Almost as much of a tradition at Disneyland as the Candy Canes at Christmas are the Easter Eggs! This year, instead of guests lining up to get one, they are sold through mobile order only. Mobile ordering opens up around park opening time, so be sure to check a little early if you want to be sure to snag this treat. They are for sale on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday for $14.99 each. – https://www.micechat.com/381195-disneyland-update-balancing-magic-with-reality-spring-surprises-disappointments/ One of our favorite Easter traditions is happening again this year, with a slight twist. The Eggstraviganza is back for guests to test their skills finding Disney character themed eggs throughout the resort. This year, the prize that you collect at the end is not an egg like in years past, but an egg-shaped character charm. To get a map and participate is just $9.99. – DISNEYLAND UPDATE: Balancing Magic with Reality – Spring Surprises & Disappointments (micechat.com) The newish must-have treat at Harbor Galley is now on mobile order. The fresh baked chocolate chip cookies can now be ordered, bypassing the long line that forms for these warm treats. The cookies are still available for walk up order as well. Get in on the mobile order early, as on busy days, mobile order slots go quick! – DISNEYLAND UPDATE: Balancing Magic with Reality – Spring Surprises & Disappointments (micechat.com) New PhotoPass Costumes have arrived at the resort! The new outfits are more breathable than the previous version. As with many of the costumes for cast members recently, there are options for the photographers to choose from.

The “photo safari” is a PhotoPass option where guest line up on the Frontierland bridge and wait for a PhotoPass photographer. Your group then gets the photographer for 10-15 minutes for no additional charge. The PhotoPass cast member will take you anywhere you want to go in Adventureland, Frontierland, or nearby Fantasyland to take multiple photos. – DISNEYLAND UPDATE: Balancing Magic with Reality – Spring Surprises & Disappointments (micechat.com) An annual tradition is coming back to the parks on July 21st this year. The annual Children’s Hospital of Orange County – or CHOC – walk is a charity walk that has been taking place at the resort for the last 32 years. The event was moved to July to better allow teams of families be able to participate while not missing school, or back to school events. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2024/02/29/you-can-take-part-in-a-disney-tradition-this-year-find-out-how/#more-911746 More construction has happened between New Orleans Square and Critter Country.
