First On Site Brewery Coming to Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort

First On Site Brewery Coming to Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort

Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA, has been going through some updates and refurbishments through 2018. With the recent reopening of the flagship store, World of Disney, as well as new shops and renovated portions of existing restaurants, Disney has announced an exciting first time addition to the assortment of entertainment and dining locations of Downtown Disney by adding a brewery.

Ballast Point, a well known brewery based in San Diego, CA, will be opening their first ever Orange County location in the Downtown Disney District in the fall of 2018.

The eatery will be a 7,000 sq. ft. location that houses a tasting room, outdoor beer garden, brewery, and kitchen. The menu will included popular items from Ballast Points established menu from their other locations, as well as a few select items that will be exclusive to the Downtown Disney location. Some well known dishes such as a house-made pretzel w/ beer mustard and their delicious Baja-style fish tacos will be featured, as well as an assortment of seasonal offerings such as a variety of flatbreads, salads, and entrees. Speaking of entrees, Ballast Point will also have an beer portfolio to pair your food and beverages together to further your dining experience. Ballast Point will have a diverse menu for guests, but one of the best perks is that they will have children’s menus available as well as vegetarian and gluten-free options. Guests of all ages are welcome to come and enjoy this one-of-a-kind dining experience.

The crew at Ballast Point gives us a virtual tour of what they do best at their headquarters located in San Diego in the video below. They teach viewers how they work their magic to provide their various food and beverage offerings to guests and what we can expect at their new location coming soon to Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort.

Disney Welcomes 2019-2020 Ambassador Team

 

Disney Welcomes 2019-2020 Ambassador Team

In 1965, Walt Disney created the Disney Ambassador Program. For more than 50 years, Disney Ambassadors have acted as representatives of goodwill for the Disney destinations they represent. These Disney Ambassadors represent approximately 150,000 cast members, crew members and Imagineers across the globe. Staying true to Walt’s vision, the Disney Ambassador program keeps moving forward, spreading magic throughout the parks and beyond! On January 1st, these 11 Ambassadors will begin serving at their respective locations. We can’t wait to see them in action!

Disney Welcomes 2019-2020 Ambassador Team

Earlier this week, the incoming class of Disney Ambassadors visited California as part of their extensive and immersive training, which includes getting an inside look at some of Disney’s most exciting experiences. They even got to tour the Studio Lot in Burbank- lucky ducks! We look forward to seeing how the 2019-2020 Ambassadors will add their own pixie dust to Disney destinations everywhere!

Find Your Adventure With This Fabulous Belle Inspired Tee

Belle inspired Tee

One of my favorite quotes of all time is from Belle’s Reprise when she sings “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere”. From the first moment I heard it as a little girl in a movie theater, I knew they were words that spoke to me. This fabulous Belle inspired tee from Pixie Dust Tees not only has that quote, but comes in a blue like her dress, in a delicate white script.

Pixie Dust Tees are always on super soft cotton tees, that are so comfortable to wear to the parks. They are great for a casual DisneyBound, or just to add a little extra Disney magic to your outfit. I love to pair mine with a pair of denim shorts, and rose accessories. If you’re a Belle fan, or a Disney Princess who has plans for her own adventures, you’ll love this tee!

You can get the Belle inspired Tee from Pixie Dust Tees on Etsy! What would you wear this fabulous Disney t-shirt with?

New Entrance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Now Open

New entrance at Hollywood Studios

New entrance at Hollywood Studios

If you plan on driving to Disney’s Hollywood Studios soon, you’ll likely discover things are a bit different, and by a bit different we mean totally different. As of today, guests arriving by personal vehicle will enter the park through a brand new entrance.

 

New Entrance at Disney's Hollywood Studios Now OpenAs of today, the old Beuna Vista Blvd. entrance is only accessible to busses. Cars will enter from an entirely new direction off of Osceola Pkwy, near Victory Way.

New parking

 

The new entrance is larger and can accommodate many more vehicles entering the park than the old entrance. Given the massive volumes expected next year for the opening Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, we are willing to bet this will be well worth the temporary confusion.

New Entrance at Disney's Hollywood Studios Now OpenConstruction at the entrance of Hollywood Studios is still ongoing, however, as the Skyliner Gondola system and a new bus terminal are being constructed. The bad news is that means a long walk and a bit of a headache in the meantime. The good news is that once everything is completed, getting to Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be easier than ever! We can’t wait to see how great it is going to be when it’s all done!
