Changes are coming to a popular show at the Disneyland Resort!

From mini episodes on Disney+ to a brand-new movie and new experiences at Disney Parks, Bluey has become more and more popular by the day. Over at Disneyland Park, fans can experience Bluey’s Best Day Ever!, an unforgettable experience with Bluey and Bingo. Well, the show is about to get a big schedule change that you’ll want to know about.

We recently went to check out Bluey’s Best Day Ever! over at the Fantasyland Theatre this week, and the show was unexpectedly closed. When we took a look at the Disneyland app, we found out that the show is about to undergo a major showtime change very soon.

Bluey’s Best Day Ever! adjusted its performance schedule to Fridays through Sundays up until September 27th. The shows are at 11 AM, 12:20 PM, and 1:40 PM.

Additional performances will be added on Mondays at the same time slots starting on September 28th. Then, on October 1st, Thursday shows will be added to the schedule as well. That will be the final schedule change, which means Bluey’s Best Day Ever! will be Thursday through Monday at 11 AM, 12:20 PM, and 1:40 PM.

The showtime schedule goes until October 31st, as that’s the furthest you can look ahead on the Disneyland calendar. If any more showtime changes occur, we’ll make sure to let you know about them. If you haven’t been to Bluey’s Best Day Ever!, it’s something you need to check out.

There, you can join Bluey and her sister Bingo for a fun-filled celebration with interactive games and a live musical show! Bluey and Bingo appear live on stage, joining a troupe of comedic actors and musicians. It’s an adorable show that brings the popular show to life, filled with iconic music and games inspired by beloved Bluey episodes that fans will recognize.

Disneyland Quietly Announces a REOPENING Date for a POPULAR Lounge

Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort has so many places to eat that it’s easy to pass by some hidden gems, but that’s what we’re here for!

We recently stopped by Naples Ristorante E Bar at the Downtown Disney District because we heard of a new treat for spooky season. Is this something worth going out of your way for this fall? Well, there’s only one way to find out!

If you head to Naples Ristorante E Bar, you can grab the Pumpkin Blood-Scotch Cannoli for $12. The cannoli is filled with pumpkin and butterscotch chip cream, topped with whipped cream, red caramel drizzle, and a sugar knife.

This treat is very pumpkin-forward and very crispy. It should be eaten with your hands, but the drizzle prevents that. The dough is butterscotch-infused and has a coffee-like flavor about it. The cream is light and fluffy, and we feel like the butterscotch and pumpkin each take turns being the star.

The chips add a surprising crunch on the inside. The whipped cream is light with hints of those “fall” tones, but the drizzle is not nearly as subtle. It’s a red caramel, and it’s sweet. It can be overpowering at times, and we think pulling back just a tad might’ve made this even better.

The sugar knife is just sugar-tasting and the definition of inoffensive. It’s sweet yet bland, but it’ll get covered in everything else anyway

We don’t think kids will like this, but fans of fall flavors like butterscotch and pumpkin should be appeased by this. We think it’s reliably solid, and the fact that you get two makes this a fair value. It is really messy to eat, so we would be aware of that.

We’re always on the hunt for eats and treats around Disneyland Resort, so if you’re looking for more reviews, make sure to follow us at the Disney Food Blog!

REVIEW: I’ve Always Wanted to Drink Banana Bread and Starbucks Just Made My Dreams Come True

Disneyland has added new warning signs to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

In June, a 13-year-old guest at Disneyland climbed out of the ride vehicle on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and fell down the 50-foot drop. Luckily, the guest did not sustain any serious injuries. However, Disneyland has added a ton of new safety warnings at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to help keep guests safe and aware.

Disneyland put up 12 new signs around the attraction. All 12 signs encourage riders to “remain seated at all times,” as the “failure to stay seated will result in removal from the park.”

You’ll find the signs scattered throughout the queue line of the attraction, with different types of looks. Some of them display text, while others use diagrams.

