Well, the change train hasn’t slowed down in the slightest this month!

July is Disneyland’s birthday month, so it’s always a busy one at the Resort. This July was no different: parties, announcements, Pokemon, mishaps…never a dull moment at the park. DISNEYLAND TURNS 61 July 17 is possibly the most important day of the year for Disney fans in Anaheim; it’s Disneyland’s birthday! The park turns 61 […] Read more…

Was it just me, or did June seem to fly by?

Resort Updates – May 2016
Disneyland is rapidly moving into summer mode, which means the bands are out more often, the sun is shining, and the crowds are gradually growing. Like April and March, May was a heavy construction month at the Disneyland Resort. But there are also some additions to the park unrelated to Star Wars Land, which have […] Read more…
Resort Updates – April 2016
It may still be spring at the Disneyland Resort, but April felt a lot more like summertime. Disneyland dazzled with its remaining Diamond Jubilee décor, and California Adventure was buzzing with the Food and Wine Festival. Disneyland didn’t have any special events this month, but Season of the Force in Tomorrowland is still going strong. […] Read more…
Resort Updates – March 2016
Spring is both a positive and a negative change at the Disneyland Resort. The rain subsides, flowers bloom, characters come out of hibernation…but so do the crowds. Spring break time is one of the busiest times of year to visit the parks, and this month was no exception. Just look at the crowds to get […] Read more…

February was one of the busiest months at the Disneyland Resort in recent memory.

This highly anticipated land will debut in 2017, and until […] Read more…
Resort Updates – December 2015
A DAZZLING DECEMBER Disneyland’s holiday décor joined forces with the existing Diamond Jubilee décor this month, making for an extra sparkly holiday season. The lands in both parks were inundated with wreaths, ornaments, and tons of diamond details, and the tree on Main Street USA was bigger and brighter than ever. I absolutely love this […] Read more…
Resort Updates – November 2015
November marks a dramatic shift at the Disneyland Resort; the spooky cobwebs and pumpkins slowly vanish in favor of holiday displays, tinsel, and snowflakes. Despite being a crowded day at the resort, Thanksgiving is largely a non-event for Disneyland. Sure, there are some turkeys and cornucopias around, but the parks tend to jump from Halloween […] Read more…
Resort Updates – October 2015
October is one of the best months to visit the Disneyland Resort; the weather is beautiful, the parks are covered in Halloween décor, and my favorite resort event goes on all month long: Mickey’s Halloween Party!

Resort Updates – September 2015
Fall has finally arrived in Disneyland, and though there’s been little relief from the heat, beautiful shades of orange and red in the parks at least give the illusion that the seasons are changing. Main Street USA and Buena Vista Street now display an eclectic mix of Diamond décor and fall accents. CLOSURES AHOY! As […] Read more…
Resort Updates – August 2015
August marks the fourth month of the Diamond Jubilee, and the party shows no signs of slowing down.

Though there was little in the way of refurbishments in August, the […] Read more…
