🗺️ Are you in one of these ZIP codes? Disney has a surprise for you

It is easy to think of Anaheim as theme parks and baseball, but every week we're reminded that the city has so much more to offer.

Longtime neighborhood restaurants, local concerts, hidden outdoor spots, and community events continue to make this place feel like home. We especially love highlighting businesses that have quietly been serving locals for decades.

Thanks for letting us be part of your week.

🎟️ Disney Deals exclusively for Anaheim

The Gist: Disneyland Resort is dropping ticket prices just for Anaheim residents, with adult 1-day, 1-park tickets starting at $71 and kids' tickets flat at $50. The special rates apply to locals in specific ZIP codes, including 92801 through 92809, and go on sale July 16 for visits between July 20 and October 8, 2026. You can grab up to eight tickets per day, but you will need a valid government-issued photo ID to prove you live nearby.

Why It Matters: Having the Happiest Place on Earth right in our backyard is great, but the standard prices can make it tough for local families to visit. This discount makes a day at the park much more accessible for our neighborhood, especially for anyone wanting to catch the popular Halloween transformations starting August 21 without breaking the bank.

⚾ Mike Trout: a 12-time All-Star, starts on Tuesday

The Gist: Angels outfielder Mike Trout was voted in as an American League starting outfielder for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, which will be played July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. That gives Trout 12 All-Star selections, the most of any active player and the most of anyone at the game this year.

Why It Matters: Trout has spent his whole career in Anaheim, and after a couple of injury-marked seasons he has an .866 OPS and 17 home runs in 74 games this year. The Angels are on the All-Star break through Tuesday. First pitch is 5 PM Pacific on Tuesday, July 14, on FOX.

🌮 Thirty-five years of beautiful buffet spreads

Casa Gamino has been holding down its corner of West Anaheim since 1991, serving as a neighborhood landmark with a freshly updated space. It remains beautifully consistent, with staff who treat you like family and a daily buffet.

Summer calls for packing up their exceptionally bright Ceviche de Camaron or citrusy Coctel Ceviche, accompanied by plenty of fresh chips and salsa. Everything is hot, vibrant, and ready for sunny afternoons.

🌲 Shady heights and two very long zip lines

Tucked away inside Canyon RV Park, Orange County Ropes Course feels exactly how a summer afternoon should. The Santa Ana Canyon canopy keeps things surprisingly cool while you tackle 32 different challenges and zip lines stretching up to 277 feet.

The crew keeps the energy warm and grounded. It is a brilliant way to spend a weekend outdoors, with options for every nerve level.
