. As we said, weâre visiting frequently and while construction is moving, our reporters have yet to see anything that makes them go, âOh, this looks about ready to open!â Tianaâs Bayou Adventure at Disney World So hereâs where things start to get serious. September and the fall is a big time at the Disneyland Resort, as it is in the middle of Halloween Time. Haunted Mansion will have returned with its holiday overlay, Oogie Boogie Bash will be ongoing, and the resort will be experiencing increased interest. It could make sense for Disney to turn the hype levels from 10 to 11 by rolling out Tianaâs Bayou Adventure around Halloween. Disneyland After Halloween, the next plausible opening timeframe would be before November 15th, Disneylandâs holiday season. The time between Halloween Time and the holiday season at Disneyland is typically considered one of the resortâs offseasons, so it could make sense to drum up demand by officially opening Tianaâs Bayou Adventure. Louis on Tianaâs Bayou Adventure Finally, the only time left when Tianaâs Bayou Adventure could open in Disneyland is around the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas already draw in massive crowds and Disneyland could possibly use this to its advantage when opening Tianaâs Bayou Adventure. With that said, this is also the end of the year and the ride would have to open then just to meet the 2024 deadline, and that could simply be enough justification. Tianaâs Bayou Adventure Of course, all of this is speculation and itâs always possible that Disneyland delays the grand opening into 2025. Regardless, weâll continue to keep you posted on all Tianaâs Bayou Adventure updates as well as all the latest Disneyland news, tips, reviews, and more, so stay tuned right here at the Disney Food Blog!

Disneyland Not only does Disneyland have the BEST corndogs, churros, and snacks (we rate Disneyland #1 for food, by the way), but it also gets the BEST souvenirs. Now, granted, sometimes those souvenirs do make their way to Disney World, but sometimes that takes a while. Thatâs why weâre currently checking flights to Anaheim because Disney just dropped a look at a new souvenir that is a 100% MUST-HAVE. So the official Disney Parks TikTok account posted a video of the absolute CUTEST ice cream bucket weâve ever seen. Itâs shaped like an ice cream truck, but you get it with ICE CREAM IN IT. Move out of the way, kitchen sink, because this is officially the best way to serve ice cream now. > @disneyparks > > When is this ice cream truck coming to our neighborhood? #Disney #DisneyParks > #DisneylandResort #Disneyland #IceCream #IceCreamTruck #DisneyEats > > ⏠original sound â Disney Parks Hereâs a still from the video so you can get a better look. Mickey is driving the little ice cream truck. ©Disney It even comes with a spoon shaped like an ice cream cone to eat the ice cream with. This is PURE GENIUS. ©Disney So when and where can you get your hands on this ice cream truck bucket? Itâs going to be released in Disneyland on July 16th at Gibson Girl in Disneyland and Clarabelleâs in Disney California Adventure. So letâs start booking those flights to the West Coast now! While youâre there, might as well enjoy Pixar Fest, too, which runs through August 4th. Stay tuned to DFB for more.

Theyâre experiences that gave me a deep love for the work our cast members do every single day. Recently, Iâve had the chance to share time with a few special cast members, learning first-hand about the amazing experience, dedication and passion each brings to their unique role. Theyâre the stars of âHow Happy Happens,â a new @DisneyParks YouTube series showcasing the stories of those who create the magic across Disney Experiences, day in and day out. You can watch the newest episode above, featuring Bob, one of the talented artists at the Silhouette Studio, located on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland park. It was clear from the moment Bob greeted me that his passion for his craft was more than just a job; it was a way of life, and what made the experience truly special was seeing the sheer delight that Bob gets from his work.  Each monthly episode is a deep dive into interesting roles across Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, offering an intimate glimpse into a day on the job with different cast members. We also get to learn about the personal stories of each cast member, uncovering pivotal moments that fueled their love for Disney and inspired them to pursue careers here. For the series premiere, I spent time with Todd, an entertainment technician who helps make movie magic at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disneyâs Hollywood Studios. From the audience perspective itâs clear how much fun the performers and crew are having, but Todd also showed me the careful behind-the-scenes coordination built into this showâs biggest sequences, and heâs had an incredible journey into this amazing role. Our last episode gave me the chance to meet Robyn, one of the savanna keepers who provides unmatched care to our amazing animals at Disneyâs Animal Kingdom. Robyn has a heartwarming connection to our rhinos, including one of the oldest on record to give birth, and witnessing her love for these gentle giants was incredibly touching. I canât wait to show you what weâve got in store next! Subscribe to @DisneyParks on YouTube so youâll know when new episodes arrive, and share this series with your friends and family, too. If you feel especially inspired and want to be part of the magic, visit disneycareers.com for more details on opportunities around the world. Whether youâre dreaming of a role onstage or backstage, thereâs a place for you in the Disney family. Creating this series has been an extraordinary journey thatâs given me a new perspective on Disney and the people who bring it to life. Weâre excited to bring more stories to you and continue celebrating the incredible cast members who make happy happen every day! The post Find Out âHow Happy Happensâ with Disney Cast Members appeared first on Disney Parks Blog. * My labels * My labels â * Article tags * Disneyland Resort * behind-the-scenes * Disneyland Park â * * 12 July 2024 at 08:00 * * the disney food blog * * NEWS: A Popular Downtown Disney Restaurant Is Offering a July Special * 9 July 2024 at 17:56 * NEWS: A POPULAR DOWNTOWN DISNEY RESTAURANT IS OFFERING A JULY SPECIAL the disney food blog By: David Goodkind 9 July 2024 at 17:56 Are you looking for good dining deals at Disneyland?

Halloween in Disneyland! We saw tons of new updates released for the Halloween festivities that we will be able to find in both Disneyland and Disney World this year, and tickets have been on sale for the events on each coast for a few weeks now. If you were hoping to head to Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland this year, we hope you already got your tickets, because theyâre SOLD OUT! Tickets went on sale last month on a few different dates, depending on which group you qualified as: * June 25th, 2024: Inspire Magic Key Holders (limited number of tickets available for pre-sale) * June 26th, 2024: All Magic Key Holders (limited number of tickets available for pre-sale) * June 27th, 2024: General public (limited amount of tickets available) Villains Grove We saw the first night of the party sell out by June 25th (which is wild, since that was before Magic Key Holders and the general public could buy them), and the system had a LOT of bugs and issues that made getting our tickets pretty difficult. Mickeyâs Trick and Treat Show Now, however, the system is showing tickets as ALL sold out, and Disney is also not hinting that any more will become available. So if you werenât able to get tickets, weâre sorry to say that itâs very likely that youâre out of luck. ©Disney Oogie Boogie Bash is a highly anticipated event every year â itâs where Disney California Adventure becomes overrun with some of your favorite Disney villains. Similar to Mickeyâs Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom, guests are invited to dress up as they experience some of the parkâs attractions after dark, travel along trick-or-treat trails, exclusive snacks, and meet and greets, as well as exciting entertainment thatâs only available during the event. Frightfully Fun Parade The Bash officially begins at 6PM and goes until 11PM each night, but those who have tickets for the event can enter as early as 3PM. This means that Disney California Adventure may close EARLY for regular ticket holders for all party days, which are: * Sunday, August 25th * Tuesday, August 27th * Thursday, August 29th * Tuesday, September 3rd * Tuesday, September 10th * Thursday, September 12th * Sunday, September 15th * Tuesday, September 17th * Thursday, September 19th * Sunday, September 22nd * Tuesday, September 24th * Thursday, September 26th * Sunday, September 29th * Tuesday, October 1st * Thursday, October 3rd * Sunday, October 6th * Tuesday, October 8th * Thursday, October 10th * Sunday, October 13th * Tuesday, October 15th * Thursday, October 17th * Sunday, October 20th * Tuesday, October 22nd * Thursday, October 24th * Sunday, October 27th * Tuesday, October 29th * Thursday, October 31st Gotta pay a visit to the boogie man!