We even found a sign close to the entrance of the queue line stating, “Documents related to the Certificate of Compliance for this attraction may be viewed at City Hall in Town Square.” That sign was also above one stating to “STAY SEATED,” and the consequence for not obeying the rule.

It was never revealed as to why or how the 13-year-old fell out of the log flume back in June. However, Disney is taking the measures that are necessary to make sure an incident like this doesn’t happen again. It’s important to remember how dangerous it can be to not listen to the rules when riding an attraction.

We’re curious to see if more of these signs will be popping up for other attractions around Disneyland Resort, as Disney buckles down on safety. For all the latest Disney news and updates, make sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog.

The Walt Disney Company’s former CEO, Bob Iger, just received one of the most cherished honors you can get at Disney!

Bob Iger has officially been given a personalized window on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. Iger’s window is located above the entrance of the Emporium, recognizing him as the “Chief Architect for New Century Builders.”

The new window on Main Street captures Iger’s approach with the motto, “Looking forward to your tomorrow!” The window also features a series of descriptors that commemorate his leadership during his time at the company, including “courageous,” “confidence,” “excellence,” “innovation,” “curiosity,” and “optimism.”

“I stand here with a deep sense of wonder and humility and appreciation and gratitude for having the opportunity not just to work for the company that Walt Disney founded, but to run the company that he founded, and then to have the opportunity to be given this,” said Bob Iger. “It’s just so special to me to stand here, Town Square, Main Street, thinking about this place over 70 years ago, thinking about the millions and millions and millions of people that have come through, thinking about the thousands and thousands of cast members that have worked here and contributed mightily to what this is, and thinking about the legacy of the people who are represented in these windows, and realizing I’m now among them.”

Bob Iger exclaimed that this moment is more than a dream to him. “It’s actually not even a dream come true, because I never could have dreamed this was possible,” Bob said. The celebration took place on August 16th, and it included the Dapper Dans harmonizing on the Sherman Brothers’ “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.”

Josh D’Amaro, the new CEO of the company, had some kind words for Bob. “He expanded Disney storytelling around the world. He was unrelenting in his focus on creativity and innovation, and he honored our past while always keeping his eye on the future.”

Bob Iger had a long and impactful career as Disney’s CEO. He’s done a ton for the company’s film and entertainment industry, parks and experiences, and more. His legacy is now cemented at Disney with this new window at Disneyland. Having a name emblazoned on a Main Street, U.S.A. window is a tradition as old as Disneyland itself, and now he’s there with the greats!

Oogie Boogie Bash is BACK, and it goes from August 18th through October 31st, on select nights. The party is bringing eats and treats, a dessert party, exclusive character meet-and-greets, and exclusive entertainment and experiences. One experience we were really looking forward to is a brand-new street party that is at the event this year!

If you’re going to Oogie Boogie Bash this year, you’ll have the chance to check out the all-new “Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake – A Haunted Mansion Street Party.” The party brings iconic moments from the Haunted Mansion to the streets of Disney California Adventure, like the Stretching Room!

There’s also a float dedicated to the killer bride Constance Hatchaway. This was a little scary because she’s looking at us like we’re next!

The party features multiple show-stopping moments for Madame Leota to host her spirited séance and swinging wake filled with happy haunts, ghostly dancing, and ghoulish delight. You’re invited to partake in a good time that beckons all 999 ghosts.

Something unique about this parade is that it literally stops for a dance break! So many grim-grinning ghosts were dancing in this street party.

 

We have a lot to show you from our time at the Halloween party at Disneyland Resort. Make sure you stay tuned to Disney Food Blog, so you can hear about everything we experienced.

Everything NEW Confirmed for Disney’s Oogie Boogie Bash This Year

Are you going to the Oogie Boogie Bash this year? Let us know in the comments!

A ton of Halloween merch just dropped at Disneyland, and it features one of the most adorable collections we’ve ever seen!

We can’t believe we’re saying this, but Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort is just around the corner, and in a way it’s already here. We recently went to Disneyland Park, and we noticed that a ton of Halloween merch is now available at the Emporium on Main Street U.S.A. You’re going to want to check this out!

