When we’re at Disneyland, we love hopping on the Disneyland Railroad and taking a joyride around the park. There are so many amazing sights to see between New Orleans Square, ToonTown, and, of course, Main Street, U.S.A. 

The Disneyland Railroad

But when we rode the Disneyland railroad yesterday, we noticed that one of our favorite scenes looks totally different!

We love the dinosaur scene of the Disneyland Railroad, where you can see Triceratops, T-rexes, and goats exploring the wilderness. But when we rode yesterday, this area was gone!

Dinos!

The scenes have now all been covered by a black tarp, and there are only cardboard cutouts of our favorite animals! It was a pretty disappointing ride compared to what we’re used to. You can watch our ride-through here:

Here at Disney Food Blog, we love Disneyland. The park’s iconic attractions can take you through a small world, soar in space, and tour a haunted mansion. But even the Happiest Place on Earth will experience some ride interruptions!

Haunted Mansion in Disneyland

That’s what happened to Disneyland guests riding the Haunted Mansion on Wednesday, May 27th, when they were forced to self-evacuate the ride by themselves! This interruption to the classic dark ride left guests fending for themselves in a twist that has left former Cast Members shaking their heads in disbelief.

According to the Orange County Register, the Haunted Mansion was evacuated on Wednesday, May 27th, after a small electrical malfunction on the track. Cast Members gave verbal instructions and were deployed to assist guests during the evacuation procedure. Guests were safely evacuated from the attraction, and no injuries were reported, according to Disneyland officials. But social media accounts tell a different story!

The Haunted Mansion in Disneyland

A video posted to Reddit by u/-sharc- showed Haunted Mansion riders squeezing out of their doom buggies and unlatching the clamshell doors on the ride vehicles to free other passengers during the emergency evacuation. “At first, the cast members advised people to remain seated and to wait to be escorted off the ride,” the user wrote on the Disneyland subreddit. “After about 10 minutes, the message changed, stating that the cast members could no longer assist us.”

“We ask that you hop out of your buggy and find the nearest exit,” a Haunted Mansion cast member said over the intercom system inside the attraction. “If you can, there is a latch on the left-hand side that you can press down to open the clamshell.” The video showed Disneyland visitors squeezing past the lap bars on the closed ride vehicles and walking around the Haunted Mansion cemetery set amid moving animatronic figures and props.

Halloween at Disneyland is coming soon! This season comes with rare characters, spooky parades, and free candy – but here at Disney Food Blog, we can’t forget about all of the food!

Haunted Heatwave Pizza

Disney just confirmed some of the Halloween menus are coming back for 2026, and we just got a sneak peek!

The Heatwave Pizza from Alien Pizza Planet is returning this year! This is a pizza with spiced blush sauce topped with mozzarella and pepper jack, Italian sausage, classic and crispy cupped pepperoni, smoked bratwurst, and sliced red Fresno chiles, garnished with basil and hot honey drizzle.

Haunted Heatwave Pizza

This is basically a meat-lover’s pizza with a bit of sweet heat from the hot honey, but it wasn’t as hot as we were expecting. Without paying attention, it’s kind of hard to make out what’s what, as everything just kinda tastes like a spicy sausage or pepperoni from the hot honey and chili flakes. We did enjoy it overall, but just know it won’t knock your socks off!

Haunted Heatwave Pizza

Also returning this year is the Oogie Boogie Lemonade from Smokejumpers Grill. This non-alcoholic drink is made with Green Apple Minute-Maid Lemonade, cherry-flavored popping spheres, and raspberry sauce.

Plus, the Slow Burnin’ Mac & Cheese Cone is coming back to Disney California Adventure at the Cozy Cone Motel 3 – Chili Cone Queso. This is fresh-cooked pasta tossed with a spicy red pepper cheese sauce in a bread cone topped with crushed chile-cheese puffs!

