Disneyland Reveals New Dining and Merchandise Options

According to the Disney Parks Blog, Mickey’s Toontown will debut new and delicious dining options when it reopens later this month and will have some exclusive Runaway Railway-themed merchandise too!

Mickey’s Toontown has been a Disney Park staple for Guests of all ages since the 1990s, offering visitors the chance to live like a Disney cartoon character, exploring the homes of the Fab Five and whirling around in a taxi cab through scenes from 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The themed space features hilarious cartoon gags and characters from franchises like Disney Afternoon’s Rescue Rangers.

Today, Disney has expanded the land, creating two new spaces, the El CapiTOON Theatre, and CenTOONial Park, as well as opening the new attraction, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. The Toontown additions come as part of the Disney100 Anniversary Celebration and the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort’s 100 Years of Wonder festivities.

In fact, Toontown will reopen with more sensory-friendly spaces for play, such as Goofy’s How To Play Yard and Donald’s Duck Pond, along with more green spaces for relaxation… and nothing’s better for that than the Perfect Picnic in the Park! Disney fans will soon be able to purchase exclusive merchandise items, such as the Perfect Picnic Blanket featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and the Perfect Picnic Basket, a novelty item that comes with three snack items.

For instance, choose from applesauce, a yogurt smoothie, granola bars, Cuties Mandarin Oranges, or a gluten-free fig bar for those with allergy restrictions, plus a Minute Maid juice box or small DASANI water. Moreover, a new quick-service location, Good Boy! Grocers will offer even more tasty treats to make your picnic perfect.

With fast grab-and-go options, this “friendly roadside stand” at the Toontown Farmer’s Market provides yummy bites such as whole fruit, Mini Babybel cheese, Coca-Cola beverage products, Topo Chico Sparkling Water, bottled water, gluten-free cookies, fruit bars, and the classic Disney Parks pickles. In addition, the second new location opening this month will allow Guests to experience Daisy Duck’s “expert culinary skills” at Café Daisy.

Choose from a yummy selection of different flavors, such as the Daisy Dog all-beef foot-long hotdog, the Cheesy Pizza Flop-Pver or Pepperoni Pizza Flop-Over, and even the plant-based Spring Garden Wrap, which mixes quinoa and romaine lettuce with creamy lemon dressing and toasted pumpkin seeds. Plus, Daisy’s Dressed-up Dogm, which features chili-cheese sauce, mac & cheese, and parmesan potato crispies, is something more adventurous to pair with your Picnic Time Watermelon Lemonade or Specialty Cold Brrr-ew with Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co. Caramel Mudslide Cold Brew!

What’s more, all meals come with a side of house-made Toontown ‘Tater Chips and you can even add chili-cheese sauce and finish it all off with cinnamon sugar Daisy’s Goody-Goody Donuts. Of course, Café Daisy will offer both onsite service as well as mobile order accommodation.

Disneyland Park Guests can enjoy all these goodies and more when Mickey’s Toontown expansion is finally complete on March 19, 2023.

Flavorful Foodie Guide to the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival 2023

If guests love cuisine inspired by the Golden State, then they are going to want to check out this Foodie Guide because we’ve got a first look at the full menu for the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. This returning flavor favorite will start serving up can’t-miss eats and sips on March 3 and will run through April 25, 2023, at Disney California Adventure park.

From mouthwatering treats to must-try sips, there is plenty to taste across 12 festival marketplaces. With the new soon-to-be favorites BBQ Beef Brisket Slider from Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo and the Blueberry Pancake Cold Brew from Berry Patch, or the returning Mickey Mouse-shaped Macaron made with SNICKERS from Nuts About Cheese, guests will be more than satisfied. If they are looking for plant-based options, this year Paradise Garden Grill will be serving up a plant-based menu for guests to treat themselves too!

The festival marketplaces aren’t the only places guests can indulge in some delicious flavors. All throughout Disney California Adventure park and even at Downtown Disney District, guests can taste their way through California staples. If they want an enhanced feasting experience, they may consider the Sip and Savor Pass, a special, commemorative credential that lets them try up to eight different food and non-alcoholic beverage items at participating locations anytime throughout the festival. Whether guests use all eight tabs yourself – or split with a friend – they can purchase theirs at various locations throughout Disney California Adventure park.

For those wanting an even more special experience, there are unique bookable experiences available at both the Disneyland Hotel and Disney Grand Californian Hotel & Spa as well! Over at the Disneyland Hotel, guests will find the Trader Sam’s Tiki Mixology Seminar where they’ll learn to make one of their legendary libations – the HippopotoMai-Tai – then enjoy some sweet-and-spicy snacks and get a souvenir tiki mug to take home with them. Meanwhile, the Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa Food and Wine Experience is a can’t-miss. Here, guests will be able to meet the chefs, sommeliers, and art historians from the resort as they sip on expertly paired wines and plates from the Hearthstone Lounge. Be sure to check availability for these exciting experiences offered this year.

As everyone can see, there’s limitless foodie fun to have at Disneyland Resort for the festival this year and all across our Disney Parks!