Sleeping Beauty Castle As much as we love our tried and true menu favorites at restaurants throughout Disney World and Disneyland, we do enjoy news of brand-new food items to try during our next trip (because they might become our new favorites!). Disney has just announced a new lunch menu at Disneyland Resort and we are hyped for all they have to offer. A NEW lunch menu has debuted at Carthay Circle Restaurant over at Disneyâs California Adventure Park. Carthay Circle is a classic Hollywood-inspired restaurant filled with Art Deco decor making it feel like a swanky hot spot from the Golden Age of Hollywood (think Hollywood Tower Hotel without all the cobwebs and creepy stuff). It features a sophisticated menu, influenced by upscale Southern Californian cuisine, along with retro-inspired cocktails. Carthay Circle Restaurant Starting on July 12th, new items will be added to the restaurantâs lineup as part of their Prix-Fixe Lunch Menu, which is only available on the weekends, Friday-Sunday. The adult lunch menu includes a choice of one starter and one entrĂ©e and is priced at $59 plus tax per adult. Carthay Circle First up as one of the new entrees offered is the Ginger and Soy Glazed Tri Tip which looks absolutely DELICIOUS. The steak seems really tender and we are fans of the Ginger and soy combo. This is listed as a main course option on the menu. @Disneyeats The Pan Roasted Shrimp looks shrimply delicious and we are curious to know what the sauce consists of. It is also on the menu as a main course. @Disneyeats And the Grilled Chicken Meatloaf is also an option as your main course. Chicken Meatloaf isnât really common to spot, so we love the unique twist on a comfort food classic on the menu. @Disneyeats One of the starter options is the Green Garbanzo Bean Fritters. As a self-proclaimed âGarbanzo Girlieâ, these look so good and the presentation makes it seem like itâll be an interesting burst of flavors in every bite. @Disneyeats And of course, no starter menu is complete without the option of a salad, and this Greek-style salad looks fresh and tasty. Very Southern California vibes. @Disneyeats You can order these items starting on July 12th at Carthay Circle Restaurant at Disney California Adventure Park. We canât wait to hear what everyone has to say about this new menu and hope to try it out soon. Stay tuned as we bring you all the latest Disney news and updates!

Getting around Disneyland Resort might look a little different soon. Why? There are several big closures and refurbishments happening soon, and they may impact your trip. Mickey & Minnieâs Runaway Railway in Disneyland If youâre planning a trip to Disneyland Resort this July, you might want to be aware of these upcoming closures. Thereâs nothing worse than being caught off guard during your vacation! Now, letâs dive in and see whatâs changing. First, a handy pathway that connects two parts of Disneyland will be closed soon. In fact, Disney shared that the bridge connecting New Orleans Square with Star Wars: Galaxyâs Edge will close starting July 8th, 2024. This is only a temporary closure, and you can still access Star Wars: Galaxyâs Edge via the Frontierland entrance. Star Wars: Galaxyâs Edge at Disneyland Starting July 8th, youâll have one less spot to dine! Hungry Bear Restaurant will temporarily close for âkitchen refurbishments,â so you wonât be able to get any chicken tenders or burgers from this spot. That said, you can get similar food at nearby spots like Stage Door CafĂ© and Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante. Hungry Bear Restaurant While the restaurant is closed, the Hungry Bear restrooms will also be unavailable. Luckily, there are plenty of nearby restrooms, but the closest option is located in Black Spire Outpost in Star Wars: Galaxyâs Edge. Hungry Bear Restaurant Paddles down, people! Davey Crockettâs Explorer Canoes will also close starting July 8th, 2024. The closure is due to adjacent construction. Davy Crockettâs Canoes Finally, we have one more closure to point out. If you were hoping to grab a healthy snack from the Critter Country Fruit Cart, youâll be out of luck starting July 8th. This cart is closing due to its location in Critter Country. Luckily, Disneyland has plenty of other fruit carts around the park, so all hope is not lost! Critter Country Wow, it looks like July 8th will be a busy day in terms of closures and construction at Disneyland! Oh, and donât forget â starting in August, two other attractions will close at Disneyland Park, including the Disneyland Railroad and Space Mountain. In the meantime, weâre always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more. THE ONE DISNEY WORLD RULE THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO DISNEYLAND WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DISNEYLAND?

Thereâs a new Disney treat at Star Wars: Galaxyâs Edge! Star Wars: Galaxyâs Edge at Disneyland Ever since the Star Wars land opened in 2019 at Disneyland Park, Batuu has been home to many kinds of fun nods to the Star Wars universe, such as Ogaâs Cantina and delicious Blue and Green Milk. In fact, if you canât get enough of this tasty Disney drink, youâve gotta check out this NEWEST limited-time offering! Right now, the Milk Stand in Galaxyâs Edge at Disneyland is selling a special Green Milk with Klatooine Paddy Frog Eggs and we tried it out! Green Milk with Klatooine Paddy Frog Eggs This variation on Green Milk is made with strawberry purĂ©e and blueberry popping spheres. You can pick this up at the Milk Stand while supplies last for $9.49. Available while supplies last We tried this new concotion on a super hot day and it was so refreshing! It had the citrusy tropical flavor of regular green milk, but the purĂ©e added the taste of fresh and sweet strawberries. So refreshing! The blueberry popping spheres were a nice touch but they quickly sank to the bottom, so get your Instagram pictures fast! These blueberry spheres were good, but they were more artificial in flavor than the purĂ©e. While they didnât hurt the drink, they also didnât elevate it. Green Milk with Klatooine Paddy Frog Eggs All in all, we found this drink to be something akin to a smoothy, and thatâs a good thing! Refreshing and sweet, we think this should appeal to already-established fans of Blue or Green Milk. If you donât like those drinks or arenât a huge fan of strawberries, then this might not be the Star Wars treat for you. Otherwise, we recommend trying this during your next visit to a galaxy far, far away!

Disneyland Disney World and Disneyland have a ton of differences. Featuring different accommodations, attractions, dining options, and entertainment, visiting each resort will result in wildly different experiences. In fact, if youâre a Disney World pro planning a trip to Disneyland, thereâs one major rule you can almost always ignore! The most notable difference between the two resorts is the size. In fact, Disneyland can fit inside Magic Kingdomâs parking lot! So when youâre planning a trip to Disneyland, itâs safe to say you can throw out the Disney World rule about giving yourself time for transportation â except for one special circumstance. Let us explain⊠Disneyland Monorail First things first â at Disney World, you have to account for the time that it takes to wait for transportation and the distance it takes to get between the parks and the hotels. Sometimes this can take over 30 minutes. You also have a plethora of transportation options to choose from, such as buses, the Disney Skyliner, water taxis, and the monorail. Skyliner at Disneyâs Caribbean Beach Resort Meanwhile, getting around the Disneyland Resort is much simpler. You can take buses and the Disneyland Monorail, but the latter is more for show, as it simply drops off near the Disneyland Hotel in Downtown Disney and Tomorrowland in Disneyland Park. If youâre staying at the hotels on property at the Disneyland Resort or going between the two parks, folks who donât need assistance traveling will usually get to their destination in a matter of minutes â transportation is hardly required. The Disneyland esplanade â from here, you are feet away from everything Disneyland has to offer! The Disneyland Esplanade is a super convenient courtyard that connects Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. From here, everything is just a few steps away. Downtown Disneyâs shops and restaurants are directly connected, you can access the hotels by going through Downtown Disney, and you can quite literally see Disneyland and Disney California Adventureâs gates from each park â no lines or public transportation required. Esplanade Of course, Disneylandâs compactness can be most taken advantage of by guests staying on-property, but if youâre staying nearby you probably should factor in some travel time. Parking lines are usually manageable but can be tricky in the morning and after work hours when the locals show up, and driving around the Los Angeles metropolitan area during rush hour or in the mornings can be nasty. Southern California has a bad traffic reputation, and, unfortunately, it often lives up to the reputation. Traffic could eventually get worse when construction begins for DisneylandForward, a major theme park expansion project aiming to bring new dining, attractions, and more to the area. A line of cars entering the Mickey & Friends parking structure Fortunately, many Good Neighbor hotels offer shuttle service to and from the Parks, and we recommend visiting the Disneyland website to learn more about which hotels might better accommodate your stay. All in all, when compared to Disneyland, transportation should be a non-factor for the most part when you traverse the Disneyland Resort. Often felt as a more laid-back experience altogether than Disney World, youâd be forgiven if you decide to relax a little more and take your time soaking everything in. No Skyliner shutdowns to worry about here! Disneyland Monorail For more Disneyland and Disney World, news, tips, reviews, and more, stay tuned right here at DFB for all the latest! MADE YOU LOOK!

