My articles so far, in which I have compared the two Disneylands closest to my heart (California and Paris), have focused on individual attractions found in Fantasyland. This month, after previewing what I shall be writing for the site in the future, I shall be looking at any aspect of Fantasyland which does not fit into any of my other articles (past or future). As well as the attractions covered in ...

As a longtime annual pass-holder, dining inside Disneyland's two theme parks never crosses my mind. For those who desire more than your average pizza, fries and burgers, Disneyland concessions don't cut it. But menu makeovers debuting throughout the park and resort area could be a game-changer for finicky theme park foodies. Items like bacon-and-fennel-topped flatbreads, premium beef burgers and ...

Who wants sugar in their tea? The Mad Hatter asked. Everyone cheered. It is at this moment when I realised the greatest thing for the 'little traveller' was the parks unique way to bring treasured favourites to life, such as a favoured classic, Alice in wonderland. Many years on from its opening on 17 July 1955, Walt Disney's theme park has sparked the imagination and captured the hearts of thousands ...

Minnie's House, the Haunted Mansion and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride are all attractions families may want to avoid during their next Disneyland adventure, according to an environmental group alleging the California theme park is riddled with attractions that can expose children to potentially dangerous levels of lead. The Mateel Environmental Justice Foundation filed an injunction Tuesday to require the park ...

I recently had the semi-pleasure of visiting the "happiest place on earth," otherwise known as Disneyland, California. Disneyland loomed large for me as a kid growing up in Southern California, and I was cautiously eager to share the novelty of the experience with my own child. What I found was a theme park, in some respects very much as I remembered it, but in other respects more of an appalling spectacle ...

It's finally Belle's time to shine. In honor of the upcoming release of the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, Disney has announced that Disneyland Parks is getting some beastly upgrades. The theme park recently shared some of the magical Beauty and the Beast-themed experiences that will be coming to Fantasyland in California for a limited time. Don't believe us? Ask the dishes! "You ...

The Red Rose Tavern opens for a limited time Feb. 24 in Disneyland Resort's famed Fantasyland. Belle and Beast would be thrilled to invite you to be their guests to the former Village Haus Restaurant, now all dressed up in Beauty and the Beast finery for a limited time. "Over the next few days, guests will see Village Haus Restaurant magically transforming into Red Rose Taverne, a lively tavern ...

There is so much excitement and chatter about the new Star Wars-themed land opening at the Disneyland Resort in 2019, it sometimes seems like people have forgotten all about the classics that made Disney what it is. But fear not, with the new live-action "Beauty and the Best" film opening in theatres on March 17, 2017, the Disneyland Resort is pulling out all the stops as it celebrates its fifth ...

All about the gray stuff, how to get that in-demand souvenir cup and more tidbits about the Red Rose Taverne. Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie, and Disneyland provides the rest. The Southern California theme park is celebrating the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast with the Red Rose Taverne. Location, location, location. The Red Rose Taverne is located in Fantasyland, ...

Here's what you need to try, whether you're headed to Disneyland or Disney's California Adventure. Plan your trip around these treats, and you'll immediately understand why Disney's known as the Happiest Place on Earth - provided you're wearing your roomiest stretchy pants, of course. Lemon Rose Cake What's even more surprising than this bright yellow-and-red mini cake is its layers of flavor ...

Unless you live near Disneyland, it will not be one of your least expensive vacations. You have airline tickets, hotel rates, admission tickets and the list goes on and on. While admission tickets are the expense that you will pay the most for all in one purchase for Disneyland, compared to other items it will probably not be your biggest expense. In comparison you will probably pay more per person on ...

One Disneyland store has an old name, but new merchandise. Another is selling sweets for the first time. This week, Disneyland is opening two new stores before the start of the busy Memorial Day weekend Jewel of Orleans and Geppetto's Sweet Shoppe, Disney announced Tuesday. The Jewel of Orleans spot in New Orleans Square has been empty since early April when the previous tenant moved out. ...

Disneyland is a magical place where kids and adults can go and have fun together. Disneyland is also an expensive place with some very expensive places to eat. However, there are a lot of places in Disneyland to eat that are really not much more expensive than eating at fast food joints. All of the food is delicious and filling. Sometimes if a person is not real hungry a meal can be shared to save money ...

In the third of a monthly series of comparisons between the two Disneylands closest to my heart (California and Paris), I will be looking at the rides, shops and eateries based on Pinocchio. In California, the ride is called Pinocchio's Daring Journey (as it is in Japan), whereas in Paris, it is called Les Voyages de Pinocchio which translates literally as The Journeys of Pinocchio. For the benefit ...

Children, you have no idea what your parents endure to get you a little "Frozen." Merchandise is scarce. Birthday parties with official tie-in decorations are nearly impossible to pull off. And the theme-park lines to meet Anna and Elsa, the sibling royals at the heart of the world's highest-ever-grossing animated movie, are long. Very, very, very long. I was dispatched to Disneyland in ...