Now, let’s get to the good part, shall we? We now present to you the Foodie Guide to the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. Bon appétit!

Narcoossee’s to Make Its Grand Return on April 1

We hope everyone is ready because we’ve got some exciting news to share fresh off the shore of Seven Seas Lagoon. On April 1, 2023, Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will once again welcome guests for culinary delights in its newly reimagined space. This signature dining restaurant with its spectacular panoramic views, is a staple of the resort, with its waterside location, and over the past several months has seen enhanced interior revamp as well as a refreshed menu crafted by Chef Noah Estabrook and Pastry Chef Kristine Farmer in a perfect balance of updated classics and new epicurean delights.

The new space incorporates the concept of “land and sea” and that’s exactly what the culinary teams drew inspiration from when developing the new menu. Upon sitting down for a meal, guests will be greeted with a recipe created by Chef Kristine specially for this location – an Artisan Boule of Sourdough made with a perfectly toasty crust and baked daily in the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa bakery.

As guests enter their first course, they’ll continue to be met with masterfully crafted dishes. For years, the Bisque has been a mainstay on the menu, so flavor connoisseurs will be thrilled to see it return, but now with an enhanced tableside presentation. The culinary team has also created two new starters. First up, the Beef and Ricotta Tortelloni accompanied by luscious brown butter, parsnip puree, and sultanta raisins.

Next, the Ocean-inspired Charcuterie Board is a fresh take on a classic featuring ahi tuna pastrami, charred octopus, and house-made sausage from the sea. This plate is a true collaboration, with each component representing the style of a different chef on the Narcoossee’s team.

Moving on to the main course of the dining experience, the team has sourced sustainable seafood from both local waters and around the globe, including with Chef Noah’s signature dish, the Blackened Redfish. This meal is served with a crispy chorizo-sunchoke hash with hominy, Florida sweet corn, and red pepper rouille. What makes this fish a standout is the secret blend of blackened spice which has been passed down from chef to chef of the location, with each culinary mastermind finding their own unique way to feature it on the menu.

Plant-based diners will be delighted with the Roasted Vegetable Paella featuring market vegetables, cannellini beans, and preserved artichoke finished with charred Meyer lemon. Those looking for land-based fare will savor in the new Dry-Aged Pork Ribeye Chop served with creamy goat cheese-potato pave and turnips with onion jam and a touch of fig jus.

Of course, chef has kept Narcoossee’s Guest favorites like the Plancha-seared Scallops with Parisian Gnocchi and Surf and Turf featuring tender filet mignon and butter-poached lobster tail on the menu for new and returning guests to indulge in.

The dessert course also features a favorite that has garnered near legendary status over the years amongst diners of Narcoossee’s – Chef Kristine’s incredible Almond-crusted Cheesecake with Lambert cherry sauce and Chantilly cream.

When developing the new additions to the dessert menu, the pastry team was inspired by bright flavors that really complement the overall experience. The Berry Pavlova, for instance, is artfully crafted with Florida fresh berries and citrus delicately placed over meringue and yuzu crémeux and finished with a tableside pour of anglaise. The Pineapple Bavarois is truly a work of art with a roasted-pineapple center and house-made blackberry-buttermilk ice cream. These dishes make for a perfect and sweet finish to a memorable evening.

This waterfront hideaway is the ideal spot to wind down with a fabulous cocktail or zero-proof beverage. The wine list has been refreshed to reflect a diverse portfolio of varietals, with Proprietor Matt Cristi and the sommeliers on his team available to help guests create the perfect pairing for each dish. Our team of mixologists have also thoughtfully curated a new cocktail program, inspired by the Victorian era. A must-try is the signature Empress Lime Gimlet, a modern twist on a classic gimlet with Empress Gin, Rockey’s Botanical Liqueur, and cold-pressed lime.

The reopening of Narcoossee’s comes as part of the multi-year transformation of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, honoring its rich history at the Walt Disney World Resort while enhancing its iconic Victorian charm and elegance. Reservations will open for this grand return on March 1, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back starting April 1 to this enhanced experience destined to become a new favorite!

End Date Announced for Disney’s Dining Promo

The new Dining Promo Card that Disney announced for 2023 has overjoyed fans. This promo card is a new and totally unique discount for Disney, and fans are happy to see them offering savings to their Guests. Unfortunately, the Dining Promo Card won’t last forever, and fans will need to act fast so they don’t miss out on the savings.

Disney foodies rejoiced at the news that a brand-new promo had been released. For Guests visiting the Walt Disney World Resort this year between June 25 and September 25, big savings could be in store. The “Dining Promo Card” gives Guests up to $750 to spend on dining, depending on where they stay at the Disney Resort and when they visit.

So how does it work? When a Guest books a room between the allotted dates, they will be given the option to add on the Dining Promo Card.

This barcode will act as a Disney Dining gift card and it is what will take money off of your bill at participating locations.

The promo only works for those making a reservation for non-discounted rooms staying at least 4 nights. The promo gives a limited amount of money that can be discounted per night on dining. This dining card gives Guests heavily discounted or free dining while staying at the Walt Disney World Resort.