Check out some of the Halloween merch that you’ll find at Disneyland this spooky season! There’s a lot to choose from, from Halloween outfits to home items to little goodies.

You know we’re suckers for Halloween tops, and this Donald Duck shirt is a must-grab in our opinion. It looks like trick-or-treating didn’t go so well.

There are a lot of different Halloween tops to grab this year.

This Disneyland Halloween Spirit Jersey was by far one of our favorite pieces of merchandise that you can grab. The back features the Disneyland logo, and a ton of spooky elements.

A close second for favorite piece was probably this Mickey Mouse Halloween Disneyland hoodie. The back features the beloved character in costume, holding a pumpkin.

This Halloween Disneyland hat would be a great addition to any outfit you put together this fall.

These Halloween Minnie Ears were added to the wishlist as soon as we saw them. With sleek black style, covered in gold bats, and a bigger bat placed behind the black bow, this ones hard to overlook.

There were some other items that stood out to us, like this Halloween bubble wand…

…this Mickey pumpkin trick-or-treat bucket…

…these Crocs Halloween Jibbitz…

…this Winnie the Pooh Halloween countdown calendar…

…and these adorable Halloween Disney figurines!

Speaking of adorable, what we were really excited to show you amongst the Halloween merchandise is the “Boo to You” collection. We instantly fell in love with this entire collection, and to say it’s the most adorable collection we’ve seen wouldn’t be crazy!

Starting with the tops, we seriously couldn’t choose which top we liked more! Our wallets are going to hurt after the haul we’re going to pull off. Some of the pieces included this Disnyeland sweater…

…this ghost featuring a Mickey Mouse ghost…

…this “Hey Boo” shirt, which would great for matching couple shirts by the way…

…this Disneyland Mickey and Minnie ghost top…

…as well as this PJ top!

Some other pieces in the collection that really stood out to us were this Boo to You backpack…

…these Boo to You Minnie Ears, featuring pumpkin Minnie Mouse’s…

…this Boo to You headband featuring a ghost Mickey and Minnie…

…this Boo to You handbag…

…and this Boo to You mug. Again, it makes for a great piece for couples with the “Hey Boo” phrase, and Mickey and Minnie ghosts on it.

If you’re a fan of Disney plushies, you’ll absolutely adore this Minnie Mouse ghost plush. She’s so soft and fuzzy, and look at her little treat in hand.

There’s also this Minnie Mouse ghost squishmallow, that is sure to give you lots of cuddles this spooky season!

We’re expecting even more to appear once Oogie Boogie Bash kicks off! Be sure to stop by the Emporium for your big shopping needs. Just be aware, you won’t be leaving empty-handed once you step into the store. For more Disney news and updates, make sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog!

FIRST LOOK: Disney Reveals 5 NEW Halloween Snacks

You’re going to fall in love with this store’s new look at Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort!

Earlier this year, the Pandora Jewelry store closed for a massive renovation. Now that the lengthy closure is over, the renovation is officially complete. Let’s take a look at the new changes that have come to the popular jewelry store.

Disney put it best when they posted the store’s new look on Instagram — “New look. Same sparkle.” Pandora Jewelry has officially reopened in Downtown Disney, and you can now visit their beautifully reimagined space. Get ready to shop hand-finished necklaces, earrings, charms, bracelets, and so much more.

From the post, the store looks amazing inside! It looks refreshed, elegant, and bright. We love the Pandora logo mirror on the back wall, and the setup is perfect for browsing.

What we love most is the wall of Disney Princesses inside the store. The wall features rings and the Disney castle, as well as a hand-drawn art style of Ariel, Rapunzel, Jasmine, Cinderella, Snow White, and Tiana. Its design is absolutely unique and eye-catching.

It looks like a lot of work was put into the renovation, and we can see why it took a few months to reopen the store. So, head on over to Pandora Jewelry when you’re walking around the Disneyland Resort shopping and dining district.