Slow-Burning Mac and Cheese

We think this cauldron is pumpernickel bread, which explains the dark colored dough. But pumpernickel isn’t our jam, so this wasn’t a win for us. Inside this cauldron is macaroni in a spicy red pepper cheese sauce. It’s definitely got a fiery hue. It is, indeed, spicy, which is great if you love heat! The bright red topping is crushed red chile-cheese puffs (which are basically Flamin’ Hot Cheetos!). They add a little textural interest, but there’s just not much of it on there. Gimme more, please! Overall, the Slow Burnin’ Mac and Cheese Cone was just okay, which is a bummer because it had so much potential!

Slow-Burnin’ Mac and Cheese

And for dessert, the Caramel Apple Cheesecake is also coming back to the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe. This is a caramel cheesecake with caramelized apple filling finished with caramel drip, orange and white chocolate mousse, chocolate flakes, and a chocolate bat.

And, over at Paradise Garden Grill, you can grab the Chilaquiles Carnitas Torta with red chilaquiles, refried beans, avocado spread, queso fresco, pickled red onions, and a fried egg served with chips.

When we’re at Disneyland, the Disneyland app is a lifesaver. Where else can you check ride wait times, mobile order food, and find the bathrooms all in one place?

©Disney

While using our Disneyland app recently, we noticed a brand-new addition. Now, you can view guides to the lands in the park!

When we were recently using the Disneyland app, we were able to view a land and see new guides for each land! ToonTown was the first land that came up, so we could see an overview of the land and a little bit about it.

©Disney

There was also a list of ride wait times and height requirements for every ride in the land. We’re pretty sure this is just in testing since not all of us had the feature on our apps, which would explain why the ride times aren’t posted. If it becomes permanent, this would be an awesome feature if it’s your first time at Disneyland with kids!

©Disney

We also found a Dining section! It listed every restaurant in ToonTown and even showed when mobile ordering was available. This will be a lifesaver during a lunch or dinner rush!

©Disney

This new feature isn’t limited to ToonTown; you can also see a guide for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! Like ToonTown, there’s a full list of attractions and dining information. But we noticed something new in here – you can see the locations of all the shops in the land!

©Disney

Plus, there’s also a tab for Iconic Characters. With one click, you can see the next time for every Galaxy’s Edge character! No more switching between tabs or manually searching for them.

©Disney

We loved using these guides in our app, and we hope Disney makes it a permanent feature. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news!

We loooove mobile ordering at Disneyland. You can order your food on the go, skip the line, and have hot and ready food in just a few minutes!

Haunted Heatwave Pizza

But the Disneyland app just underwent a major change — mobile ordering looks totally different for one of our favorite Disneyland restaurants!

When we went to mobile order our favorite Disneyland pizza from Alien Pizza Planet, we found that the restaurant no longer offered the traditional Mobile Ordering! After some investigating, it turns out that mobile ordering is still offered at Alien Pizza Planet, but it’s now on a separate page in the app.

Alien Pizza Planet

To mobile order at Alien Pizza Planet now, search for “Alien Pizza Planet Express” in the app. However, this doesn’t offer the full menu. Alien Pizza Planet Express only offers 16-inch pizzas and family-style meals! Currently, mobile ordering only includes six items:

• Whole Cheese Pizza
• Whole Pepperoni Pizza
• Whole Cheese Pizza Family Combo
• Whole Pepperoni Pizza Family Combo
• Artisanal Style Cheese Pizza with Magic Key Thermal Tumbler (Magic Key Holder Exclusive)
• Artisanal Style Pepperoni Pizza with Magic Key Thermal Tumbler  (Magic Key Holder Exclusive)

Alien Pizza Planet

Mobile ordering is no longer available for the full menu. This includes everything – entrees like pizza slices and pasta, sides like salad and breadsticks, kids’ meals, and desserts. If it’s not a family-style meal, it’s not available for mobile ordering! Luckily, the full Alien Pizza Planet menu is still available with regular, in-person ordering.