Disneyland Each Disney Park offers something unique â the parks offer lively festivals, unique attractions, and unforgettable entertainment all over the world. But does one park do it better than the rest? Some Disney Adults suggest that may be the case! While the best Disney Park is purely subjective, fans of the American Disney Parks are starting to get pretty vocal about one being king of the six U.S.-based parks â Walt Disneyâs original Disneyland! While we donât have a favorite (itâs like picking your favorite child), weâve heard the noise and we can understand why many Disney Adults feel this way. Disneyland The overabundance of love for Disneyland as opposed to the Parks at Disney World seemingly stems from the reception of the Parksâ changes. Disneylandâs changes have gotten a warmer reception over the years while Disney Worldâs changes have tended to be more controversial among Disney Adults. Why is this? We have a few theories⊠WELCOME to Mickeyâs Toontown! March 2023 Letâs start with something more recent. Last year, Mickeyâs Toontown at Disneyland was transformed and, for the most part, everyone is happy with the changes? Right now, Haunted Mansion is closed for a queue makeover and refurbishment, and the sentiment is largely anticipation rather than disgust. And Space Mountainâs occasional Hyperspace Mountain overlay is welcomed when it comes around. Haunted Mansion is closed and under construction So why doesnât Disneyland get the same blowback with its changes that Disney World does when it changes things up? While thereâs no direct science, we have a few ideas. The first idea is that Disneyland likely operates with more of a reverence toward its history due to the stakes involved. Disneylandâs largest clientele is the locals and Magic Key Passholders, and so appeasing them is sort of a must. Similarly, as Disneyâs first theme park, thereâs a sense of responsibility that must be upheld. Removing or changing beloved, but older attractions cannot be done lightly. Mr. Toadâs Wild Ride is a park staple that is still popular at Disneyland to this day So instead of removing, Disneyland has meticulously tried to add or enhance, all while honoring its history. Mickeyâs Toontown is a success because it was enhanced and not replaced. Rumors circulated for years that Roger Rabbitâs CarToon Spin would have to make way for a new attraction like Mickey and Minnieâs Runaway Railway. However, Mickey and Minnieâs was added while nothing substantial was removed from Toontown. In fact, the land got a shiny new makeover that only further honored the beloved Disney characters. Roger Rabbitâs Car Toon Spin Meanwhile, Hollywood Studios removed the Great Movie Ride â an opening day attraction in the center of the park â to make way for its Mickey and Minnieâs. The Disney World Parks are no stranger to replacing outdated attractions. However, it doesnât matter if the new attractions are phenomenal, there will always be blowback from fans of the classics. Disneyland has had its own share of these mishaps (looking at you Carousel of Progress and Peoplemover in Tomorrowland), but as of the last decade-plus, the theme of Disneyland has clearly been expansion, not replacement, as made evident by DisneylandForward. Oh, Great Movie Ride, how we miss you⊠Disneyland also naturally has far fewer mishaps because it has far fewer space to play with than Disney World. Disney World is a premier tourist destination, and while Disneyland is also in its own right, it doesnât hold a candle to Disney Worldâs yearly attendance. As a response, Disney World is constantly trying to innovate and keep up with demand. Attention and money must be allocated all over the expansive resort, while Disneylandâs restricted space means every change has to be done delicately and infrequently. Absolutely everything will be under a microscope, so better not disappoint. Pixar Fest banners Disneyland has also failed in the right areas. Disney California Adventure could always use more TLC ever since it opened in 2001. Itâs offerings have improved over the years, but change is consistently welcomed there. However, the change from Bugs Land to Avengers Campus has had a lukewarm reception (fans are still clamoring for that E-ticket, Avengers attraction), and the change to Pixar Pier has many Disney Adults wondering if Disney California Adventure will continue moving away from its loved California-theme, but neither of these can be considered true failures. Disneyland seems most inclined to take its biggest risks at the park where missing your mark will be received better. Like we said before, the calculated risks are just better at Disneyland. Avengers Campus So why do Disney Adults complain less about Disneylandâs changes as opposed to the changes at Disney Worldâs Parks? Thatâs up to you to decide. The reception certainly seems to favor Disneylandâs direction and changes, but itâs important to remember that comparing the Disneyland Resort to Disney World can be like comparing apples to oranges. Disney World has to operate differently than Disneyland as it offers A TON of stuff that you canât get at Disneyland while catering to MUCH larger crowds. It really is a totally different experience â that will always come with different expectations.

