Our Day in Disney California Adventure: The Park Prepares for Opening, NEW EARS, and More!

We spent a lovely day in Downtown Disney yesterday!

Downtown Disney

The Disneyland theme parks may still be closed for the time being, but we’re able to spend the day at the nearby shopping and dining district. So, we’ve got an update on everything NEW! 

Downtown Disney Food Updates

Trolley Treats

Let’s start with some food updates like we usually do! We headed on over to Trolley Treats and spotted TWO St. Patrick’s Day options. First up, there was the St. Patrick’s Mickey Apple for $11.99. Unsurprisingly, this massive treat was tricky to eat but still very yummy.

Look at that bow tie!

This spot also had the Shamrock Krispy for $5.99! It’s an everyday Rice Krispie treat, dipped in white chocolate and topped with some extra-lucky decorations.

This was a super, SUPER sweet treat — but we’re not complaining!

As a note, Trolley Treats was sold out of the Handmade Fudge Easter Eggs. They should return soon!

Avengers Campus

As always, we took a gander at Avengers Campus construction. It’s pretty hard to notice day-to-day differences, but the new area is looking closer and closer to completion.

Hollywood Land

We noticed a fun easter egg at the WandaVision photo op! Careful, it’s kind of spoilery. If you DO want to know what it is, we’ll tell you. You can spot Agatha’s director chair now!

Did someone say new ears? Yes! It was us! We spotted these colorful Disney Parks Mickey Balloon Ears for $32.48.

We do like these kinds of ears but be warned, those balloons can get HEAVY when you’re walking around a theme park all day. You can also get these ears online.

Well, when those ears do get heavy, you could always stash them in your Disney Parks Mini Backpack by Loungefly for $75.
