Hey there, Disneyland friends! I feel like there has been so much happening lately that a few of the newest limited-time food and drink offerings may have slipped through the cracks. Don’t worry though, because I know how important a well-planned Disneyland snacking strategy can be, and I’ve rounded up a few tasty updates that deserve a spot on your foodie wish list, along with a couple of reminders you won’t want to miss.
Last week, our resident knower-of-all-things, Jackie, shared everything you need to know about the D23 Day celebration at Disneyland Resort, including some of the special snacks arriving for the event. Today, I’ve got a few new details to add, along with a first look at some of those delicious offerings. And for my fellow popcorn bucket collectors, consider this your friendly reminder that the new Hatbox Ghost popcorn bucket is almost here. If this one is already on your must-have list, I’d start thinking about your game plan now because I have a feeling these are going to disappear very quickly.
As if that wasn’t enough to tempt us, there are also a couple of new drinks to add to your next Disneyland visit. We’ve got a fresh cocktail to check out in Downtown Disney District, along with a new beverage making its way onto the menu at Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge inside Disneyland Park. Whether you’re visiting for D23 or simply planning your next Disney day, let’s take a look at everything that’s new and delicious.
Red Dragon Cocktail – exclusively at Din Tai Fung, Downtown Disney
Chili Oil-Infused Ilegal Mezcal, lime, pineapple, and agave meet in a chilled glass with a sesame Tajín rim. A one-of-a-kind cocktail!
P.S. Little Red Dragon pairs well with Fried Noodles with Skirt Steak
Downtown Disney D23 Treats
Family Gold Ube Cheesecake – Available August 1st – 16th (Parkside Market in Downtown Disney)

ICYMI: Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket & Sorcerer Mickey CakePop
Haunted Mansion Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket – Available from August 13th for a limited time while supplies last (Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree, Harbour Galley, and select popcorn carts in Disneyland park & Disney California Adventure park)
Sorcerer Apprentice Mickey Cake Pop – Available from August 13th for a limited time while supplies last (Candy Palace at Disneyland, Trolley Treats in Disney California Adventure, and Disney Wonderful World of Sweets in Downtown Disney)
Alderaanian Fizz – Oga’s Cantina – Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

I love that so many of these exciting new options are available in Downtown Disney, accessible without a park ticket for those who want something fun to go and enjoy this summer but aren’t necessarily looking for the full Disney Park day price tag.
Oh, and I am not kidding about that Hatbox Ghost popcorn bucket; those are going to sell out quickly, so have a game plan and be sure to visit a location early in the day, in case you need to make a few stops.