Haunted Heatwave Pizza from Alien Pizza Planet

It also includes their seasonal offerings of souvenir cups, sippers, straws, and popcorn buckets. Since the Magic Key Holder-exclusive meals are available for mobile ordering, we wouldn’t be surprised if more Magic Key Holder-exclusive merch is available for mobile ordering in the future, but Disney hasn’t confirmed it. These are still available for mobile ordering at other locations in the park, but if you’re hoping to get them all in one place, you’ll have to wait in line.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on both coasts will have a massive transformation when The Mandalorian and Grogu move into Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run on May 22nd.

There will be new plotlines, new food, but most importantly, new merch – including this new Droid popcorn bucket!

This BDX Droid Bucket will be available at both Disney World and Disneyland. There will be a limit of two Droid Buckets per person, per transaction, while supplies last. The Droid Buckets will come to Walt Disney World Resort soon at the following locations in Hollywood Studios:

• Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo
• ABC Commissary
• Backlot Express
• Fairfax Fare
• Hollywood Hills Amphitheatre Refreshments near Fantasmic!
• Popcorn Cart near the Main Entrance

Docking Bay 7 at Hollywood Studios

On the West Coast, the Droid Bucket will be available at Disneyland starting on May 21st at the following locations:

• Galactic Grill’s Seasonal Novelty Release (Available through mobile order from May 21st to 23rd)
• Popcorn Cart in Tomorrowland
• Kat Saka’s Kettle
• Beverage Carts in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Galactic Grill

The BDX Droid Bucket is a replica of the BDX Droids, which will make their film debut in The Mandalorian and Grogu movie, premiering on May 22nd. They’re young, eager, and easily frightened explorer droids. These little guys were originally created by Walt Disney Imagineering as interactive characters for Disneyland and Disney World. They debuted in the parks last July.

BDX DROIDS!

The BDX Droids often walk underneath the Millennium Falcon and beep at guests walking by. They even have names – Aurek (red), Besh (blue), Cresh (green), and Oskar (orange). The Droid Bucket Disney teased is of Besh, but we’re hopeful that all of his BDX friends will have a bucket soon, too!

We’re so excited for all the new changes coming to Galaxy’s Edge soon. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney news!

Are you going to Disneyland this summer? Comment below! 

Disneyland has already seen so many changes this year, from the Galaxy’s Edge characters to the Avengers Campus expansion. But now, even more changes are coming Disneyland’s way!

Disneyland’s Autopia

Autopia is one of the remaining Disneyland opening attractions and has mostly stayed the same over the years. But Autopia will be totally different soon!

Disney is planning to update Autopia with fully electric vehicles! This will retire the gas engines that have powered the Tomorrowland race track since 1955. According to Disney officials, Disneyland has an agreement with the California Air Resources Board to retire the current Autopia gas-powered engines in early 2027. Imagineers are currently working on the design, engineering, and testing of a fully electric Autopia ride vehicle!

Autopia Car

The Walt Disney Company’s new goal of achieving net-zero emissions has begun to roll out in the theme parks, including reducing the parks’ overall carbon footprint. The Disneyland Resort has made a sustainability commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2030, and part of this plan includes relying on cleaner, renewable energy sources.

Josh D’Amaro, CEO of The Walt Disney Company ©Disney

Disney hasn’t announced a closure for Autopia yet, so we’ll likely have plenty of time to smell those nostalgic gas fumes the next few months. Disneyland originally announced plans in 2024 to convert Autopia from gas to electric power by fall 2026, but the project was postponed to early 2027. It’s possible that it could even be postponed again!

Check out our ticket!

The 1955 opening day attraction was redesigned in 1959, 1964, and 1968. An extensive remodeling for the Chevron sponsorship closed Autopia from September 1999 through June 2000. The last major Autopia refurbishment took place in 2016 when Honda took over as the ride’s sponsor, and their 10-year contract with Honda ends this year.

Autopia

We’re so excited to see what these changes to Autopia will look like on the track. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disneyland news!

What do you think of this change? Comment below! 

Disneyland just got a massive upgrade! In case you missed it, the West Coast Galaxy’s Edge is shaking up its timeline to include characters and music from the original trilogy!

It’s Darth Vader!

This comes with a lot of fun changes, but we’re most excited for the characters. We met so many never-before-seen characters from A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and the rest of the Star Wars universe today!