Downtown Disney has been seeing quite a few changes over the past couple of months. Recently, a brand-new celebrity restaurant called Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby opened, and it’s been super popular! It has an outdoor terrace featuring great views of the fireworks, and it “brings the vibrant spirit of London’s legendary Carnaby Street to Downtown Disney with elevated British fare, inventive cocktails, and an energetic dining experience.”

Why This Disney Popcorn Bucket Is Making A BIG Comeback

Are you a Pandora Jewelry fan? Let us know in the comments!

You know that we’re avid Disney popcorn bucket lovers here at the Disney Food Blog! Disney World often gets some really cool exclusive buckets, but we all know you can’t find buckets quite like the ones you find at Disneyland Resort.

A new King Arthur Carrousel Popcorn Bucket dropped at Disneyland in May of this year, and it was themed after the iconic carrousel in Fantasyland. We were instantly obsessed with it and waited a long time in line to get it. It’s a Magic Keyholder-exclusive popcorn bucket, and you’re probably going to start seeing Magic Keyholder guests walking around with this bucket a lot more over the next couple of weeks!

As great as Disneyland popcorn buckets like this are, they unfortunately can’t be used for popcorn refills. It’s not the end of the world, since the exclusive buckets are awesome collectibles to own, but it would be a great perk to come with grabbing one of these items.

Well, that perk is coming to Disneyland for a limited time! From now through August 17th, Magic Key holders can keep their King Arthur’s Carrousel full of popcorn with $2.25 popcorn refills. Refills will be available at select Disneyland locations. We have a feeling you might start seeing people carrying these popcorn buckets around the parks again.

We’ve seen a ton of popcorn bucket designs drop this year, and this one is by far one of our favorites. The bucket has a beautiful design, and it rotates and plays music. Bringing something like this ot the park can be stressful sometimes. The fear of dropping it, getting it scratched, or breaking it is totally valid. However, that $2.25 popcorn refill is looking pretty sweet.

We’ve seen some pretty cool popcorn buckets at Disneyland this year, and with Halloween Time just around the corner, who knows what could be in store! We’re sure Disney is going to drop new popcorn buckets, alongside other merchandise, during the spooky season.

Looking for the perfect summer treat at Disneyland? We may have found it!

There’s nothing we like more than walking around Disney, looking for new eats and treats to try. We recently went to Disneyland Park and tried a brand-new DOLE Whip. Let’s just say, this may have been the first time we’ve had it this summer, but it definitely won’t be our last!

If you’re looking for a tasty summer treat, head over to The Tropical Hideaway in Adventureland at Disneyland Park. There you’ll find the HOA Aloha Float for $9.99.

This is a Pineapple DOLE Whip with cucumber-lime agua fresca, chamoy, and candied kiwi. It was presented in a way that looked both cute and delicious.

This exceeded all of our expectations! Starting with the candied kiwi, it was like a candied dry fruit texture. We honestly didn’t really taste the traditional kiwi flavor. It was just more like a candied flavor, which might be a win for some and a loss for others. The cucumber-lime agua fresca was very refreshing and so flavorful with the DOLE whip! The chamoy is an added flavor profile that really brings the flavors together. We seriously couldn’t recommend this enough, and think this is the Disneyland treat of the summer. We’re giving this a confident 5/5. This snack might be too much for those who love simple flavors, but it was perfect for us.

If you’re planning a vacation to the “Most Magical Place on Earth” soon, there’s no need to stress! The agents at Small World Vacations know how to save money on your Disney Vacation!

It Just Got EASIER To Dine At Disney’s NEW Celebrity Chef Restaurant

Do you want to try this treat? Let us know in the comments!

The Fourth of July celebration was a big one this year, as America celebrated its 250th anniversary! We’re sure it was an amazing celebration wherever you were, but there was something special about being at Disneyland Resort.

Everyone loves a classic Mickey Bar when at the Disney Parks. It’s one of, if not THE, most iconic snacks at Disney. Well, Disneyland completely changed the beloved Disney treat for July 4th, and we couldn’t pass up on it. Does this hold up to the icon that the Mickey Bar is? We got thoughts for you!