Frontierland Itâs no secret that if youâre looking to save a buck or two at the Disney Parks, quick service is the way to go. These restaurants sacrifice comfort and luxury dining for quick and cheap meals that are perfect if youâre on the go. Fortunately, Disneyland has a ton of very good quick service options, including an incredibly underrated one over at Frontierland in Disneyland Park! We recently visited Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante in Disneyland to see if it still holds up as one of the best Disneyland restaurants and we have plenty of thoughts. Letâs dive in! ATMOSPHERE Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante is found near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Frontierland and is open for daily lunch and dinner service. Rancho del Zocalo This Mexican restaurant features plenty of Spanish/Mexican influence with colorful painted tiles, fountains, adobe archways, and hanging plants. It also has an abundance of shade with both indoor and covered outdoor seating. It can get pretty busy but on most days you should be able to find seating. Rancho del Zocalo outdoor seating The interior features a couple of quick-service counters where you can order meals and desserts. Service area of Rancho del Zocalo Behind the ordering stations is a beverage station where youâll find plenty of options. Self-Serve Beverage Area All in all, Rancho del Zocalo is a quaint oasis in Disneyland that offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of Disneyland. The literal English translation of Rancho del Zocalo is âRanch of the Squareâ and this restaurant definitely gives off town square vibes.Be there or be square! But how is the food? Letâs take a look! MENU As you would expect, this Mexican Restaurant serves â you guessed it â Mexican cuisine! Disney bills the food at Rancho del Zocalo as âAuthentic Mexicanâ, and while we slightly disagree, it still has a ton of classic Mexican fare you can find all over the United States in addition to seasonal agua frescas. This restaurant also serves bean and cheese burritos and chicken tacos for kids. ©Disney The big thing here is the price. If youâre on a budget, this quick-service restaurant should be one of your go-to spots. The pricing is very fair for all the food you get with each order. But how does the food taste? We have plenty of thoughts! EATS For our review, we tried the Cheese Enchiladas with Red Sauces, Trio of Street Tacos, Cucumber-mint Agua Fresca, and Cinnamon Crisps. Everything we tried at Rancho del Zocalo We started out with the Cheese Enchiladas with Red Sauce and were immediately blown away. This meal comes with three cheese enchiladas with red sauce and served with Mexican rice and refried beans for $12.99. Cheese Enchiladas with Red Sauce The enchiladas were nice and moist with a bit of a kick from the sauce. The cheese was packed with flavor and our tortillas were the perfect level of thickness to hold it all together. We also found the enchiladas to be well-seasoned and a great recommendation for vegetarians. The side of beans also had a surprising amount of seasoning, but the texture was thick and the aftertaste was kind of smoky. While we werenât huge fans of the beans, the rice was more of a winner. It had some kick and was a nice complimentary piece to the enchiladas. Overall, the price is more than fair and if you donât mind spicy food, give this a try! Cheesy goodness! Up next is the Trio of Street Tacos for $13.99. These are served with beef, chicken, and cauliflower alongside Mexican rice and refried beans. Trio of Street Tacos Al tacos were double-layered, which was greatly appreciated. The cauliflower taco had a nice earthy flavor with a spicy aftertaste and the cilantro and onions provided a crispy tanginess to create an earthy and sweet blend. Cauliflower Taco The beef taco had way more flavor than we were expecting. Moist with some sweetness, the beefy flavor cuts through the salsa unlike with the cauliflower taco (which was a little too spicy), making the protein the star of the show. This was our favorite taco of the three. Beef Taco Finally, the chicken taco was the simplest of the three. The cilantro mixed best with this taco and it wasnât as spicy as the other two, but it still had a subtle kick. The chicken was also seasoned nicely and, while simple, got the job done. Chicken Taco A word of warning, generally the salsa on these tacos was pretty hot, even for us. So if you donât like the heat, avoid this one in the Rancho del Zocalo kitchen. Otherwise, we thought the price was pretty fair and the food was solid. Not as good as local Southern California tacos or the enchiladas, but pretty good overall. But how was the dessert? We tried the Cinnamon Crisps for $4.49 and WOW, these were definitely a highlight! Cinnamon Crisps We arenât joking when we say these had the perfect texture, fantastic crunch, a liberal amount of cinnamon, were sit-down restaurant quality, and were incredibly addicting. You get a ton of chips for the price and we wouldâve easily gone back for more. We LOVED this and canât recommend them enough! You get PLENTY of crisps! Finally, we have to talk about our drink â the seasonal Cucumber-mint Agua Fresca! This drink is made with cucumber agua with a hint of mint for $6.99. Cucumber-mint Agua Fresca The mint in this drink was super light and it tasted mostly of cucumber, especially with the small bits in it. Still, the mint came through enough and blended well with the cucumber to create a very refreshing, cucumber-mint julep-like beverage that hit the spot on a hot day. If you donât like cucumber, you probably wonât like this, but overall we think it was a very pleasant and aromatic drink! Refreshing! So did Rancho del Zocalo meet our expectations in this most recent review? OVERALL Overall, the answer to that question is a resounding YES! Aside from the fact that the food is very tasty, the pricing of everything was beyond fair and those enchiladas were outstanding! Rancho del Zocalo painted mural While we think the meals can get a bit spicy, if that doesnât put you off, there are a lot of great flavors to enjoy here as well as snacks and drinks that are great if youâre looking to bring something with you on your journey through the park! NOSH OR NOT? Ride on down to Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante if⊠* Youâre on a budget. Rancho del Zocaloâs prices are fair and the portions are filling. Itâs tough to find better deals anywhere at the Disneyland Resort. If you have a Magic Key Pass, those prices get even lower. * You want a good meal without making reservations. Ample seating and its tucked-away nature make Rancho del Zocalo a not-so-hidden gem of Disneyland. Itâs usually easy to get a meal and dine here, but there is also some seating nearby if you experience a rare occasion where seating is hard to find. * Youâre craving Mexican cuisine. Rancho del Zocalo may not be the best restaurant in Disneyland, but it goes toe-to-toe with the best quick-service options the park has to offer. We found the food here to be very tasty and it fits in with the land theming and Southern California vibes quite well! Hitch your horse to another restaurant if⊠* You canât handle any spice. The menuâs offerings are pretty spicy by Disney standards and if you or anyone in your party canât handle even the smallest amount of heat, you may want to pass on dining here. You can get the meals without sauce and salsa and youâll find the Golden Horseshoe â which serves affordable standard American fare â just a few steps, but if you want to ere on the side of caution, it might be wise to give this place a pass. * You want an unforgettable experience. Rancho del Zocalo is great, but it doesnât hold up to the quality and theming of a place like the Blue Bayou in New Orleans Square. Also, while the theming is nice, seating is mostly outside and not specifically Disney-themed. If you want each Disneyland dining experience to be memorable and are willing to spend a bit more, Rancho del Zocalo probably shouldnât be at the top of your list. * You have no appetite. Despite being a quick-service restaurant, Rancho del Zocalo doesnât skimp on portion size. While you probably wonât be served enough to share plates, youâll probably still feel full and satisfied at the end of the meal. Food carts and other quick-service locations may give you the smaller amount of food youâre looking for, although the pricing might not be as nice, ironically.

Disneyland When Walt Disney said that Disneyland would never be completed, he was probably alluding to upgrades and land expansions â an influx of creativity. However, itâs unlikely he anticipated tons of entertainment leaving Disneyland, with nothing anticipated to take its place. In fact, this exodus of entertainment could be getting worse VERY SOON. Over the last year, Disneyland has cut back on its live entertainment offerings. After checking out the Disneyland entertainment calendar, we have a suspicion that the dropoff could get worse. June 29th, 2024 ©Disney According to Disneylandâs entertainment calendar, guests visiting Disneyland should expect a massive entertainment disappearance between June 29th and June 30th. June 30, 2024 ©Disney Weâve already seen this trend at Disney California Adventureâs Hyperion Theater. âAladdin: A Musical Spectacular,â âFrozen â Live at the Hyperion,â and the Captain America show âRogers: The Musicalâ all had their runs ended and now the theater isnât showing anything. Rogers The Musical at the Hyperion Theater Another red flag came in the form of the announcement that the live dancers and DJ were being removed from the Club Pixar area of California Adventure. Club Pixar is a limited-time offering for Pixar Fest, so the entertainment was always going to be removed eventually, but Disney attributed the change to âguest feedback and operational considerations.â Club Pixar Stage The entertainment issue got even worse at California Adventure recently with the surprising cancelation of âDr. Strange: Mysteries of Mystic Artsâ in Avengers Campus. That show is currently slated to end in just a couple of days on June 30th. While Dr. Strange is still set to make appearances at Avengers Campus, not much is known about what will replace the empty space of the Ancient Sanctum, which hosted the show multiple times a day. Ancient Sanctum The surprising entertainment removal of late has come on the heels of the approval of the unionization of Disneyland character performers on May 18th, 2024. Per Actorsâ Equity Association President Kate Shindle, âThe next step will be to collaborate with them about improving health & safety, wages, benefits, working conditions and job security.â Iron Man Speculation has arisen as to whether the unionization led to the cancellation of these shows, but, predictably, Disney has denied these claims. Itâs also possible that shows like âDoctor Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Artsâ could potentially return after union negotiations are complete, but right now Disneyland representatives havenât announced replacement plans. However, all is not gone. The Avengers Campus show âWarriors of Wakanda: The Disciplines of the Dora Milajeâ may be missing on June 30th, but it is scheduled to return shortly after. Warriors of Wakanda: The Disciplines of the Dora Milaje Weâll keep you posted on any future Disneyland entertainment updates as well as all the latest Disneyland news, so be sure to stay tuned right here at DFB to stay in the know!