When we walked into the land, we immediately ran into Luke Skywalker and R2D2! They were strolling outside the marketplace, and they were very popular. Expect a wait if you want to talk to them!

Luke and R2D2

Then we headed to the Millennium Falcon. This is where to meet Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca. While we were able to meet Chewie and Leia, Han didn’t make his first appearance until 1:30 PM today.

Leia and Chewbacca!

We went to the back of the land at the former First Order stronghold. This area now takes us back to the Galactic Empire, and we were able to meet the man himself, Darth Vader! He does a similar show to Kylo Ren, where he’ll march out, but the crowd was so much more enthusiastic!

Scary!

We circled back to the Millennium Falcon to find Han and Chewie fixing the ship! At least it looks better than it did yesterday…

Han!

There’s also a brand new soundtrack in the land using John Williams’ brilliant score! Here’s a clip so you can hear it:

What character are you most excited to meet? Comment below! 

Disneyland is changing its Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land this month by turning back the clock and introducing characters from the original trilogy, notably Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo.

©Star Wars

The Star Wars social media accounts have been slowly releasing their never-before-seen Disneyland looks, and when we reposted them, not all fans were satisfied with their new looks.

One of the fans’ first criticisms of Han Solo was his hair. @barberfrankfroese commented on our Instagram, “Why they give him a Prince Charming wig?” @devusername posted “Awesome! But why did you post a video of Flynn Rider to announce it?” James commented, “Flynn Rider cosplaying as Han is a choice.”

©Star Wars

Most people are unanimously agreeing that this wig is giving That 70’s Show, with one comment mentioning Michael Kelso, and another bringing up Fez. Franklin on Facebook commented, “His hair screams fifth member of the Beatles.” While we love Han’s Farrah Fawcett volume, this wig is… something… compared to the original films.

©Disney

Disneyland’s Han Solo is wearing his Empire Strikes Back look, but his vest looks much bluer than in the film. Scott on Facebook commented, “Is he working for Walmart in that blue vest?” while Sara replied, “Blue vest?! Looks like a department store employee.”

©Star Wars

Lots of commenters mentioned Temu, an ultra-affordable dupe store often used in memes to reference cheap quality. Tom on Facebook called him “Temu Solo, captain of the Monthly Sparrow,” while Rich asked, “Is that the Temu version of this pair?” in reference to Han and Chewie together.

©Star Wars

Now that Disneyland has released the full lineup’s outfits, fans are up in arms about the whole cast. When we posted Leia’s new look to our Instagram, @toy_therapy commented, “I’ve seen better cosplayers.” @clocloagogo said that “They told Snow White to put this wig on.” Meanwhile, @tori_rfarmer asked, “Why does this Leia look so cringey?? She’s giving Debby Ryan from Radio Rebel.”

©Disney

If you’d like to meet the characters yourself at Disneyland, the newly revamped area will open on April 29th. In addition to Han and Leia having meet-and-greets, you can also say hello to Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, and Chewbacca in front of the Millennium Falcon. Ahsoka and The Mandalorian with Grogu can be found in the Black Spire Market in the land.

We’ll be at Disneyland on the opening day to see these new characters in action. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney news!

Disneyland has seen a lot of closures lately. There are three current closures at Disneyland right now  – Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, and the Disneyland Monorail – and the Silly Symphony Swings are set to close on April 27th.

Disney California Adventure

But now, we have some good news: two closed Disneyland attractions are reopening this month! 

The Jungle Cruise closed on February 17th for routine maintenance and refurbishment with no set reopening date. Disney just quietly announced that the Disneyland ride will reopen on April 24th! This guided river tour through the African jungle is full of animals, adventure, and dad jokes.

In addition, Disney California Adventure‘s shooting game Toy Story Midway Mania! closed on April 4th. This will also reopen on April 24th! Join Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and more toys in Pixar Pier to test your skills.

Toy Story Midway Mania!

While we’re so excited to ride our favorite attractions again, there are still multiple Disneyland closures you need to know about. Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin is closed. The Toontown spinning dark ride closed on March 30th for maintenance and refurbishment, with no confirmed opening date.

Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin

The Disneyland Monorail also closed on March 30th with no set reopening date. The high-speed transportation system connects Disneyland park to the shopping center, Downtown Disney.

Disneyland Monorail

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters closed on April 13th with no set reopening date. On the Disneyland ride, you’ll take aim and fire your laser to defeat Zurg during a thrilling space battle!

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

In addition, the Silly Symphony Swings will close on April 27th with no confirmed reopening date. The Paradise Gardens Park ride takes you into the air to see DCA from above!

Silly Symphony Swings

Pirates of the Caribbean will be closing for refurbishment on May 4th.  Blue Bayou Restaurant will also close on May 4th for refurbishment with a projected reopening in late May. Blue Bayou will have a modified dining experience when it reopens due to noise and obstructed views of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It’s possible that the reopening of Pirates could also follow this late May timeline, but Disney has not confirmed.

Disneyland Blue Bayou!

We’re so excited to ride Toy Story Midway Mania and Jungle Cruise once they reopen on April 24th. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disneyland news!

It’s time! The 2026 Food & Wine Festival has officially begun at Disney California Adventure!

Full Spread from LA Style!

This festival has so many amazing food and drink options! Here’s our top picks!

DCA’s Food & Wine Festival runs from March 6th to April 27th, 2026. There are so many great food and drinks coming to DCA during the festival. You have plenty of time to grab these amazing items!

Best Eats

Our favorite food items, in no particular order!

Carbonara Pizetta from LA Style

This small flatbread is made with white sauce, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon, and a black pepper drizzle for $8.

Carbonara Pizzetta

We loved that most of the flavor is garlic and parmesan! The bacon wasn’t a super strong flavor, but we liked how the dough wasn’t too thick and didn’t overpower the toppings. The whole pizza was well-balanced and a hit in our books.

READ OUR FULL REVIEW HERE

Pork Chile Verde Chalupas from Paradise Garden Grill

This is two chalupas filled with pork in salsa verde, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco served with Spanish rice and refried beans topped with queso fresco for $14.99.

Pork Chile Verde Chalupas

This totally blew us away! The taco shell was a perfect combination of soft and chewy, and the pork was seasoned so well that the flavors exploded in your mouth. The pork had a bit of a kick, but it was balanced by the lettuce, tomato, and lime.

READ OUT FULL REVIEW HERE

Aguachile Loaded Chips from Paradise Garden Grill

For $13.49, you can grab these zesty chips topped with lime-cooked shrimp, fresh cucumbers, and red onion with aguachile salsa.

Aguachile Loaded Chips

Another hit from Parade Garden Grill! We felt like every chip was perfectly seasoned, and the agua chili salsa had layers of flavor. The chili powder provided a kick, and there’s some in the salsa verde as well, but nothing too crazy. There were so many flavors, and we loved that it was all cooled down by the onion and cucumber. The shrimp added an extra flavor without being too briny, and you can even sprinkle lime on top. SO good.

Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese at Pym Test Kitchen

This grilled cheese is made with spinach and artichoke on parmesan-crusted sourdough, served with potato bites for $14.99.

Spinach and Artichoke Grilled Cheese

The parmesan-crusted bread gave this sandwich incredible crunch without overpowering the flavor. The cheese was perfectly melty and gave us that iconic cheese pull, and the spinach and artichoke flavor really came through. If you love a good spinach artichoke dip, you’ll probably really like this grilled cheese.

Best Drinks

Our favorite drinks of the festival!

Pickle Whisky Sour from Peppers Cali-Ente

This drink is made with bourbon, pickle, and lime juices, and sweet and sour rimmed with Tajin Clasico and Tajin Chile-Lime sauce, and garnished with a pickle spear for $19.25.

Pickle Whiskey Sour Cocktail

We thought this drink was so unique and not something you’d find anywhere else. If you’re someone who could drink pickle juice straight from the jar, you’re going to love this. It had the crispness of a pickle spear, and the Tajin added a nice flavor.
