Details on Disneyland's FastPass+ System, Disney Park Pack is Expanding, and More

Details on Disneyland's FastPass+ System:


We already know that Disneyland will not be getting Magic Bands when their FastPass+ system is rolled out in the parks out west. Last night it appears as WDW News Today found out just how the system will work and it looks like it won't change too much from their regular FastPass system they currently have.

With the FastPass+ system at Disneyland guests will only be able to make the reservations for the FastPasses the day of and none will be available in advance like in Disney World. Guests will make the reservations via the mobile app, website, or in-park kiosks. Concerning the kiosks, guests won't have to go to each individual attraction kiosk, there will be a few kiosks around the park for guests to make reservations.

Guests will make reservations for one attraction at a time just like the old paper FastPass system. Essentially, Disneyland's FastPass+ system will just be the paperless version of the old version. There is no word on when Disneyland will switch over to the new system.

Disney Park Pack is Expanding:

If you love the Disney Park Pack - Pin Trading Edition, get ready because Disney is expanding the service. The Park Pack which is essentially a mystery-box that no one knows what's inside until it is opened. On May 9, they will be releasing a one-time only box with collector's memorabilia that will take the collector back to opening day at Disneyland, July 17, 1995. 


The special one-time only box will have an edition size of only 1,200. Guests may purchase this item with a limit of 2 per household. That's not all as Disney will releasing a new special Disney Park Pack this July.


As you can tell by the sneak peak of the packaging above will give collector's that Christmas feeling. This was specially designed for a new collection of specially designed ear hat ornaments. Disney gave a hint that fans of birds that are orange, ghosts, attractions, and more will go wild over this new Disney Park Pack. I can't wait for this Disney Park Pack.

'Frozen' Games Begin May 27 at Blizzard Beach:


The Summer is about to get a lot cooler at Blizzard Beach beginning May 27. Kristoff and Olaf are set to host the inaugural 'Frozen' Summer Games that will run through August 21 at the water park. Kristoff and Olaf are inviting guests to join Team Kristoff or Team Olaf each day  to participate in a variety of winter-themed activities. They include:

  • Ice Pail Relays where teams line up and pass pails of water to one another, trying to be the first to fill a container at the end.
  • A “Snowball” Toss where pairs compete in a snow-themed water balloon toss.
  • Ski Pole Limbo, a snowy twist on traditional limbo—using a ski pole as the limbo bar!
  • Slide Races that allow teams to race down one of the signature water slides at Blizzard Beach
Olaf and Kristoff will be on hand every day appearing on the observation deck of Summit Plummet as they will take part in the opening and closing ceremonies each day, and giving updates on their team's progress throughout the day. The games will be an all-day event. Guests can sign up for the events when they arrive at the park's entrance. All activities will be included with park admission. 

Will you be visiting Blizzard Beach this summer for the 'Frozen' Summer Games?

Reservations Now Open for River Belle Terrace, 'The Force Awakens' Goes Lego, and More

Reservations Now Open for Table-Service Dining at River Belle Terrace:



River Belle Terrace has served home-style eats for more than 60 years at Disneyland, but now beginning February 10, the restaurant will re-open as a table-service location. It will serve your barbecue favorites, tasty sides, and so much more. 

Of course there are new menu items including new appetizers like the creamy pimento cheese dip with toasted bread and crispy celery, grilled and chilled shrimp with a house made BBQ sauce and lemon, and a house salad with arugula, apple, gorgonzola, dried cranberries, candied pecans, and an apple vinaigrette. 

Here is the rest of the menu as seen on the Disney Parks Blog:

"If you’re looking for a lighter entrĂ©e, try a salad topped with your choice of chicken, grilled shrimp, brisket or BBQ tofu. Whether you choose River Belle’s Chopped Salad with romaine lettuce, black beans, garbanzo beans, pickles, roasted corn, red bell pepper and tomatoes topped with fried onions served with a BBQ-ranch dressing or the Terrace Wedge with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, crumbled gorgonzola, garnished with pickled red onions and buttermilk-gorgonzola dressing, you can’t go wrong.

For the main attraction, Disneyland Resort chefs were inspired by barbecue tastes from up and down the Mississippi River. Look for tasty entrees like pork spare ribs, oven-roasted barbecue chicken, barbecue tofu, sustainable fish, oven-roasted sausage links and sandwiches featuring fried chicken, beef brisket or pulled pork. Each entree includes a side of River Belle Terrace’s signature baked beans as well as a choice of tangy coleslaw, seasoned tater bites, potato salad or seasonal vegetables. Kids will love the oven-roasted chicken, sustainable fish, BBQ ribs or mac ‘n cheese, each served with seasonal vegetables and fruit.

No Southern meal is complete without dessert. Satisfy your sweet tooth with the warm maple, apple and bacon bundt cake or butterscotch pudding parfait. For a twist on a classic dessert, try the fried cheesecake."


Reservations of course are now open and you can do so by visiting Disneyland.com/dine or by calling  714-781-DINE (3463).