We recently went to Disney California Adventure for the 250th celebration, and we spotted a brand-new patriotic version of the Mickey Bar. It’s called the 250th Celebration Dipped Mickey Bar, and it’s available for $7.99. We grabbed ours at Clarabelle’s Hand Scooped Ice Cream.

The treat is your classic Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar. However, this one has half of it dipped in white chocolate and coated with red, white, and blue sprinkles.

We have absolutely nothing bad to say about a white chocolate and milk chocolate dipped Mickey bar! Of course, you’d look at it and think this is bound to be delicious, and that is correct. We love the white chocolate on this Mickey Bar. It’s a great addition that we honestly wish could be a full-time thing.

It’s super sweet and refreshing on a hot summer day in California. Add in those crunchy festive sprinkles, and you undoubtedly have yourself a delicious sweet treat in the parks. You get a lot for the cost of the treat, too. It’s great value (which isn’t something we say about a lot of treats), and it’s definitely worth the price with the addition of the white chocolate and sprinkles. This is a perfect 5/5, making an already beloved sweet treat even BETTER! It’s not a huge change, but it is a good one for a limited time. 

The agents at Small World Vacations know how to save money on your Disney Vacation! When you book your trip with Small World Vacations, their experienced agents monitor your reservation for possible future savings. They also compare discounts and figure out which one works best for your travel party, dates, resort, and touring plans.

If you weren’t dreaming of a Disneyland Christmas before, you will be now!

Disney has finally announced all the details regarding Christmas at Disneyland Resort, which is coming on November 18th this year, and now our minds are filled with anticipation and holiday cheer. We have lots to talk about regarding the most wonderful time of the year, from exclusive snacks to the Disneyland Christmas parade. Oh, and of course, the ride overlays!

Holiday Ride Overlays

Haunted Mansion Holiday

There’s so much to look forward to when it comes to the holiday season at Disneyland Resort. However, nothing excites us more than the holiday overlays for some of our favorite rides. Tons of rides across the resort transform with seasonal overlays, creating completely new and unique experiences. No ride does it better than the transformation from Haunted Mansion to the beloved Haunted Mansion Holiday!

The Haunted Mansion Holiday arrives for the start of Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, and stays until the end of the Christmas season. The ride overlay sees Haunted Mansion transform from the classic attraction into a seasonal ride inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The ride features Jack Skellington and the residents of Halloween Town, who have taken over the space, showcasing what happens when two holidays collide. It’s filled with festive scenes, updated decor, holiday-infused music, iconic characters, and so much more. It’s a completely different attraction during the spooky and holiday seasons.

The attraction also features an annual gingerbread house, which is a fan-favorite centerpiece located inside the ballroom scene. It even has an aroma that fills the room with that nostalgic Christmas feeling. The gingerbread house is created with a new design every season, and this ever-changing display has become a tradition for Disneyland guests. We always look forward to seeing what Disney Live Entertainment puts together every single year.

“it’s a small world” Holiday

Also returning this year is “it’s a small world” Holiday, bringing Christmas cheer, bright lights, and a stunning finale. Those who love Christmas lights will not want to miss out on this ride overlay, as the ride’s iconic scenes are covered with festive overlays. Each region in the attraction celebrates the holidays in distinct ways, from Mele Kalikimaka to Feliz Navidad.

The attraction also blends the classic “It’s a Small World” song with holiday classics like “Jingle Bells” and “Deck the Halls” into a continuous musical arrangement. However, the most stunning part of this overlay has to be the way the attraction looks on the outside. The Holiday Lighting throughout the night on the attraction’s facade sees thousands of twinkling lights come to life at once. Like we said, a Christmas lights lover’s dream!

Cars Land

Over at Disney California Adventure, Cars Land is the place to be! The holiday season brings Radiator Springs holiday music, plenty of festive personality, and two attractions with seasonal overlays. The first overlay is the transformation from Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree into Mater’s Jingle Jamboree. The ride features a collection of seasonal tunes, but with Mater’s own original lyrics. The ride is filled with garland, lights, and decor!