We donât often recommend overpaying for Disney snacks â especially if theyâre just mediocre. But when it comes to coffee â all bets are off. We need a hit of caffeine to get us going in the morning, and if that means heading down to the hotel lobby for a cup of coffee, we are willing to spend $6 to $7 for a cup of cold brew. Anyone else? Lavender Latte, anyone? Sure, you can brew your own coffee in your Disney hotel room, but nothing compares to the stuff you can get at a cafe. And for a while, one Disney coffee shop has been closed, and weâve been waiting for it to open! But finally, the time has come. A handy little coffee spot is BACK!  Disney confirmed that The Coffee House is BACK! The Coffee House is open now at Disneyland Hotel, and itâs got a new menu featuring specialty coffees and an assortment of small bites and grab-and-go items. The Coffee House According to the Disney website, the cafe will be open from 6AM to 4PM. ©Disney The menu features plenty of classic coffee shop staples, like breakfast sandwiches and assorted pastries. ©Disney We spotted a Breakfast Biscuit Sandwich with Egg and Cheese on the breakfast menu for $8 and a Bagel Pizza with Cheese on the snack menu for $8. Weâll be honest. That pizza bagel looks like something weâd make at home, and for $8, weâre a little reluctant to spend the money. ©Disney There are some bigger snacks available, too, like the Italian Ciabatta Sandwich with salami, mortadella, bresaola, arugula, provolone and olive tapenade on a ciabatta roll. The Italian Ciabatta Sandwich is $15. Meanwhile, thereâs also a Caprese & Prosciutto Sandwich for $18, and a Roasted Turkey Sandwich with roasted turkey, basil mayo, piquillo peppers, and arugula on focaccia bread for $13. ©Disney We noticed plenty of sweet treats and desserts, too! This Chocolate Cake is $10. ©Disney Now, we have to talk about one more menu item that caught our eye. If youâre willing to spend $36, you can get a large Artisanal Cheese and Charcuterie Board with assorted artisanal cheeses and premium deli meats with traditional accompaniments. ©Disney This place has all kinds of fun surprises! Sure, you might go in expecting to grab a quick cup of coffee, but we wouldnât blame you for being tempted by the alluring call of a charcuterie board. If you stop by, let us know what you think! Some of the snacks seem a tad overpriced, but hey, itâs Disneyland. In the meantime, weâre always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.

Downtown Disney We headed over to Disneyland Resortâs Downtown Disney District to try its newest restaurant offering â Din Tai Fung! This award-winning, family-owned restaurant is known for its dumplings and already has several locations in California. Now, itâs available at Disneyland! Din Tai Fung can be found in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, as well as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Europe, and Thailand. The Disneyland location is set to OFFICIALLY open on July 1st, 2024, but we were able to attend its soft opening just this week â letâs check it out! Din Tai Fung ATMOSPHERE Din Tai Fung immediately sets itself apart from many other Disneyland and Downtown Disney restaurants with a more luxurious theming. This restaurant caters to both park-goers AND those looking for more upscale dining. According to Disneyâs official description, the restaurant stands out with its âdramatic and contemporary take on a traditional Chinese pavilion rooftop structure.â Din Tai Fung Once inside, youâll immediately see a âsuspended, beaded installation over the circular central barâ as well as âtraditional-style Chinese pendants softly illuminating the space.â An expo kitchen allows diners to watch dumplings being made, firsthand. Pretty snazzy! The restaurant features different dining areas with spacious tables to really give off the feeling of ample space, and the open concept mixed with a bounty of large windows really helps illuminate the restaurant and create a welcoming environment. ©Din Tai Fung Overall, mixed with some contemporary SoCal music and incredibly helpful and friendly service (shoutout to our servers, Marc and Daniel!), this restaurant doesnât feel too posh but instead felt incredibly welcoming. It fits the theme of Disney hospitality flawlessly. MENU Most Din Tai Fung locations serve various soups, different flavors of dumplings and buns, wontons, noodles, fried rice, and dessert dumplings filled with chocolate, red bean paste, or sweet taro. Menu The restaurant is famous for its Xiao Long Bao (steamed pork soup dumplings), and these are heavily recommended by the waitstaff. As for the menu in general, the pricing is surprisingly fair for the quality. Most items range from $10 to $20 and can be shared. How to eat xiao long bao! Part of the fun of this menu is picking a plethora of items via a Dim Sum menu and having them brought out in waves. The portion sizes allow these to be great meals to be shared amongst a party and we think this menu caters better to larger groups than solo diners, although youâll likely still be satisfied if you eat alone. Dim Sum menu With tons of promise and good word of mouth, we couldnât wait to dive in! EATS We tried the Cucumber Salad, Sweet & Sour Baby Back Ribs, Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao, Shrimp and Pork Spicy Wontons, Noodles in Sesame Sauce, Chocolate and Mochi Xiao Long Bao, Kurobuta Pork Buns, Chicken Dumplings, Honey Lemonade with Boba, and Cucumber Gimlet. Itâs safe to say we were stuffed! Din Tai Fung spread First up, we have the Cucumber Salad for $9. This appetizer is gluten-free and vegan and is made with crisp Persian cucumbers combined with cuts of mild Fresno chili peppers and sliced garlic all tossed together with sesame and Din Tai Fung chili oils. Cucumber Salad This cucumber salad was very refreshing! The portion size was surprisingly hefty and the cucumber cuts were thick. There was a little bit of a kick from the sauce, but, all in all, it was super flavorful and never overpowering. We also found the peanut flavor created a nice blend among the cucumber, which is a theme that will pop up again and again. Refreshing! The Sweet & Sour Baby Back Ribs cost $16.50 and are coated with house-made sweet and sour sauce. Sweet & Sour Baby Back Ribs Our ribs were cooked perfectly and definitely had that sweet and sour flavor. The pork was rich and the serving size was plentiful. The ribs were lighter in taste than we expected, avoiding in-your-face flavors and opting for something lighter. Still, we recommend you have a craving for sweet and sour pork, otherwise these might put you off. Very good serving size Next, we tried the Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao for $18.50. These carefully crafted Long Bao are stuffed with Kurobuta pork marinated in a blend of seasonings and paired with fresh ginger and green onion. Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao These Long Bao are meant to be paired with the provided condiments, and we totally understand â theyâre just okay on their own. Our dumplings didnât have a ton of broth, which was unfortunate. Still, the bao was light, tasty, and the pork and vegetable mix was quite nice and filling. Once again the portion size is more than fair and we think this is a great sharable dish. We wouldâve liked a bit more broth The Shrimp and Pork Spicy Wontons cost $17 and are made with freshly-peeled shrimp and Kurobuta pork served with the signature house spicy sauce and topped with garlic and green onion. Wontons These wontons were spicy but came as more of an after-kick instead of overpowering upon first bite. We think they were really tasty, with a super fragrant sauce and a seamless protein blend. The shrimp was delicious especially, and the wontons were light and fluffy, packed with tons of protein. These guys really are spicy though, so a word of caution. Shrimp and Pork Spicy Wontons The Noodles in Sesame Sauce cost $13 and include house-made thin egg noodles coated in a nutty sesame sauce and topped with chili oil and crushed roasted peanuts. Noodles in Sesame Sauce If you donât like spicy food, you probably wonât like these noodles. However, the peanut flavor was so earthy and excellent â easily our favorite part of the dish. The noodles were packed with flavor, thick, and very shareable. Peanuts were the star here The Kurobuta Pork Buns cost $10 and are served in two pieces. Kurobuta Pork Buns We think these buns are a must-order! The meat was cooked perfectly, the bun was soft and almost a little sweet, and these were some of our favorites from our meal. YUM! Next, we tried the Chicken Dumplings for $18. One order gives you 10 dumplings. Chicken Dumplings These dumplings are hand-folded and filled with premium chicken and sweet onions. Super juicy (but not slimy) with a great texture, we found these dumplings to have a good portion of chicken inside that was packed with flavor. One of our favs! To drink, we tried the non-alcoholic Honey Lemonade with Boba. The drink without boba costs $7.50 and boba costs $1.50. The lemonade is made to order with crushed ice, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a drizzle of honey. The boba consists of chewy tapioca pearls mixed with brown sugar and honey. The boba was very thick and chewy while the lemonade was refreshingly tart and sweet! Honey Lemonade with Boba We also tried the Cucumber Gimlet for $16. This drink is made with Roku Gin, St. Germain, fresh lime juice, fresh cucumber, and mint. Our Cucumber Gimlet was delicious! Very cucumbery, light, refreshing, and just enough kick from the gin, we can see this as a popular summer drink. The mint really added to the cucumber, creating something akin to a Disney julep. The drink was very natural in flavor and is a must-try if you love cucumber drinks! Cucumber Gimlet For dessert, we tried the Chocolate and Mochi Xiao Long Bao per recommendation from our server. This chocolate dessert costs $11.50 and comes with five pieces. Itâs made with premium chocolate truffle inside a thin layer of mochi, all wrapped in 18 folds. Chocolate and Mochi Xiao Long Bao Shoutout again to Marc for recommending these â itâs nearly impossible to describe just how good this dessert is, but weâll try! Each bite contains a delicious lava flow of amazingly decadent chocolate. They are small in stature, but they pack a powerful punch. The chocolate never tasted too rich, but the quality was extraordinary â almost like delicious chocolate fondue. Creamy, warm, and absolutely delicious, this dessert is a must-try. This is already some of the best chocolate youâll find at the Disneyland Resort and we WILL return to Din Tai Fung for these, on top of many other dishes! Thanks, Iâll take 100 Itâs safe to say we enjoyed our meal at Din Tai Fung, so letâs get into our overall thoughts OVERALL The Disneyland location for Din Tai Fung meets the quality standard that it has accumulated around the globe. Upscale but not pretentious and a fantastic Dim Sum restaurant, weâll keep coming back for more, hands down. Din Tai Fung The waitstaff was super kind, knowledgeable, and on it, and the dining experience is unique at Disneyland. While it can get kind of loud and may not be the most budget-friendly dining option, Din Tai Fung is worth visiting at least once at Downtown Disney! NOSH OR NOT? Take a stroll down Downtown Disney to Din Tai Fung if⊠* You want great dumplings. Aside from festivals, youâre not going to get this kind of food consistently in the parks. * You want a unique sit-down experience. This isnât typical American fare and can take you out of the theme park experience and put you into a fine dining setting. * You have an appetite and are willing to share. Din Tai Fung provides a menu ideal for sharing. If you want to try a bunch of different dishes in one meal, this is the place for you. Skip Din Tai Fung if⊠* You visit another location regularly. Din Tai Fung is not exclusive to Disneyland, so if youâre looking for something truly unique, try a Disneyland-exclusive restaurant like the Blue Bayou. * Youâre in a hurry. Dining at most sit-down restaurants at the Disneyland Resort will take a chunk out of your day. Also, being located in Downtown Disney, you canât just hop on a ride immediately after your meal. Fortunately, Disneyland has plenty of other options that will save you time. * Youâre on a budget. Din Tai Fungâs prices are reasonable, but itâs easy to rack up a bill fast if you keep ordering items to share. Itâs definitely possible to eat here without breaking the bank, but you need to be price-conscious while ordering. Din Tai Fung Thanks for coming along for our Din Tai Fung review!

