In addition to the usual themed pastries, the Magnum Creations truck will sell rainbow colored ice cream.
Unless you’re a particular fan of the artists, or – let’s face it – French, this year’s edition is not worth the price of admission. Save your coins for 2024, at Disneyland Park.

This week we got a first look at the new facade for Pizzeria Bella Notte! It’s a quality design even though it’s pretty visible that the space has been retrofitted.
