Disneyland Resort: Spring Surprises & Disappointments

It was a big week for Disneyland as the California Adventure Food & Wine Festival brought huge crowds and springtime flavors to the Resort. Meanwhile, Minnie takes over for Women’s History Month, construction rages, and Haunted Mansion forces a crowd crunch. We climb up onto our soapbox over a stupid Lightning Lane situation. And we also share a surprise opportunity you may want to take advantage of before Disneyland figures out how to charge extra for it and how to get those coveted eggs, cookies and more…

Let The Magic Key Madness Begin

Disneyland’s website indicates that Magic Keys will go on sale again March 5th. We’ve yet to receive any confirmation or press releases about it. However, Disneyland posted a teaser this morning (March 4th): But best to be prepared if you need a pass. Last time they were available they began selling out within hours! Everything you need to know about the Disneyland Magic Key program here.

Spring Happenings!

SOOOOOO much to look forward to in the parks right now. From food fests to seasonal happenings, and a few things to keep an eye out for. I’ll start with what packed the resort over the weekend…

Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

Friday was the big return of DCA’s annual food fest. You have until April 22nd to try out the 80+ dishes. We were there for the opening of the fest and tried many of the new items. The hits for me were a popsicle that tastes like an Old Fashioned (non-alcoholic), a BBQ beef slider that had me going back for seconds, and an ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ Chicken Parm (plant-based but with real flavor). I LOVED the beef slider!