Blue Bayou The correct answer is no! But seriously though, Disneyland food is just a step above the rest and weâve had some of our favorite treats and eats there. Speaking of eats, we thought weâd head back and check in with one of our favorite spots and see how itâs fairing these days. Letâs grab a bite to eat at Blue Bayou! If youâve even been hungry in Disneyland and looked for food that isnât just the typical corn dogs and pretzels, youâve probably thought about grabbing a bite at the Blue Bayou Restaurant. Blue Bayou Youâll find this restaurant tucked into a corner of Disneylandâs New Orleans Square and it offers Cajun and Creole-inspired cuisine. We love this restaurant and it had been far too long since our last visit, so we knew we had to come in and enjoy some of their eats. ATMOSPHERE Guess what? When you dine at Blue Bayou, you get to dine on the shore of a New Orleans bayou! Thatâs right! Also, itâs not just any bayou. Itâs actually one where you can watch boats from Pirates of the Caribbean passing by while you fight your food coma from all the delicious Cajun and Creole foods. Blue Bayou The vibes are excellent. It totally has dark, moody lighting that 100% transports you to a New Orleans swamp at night. Truly a blue bayou! Youâll find that youâre eating in a courtyard. There are wrought-iron chairs and hanging paper lanterns overhead. Seating Pro-tip: If you want the âbestâ views while you eat, make sure to request a table by the water when you check in. (Itâs not guaranteed that they can accommodate, but it doesnât hurt to ask.) You can get great views of Pirates of the Caribbean Now that you can feel the atmosphere, letâs have a look at the menu. MENU As we said, there is an entire world of Cajun and Creole-inspired dishes on this menu for you to enjoy. For starters, some of the standouts are the Chicken Gumbo and the Heirloom Tomato & Watermelon Salad. Blue Bayou menu Youâll definitely find filling entrĂ©es here like a Blackened Ribeye, Oscar-style Filet Mignon, Sustainable Market Fish, Creole Roasted Chicken, and a Pistachio Lemon-Basil Pasta. Also, youâll find a decent selection of wine, cocktails, beer, and a few non-alcoholic drinks as well. Youâll find plenty of hearty eats as well as cocktails For dessert, you can choose from a CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e Tart, Chocolate Basque Cheesecake, Petite Sundae, and Assorted Macarons. Dessert menu The kids menu at Blue Bayou is pretty straightforward (really not too much to write home about) but sometimes you canât beat a simple menu for the kiddos. Kids Menu Alright, enough reading about food. Itâs time to eat! EATS Ultimately, we decided to try the Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon Salad as our starter, the Pistachio Lemon-Basil Pasta as our entrĂ©e, and the CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e Tart as our dessert. Letâs start with the Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon Salad which is made with Greens, Agave Crema, and Pickled Watermelon Rind & Shallot Vinaigrette and will set you back by $15. Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon Salad What we liked most about this was how light and refreshing it was. Everything tasted really fresh especially the tomatoes and greens. The tomatoes were juicy, sweet, and full of flavor. The shallot vinaigrette wasnât the most special (it just added a tangy and vinegary taste). Refreshing! Also, the watermelon didnât have a whole lot of flavor and there wasnât much of it in the salad either. Next, we set our eyes on the Pistachio Lemon-Basil Pasta, which is made with Asparagus, Squash Blossoms, Pea Tendrils, and Cherry Tomatoes in Pistachio-Basil Pesto and will cost you $29. Pistachio Lemon-Basil Pasta This dish was simple and tasty. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had hints of basil and light lemon flavor throughout. It was also a generous portion of pasta. This was a surprising winner! The pistachio flavor wasnât the strongest. You could really only taste it if you happened to get a bite that had some of the chopped-up pistachio that was put on top. The cherry tomatoes added a refreshing and sweet flavor to the pasta. Oh how we wish there were more of them! Last but not least, we had to entertain our sweet tooth with a CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e Tart which was Vanilla Bean CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e in a Tart Shell and itâll run you $10. CrĂšme BrĂ»lĂ©e Tart The berries were sweet and fresh which went well with the rich vanilla bean flavor. The top did have a caramel and burnt sugar taste. The tart shell tasted like shortbread and had a crumbly shortbread texture. DELICIOUS! We seriously wished the portion was larger because it was delicious and at $10 we felt a little slighted. OVERALL Overall, we loved our time here. Our server was great (very personable, quick, and helpful). All of our food came out quickly and it was all fresh and well prepared. Blue Bayou is truly unique The restaurantâs location and ambiance are some of the best on the property. Itâs definitely one of the pricier options at Disneyland, but for the experience and food quality, itâs worth doing at least once. NOSH OR NOT? Stop by Blue Bayou if⊠* You want to get away from the crowds and have a nice and relaxing meal. * Celebrating a special occasion and wanting your meal in one of the best-themed restaurants. * Youâre a Pirates of the Caribbean fan since the boats travel right through the restaurant (also itâs one of the last projects Walt worked on) Youâll probably want to find another place to dine if⊠* Youâre looking to dine on a tighter budget. * You want a quick meal. * You have little kids and want to take them somewhere with a more substantial kidsâ menu. Weâre always looking for all the latest menu changes and additions to restaurants around Disneyland so we can keep you updated. Until then, stay tuned with us at Disney Food Blog for even more!

