What’s New in Disneyland Resort Dining
We’re checking out what’s new in dining at Disneyland Resort, and our first stop is at Uva Bar in Downtown Disney. The walk-up window has a fresh new secret menu item that’s so pretty, you’ve got to try it!

It’s called the Purple Galaxy, and it’s comprised of vodka, housemade limeade, and butterfly pea flower tea (hence the purple color!). Click here to see if it’s out of this world (and learn why it’s smoking)!

Craftsman Bar opened at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, and we enjoyed the soft opening and a slew of pool bar eats.

We also spotted the Disneyland incarnation of the Disney Snacks Popcorn Bucket! It’s available in Disneyland Park at various popcorn buckets. We just love this design! There’s a popcorn bucket ON the popcorn bucket! This is a universe we want to live in. See more of the design here!

We stopped into Galaxy’s Edge again, and we re-tried the kid’s menu A Taste of Takodana, the Roasted Endorian Tip Yip Salad, and the Ithorian Garden Loaf. While we’d tried these items at a preview, we weren’t allowed to take photos. Now we’ve got ’em and we added pics to our full review of Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo here!

Bengal Barbecue introduced a new Poke Bowl. We gave this a try and reviewed it here!

Level 2 (Coco!) of the Parking Structure will soon have access to “a walkway to Disney Parks & Downtown Disney,” but the walkway is still under construction. Signs are up, though!

The walkway has come a long way, but scaffolding and equipment are still visible. We’ll let you know when it’s open!

We visited Joy and Sadness at the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind again. We couldn’t help it; our internal consoles made us do it.
Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind
But just look at how pretty it is at night! So colorful and lively — just like those Inside Out characters!
Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind
Based on the reactions of riders, we’re saying Joy is much more prevalent here than Sadness, although there may be a little Fear mixed in, too, for the little little ones.

Disneyland Park has a sign with Galaxy’s Edge status. During our visit, it was open!

We spied some new-to-us tee shirts, but if you’ve ever walked down the toy aisle at Target and had a FurReal pet yell at you, brace yourself.

The king has returned, and he’s seriously FurReal. This $99.99 animated toy responds with over 100 sound and motion combinations. The king lives, y’all!

If you prefer your lions quiet and still, there’s a plush purse for that.
