Upstairs, the new Carnaby Tavern was announced, but has now been rebranded as “Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby.” Gordon Ramsay is a Michelin-Starred chef who will elevate the British-themed gastropub. Some of Ramsay's signature dishes like beef Wellington, fish and chips, and sticky toffee pudding could be on the menu when the location opens. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/gordon-ramsay-at-the-carnaby-coming-to-downtown-disney/ The new “Reclaimed and Reforged” storyline, which was introduced at Savi's Workshop for May the 4th in Star Wars Galaxys Edge has returned. The return also comes at a higher price for the lightsaber building experience. It will now cost $249.99, up from $219.99. This story is available for a limited time, joining the other four themes of Peace and Justice, Power and Control, Elemental Nature, and Protection and Defense. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/reclaimed-and-reforged-returns-to-disneyland/ The first signs of progress have appeared for the eastern gateway project, which will include parking, security, transit center, and eventually, a bridge over Harbor Boulevard. A new permit has been filed to install a 15-foot-long by 8-foot-high chain link fence, as well as a 128-foot-long and 8-foot-high wooden fence in the area. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/10/disney-files-permit-for-huge-new-theme-park-expansion/ A new scavenger hunt is coming to Downtown Disney this holiday season. Chip and Dale's Ornament Trail will feature special Disney character-themed ornaments hanging from trees throughout Downtown Disney. Guests pick up a map and stickers for $11.99 at select merchandise locations, and then search for the ornaments. Once an ornament is spotted, place the corresponding sticker on the map. Once all the ornaments have been found, return your map to a redemption location for a holiday keepsake. This will run from November 14th to January 7th. – https://www.micechat.com/425063-disneyland-news-prices-up-hours-down-rapunzel-rises-ramsay-revealed/ SnackChat: Salt and Straw – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/downtown-disney-district/salt-and-straw/menus/snack/ Discussion Topic: Epic Universe with James and Tage Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Paint the Night, World of Color – Happiness, and Tapestry of Happiness will continue to run throughout the season. Disney says “areas and attractions around the resort will retain special touches, including decorative accents and the colorful castle photo opportunity in the esplanade.” – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/2025-halloween-at-disneyland-oogie-boogie-bash-dates-and-more/ This Saturday, a few authors of Disneyland books will be at Wonderground for a book release and signing.

Walls are back up in this area to install more of these lamp posts. The new lights look like gas lamps, but use regular bulbs with a mesh over them to give a vintage look. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ We talked about the neat Magic Band touch points around Disneyland in a previous episode, but there was still one location that had not come online yet. The last point in Tomorrowland, themed to Autopia is finally online. This one is a bit of a letdown as this one only makes car noises when activated. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ An update that came to Epcot at Walt Disney World has made its way to DCA! Soarin' Around the World has been updated to fix the skewed Eiffel Tower in the attraction. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ Over on Pixar Pier, the new Rex meet-and-greet is available.