Tickets went on sale for some Magic Key holders today (June 25th), but getting them was not a smooth process! Several dates SOLD OUT incredibly quickly. Ticket sales for the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash are staggered, with Inspire Magic Key holders having access to tickets on June 25th, other Magic Key holders on June 26th, and finally the general public on June 27th. In theory, that should have made the ticket-buying practice easy. In reality, it was a bit of a roller coaster. We logged on right on time on June 25thâŠonly to encounter Disneyâs system apparently running late. When we finally got in, we were given an estimated wait time queue. Pretty standard so far. However, it was once that ended that things began to get wonky. The waiting is the hardest part⊠Tickets for certain party nights were selling out very quickly, with October 13th being the first to show as sold out. Meanwhile, we were trying for opening night â August 25th â which was still showing tickets available but wasnât allowing us to select them. After securing tickets for August 27th, we decided to experiment a bit and refresh the page. Now, August 25th, as well as September 15th, 22nd, 6th, and 12th were registering as sold out. The status of dates was fluctuating with every refresh However, after ANOTHER refresh, Sept 15th and 22nd were once again showing tickets available, but now September 29th, Oct 3rd, 6th, 10th, 13th, and 17th were all showing as sold out. Ooogie Boogie Dates The moral of the story? If youâre trying for Oogie Boogie Bash tickets, keep refreshing as there definitely seem to be some bugs in Disneyâs system. Hereâs to hoping theyâre worked out before the next two sales over the next few days. Itâs possible that Disney has reserved just a certain portion of all available tickets for the first night (and other nights) for Magic Key holders, so the general public will still have a chance to buy tickets for those dates when they go on sale on June 27th. Weâll be watching for more updates over the next couple of days! Stay tuned to DFB for further Oogie Boogie coverage. HEADS UP! WE ARE WEEKS AWAY FROM DISNEYâS BIGGEST. NEWS. EVER.

And to celebrate, weâve dug up a batch of fascinating historical photos that may just make you yell â Yodel-Lay-Hee-Hoo! WALT TO IMAGINEERS: âBUILD THISâ The idea for the iconic Matterhorn Bobsleds really started during a 1950s trip to Switzerland.  As many of you know, Walt and his wife Lillian enjoyed Switzerland, as you can see in the above classic photo from the Walt Disney Family Museum. Walt fell in love with the countryâs breathtaking landscape, especially the Matterhorn mountain â known as the âjewel of the Swiss Alps.â In 1958, when Walt was in Switzerland, the giant, jagged tooth-shaped Matterhorn mountain â as well as the Disney film, âThird Man of the Mountainâ (being filmed at the Matterhorn) â delivered a flash of inspiration. During the trip, the often-recalled story goes that Walt sent a postcard back home to his Disney Imagineers featuring a picture of the mountain and the words âBUILD THISâ on the back. Plans to bring this mountain to California began after Waltâs Switzerland trip â as you can see above in this vintage photo of Walt with a model of the attraction.  While Matterhorn mountain towers over all that surrounds it in Switzerland at nearly 14,700 feet, it was determined that the Disneyland version would be built to roughly 1/100th scale, or 147 feet.  Initially, Walt asked his designers to consider transforming Holiday Hill (a small mound between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland) into Snow Hill, which would feature real snow. As the project grew, Snow Hill became the proposed Snow Mountain, and then eventually â Matterhorn mountain. MATTERHORN BOBSLEDS ATTRACTION MAKES HISTORY At opening on June 14, 1959, the world had never seen anything like the Matterhorn Bobsleds. The Disneyland attraction was the first roller coaster in the world to use a tubular steel track and a unique electronic dispatch system that allowed more than one car at a time to be on the track. It was an immediate game-changer and set the standard for modern-day roller coasters. The attraction was part of the first major expansion at Disneyland since the parkâs debut in 1955.  During the design and construction, Walt and Disney Imagineers wanted guests to be able to enjoy the view of the Matterhorn, similar to how someone would view it in Switzerland, so a unique station with a view was created where you wait to board the bobsleds. For the attraction, Imagineers also created a picturesque tower, inspired by a famous clock tower near Switzerlandâs Matterhorn mountain. Besides the mountain itself, the clock tower is likely the most famous sight in the area, and it added a familiar scene of Switzerlandâs famed chalets to Disneyland. In this photo of the attraction from the archives, youâll notice shields representing the cantons, or states, in Switzerland.  The opposite side of the building has fanciful alpine-style cutouts edged in brightly colored paints. The design features colors and motifs found in traditional Swiss embroidery designs. If youâve experienced it, you know you swoop in and out of shadowy caves along jagged rocky ledges, darting through snowy chutes and by frozen precipices before splashing down into an alpine lake.  And there are historical details to see, including mountaineering supplies and collected treasures from the past. Thereâs also a tribute to Frank Wells â the former President and Chief Operating Officer of The Walt Disney Company â to spot while whizzing through the Matterhorn caverns. Of course, thereâs the Abominable Snowman â a fan-favorite since being added to the attraction in 1978. When he received a transformation in 2015, Walt Disney Imagineering wanted to ensure that the mountainâs most famous resident would maintain a realistic look, consulting with an anthropologist.  You can conquer Matterhorn Bobsleds and its mythic monster this summer at Disneyland park. Here are 2024 details on whatâs happening and how you can save on a Disneyland Resort trip from our earlier story. We hope you enjoyed this fun look at the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland. The iconic attraction is truly one-of-a-kind â no other Disney park can claim a Matterhorn mountain!  As we continue to dig into our archives for even more of these types of stories in the future, let us know what youâd like to see next.

However, it was the reason that inspired them to pack their bags and visit every Disney Park around the worldâŠin 24 days. Donald, a workforce data solutions analyst, met Nika, an Adventureland cast member, three years ago. After saying, âI doâ on April 6, 2024, Donald and Nika set off to make their dream honeymoon come true. Donald and Nika cruise up to the Disneyland Hotel in style after their wedding reception on April 6. One wedding, three continents, and 24 days was what it took for Donald and Nika to visit every Disney Park around the world for the ultimate Disney experience. Between complimentary admission to nearly every Disney Park and numerous discounts along the way, the couple says their Disney cast member perks encouraged them to celebrate their honeymoon in such a magical way. Donald and Nika showcasing their gifts from Disneyâs Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons. The global journey began hours after the coupleâs wedding where the newlyweds kicked off their celebration at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. To make their day even more special, Disneyâs Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons stepped in to create some magical moments for the couple. The honeymoon park hopping began the very next morning right in Donald and Nikaâs backyard. The two cast members set out on a mission to ride all the major Disneyland Resort attractions that are also found at other parks around the world. From Space Mountain to Jungle Cruise, Donald and Nika were determined to do it all. Disneyland Ambassadors Jada and Raul congratulate the couple and send them off with a special bon voyage at Sleeping Beauty Castle on April 7. In appreciation of the coupleâs dedication to making magic, Disney Ambassadors of Disneyland Resort Jada Young and Raul Aquino Rojas met with Nika and Donald on the first day of their honeymoon in Disneyland park. The Disney Ambassadors celebrated the couple with a hand delivered note from Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock! Kenâs note congratulated the couple on their big day and wished them safe travels ahead. > View this post on Instagram > > > > > A post shared by Disneyland Cast & Community (@disneylandcastandcommunity) From there, Donald and Nika set off for a jam-packed three weeks, visiting Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Paris and Orlando while soaking up every bit of Disney magic each experience had to offer. Donald and Nika explore a number of Disney Park offerings around the world. From making Winnie the Pooh shaped dim sum in a Disney cooking class in Hong Kong Disneyland, to viewing the âDisney Electrical Sky Paradeâ with over 500 drones at Disneyland Paris, to experiencing the Behind the Seeds tour in the Living with the Land attraction at EPCOT in Walt Disney World, Donald and Nika had the opportunity to make one-of-a-kind memories while truly getting to know cast members in all parts of the globe. The couple was even greeted with a personal note from Walt Disney World Resort President Jeff Vahle in Orlando, congratulating them on their special celebration. âEvery time we saw a cast member, itâs like we met our friends in other places,â explained Donald. âEven if we donât speak the same language or we donât work the same attractions or we donât work at the same parks, everybodyâs coming to Disney for the same thing. Weâre all still cast members.â Donald and Nika smile with the Disney Global Ambassador teams at each Disney Park. To make Donald and Nikaâs celebration extra special, the Disney Global Ambassador team united worldwide to show the couple each Disney Park through the eyes of a fellow cast member. With some Disney Ambassador magic, Donald and Nika experienced all that World of Frozen in Hong Kong has to offer, explored the Castle Club at the Disneyland Hotel in Paris, shared heartfelt conversations with all the Disney Ambassadors and so much more alongside their newest friends. âMeeting [Disney Ambassadors Serena and Shannon] in Orlando was really cool,â said Donald. âWe had a heart-to-heart where we walked down [Main Street, U.S.A.] and talked about careers and the different things we experienced at each park. Theyâre both wonderful people and had lots of kind words for us.â Donald and Nika capture their memories on camera at each Disney Park. With a camera roll full of memories and hearts filled with love, Donald and Nika share that the magic Disney made for them on their honeymoon journey truly made it an extraordinary trip. They assure that this is just the start of a lifetime of dreams come trueâŠtogether. Donald and Nika celebrate the final few hours of their wedding day at the Disneyland Hotel on April 6.

