We’re now three weeks into Halloween Time, and there’s quite a bit going on at the Disneyland Resort, including a surprise appearance by the original Redhead on Pirates of the Caribbean, the last remaining tickets for Oogie Boogie Bash, and the start of a refurbishment on Indiana Jones Adventure that Disney hasn’t put an end […]

School may be back in session, but Disneyland’s seasonal calendar is only getting busier. Halloween Time is now underway through October 31 (with Plaza de la Familia continuing through November 2), and Christmas is already waiting in the wings, with the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort running from November 13, 2026, through January 6, 2027.

Halloween has arrived at Disneyland, and the holidays won’t be far behind. But with temperatures pushing into the 90s, the season feels more muggy than menacing. Still, Main Street, Buena Vista Street, and Route 66 in Cars Land are all decked out, the menus have gone full pumpkin, and ready or not, Halloween Time is […]

We’ve been gearing up for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event for months, and it’s finally here. Disney will spend August 14-16 at the Anaheim Convention Center sharing news about the parks, cruise ships, movies, TV shows, merch, and more. But the celebration starts a day early, because Disneyland Park hosts D23 Day this Thursday, […]

Disneyland Resort has dropped the full menu for Halloween Time 2026, and it is a monster — more than 150 items scattered across both parks, all three hotels, and the Downtown Disney District. The good news for the traditionalists: the pumpkin cookies are back at Harbour Galley, packs of six or 13, while supplies last. […]

Southern California summers are always hot, but they somehow still manage to take us by surprise. The last few weeks, though, the heat has also scared away some of the crowds. Add in the fact that many Magic Key holders are currently blocked out, and the parks have been relatively quiet… but Halloween is creeping […]

Last week at the Disneyland Resort had a little bit of everything: an actual Earl at the grand opening of a new restaurant in Downtown Disney, our first full meal (okay, two) at Gordon Ramsay’s The Carnaby, a Dole Whip Day that turned to soup in the 90-degree sun, and Disneyland’s 71st birthday on Friday… […]

D23 Day returns to the Disneyland Resort on Aug. 13, 2026, the day before D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event kicks off at the Anaheim Convention Center. Any guest with valid theme park admission and a reservation can take part… no D23 membership or Expo badge required. Expect complimentary ear hats, free PhotoPass downloads, rare […]

June Gloom has burned off, and Southern California’s summer heat has arrived. But unlike in years past, the crowds haven’t followed. July is traditionally one of Disneyland’s busiest months, yet attendance has remained noticeably light so far. Budget-busting prices may be part of the reason. That could also explain why Disneyland’s limited $59 Evening Ticket […]

We hope you had a very happy 4th of July weekend! The Disneyland Resort celebrated America’s 250th last week with patriotic bunting on Main Street U.S.A. and Buena Vista Street, along with performances by military bands, a cavalcade featuring Mickey Mouse in his star-spangled tux, and the debut of Soarin’ Across America.  But the resort […]

The theme park summer season has only just started, and Disneyland is already thinking about Halloween. Oogie Boogie Bash tickets go on sale next week, and there’s a brand new street party replacing the Frightfully Fun Parade. Will that be enough to justify the high prices of the event… which starts in mid August?! But […]

Halloween Time returns to the Disneyland Resort, bringing seasonal décor, entertainment—including “Mickey’s Trick and Treat” at California Adventure, the “Halloween Screams” nighttime spectacular at Disneyland—and themed attraction overlays, including Guardians of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark, Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, and Haunted Mansion Holiday featuring an all-new gingerbread house in the ballroom. We’ve […]

The calendar may not officially say summer, but Disneyland is already feeling the rush as schools start letting out for summer. Grad Nites, school breaks, and early-summer crowds are filling the parks with students, families, and a constant reminder that teenagers travel in exuberant packs. So far, the weather has been lovely, with blue skies […]

The Disneyland Resort is sliding into the busy summer season with a mix of new experiences, returning favorites, construction walls, and one very serious nearby emergency. This week, Trader Sam’s celebrates 15 years of tiki trouble, a new covered dining area opens in Fantasyland, The Mandalorian and Grogu take over the Millennium Falcon, and fresh […]

As U.S. Route 66 approaches its 100th anniversary in 2026, interest in the “Mother Road” is revving up once again. Nearly a century after it first connected Chicago to Santa Monica, this iconic highway still captures the spirit of the American road trip, and helped inspire one of Pixar’s most beloved films. So in honor […]
