Disneyland is a magical place. When we were children, nothing evoked a higher sense of awe than walking down Main Street U.S.A with our parents as our day started. Every land felt as if you were being transported into a new fairy tale world. Nicole’s dad would tell her “we are going to Walt’s Place” because she didn’t make the connection between that and its real name of Disneyland. The euphoric excitement when seeing the Disneyland sign was something we both remember from our childhoods. Walt’s Place was special then. It’s special now.
As parents, we now see that same sense of awe and wonder in our own children. The excitement though is not just limited to rides. They are just as excited about the pretzels and churros as they are about going for a spin on their favorite rides. If we are being honest, we are often more excited about the foods and drinks than we are about the rides. We are getting old.
In late May 2017 FoodAtDisneyland was started, as a hobby, to keep track of the different foods and drinks at the Disneyland Resort. What began as a hobby has morphed into something much larger than we dared dream. As of April, 2021 we have 116,000 followers on Instagram with thousands of other also following along at TikTok (19,000) and Facebook (13,000). We hope that in some small way we can help you, your family, and/or your friends have a magical experience as you eat and drink your way through Walt’s Place.
We are normal guests when we visit Disneyland. Our faces aren’t shown on our account which allows us to get an authentic guest experience in the Parks – good or bad. We don’t have insider access. Everything we eat and feature on our account inside Disneyland or DCA is paid for by us. We are normal people who happen to love Disneyland. We visit the parks both with our three kids and without them to get a varied experience in the theme parks.
With the Disneyland Resort parks being closed for over a year we are just as eager as you are to go back to the Happiest Place on Earth and once again provide the best food-centric theme park coverage that we can provide. Disneyland finally returns on April 30th, and we will be there to provide coverage. Make sure you check in early and often on both Instagram and here at our blog.
