Easter Sunday continued last weekend’s trend of light crowds and pleasant weather making for a good, good, good, good time at the Happiest Place on Earth.
The Disneyland Resort continues celebrating Mickey and Minnie’s 90th Anniversary with the Get Your Ears on Celebration festivities and food options, Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival serves out its final dishes, and Project Stardust continues tightening planters and widening walkways.
The Adventureland entrance marquee has been removed and a new one should arrive soon. Meanwhile, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge continues at a fever-pitch to open next month and Pixar Pals parking structure speeds along to open as quickly as possible. Of course, a merch run awaits at the end and much more in this latest park pictorial. ENJOY!
Easter Fun Day
Candy Apples and cake pops were some of the sweets you could stuff into your basket (or gullet).
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
Just for the holiday, Oswald returned to Buena Vista Street.
Easter Bunny
After a busy weekend, the Easter Bunny took to Disneyland to greet guests.
Roger Rabbit
We suspected we might see the fan favorite Rabbit in Toon Town but this was the only sign of the mischievous toon that we could find.
Aladdin Sneak Peek
ALADDIN has made its sneak peek debut at the Disneyland Opera House and it brings with it an extended look into the new film plus concept art and some costumes from the feature plus the magic carpet! In the sneak peek — which takes place inside the theater, temporarily replacing Mr. Lincoln — we see some familiar visuals including a portion of “One Jump.”

Steaming Into Toontown
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is coming to Mickey’s Toontown! The same attraction is already set to open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in spring 2020 but will now also be coming to Disneyland in 2022. The ride will be identical to its Florida cousin, except for its entrance facade which will be uniquely designed to fit into Mickey’s Toontown.
