Disneyland Update: HalloweenTime, Jungle Cruise and Spooky Food

Last week while down in OC for Scary Farm, we spent the morning/early afternoon at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Our goal was to of course see this years version of Haunted Mansion Holiday, but also finally experience the updated Jungle Cruise (somehow we missed it on our last trip) and see about getting our first ride on Monsters after Dark!

Happy to say we were successful on all 3!

Welcome back to Disneyland!

We're ready for some fun!

Love the Halloween decorations!

We finally got to see the Jungle Cruise udpates! And we loved them! Also had an amazing skipper!

Time for Haunted Mansion Holiday!

Can't believe it's already been 20 years! I still have my 2001 shirt, which I wear only once a year.

Always one of the favorite things to check out!

We got stopped in the graveyard so got a few good pics!

Time to join the resistance!

A wow moment each and every time

Pulled Pork Fries: The Pork and Cole slaw were great. The fries could have been a bit warmer.

The blood orange slushie was fantastic! Could have used a bit o' Rum though. =)

It's 1:00pm, time to head over to DCA! The 1:00 thing is so arbitrary, hope they change that soon.

PBJ & W: PB & J Raspberry Jam Hard Cider with Peanut Butter Whiskey. It didn't need the Whiskey but it was still tasty.

Single Rider FTW! Love when you can do single rider and still ride in the same vehicle!

Cars Land decorations! Click the pictures below for a larger version of each.

Pepper-Jack Cheese Stick. It looked REALLY spicey.

But it could have been a bit spicier for me.

After our snack we wanted to see what time Monsters After Dark started and if we had time to ride before heading to Scary Farm!

We happened to catch it just as they started letting the line in and waited about 10 minutes! And it was AWESOME! This may be our favorite version of this attraction.

It also happened to be Gay Days, moved from it's traditional first weekend in October.

We had a great few hours at Disneyland, it's so great to be able to drop in again!

Thanks for reading! We'll be back at Disneyland in a few weeks for a multi-day visit (a make up from our cancelled Florida trip) and will be checking out all of the nighttime Halloween magic at both parks!

Walt Disney World: Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT update - February 3, 2021

Last week Renée made her first visit to WDW in awhile and sent some great pics of the goings on at Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT.

In addition, she had some amazing pics with Grogu, so if you missed Grogu's Day Out last week, be sure to check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Good morning from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! I haven’t been in this park since July, should be interesting!

And I haven’t been on RotR in over a year. Hopefully the ride is running smoothly today! It was my first time using the virtual queue from home.

Conquered Toy Story Land in less than an hour.

Kylo Ren and storm troopers looking down at guests in Galaxy’s Edge.

I love how WDW has recently stepped up their game with the vegetarian food options. Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy’s Edge has one of my favorites, the Felucian Kefta and hummus garden spread.

The character cavalcades are fun to see. The only thing that bugs me is as they approach, guests don’t care about distancing and get up right next to you at the last minute to see them.

The park feels busy-ish but wait times for most rides are posted at 30-45 minutes and don’t take that long. Love Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway!

Rise of the Resistance was perfect. I hope I don’t have to wait another year till I get to ride it again.

First time park hopping since last March, and also first time seeing these big guys.

Caught the Mickey and friends cavalcade.

I honestly didn’t know that the new area in France that recently opened is literally just bathrooms and bloggers looking through the wall.

It’s nice to see the arts represented once again for the fifth annual Festival of the Arts at Epcot. That animated little f**ker is back as the icon.

The Voices of Liberty are a must see when visiting Epcot. Great to see them on the big stage performing Disney songs for the Festival of the Arts.

I love the new storyline for Gran Fiesta Tour. Donald bails before their big show! Face with tears of joy

Also my first time seeing the fountain, which looks great. Epcot is still very much under construction but if it’s going to look as good as this when it’s done, I’ll take it.

Grogu's Day Out at Walt Disney World

Today's update was supposed to be covering Renee's visit to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot. And we'll get to that.

But I'm pulling Editors privilege today and I think you'll see why.

Enjoy Grogu's day out at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot.