To celebrate, the culinary team from Tianaâs Palace at Disneyland park shared a recipe with us for 7 Greens Gumbo with Chicken & Andouille Sausage. I had the chance to test this unique (and delicious) recipe at home! Roasted vegetables, seasoned chicken, andouille sausage and cannellini beans come together with seven different greens to create a hearty and flavorful dish. If you want the 7 Greens Gumbo to be a plant-based dish, it can easily be served without the chicken and andouille sausage.  All this talk about gumbo is making me hungry, so itâs time to share the recipe with you. Letâs get to it! 7 GREENS GUMBO WITH CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE Tianaâs Palace Disneyland Park Serves 4 ROASTED VEGETABLES * 1 cup diced sweet potatoes * 1 cup diced yams * 1 cup sliced okra * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil * Salt and pepper, to taste CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil * 12 ounces mild andouille sausage, sliced * 1/2 pound boneless chicken thighs, diced * 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning mix  GUMBO * 2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans cannellini beans, divided * 1/4 cup vegetable oil * 1 large onion, chopped * 1 large green bell pepper, chopped * 2 stalks celery, chopped * 2 cloves garlic, sliced * 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning mix * 1 tablespoon gumbo filĂ©Â Â * 1 1/2 teaspoons salt * 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper * 1 bunch collard greens, stems removed and cut into thin strips * 1 bunch mustard greens, stems removed and cut into thin strips * 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and cut into thin strips * 1 bunch kale, stems removed and cut into thin strips * 1 bunch spinach, cut into thin strips * 2 cups watercress, larger stems removed and cut into thin strips * 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped * 4 cups vegetable stock, divided * 4 cups cooked white rice * Reserved Chicken and Andouille Sausage * Reserved Roasted Vegetables * Hot sauce, to taste FOR ROASTED VEGETABLES: 1. Combine yams, sweet potatoes, okra and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.  2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Roast vegetables for 10-12 minutes, until browned and fully cooked.  3. Keep warm until ready to serve.  FOR CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE: 1. Heat vegetable oil in medium sautĂ© pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, until hot. Add sliced andouille sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes, until browned. Transfer to plate using slotted spoon.  2. Season chicken thighs with Cajun seasoning and add to sautĂ© pan, scraping up any browned bits from the andouille sausage. Cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, until chicken thighs are fully cooked. Transfer to plate using slotted spoon.  3. Keep warm until ready to serve.  FOR GUMBO:  1. PurĂ©e one can of cannellini beans in a blender or food processor; set aside.  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, until hot. Add purĂ©ed beans and cook, stirring continuously for 15 minutes, until tan in color.  3. Add onions and sautĂ© for 6 minutes, until translucent. Add bell pepper and celery and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, Cajun seasoning, gumbo filĂ©, salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.  4. Add 2 cups of vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Slowly add collard greens, mustard greens, Swiss chard and kale, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes. Drain liquid from remaining can of cannellini beans. Add to skillet with remaining 2 cups of vegetable stock, spinach, watercress and parsley. Stir to combine. Add additional salt and pepper, as needed.  5. Ladle into bowls with rice. Top with reserved Chicken and Andouille Sausage and Roasted Vegetables. Add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce, to taste.  Cookâs Note: For a plant-based version of this recipe, omit the chicken and andouille sausage.  Always use caution when handling sharp objects and hot contents. Please supervise children who are helping or nearby. This recipe has been converted from a larger quantity in the restaurant kitchens. The flavor profile may vary from the restaurantâs version. If you like a little extra kick in your gumbo, try a few dashes of Mama Odieâs Hot Sauce; itâs the beeâs knees!  And for a special treat, Dooky Chaseâs Gumbo Base can be used in place of the gumbo filĂ©. If Dooky Chaseâs Restaurant sounds familiar, thatâs because itâs the restaurant that was owned and operated by the legendary chef Leah Chase! Her story was one of the inspirations for the character of Princess Tiana in Walt Disney Animation Studios âThe Princess and the Frog,â and later in the development of the upcoming attraction by Walt Disney Imagineering â Tianaâs Bayou Adventure.  You can find Mama Odieâs Hot Sauce and assorted Dooky Chaseâs Seasonings this summer at Main Street Confectionery and Critter Co-Op when Tianaâs Bayou Adventure opens at Walt Disney World Resort this summer and later this year at Disneyland park. Weâre excited this will be the first time guests can buy Dooky Chaseâs Gumbo Base, Seafood Seasoning, Meat Seasoning and Fried Chicken Seasoning outside of Dooky Chaseâs Restaurant!  If you make this tasty gumbo or enjoy some of these seasonings at home, show us your culinary creations with #DisneyEats.

Din Tai Fung A while back, we learned that the iconic Din Tai Fung restaurant â famous for its soup dumplings â would be opening in this shopping and dining district sometime this year, we just didnât know when. Disney had shared an opening timeline, but now itâs official and we know when youâll be able to try those delicious dumps! Itâs official! Din Tai Fung soft opened with a limited menu at Downtown Disney Anaheim on June 24th, and will officially open with its full menu July 1st â thatâs in just a couple of days! Weâve been keeping up with all the latest updates, and weâre happy to share that youâll be able to enjoy those famous soup dumplings soon. Din Tai Fung Din Tai Fung is famous for soup dumplings, which are âhand-crafted right on sight,â at its current locations in Las Vegas, Costa Mesa, and other places in Southern California, Oregon, and Washington. These are in addition to international locations in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Europe, and Thailand. Current locations feature various soups, many different flavors of dumplings and buns, wontons, noodles, fried rice, and dessert dumplings filled with chocolate, red bean paste, or sweet taro. We got to try the bao! Din Tai Fung originally opened in Taipei, Taiwan. According to the restaurantâs website, Mr. Bing-Yi Yang immigrated to Taiwan and opened a shop selling cooking oil. He named the shop Din Tai Fung. He and his wife sold dumplings in their shop as well, called Xiao Long Bao (steamed pork soup dumplings). These dumplings became so popular that Mr. Yang âphased out his oil businessâ and Din Tai Fung became a full-blown restaurant. Delicious Reservations can be made NOW on Yelp, and Disney has advised that this is a soft opening, which means there might still be some kinks to work out â so be patient with the employees if you decide to visit right after opening! We also got the chance to get a sneak peek of the merchandise that will be released once this spot opens, and you can check it out here. Cute! Weâll be checking Din Tai Fung out and bringing you our full review once it opens.
