It’s time for another installment of What’s New from Disneyland Resort! This week we have some delicious menu additions in Fantasyland, fun construction progress, and more merch than you can wave a flag at. 😉 Come stroll through Walt’s park with us!

(No, the castle’s not uncovered yet. A couple more weeks!)

Disneyland Resort Food and Menu What’s New

We’re starting with food news, which includes some awesome eats from Red Rose Taverne in Fantasyland. The breakfast menu has two filling new-to-us options: Beast’s Breakfast Burger and Stuffed French Toast.

We’ll have a review for these comin’ riiiiiight up!

Meanwhile for lunch and dinner, Red Rose Taverne has added Slow-Cooked Beef Poutine! How ’bout those pickled onions?

And for the heartiest of appetites: Beast’s Forbidden Burger. It’s topped with a Wagyu beef steak, which sounds enchanted to us. 😉

Caramelized onions also make a big impression. This is served with Pommes Frites, so yes, please, we’d like one right now. (Review coming soon!)

If you’re ready for some sweet (and TART), head over to Jolly Holiday for a Key Lime Custard. This super tart treat — returning to the menu — is smooth and cool. It’s a delicious summertime dessert.

Key Lime Custard

We tried this treat back in March when it was called a Key Lime Tart (see our review here!). The only thing that’s changed is the garnish. The white and chocolate piece used to be a white chocolate daisy. Still a real pucker-up kind of treat. 😉

White Water Snacks at Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa has a new Butterfly Cupcake.

This chocolate cupcake has no filling — but it makes up for that with multi-color butter cream, bright seasonal colors, and a white chocolate butterfly!

For Mother’s Day, Trolley Treats created a purple rose cake pop. This was chocolate cake infused with raspberry flavor.

So pretty we had to give it a photo shoot. 😉 The edible gold dust is prominent on this rose (often it’s hard to discern on the red rose cake pops).

Disneyland Resort Construction What’s New

There’s some visible progress on the Pixar Pals Parking Structure. Some wall board is going up on the escalators.

And much work continues on the stairwells, too.

Signs are up for each level, with characters visible on some. Level three is red, which means…

Cars! Mater and Lightning McQueen are ready to greet drivers as they circle for a spot.

And it loooooooks like level four features James P. Sullivan of Monsters, Inc., fame.

We also spied this cute worker safety signage, too. Glad to see Mickey is safety-conscious.

Rita’s Baja Blenders in Disney California Adventure got a paint job. The colorful margarita mecca has a bright orange-and-teal color scheme now. (It used to be brown!)

The view from Pixar Pal-A-Round extends to the park’s future superhero-themed land! There’s not a lot to see yet — unless you’re really into construction materials — but we’ll keep riding so we can give you a birds’ eye view.

The kids’ version has a pretty background pattern, too.

But, like, what can we say about this next item? It’s a Magic Carpet cross body purse by Danielle Nicole. And it’s everything. (We know — that’s a cliche these days — but this time it’s true.)