The other ride overlay is the transformation from Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters into Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl. Luigi and his extended family are celebrating the holidays with festive dances to tunes sung by Luigi himself.

Snacks

It’s not a holiday party without tasty treats! Disney teased a ton of the holiday snacks and drinks that are returning this year on November 18th, and they look delicious. Let’s take a look at the full list:

• Mickey Elf Shake (at Schmoozies!): Mint and chocolate cookie shake with green whipped topping and crushed peppermint candy
• Fried Chicken Cone (at Cozy Cone Motel: Chili Cone Queso): Chopped fried chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, and cheese topped with green onions

• Milk and Cookies Tree-shaped Macaron (at Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe): Green macaron with milk buttercream, filled with chocolate cookie dough
• Cranberry Crispy Chicken Sandwich (at Galactic Grill): Fried chicken sandwich with cranberry-orange marmalade BBQ sauce, provolone, onion rings, and arugula served on a toasted bun

Entertainment

All of the holiday entertainment we love is coming back again this year, including A Christmas Fantasy Parade and “Believe…In Holiday Magic” Fireworks. Don’t forget to check out Wintertime Enchantment at Sleeping Beauty Castle, as you witness a shimmering spectacle that transforms the castle every evening.

Characters

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and some of their friends are going to celebrate the holidays in festive attire at Disneyland Park. There will be activities with Chip ‘n’ Dale, Goofy, and Pluto, including crafts, sing-alongs, and more. Santa Claus will also be coming to town!

Decor

Of course, the park is going to feature gorgeous decor in so many different places. You may spot a skipper-inspired Christmas tree in Adventureland, tiny pieces of garland while on the Storybook Land Canal Boats, or wreaths on Main Street. Oh, and the giant Christmas tree when you enter the park!

Downtown Disney will even have an activity fun for the whole family, Chip and Dale’s Ornament Trail. It will have you go on a search for ornaments hidden on Christmas trees.

There’s so much to look forward to when it comes to Christmas at Disneyland Resort this year. We won’t see it till November 18th, so we’ll be patiently waiting. For more Disney news and updates, make sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog!

Well, a brand-new snack stand just opened at Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort, and this might be the spot to cool you down this summer. We had to check out this new stand, and we’re bringing you our full review. Is this worth going out of your way for? Let’s find out!

The new snack spot at Downtown Disney is called Happy Ice. The brand sells Italian ice, and it’s known for its fruity flavors and frozen desserts. Did you know that this is the first permanent Black-owned dessert company in the shopping and dining district at Disneyland Resort?!

They had so many flavors to choose from! We’re warning you, you might stand there for a while trying to figure out which flavor is speaking to you.

We ended up getting two frozen treats, starting with the Time Machine for $12.00. The treats do come in different sizes, and we ended up going with a large.

This tasted like an elevated DOLE Whip! It’s so incredibly refreshing and tasty. The texture is like a smooth gelato with a slight crunch like shaved ice and a tang like a sorbet. It’s popular for a reason, and the flavors just go so well together.

You can taste each of the flavors separately, yet altogether, if that makes sense!? A large is deceivingly huge and a perfect shareable size…or you can keep it all to yourself! We’re giving this a perfect 5/5, and we would definitely get this flavor again!

The other flavor we got was the Rainbow Gelati for $15, also in a large. This one had a scoop of Joy-Lati, which is the ice cream you can get on top of any of their flavors. Rainbow is their signature flavor because it has all their fruit flavors in one!

It’s absolutely delicious and refreshing! The texture is smooth and creamy, and the Joy Lati ice cream on top adds a milky flavor. It wasn’t necessarily our favorite combo, but if you like Paletas, you would love it! The rainbow flavor itself was a 5/5, but it drops a little to a 4/5 with the Joy-Lati.

You can never go wrong with a frozen treat, and these ones are TASTY! While you’re visiting Disneyland Resort this summer, we highly recommend you stop by here and try out some of their flavors. For more Disney food reviews, make sure to follow us at the Disney Food Blog.
